[@samolevski1119]

Regarding the audience not being very animated - this is a frequent comment nowadays, but it's not a concert as we think of them today. This looks like a television recording, and audiences are told in advance to be quiet or they won't get invited again - tickets were not sold on the door but sent to selected people and so were highly prized. You can see similarly dead audiences on other shows from that time. Anyway thanks for reacting to this, I remember it being released when I was still at school and albums were played repeatedly at home and loaned to friends until they were worn out, great days.

[@acfiv1421]

With the technology available at the time, it was very difficult to record a band on a TV stage which is not designed as a recording studio. And if the audience made noise (like dancing) forget about it. That's why most such recordings either a) sound like crap, or b) they just lip-synced the track and didn't bother recording it. That said, this recording is excellent, and is a perfect time capsule for the power of Deep Purple at the time. Big thumbs up to the sound engineer on the TV crew - he nailed it.

[@frankpentangeli7945]

Also, back in 1970 people had probably never experienced this kind of FIRE before, and Purple put them in a coma. 🤣 But yes, this was recorded for a TV show and audience members were warned ahead of time to be as quiet as possible so as not to interfere with the audio recording. Some of the best live sound recording ever took place in British TV studios. Also check out the live studio recording of Cat Stevens back in 1971. Stunning!

Ian Gillan (vocals) of Deep Purple does not get enough credit as a singer... Deep Purple was a huge influence on Iron Maiden (Maiden guitarist Janick Gers played in Ian Gillan's solo band in the 80's) and Metallica (Lars Ulrich said drummer Ian Paice was his main inspiration to play drums)... Ian Gillan even did a Black Sabbath album in 1983 ('Born again') w/ stellar songs like 'Zero the hero' ... 'Born again'... 🤘🤘🔥🔥 And then, there was original guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, who was Deep Purple's towering, unpredictable shredder... When he was good, no one could touch the guy as u saw in this video and his compositions are still legendary ... Unfortunately, when he was in a bad mood or irritated, he could be difficult at best and a nightmare to deal w/ at worst... His demanded persona created a lot of tension within Deep Purple for years and led to line-up changes. For example, he threatened to quit Deep Purple in 1973 as Ian Gillan was leaving the band... He decided to stay only if Roger Glover (bass) was fired... Glover heard and ended up quitting. The band recruited Glenn Hughes (bass + vocals) and then hired David Coverdale (lead vocals) as the new frontman and Deep Purple was more popular than ever in 1974. Despite meeting Ritchie Blackmore's demands and scoring a major record 'Burn'... Blackmore grew frustrated on tour because he didn't like Glenn Hughes' bass playing style and stepped away from the next album 'Stormbringer'... In 1975, Ritchie Blackmore quit Deep Purple and announced plans to form his new band Rainbow in '75 w/ singer Ronnie James Dio (Blackmore wanted total control over his new band) Deep Purple hired American guitarist Tommy Bolin in '75 and released 'Come taste the band'... but fans were not interested in a Deep Purple without the iconic guitarist Ritchie Blackmore (Glenn Hughes later reflected that replacing Blackmore in Deep Purple was impossible back then... like replacing Jimmy Page in Led Zeppelin) After a difficult toured marred by drugs and death... Deep Purple split up in 1976. They reformed in 1984 w/ Ian Gillan, Ritchie Blackmore and Roger Glover rejoining Deep Purple w/ Jon Lord (keyboards) and Ian Paice (drums)... Ian Gillan is still the singer in Deep Purple today.

Doing a one-shot live TV studio performance in those days was very hands-on for the stage crews and the audience were told to remain quiet until the end, the director couldn't afford distractions in the recording as this wasn't a concert where the sound system would dominate. To have a disciplined audience the members would usually be invited friends and family of the production team. This was an ITV show in the UK. The BBC would have their own live music show called The Old Grey Whistle Test in which they did away with the audience altogether.
