You make me laugh the generation before this said this music was crap compared to 1940's/50's music eg Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra , Elvis etc They were wrong of course ! Plenty of wonderful music around now .Just as there was plenty of crap music back then. This track is one of the greatest ever of course.

[@lesparker9787]

Gillan always had a signature move to tell a cameraman when he was getting too close.

[@yuriykalininchannel1563]

What they did in the ' 70s is stronger than a nuclear explosion. My father, like his generation, got us kids hooked on this music. For which I am grateful to my father that I love this music. Gillan's voice is inimitable: it is unlikely that metalheads can compete with the way he sang. Jon Lord-with his inimitable charisma and love of organ music and classical music: became the modern Johann Sebastian Bach in rock music. Bright memory to him.

[@steffenjonda8283]

Well, Ronnie James Dio says hello. And no, Jon Lord was a lot things - but never did he even saw the planet in the system in that JSB lived. Compared to him basically ALL modern writers look like 2-year old ones who cry some stuff. Period. JL was a superb man, who wrote extremly great songs... also the performance was - puh... (and i am a great DP fan. And CiT is one of the greatest songs of the 20th century) But you are blinded by fanboyism... Also DP were not so good in most of their live-performances... True monsters were AC DC and Queen. Esp. ACDC is just the tightest and best performing live band on this planet. And with their lead singer Queen rocked all the time. Just because of Mercury. (but the others were also superb musicians)...

[@steffenjonda8283]

@@AlbertEinsteinSpock Nope i am myself a BIG Deep Purple fan, but they are WAY behind Queen or ACDC... And i have Made in Japan. One of the best albums you could find.

[@ponytrekker9315]

Gillan gets his screams even higher in the made in Japan version.

Made in Japan probably is the best live LP ever !

[@mrgordons]

And even higher on the original LP from 1970.

[@PaulyV56]

[@tomschmidt4355]

Already in 1985 Gillan was no more able to scream the third screaming part. When I saw them on their Perfect Strangers-Tour after reunion, they didn't play CiT . I saw them 3 times since then, he never coped again. On later tours he sang two times the second part, or sometimes Morse lets "sing" his guitar the high notes of the third part.

[@tomschmidt4355]

Nowadays the best performance of the screaming passage since Gillan in Japan 1972 is the cover-version by Strange Kind Of Women - live at La Grande Ourse Concert Hall !! Of course, for a woman it is easier to reach such high notes.

[@TartanBear]

What a line up, Blackmore, Gillan, Lord, Glover and Paice. This track made me fall in love with heavy rock as a lad - could not concentrate on the track because you are so stunning - great work!!

Great comment. I often thank God for letting me be a teenager in the Seventies. It was a magical time of creation.

It wasn’t a German audience. It was recorded at the Granada TV studios in Manchester, England. The audience was told to keep still & silent because it was being recorded live.

So, being almost 51 years old, obviously I know who Deep Purple is, and of course, I know the handful of iconic songs by them. But, one day, watching that VH1 Classic show called, "That Metal Show" they had a top 10 of best vocalist moments, and Ian Gillian popped up. Jim Florentine, who had him at the top of his list, quoted this particular song (which I had never heard of) and said it sounds like somebody dying or being murdered.... Whatever he said, it definitely piqued my curiosity, especially when he picked Ian as his top vocalist when other singers like Rob Halford and Geoff Tate were in the mix, I HAD TO hear this song, and I came across the exact same video you just reacted to, and I was like "Holy Fuck".......What????

[@marshallsnyder8423]

I have a lot of emotional content when it comes tom Deep Purple and this song in particular. I was 14 and dating a girl from a different High school. We went to a concert because she wanted to see the Turtles(2nd opener on a 3 band bill(Happy Together)). I'd heard one song on the radio(hush) but otherwise knew nothing, it was 1968 and it was their first US tour. The turtles were good, but Deep Purple blew my mind and I was never the same. I didn't know you could make a sound like that with a guitar. And Ian Paice(drummer ) played left handed(WTF? Phil Collins is also a lefty). This was from the "In Rock" album and was about Vietnam(like much of rock back then. I missed going to Vietnam by 13 numbers(the draft was a lottery, yearly by birthdate,1 to 365. I was 49 that year, but Nixon ended the draft at 36). At the same time I heard this song....and yeah. Anyway...back then it was the "Terrible Three". The Who, Led Zeppelin, and Deep Purple. Of the 3 only Deep Purple persists in a meaningful way. Still Ian Gilliam on vocals and still the amazing(I'm a drummer) Ian Paice on drums. To experience Ian Paice's groove I highly recommend this one, it's the only youtube version I could find(no vid), but this is the best version, and I'm pretty sure it will want to make you get up and shake your ass, Rasarita's Cantina(a real place):kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKDOgquhq7Cjfbs
