[@basstian]

It's a shame John Deacon didn't get involved, but his favourite bassist was there, so that's a plus anyway!

[@γιωργοςροδιτης-σ9ε]

It is time to react to Deep Purple!

[@The1queencollector]

Brians sound and playing really stands out in this, they all rock. Who knew Paul Rogers woukd go on to play with Queen years later.

[@edwardschwind4986]

Boy does this song bring back memories!!! I used to crank this song with my two 600 watt amps under both front seats on my Alpine cd player and my kicker speakers!!

[@bobby666666]

Paul Rogers from Free and Bad Company, Dave Gilmour from Pink Floyd and Ritchie Blackmore, and Ian Gillian from Deep Purple were featured as well as others you won't know. Deep Purple still exist.

[@malcolmpeacock2484]

Hello Mr & Mrs Coach. Wow Smoke on the Water awesome. This must have been in the 80s looking at how young the artists look . Great reaction video. Thank you

[@CoachCastTV]

Thank you!

[@iris67si]

Summer of 1989 😅

[@mikeg.4211]

Ritchie Blackmore from Deep Purple was also in there.

[@mannygee005]

holy moly that was cool! I think Ritchie was taking a bit of a backseat... because after all he created the riff. Except Ian was showing off his vocals 🙂 That was so cool, it was great to see everyone.

[@jodipaulsen1187]

Coach, you can still watch the whole special on you tube

[@CoachCastTV]

Good to know!

[@janethernandez724]

Ooooh! I love this Deep Purple song Smoke on the Water! This song originally came out in 1972, I was just a child, but THAT guitar riff is undeniably recognizable. I will raise up the volume in my car nowadays when I hear this song come on, it is THAT GOOD! This song rocks to this day! Much respect to all of these legendary musicians, who brought us some of the best rock and roll music in the 1970s and banded up together to bring us this wonderful collaboration! What a gem of a jam session though, right? I love this video reaction, I am so happy you reacted to it, I have not seen this before but what a wonderful treat to watch this morning! This made a happy start to my day! Thank you Coach and Mrs. Coach! Happy Friday! Peace! ☮

[@CoachCastTV]

Many thanks for the great comment. Agreed that the riff is a classic that most people would have heard.

@@janethernandez724 the re-recording of SOTW was a part of Rock Aid Armenia project after 1988 devastating earthquake in Armenia. It was done in 5 sessions in the summer of 1989.

[@iris67si]

The strory of the song Smoke on The Water (1972) is told in its lyrics: Deep Purple came to Montreux, Switzerland to record in the studio which was placed up the casino. It was a few hundred years old wooden building. Frank Zappa had the concert outdoors and "some stupid" from the public fired "the flare gun", the building caught fire and burned to the ground. 😮 Years after the casino along with the recordings studio was rebuilt and Queen bought it in 1978. They recorded several songs/albums there, among them Under Pressure (David Bowie, whose 9 years unnecessary of his passing is today 😢, lived in Montreux) and Innuendo (where Steve Howe visited the boys and was invited to play the flamenco part with Brian) The studio became Freddie's and Queen's safe heaven in tne last 5 years. The final Made in Heaven album (1995) was mixed thete and in 2013 the Mountains Studio was opened for public as Queen's Studio Experience.

[@iris67si]

Coach & Roger TOGETHER? 😮 Geez, that would end in a ton of shenanigans 😂 even now with Roger being 75, but back in the days ? 😮 Oh, dear Lord, these two mischievous guys even Freddie wouldn't be able to stop ... 😆😜🤣

[@CoachCastTV]

🤣 They would have written songs about it.

[@iris67si]

@CoachCastTV 🤣 oh, yeah. But imagine how much work would the tabloid press have? 😜

[@CoachCastTV]

@@iris67si Coach and Roger, job creators. I like it! 😂

[@deborahr9188]

With some detail: 3':09": is Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden). 3'37", 4':11"... and so on: Ian Gillan from Deep Purple (sing alone the first part). 3':48"...: Ritchie Blackmore (originally from Deep Purple, who created the riff). And Tony Iommi from BS, David Gilmour from Pink Floyd, the two from Queen, Brian Adams, and a whole constellation of splendid musicians, as mentioned in other comments. But... You need to check to the original Deep Purple 'Smoke on the Water'; there so many amazing songs to listen from them, mark II with Ian Gillan, Ritchie Blackmore, Jon Lord, Ian Paice and Roger Glover, masters !💜

[@CoachCastTV]

Thanks for the additional information.

[@sherlyxyuna2779]

Queen, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Rush my favorite Band ❤

[@richmayes8451]

I think you do need to react to both Deep Purple, with this song, plus Child In Time and Highway Star, just to get you going. I also think it's time to react to some Iron Maiden, especially as they are starting a new tour in a few months called Run For Your Lives to celebrate their 50th Anniversary. I am seeing them perform for the 3rd time in 7 years at the London Stadium in June, where their beloved football (soccer) team, West Ham United play their home games.

[@davidmazzell2332]

Ian Gillian and Ritchie blackmore were the only deep purple members I saw.😬😬😬

[@liys540]

Yes + black sabbath + pink floyd + queen + rush + iron maiden + bad company

[@Canucklehead557]

I really have expectencies that the coach family meets Roger Taylor. Please post that. Happy New year Coach and Mrs. Coach. I know I'm slow. Don't beat me up.

[@CoachCastTV]

That would be awesome. Happy New Year!

[@tommullenix9493]

Hey team ‼️ they all slayed that jam session, bro⚡️ coach is like me, middle-aged, but young at heart and mind😁

[@CoachCastTV]

For sure!

[@basstian]

Coach's reaction as soon as Roger showed up!

[@iris67si]

Priceless 😜

[@edwardschwind4986]

I love Iron maiden saw them in concert, Hallowed Be Thy Name rocks!!!

[@iris67si]

They recorded SOTW in five sessions. At first one there were Chris Squire and Roger Taylor recording the backing track in a company of Brian May whose left arm was broken (because of the accident on his son's skateboard 😅) but later he was able to play 🎸 with David Gilmour and Tony Iommi. There's a great 40 minutes documentary of Making The Smoke on the Water on official Rock Aid Armenia Channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3fCk3uOqr9ogassi=cVWR_lUA_VbmRsbm I like a part where long time friends Tony and Brian are jamming and joking together but the best part is them playing Shadow's Apache.😮 Priceless. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hn2poK2np62UaaMsi=UMCygyy1K4MODlh7

[@DonnaleaSpencer]

oh, and talk about getting a little behind the scenes, there is a 42 minute long "Making Of " documentary on this very get together! (also on YT).

[@CoachCastTV]

Thanks!

[@Gillie51-bl8su]

Why on earth didn't I know about this? Wasn't it fun, though? And the lads were clearly having a great time too. I was face-spotting (and in Brian's case, skinny leg spotting 😉) all the way through, but although I obviously knew other faces, I couldn't put names to them...

[@CoachCastTV]

Definitely a fun jam session.

COACHCAST TV EXCELLENT - thank you

[@nanner3200]

In the documentary it tells how in the first session (or maybe the first 2?) Sir/Doc Brian had a broken arm and had to fill in his bits later

[@cainealexander-mccord2805]

Hi folks! Looks like this one is making the rounds. Actually, Mrs. Coach, Deep Purple is still together. They've been together almost as long as I've been alive. Anyway, with the popularity of Band Aid, We Are The World, Hear 'N' Aid, etc. I never understood how this one got buried. It was great to see the brothers May and Iommi play together. First kid on the vocals is Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden. The other vocalist is DP legend Ian Gillan. The blonde gent on guitar is the immortal David Gilmour of Pink Floyd. Keith Emerson of ELP on keys, Rush's Alex Lifeson and Yes' Chris Squire on the bass. (He's gone now. Replaced by Geddy Lee. How's *that* for an upgrade?) If a bomb fell on that building just then, Glen Campbell would have been the most popular musician alive. (Borrowed from Eddie Murphy.) Great video! Love you guys!

[@CoachCastTV]

Thanks for the info. Lots of talent in that group, for sure!

[@glennbrock6560]

Try some Pink Floyd, saw David Gilmour was the unidentified guitarist, goat sighting. Try the song Comfortably Numb Live 1994 PULSE Concert. I hear there's a pretty good solo in it.

[@stefanosbowers]

Tony and Brian are best mates. Brian goes round to Tony's house a lot to jam.

[@iris67si]

Brian also played a guitar solo on Black Sabbath's song When Death Calls.

[@mannygee005]

wow I did not know this stuff, very cool! I approve that they're buddies, they probably help each other out... I'm a fan of both.

Coach, you have a very clever and observant Mrs. Coach: the guy in red shirt IS Bryan Adams 😮 and YOU are right too: the first singer (going oops) IS Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden) 😮 The guy with the green bass is Chris Squire (Yes), the guy in black T-shirt is David Gilmour (Pink Floyd), the guy banging on drums 😂 is Roger Taylor, the boy 😅 in blue flowery shorts is Brian May and the left handed guitarist in black is Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath) ... of course you knew these last 3 😂

[@CoachCastTV]

Thanks. I thought I recognized the Iron Maiden singer but as sad as it is to admit, I don't really know their music at all.

[@iris67si]

​@@CoachCastTVperhaps it is time to explore "old" heavy metal/rock groups as Deep Purple, Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath (a singer Tony Martin, with Cozy Powell on drums and Brian May's metal 🎸 solo along with his best friend's Tony Iommi growling guitar: WHEN DEATH CALLS) and Led Zeppelin. ...and more Queen of course 😂

[@DonnaleaSpencer]

Fun reaction for this little super group. Odd, I just realized I could pick up Brian's playing style w/o seeing him. A whole lotta talent right there. ps - I think the guitarist that Mrs Coach was inquiring about was David Gilmour of Pink Floyd. (I believe the other curly haired guitarist, Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple). I need a bigger screen than watching this on my phone. lol

[@CoachCastTV]

Thanks for the info!

Trust me , or dont 😂,the original drummer for this song Ian Paice is pretty top notch for me he's with Bill Ward. Think you'd like Deep Purple, Keyboard and Organ are major features , by the late great Jon Lord.

[@Canucklehead557]

Money, video games or sports. Maybe check out Deep Purple "Knockin at your Back Door". Mrs. Coach. No disrespect intended.

[@BarryOstle-o8z]

hi Coach and Mrs coach great reaction love this version also love the original maybe check out some IRON MAIDEN you might like them.

[@kuntumlaleanqueezer]

🤘🎸🥁

[@Daniel.Karlsson]

Well, that was just a lot of skilled musicians rocking out. I enjoyed the vibe of the whole thing just as much as the music itself. I didn't recognize everybody, but almost! I'm not sure Roger and Coach would be a healthy combination for any of the people involved, including innocent bystanders. It just screams danger to me. 🤣 Also, it's ok Coach, my friends in high school kinda sucked too at times. But you shouldn't let that get to you and check out Iron Maiden anyway! This one is a classic and a good place to start: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIGnfqenms-BnNU The song is called Fear of the Dark and it's live. Catch you on the next one!

[@CoachCastTV]

Awesome, thank you. And yeah, the Roger/Coach combo would have far-reaching implications.

[@michamendalka9902]
