[@nicktecky55]

Not a bit of it. This was recorded in a regional TV studio in the UK. Because so much TV had been live, the technicians all knew how to deal with live bands. This was a strand of programmes with a big variety of music, and the kids had no idea who would be on, the tickets were free, that was enough. My guess is, it is down to the guys in the VTR department that this recording survived, probably hidden under the floor for a while. Most of these recordings would have been for delayed transmission, and the tapes would normally have been wiped for re-use.

The TV show has been taken in1970 I think at BBC Studio and the available equipment for the audio record differs to today's possibilities. So the audience was told to be quiet during the take of the show to avoid disturbing foreign noise to ensure fully music pleasure for the TV viewer. The audio track was recorded live during performance.

Welcome to the DP rabbit hole. The reason for the demure audience is "proper behaviour" was required for studio audience participation. It was a different world 50 plus years ago. And believe it or not, Deep Purple has been actively producing music very recently. Their band has gone through several membership changes over the years and sadly the loss of the keyboardist, Jon Lord. You now have your work cut out for you, Aileen. Enjoy the journey.

And they have been one of my favorite bands since I first heard them in the mid 80's! Some other Deep Purple songs to consider reacting to the next time you feel like reacting to them; - Smoke on the Water - Highway Star - Perfect Strangers - Woman from Tokyo There are, of course, many other fine choices. I just tried to narrow it down a lot!

DP are part of the Unholy trilogy of metal (pioneers). along with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. By the time of this video, they had been around for a few years. They have had various lineups for the band. This one is what we call Mk. ll. Vocalist Ian Gillan, Roger Glover (bass), Ian Paice (drums), Ritchie Blackmore (guitar), and the late...great Jon Lord on the Hammond Organ. This is a deep rabbit hole with many killer songs to their credit! Oh...yes. This was I believe pre-recorded for a television audience. It was a TV studio, so the audience was instructed to be quiet and behave!

[@fabiolignelli7372]

Great reaction. Actually, heavy metal started with Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath (mainly this one), these Sacred Bands, in the late 60s, early 70s. All with impressive members, with a stellar level of excellence in all aspects.

[@fugawiaus]

No one’s said it but if you want to hear their most famous song and a song you’ve probably heard of, listen to “smoke on the water”. You should know it immediately. It’s one of the first songs you learn on guitar and music shops ban you playing it in there. Hehe

Every time I see this recording I can't help thinking of that scene in Back to the future where Marty rocks out on Johnny B Goode. And for very much the same reason, the reaction of the crowd..

Oh Aileen, you’ve hit a gem here. This is without doubt one of the best live rock performances recorded so far in history. This was a band of exceptional musicians who were all at the very top of their game, performing a song that could have been written by the gods. The interplay between organ and guitar during the instrumental section is simply sublime, and then you have Ian Gillian’s voice, which ranges from a quiet whisper to a weapon of mass destruction. The combined effect is like a force of nature that the rest of us mere mortals can only listen to in wonder. Great choice!

[@BarrenCosmos]

I wish I even had a percentile of a percent of talent all of these guys have. From the vocal highs to the instruments just going bonkers groovy. It seemed like there 3 different songs in one. You looked like a kid on Christmas watching all of it, especially half way through with all controlled chaos hitting. First time hearing this band and was pleasantly surprised!

Not ever seen you struggle for words Aileen, but LOL whatta reaction!! Thank you. :)

[@sumonjamal1653]

Imagine that u were a music fan in the late 60's, listening to The Beatles, The Doors, The Beach Boys, The Rolling Stones, and Cream... all those beat rock combos and psychedelic music... And then 1970 comes around and rock music takes a 90 degree detour, going straight up into high vocals, heavy drums, riffing guitars and a powerful delivery... It caught the public completely unaware that music could have this attitude and volume that had never been experienced. Yes, there were explosive bands like The Who, Jimi Hendrix Experience, Vanilla Fudge and Mountain... but when Led Zeppelin debuted in 1969, there was a massive reaction as young fans gravitated by millions to this new 'heavy rock' sound... Then came Black Sabbath, that went darker and heavier than any rock band had dared to go in 1970. Now, Deep Purple was originally formed as a pop rock band around 1968 by experienced musicians and built a brief career in N. America w/ hit cover songs like 'Hush'... 'Lalena'... 'Kentucky woman'... But in 1969, the band heard the music of Led Zeppelin and decided to make a change... original members Rod Evans (vocals) and Nick Simper (bass) were sacked... Ritchie Blackmore (guitar) of Deep Purple decided to enlist 2 members from a hippie band called Episode 6, one of whom was his roommate at the time... Ian Gillan (vocals)...and Roger Glover (bass), joining Blackmore, Jon Lord (organ/ keyboards) and Ian Paice (drums)... They broke new ground in 1969 by recording a 'Concerto' album w/ a classical symphony orchestra... but Blackmore wanted to pursue Zeppelin's brand of 'heavy rock'... In 1970, Deep Purple released the single 'Black night' and followed w/ a full album 'In rock'... and their popularity in Europe and the UK skyrocketed... Unlike Zeppelin and Sabbath, Deep Purple was fast, furious and unpredictable live... and that was evident w/ this early TV appearance in 1970, when people had never heard this level of intensity from a live band. (The late) Jon Lord played his keyboards through a guitar amp so that he could match the intensity of Ritchie Blackmore's guitar. It took a few years for Deep Purple to reach their peak popularity, but in 1972, their album 'Machine head' and a live record 'Made in Japan' broke the band big worldwide by 1973. Unfortunately, Deep Purple was also dogged by tension and Blackmore's temperament... that caused friction in the band and Ian Gillan quit the band by 1973 and Roger Glover was ousted as well (he quit before they could fire him)... Despite the changes, Deep Purple got even bigger in 1974 when David Coverdale (vocals) and Glenn Hughes (bass & vocals) joined and released the albums 'Burn' and 'Stormbringer'... But more issues led to Ritchie Blackmore leaving the band in 1975... he went on to form a new band Rainbow w/ Ronnie James Dio on vocals. Deep Purple hired (late) guitarist Tommy Bolin and released the 1975 album 'Come taste the band'... but fans didn't want Deep Purple without Ritchie Blackmore... and a series of mishaps on tour led to Deep Purple's breakup in 1976. Thankfully, Deep Purple reunited in 1984 w/ Ian Gillan, Ritchie Blackmore and Roger Glover returning w/ Jon Lord and Ian Paice... Blackmore left the band in 1993... Jon Lord left amicably around 2002 and passed away in 2012 from cancer (R.I.P)... Steve Morse (guitar) joined from 1994 until 2022, while former Rainbow keyboardist Don Airey joined in 2003... Deep Purple is finishing off their career w/ Simon McBride on guitar who has been touring w/ the veteran band.

[@genabourassa7962]

I disagree they were not bigger with Dave they were always at their best with Ian Gillan and Roger Glover

[@sumonjamal1653]

@@genabourassa7962 U can disagree all u want... the fact remains that Deep Purple Mark III (Coverdale, Hughes, Blackmore, Lord, Paice) did better commercially and in concert draws in 1974/ '75 than Mark II did in 1970/ '73... They didn't do as well w/ Tommy Bolin in Mark IV. Ian Gillan did say that Mark II in 1987/ '88 and 1993 did poorly in concert ticket sales because of Ritchie Blackmore's tirades... Fans were not happy w/ the performances. But after 1994 when Steve Morse joined Deep Purple, the performances got better... the crowds came back... and Deep Purple built themselves back up.

I believe someone already said about the TV recording, so people back in the 70's couldn't get crazy on live TV. I grew up in the late 60's and 70's and Deep Purple is one of my all time favorites.

Sometimes we get so caught up in the song, we miss the lyrics. Definitely check them out. Great reaction!

[@haraldmax9685]

The concert was part of a series on German television, where popular musicians and lesser-known musicians had the opportunity to present their music live and with excellent recording conditions....... to a wider audience. The audience here is more of an accessory and probably consisted less of fans of the band and their music, than of people from the immediate environment of employees of the broadcaster. The TV recording is from 1970 and the LP Deep Purple in Rock was released in 1970. With Deep Purple in Rock, a whole new chapter in music history was opened, which presented the hard rock of the late 60s even more uncompromisingly and made it more popular. For people who were not part of the scene, the music was not only new but also took some getting used to.

Absolutely. It's an even more intense experience. Uriah Heep's "July Morning" (from 1973 black/white live album especially) should be right in there with those songs. They were one of Queen's main influences, afterall.

[@davidjarvie9546]

I 1st heard this song when I was at school in the 70,s I got into Deep Purple after hearing "black knight " and "smoke on the water " Its been a long time since ive heard "child in time " glad to watch your reaction. 💙🇬🇧👍

[@christhrasher9892]

I'm so very jealous you got to hear them for the first time. I remember my first time and it was magical. Perfect Strangers is a great song by them.

[@bobhope3716]

I recommend Deep Purple's live album titled Made in Japan !

[@darkpassenger66]

DP had some of the greatest musicians ever, especially Richie Blackmore and Jon Lord. I saw them live in Mannheim back in 1985.

[@johnschlutz8644]

saw them in nurnberg 'monsters of rock,'in 86....they are better with lights with german ruggedness..

[@ThielKlenner]

I saw the same concert ☺ it was the greatest concert experience of my life!

[@robsco1249]

Just one name at least to add: IAN PAICE... incredible even here if you listen closely, especially his ghost notes and groove.

[@metalrules7228]

Saw them in Phoenix 1985 after the release of their "Perfect Strangers" album.

[@newgen85]

THAT'S a performance and THAT'S a reaction! 😊

[@LouisFLamas]

Seen them around 5 times and also with all the original members back in the day. Awesome.

[@HansGruberfan]

It looked like Deep Purple crashed a Sunday church service.

[@ay_ay_ron2112]

If you want “controlled chaos” watch Pink Floyd live at Pompeii A saucerful of secrets performance.

[@scottmatzeder9162]

Holy Crap...Ian has an unstoppable voice....its pierces you to the marrow in your bones....Deep Purples is/was one of the greatest musical acts ever! Im so glad that I got to see them Live!

[@Damoinion]

This is one of the greatest precursor tracks that helped influence the growth of metal.

I know someone has mentioned this was recorded for German TV but I'm pretty sure it was actually for a live music show "Doing their Thing" on Granada TV, my local independent TV broadcaster in the NW of England. As mentioned, the audience would have been under strict instructions to be still and silent so as not to affect the recording of the performance, (because the recording equipment wouldn't have been as sophisticated as that available today). I really don't know why reactors are always so shocked by the static audience given that people would have tuned in to Granada at the time to see and hear Deep Purple, not whoops and hollers from the audience, until the end of course. Unfairly, Deep Purple were the less celebrated group within the, so called, "Unholy Trinity" British bands of that era Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, DP, thought to be the Godfathers of what was to become Heavy Metal. For many, myself included, this was the classic line up of DP who would go on to have many personnel changes over the years. Ian Gillan...Vocals, Ritchie Blackmore...Guitar, Jon Lord...Organ, Roger Glover...Bass and Ian Paice...Drums. Unsurpassed.

[@TerryVonCannon]

Great reaction by a beautiful woman Aileen. You really need to continue down the Deep Purple road. Check out Highway Star, Speed King, Burn. Jon Lord (keyboard) Ritchie Blackmore (guitar) and Ian Paice (drums) were all virtuoso players and Ian Gilliam is one one the greatest rock singers of all time.

[@kevinrodriguez5288]

This is the peak of the talent of a singer

[@1630revelloify]

I was lucky enough to catch the classic Purple line-up at Wembley in 1988. Ian Gillan's voice and perfect pitch will stay with me forever.

[@wjl2601]

Wow, this live performance speaks for itself. Deep Purple in this line up was a superieur rockband. What these five top musicians could bring to the table was insane.................!!!!!! Loved the disbelieve shining through in your reaction. Purple deserves that.

[@ernestocheguewasa4601]

When they say Black Sabbath invented Heavy Metal I go further and claim that Deep Purple invented Speed Metal. Ritchie Blackmore's playing techniques and solos are a blueprint for every 80s Speed Metal band.

[@kurtsherrick2066]

In Rock was a Genra of it's own. Yes Ritchie invented Speed Metal and actually Trash. Kill The King encompasses those two things. Ritchie was play Speed Guitar in Mark I live. Ritchie Blackmore to me is the greatest guitarist ever.

[@joelombrdo]

I agree

[@785boats]

Part of the foundation of rock. Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, & Led Zeppelin are known as the "Unholy Trinity Of Rock". So much music over the decades has it's basis in these bands. I'm so glad that I was a teenager when it all kicked off in the late 60's/early 70's. At 64yo I still put the albums on the turntable & crank it up.

[@chrislegner4816]

Simply a masterwork of heavy rock. All five musicians have room to shine here. Great reaction!

[@noahangel6923]

Amazing as always 😢

[@karenscigliano9787]

This song embodies the heartbreak that is the horror of war. DP was a heavy metal rock band which at least 3 members were classically trained. Jon Lord organ, Ian Gillan, vocal, Ritchie Blackmore guitar...Paicey on drums drive this band through all 3 versions

[@danjon1099]

I remember listening to this 40 years ago as a kid. Still my favourite track.
