[@sumonjamal1653]

Deep Purple was originally formed in 1968 as a British pop rock band after the dissolution of the previous band Roundabout... All the members were professional musicians and the first line-up (Mark I) was: Ritchie Blackmore (guitar), John Lord (organ/ keyboards), Ian Paice (drums), Nick Simper (bass) and Rod Evans (vocals)... They released 3 albums and had some success in America w/ hit cover songs like - 'Hush' ... 'Kentucky woman' ... 'Lalena'. The band wanted to change musical direction in late 1969, so Evans and Simper were fired and the iconic Deep Purple (Mark II) line-up was born w/ Ian Gillan (vocals) and Roger Glover (bass) joining from the band Episode 6... w/ Blackmore (guitar), Lord (keyboards) and Paice (drums)... They were the first rock band in '69 to record a 'Concerto' album w/ a classical orchestra... but after hearing the music of Led Zeppelin... Jimi Hendrix... guitarist Ritchie Blackmore suggested that they go for a 'heavy rock' sound in 1970. Deep Purple released their first 'heavy' single 'Black night' in 1970 followed by the album 'In Rock'... they became a hit in the UK, but America still knew them as the hitmakers that played 'Hush'... Deep Purple built a reputation as an unpredictable and exciting live band on tour as they released the albums 'Fireball' (1971) and 'Machine Head' (1972)... but it was the '72 live album 'Made in Japan' that broke Deep Purple huge worldwide and is regarded as one of the greatest live records (The band said the tapes were recorded on their Japan tour and had no overdubs - only some minor audio cleanups) However, the tensions between singer Ian Gillan and guitarist Ritchie Blackmore was becoming intolerable by 1973 after the album 'Who do we think we are' ... Ian Gillan quit Deep Purple in '73... Ritchie Blackmore agreed to stay only if bassist Roger Glover was out of Deep Purple (Ironically, Blackmore hired Roger Glover in 1979 as the bassist/ producer for his band Rainbow) In 1974, Deep Purple launched their new line-up (Mark III) w/ Glenn Hughes (bass + vocals) and David Coverdale (vocals) joining Blackmore (guitar), Lord (keyboards) and Paice (drums)... They released the 'Burn' album and became even more successful than the previous line-up selling out arenas and stadiums by that point... But this time, guitarist Ritchie Blackmore was frustrated by the sound of the band... After another successful album 'Stormbringer' in '74... Ritchie Blackmore quit Deep Purple in 1975 to form his own band Rainbow. Tommy Bolin (guitar) was an American guitarist who joined Purple (Mark IV) in '75 for the album 'Come taste the band'... but fans were not interested in a Deep Purple without Ritchie Blackmore... After a difficult tour marred by drug abuse and death, Deep Purple broke up in 1976. Guitarist Tommy Bolin died in late 1976 from an apparent OD. David Coverdale would find success w/ his band Whitesnake in the 80's... Glenn Hughes struggled w/ addiction for years, but recovered and has been actively recording and touring as a solo artist and has a successful project Black Country Communion. Former members of Deep Purple stayed active in various bands after the band ended in '76... but the Mark II line-up of Deep Purple finally reunited in 1984 (Gillan/ Blackmore/ Lord/ Glover/ Paice) for the album 'Perfect strangers'... and launched a comeback tour. However, conflicts re-emerged between Ian Gillan and Ritchie Blackmore after the 1987 album 'House of Blue Light'... Ian Gillan was fired in 1989 and Deep Purple released 1 album 'Slaves and Masters' in 1990 w/ former Rainbow singer Joe Lynn Turner. For their 25th anniversary in 1993, the other members of Deep Purple wanted Ian Gillan back on vocals... Ritchie Blackmore was not happy w/ the decision or the next album 'The Battle rages on' in '93... Guitarist Ritchie Blackmore quit Deep Purple for the final time that year. After a tour w/ guitarist Joe Satriani... Deep Purple hired former Kansas member Steve Morse (guitar) in 1994 and ushered their most stable era, recording the albums 'Purpendicular' (1996) and 'Abandon' (1998) and actively touring and rebuilding their career. Keyboardist Jon Lord amicably left Deep Purple in 2002 to focus of classical music projects... Jon Lord passed away in 2012 from cancer. Former Rainbow member Don Airey (keyboards/ organ) joined Deep Purple in 2003... the band released the albums 'Bananas' (2003) and 'Rapture of the deep' (2005) ... and remained a successful touring band. After Jon Lord passed away, Deep Purple released the album 'Now what?!' in 2013 followed by 'Infinite' (2017) and saw record sales rise once again. Deep Purple planned to close out their legendary career and finished yet another album 'Whoosh' in 2020 and a covers album 'Turning to crime' in 2022... Longtime guitarist Steve Morse announced that he was leaving Deep Purple and was replaced by Simon McBride (guitar) as the band returned to touring and r reportedly planning another record.

This was a live TV performance from my local TV station Granada TV here in the NW of England, from a series called "Doing Their Thing". Yes everyone always zones in on the audience, but you have to remember technology back then wasn't as sophisticated as it is today, there's a brief shot of one of the cameras, and it's huge, no wonder Ian Gillan reacted as he did when it was shoved up his nose, so the studio audience would have been under strict instruction to sit like church mice, so as not to detract from the performance. I seem to remember that this was broadcast live as well, though I could be wrong, making it doubly important to cut out any extraneous noise. As you say, the musicianship is off the scale, Ian Paice, the drummer is very underrated compared to his peers like John Bonham, ditto Nick Mason from Pink Floyd, but both are very influential within drumming circles. You'll probably come across Ritchie Blackmore, the guitarist, further into your journey. He left this band to form "Rainbow" who, no doubt, you'll be reacting to at some stage. Just for completeness, the late Jon Lord, RIP, is the keyboard player and Roger Glover is on bass. They had many personnel changes over the years, but this is generally thought of as the definitive lineup.

[@ДмитрийЗайденберг]

I wonder if the room where their performed still stands:)

[@nicktecky55]

There's a fansite with details of the series. TV Pop Diaries it's called. VTR machines were in use quite widely in the black and white days. Their replacement was part of the cost of switching to colour. Corrie (also Granada of course) was taped and edited, although for this show, recorded as live was probably the normal procedure. The surprise is that this has survived at all. Almost certainly a fan in the VTR department secreted it away, the norm was for tape to be reused. The EMI 2001 colour cameras were actually smaller than some of the B&W cameras, the pedestals they ran on were the same. As for the audience, Ready Steady Go and TOTP had cameras in the audience; but this local show would not have had the budget to pay four or five stage crew per camera to handle the cable and guide the cameraman. There's also every chance the kids had no idea who would be on; they are all dressed up, and quite young, and Deep Purple were a fairly obscure college band compared with the big names.

TV was a big thing that time. Radio and tv were the only mass media, where you actually could have music for free. And being in tv, as part of the audience, was also a big thing. The producers of the programs told the audience before, that they should stay quiet before the end of the song to not interfere with the audio recording.Technically very different time, and as you can see, the audience is very diverse, different generations from children onwards, normal people. They actually were impressed by the situation, the music, that was very far from mainstream (hard rock was new and heavy metal was not even born), the audience was respecting what they thought was the right thing to do - listen to the music, take the situation in, looking good and appropriate for the cameras. And there were no "music videos" - at all. Just TV recordings and some film recordings. And European broadcast had the best of the best in audio and tv production, because it was financed by public money. Incredible financial ressource, up to today. Many of the best live recordings ever and specifically at this time have been recorded by British, German, Danish and French tv. As you see, the audio still holds up very well until today. You might come across endless "Rockpalast" (German tv show) videos of all times, single songs and whole concerts, that are incredibly well produced. Well, I guess you already had some Wacken videos on your channel, right? Production value of many European tv programs is very high. At that time, this was still a brand new thing. Color tv. It just became affordable for families to have one, that time. Yeah. So, I hope this explains the situation a bit. 🙂 People were not uninterested, they were overwhelmed in the situation. Best regards, and have a great weekend, Stacey.

The vocalist Ian Gillan was also the original Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar (rock opera). One of the best vocalist in rock at that time. (and all time IMO)

So many great Albums. My favourite ist "In Rock" and "Machine Head" with "Lazy"

[@RocklickersRUS-gy9bm]

Highway star live, made in japan!!!! You will LOVE IT!!!!!

[@robertjackson7590]

Made in Japan, their best live concert. IMO

[@Joel-pi2tt]

The crowd was requested to not move and be silent for a near studio live recording. The restraint and respect by the crowd despite the Awe inspiring performance shows their dedication.

[@robertkennedy5414]

Ian had a musical theatre background, and Purple are still active touring. They're set to release the special anniversary edition of Machine Head, a HOF album in their catalogue that is worth checking out.

Deep Purple, una banda con 5 virtuosos, quien de los 5 el mejor. Y este tema, Child in time, una joya del heavy

[@snakeinthegrass7443]

This is going to be fire!!!! Oh yeah...the crowd. Everyone says they were told to be quiet for recording purposes. Ok, that's one part. But the lady in blue explains what's really going on. This was a social experiment, in that, they were told they were gonna see a new Christian pop band but what they got was one of the greatest rock performances of all time, by some of the greatest musicians of all time! The lady in blue summarized the experiment perfectly.

Deep Purple was recognized by The Guinness Book of World Records as the "globe's loudest band" for a concert at the London Rainbow Theatre, during which the sound reached 117 dB and three members in the audience fell unconscious. I hope you will continue your journey of Deep Purple. They have a huge discography to dive into. I’d suggest “Highway Star” and “Smoke on the Water” live in Japan.

[@josephbishop3590]

Thanks Sweetpea❤ Deep Purple is one of the pillars of Rock/Metal with a stellar lineup. When you decide it's time, your next reaction to Deep Purple simply must be either HIGHWAY STAR or SPACE TRUCKING. Both tracks are from their seminal Rock recording MACHINE HEAD. Some of the greatest demonstrations of guitar wizardry ever to be captured on vinyl. BTW... thank you for updating your introductory bio and dropping "washed up". I didn't think you would notice my comment and certainly didn't think you could be more endearing. I was wrong on both counts.😁❤️

[@jamesmeadows8857]

I love watching you and your beautiful face feeling and reacting to the music 🎶. I can tell that the music 🎶 touches your warm soul and sometimes you get very emotional from what the song sings to your heart ❤️. Deep Purple was a great band of the times 60's and 70's, and I got to see them several times. This was the era of great music 🎵 and Classic Vinyl Rock. Listen to their live Album .

[@neil7073]

One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands. I really enjoyed watching your reaction. I’m glad you loved it. You hit the nail on the head. All of the band members are incredible and you can really hear their masterpieces

[@davidbewick9208]

Lloyd Webber held back the recording of the Jesus Christ Superstar album because he wanted Ian Gillan. Gillan did the whole album in one afternoon virtually in one take. Lloyd Webber wanted him for the stage production and the film but couldn't afford to compensate the rest of the band for lost earnings while Gillan was doing it. Hence he went back on tour with DP. Pavarotti called Gillan a genius and the best all round singer in the world.

[@stevePsutton]

Ian Paice is one of my favorite drummers (left handed). Ian Gillan (vocals), I believe, was on stage as Joseph, in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, so I guess he had amazing talent before joining Deep Purple in this the classic Mk II lineup. Other lineups followed, but this is the classic one that probably gave rise to the majority of the classics

[@neverlandxx73]

Dear Stacy just for perspective Ian Gillan is the one that sung the Musical Jesus christ superstar lead on the Concept album before it became a Musical, he was Andrew Lloyd webber's first choise. unfortunatly he couldn't do the musical due to conflict with Deep Purple concerts :) i had the honor to hear him sing in 1992 and it was a religious experience, all the love from Greece, Stay healthy and safe ps. This lineup is golden, all of them are masters of their respective instruments. If i may suggest i think you will love Kasey Chambers cover of Loose your self the cover she made of the goat Eminem song, its just amazing there are no words :)

[@neil7073]

This song grabs you by the soul and takes you on an emotional journey. It’s absolutely amazing

[@Frightspear]

Deep Purple is considered as the first metal band. This is mid 1960s. It's a protest song against the Vietnam War. This is music history. As a vocalist who is now 78 years old and has been singing blues and rock for as long as I can remember, Ian Gillan still rates as one of the very best vocalists ever in the rock genre. Ah...the good old days when there were REAL musicians...glad I've lived them.

[@ingridgabelo2934]

No sé refiere a Vietnam, se escribió por la guerra fría 😊

[@psbarrow]

As the other guy said, but I'll put it in English: Gillan has repeatedly said it was about the Cold War. They were a British band and the (alleged) threat to them was from the Soviet Union, not the Vietnamese. In Gillan's own words: "... we were all aware of the nuclear threat which hovered over us at this time which was probably when the ‘cold war’ was at its hottest ... So, we created this song using the Cold War as the theme, and wrote the lines ‘Sweet child in time, you’ll see the line.’ That’s how the lyrical side came in."

[@warrenbridges1891]

@@psbarrow Just some trivia. Not a threat, but technically Britain was in Vietnam earlier and handed it back to the French, before the French themselves got booted out. All before America stepped in. Some Brits were embedded in the Australian Army which answered the call for help from the U.S.

[@krzysztof-ratajczyk]

not metal, but heavy metal. both are subgenres of rock music

Deep Purple have never received the recognition they deserve as being one of the a time greats in the world of rock music.. Except by us rock fans of course.. Ritchie Blackmore is an amazing guitarist. Ian Paice an exceptional drummer.. Jon lords keyboard playing second to none.. On equal par with Keith Emerson and Rick Wakeman.. Roger Glover is a master of the bass guitar and Ian Gillans voice is in the top 5 of rock vocalists of all time.. He's in my top 3
