FIRST TIME listening to DEEP PURPLE - Child In Time Live (1970) REACTION

We didn't realize back then (70s)that we were growing up in a "golden age" of music and creativity. An Era that won't ever be seen again...

Older music is where it's at. No auto tune, no tech. Just talent.

This is what happens when you get 5 musicians, all at the top of their game. Perfection !

Deep Purple - Made In Japan (Live) is one of the best live albums EVER.

Deep Purple such an amazing band I am 72 years old and that period of time the 60s and the 70s had the greatest music

Deep Purple is considered one of the three "Godfathers" of Rock/Metal... along with Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. They are a truly extremely talented band that made a LOT of great music and influenced a LOT of future bands! Try their "Smoke on the Water" next, and others to consider... in no particular order - Highway Star - Woman from Tokyo - Space Trucking - Burn - Hush - Perfect Strangers I could go on...

Ritchie Blackmore is one of my all-time guitar heroes!!!

There was no template back then, these guys were creating a new genre of music. Their creativity and their skill just breathtaking. Each member of the band is a maestro, each a wonderful musician, and yet, the total was even greater than the sum of the parts. This is one of THE great live performances, imo.

One of the greatest hard rock songs of all time. Band still around in 2024.

I’m lucky I grew up in that time. Deep purple live on this tune is probably the best live video ever produced.

Loudest band in the world at the time, and this was pretty hard for 1970. Remember, DP were already stars, Black Sabbath were just getting their first album out.

DP is probably the greatest collection of musicians ever assembled in a rock band. Every member was a superstar.

this is the best song from the 70Ties, my hair still stands on end when I hear this. it works almost like a time machine. when I hear this my thoughts go back in time. a masterpiece DEEP PURPLE - Child In Time Live , timeless

You hit it right on the nose young lady. Not many young people can understand the total chaos that the words and instruments are describing.

This was their most requested song for years, but Ian Gillan (singer) has said that he had to stop singing it live because it took such a toll on his voice.

This is in my top five live performance of all time. Real musicians, live, no tricks or computers, just pure talent ! When musicianship was a real thing ! Cheers from down under 😎🤘

This was 1970 when Deep Purple (w/ new vocalist Ian Gillan and bassist Roger Glover) were re-introducing themselves as a hard rock band... Initially, Deep Purple was founded in 1968 as a pop rock band comprised of studio pro musicians and got some success w/ cover songs like - 'Hush' ... 'Kentucky woman'... But after hearing the music of Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin by 1969, the band wanted a heavier sound. Ritchie Blackmore (guitar) wanted Deep Purple to record 'heavy' music and enlisted Ian Gillan (vocals) and Roger Glover (bass) to the band w/ founding members Jon Lord (organ/ keys) and Ian Paice (drums) and their 4th studio album 'In rock' in 1970 launched the band as one of the pioneers of the heavy metal/ hard rock genre, alongside Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. This line-up in the 70's delivered the iconic albums - 'Fireball' (1971)... 'Machine head' (1972)... 'Who do we think we are' (1973)... as well as the stellar live album 'Made in Japan' (1972) Unfortunately, guitarist Ritchie Blackmore's demanding & unpredictable personality led to difficulties and tensions within the band... it created quite a few line-up changes... Ian Gillan and Roger Glover were replaced in 1974 by David Coverdale (vocals) and Glenn Hughes (bass + vocals) and Deep Purple got even bigger w/ the albums 'Burn' and 'Stormbringer' in '74. However, Ritchie Blackmore ended up leaving Deep Purple in 1975 and formed the band Rainbow w/ singer Ronnie James Dio... Deep Purple hired Tommy Bolin (guitar) for 1 album ('Come taste the band') in '75... but fans were not interested in the band without Blackmore on guitar... Deep Purple split up by 1976 and guitarist Tommy Bolin soon passed away from an OD. Guitarist Ritchie Blackmore is considered one of the greatest composers and guitar players... but he could also be difficult, uncompromising and unpredictable w/ his moods... When he was good, no one could come close to his brilliance onstage... However, if he wasn't happy, he would be awful and erratic while playing... When he had his band Rainbow between 1975 and 1984, Blackmore went through quite a few members, include 3 vocalists... One example would be the 1993 live concert video 'Come hell or high water' by Deep Purple, where he was upset w/ a cameraman's position onstage and refused to play half the first song... then, he proceeded to dump water on him while the band played... Keyboardist Jon Lord recalled that he worked hard that night just to get Blackmore to play and engage w/ the band onstage... Blackmore was clearly not happy in Deep Purple and quit soon after... But that 1993 show was in sharp contrast to the brilliance that fans heard on their 1972 album 'Made in Japan. In 1984, Deep Purple reunited the classic line-up (Blackmore/ Gillan/ Glover/ Lord/ Paice) and released the album 'Perfect strangers' for a successful comeback... But the same tensions between Gillan and Blackmore in the 80's led to guitarist Ritchie Blackmore leaving Deep Purple permanently by 1993 (Blackmore currently records and tours as a semi-acoustic band Blackmore's Night w/ his wife Candace Night on vocals) Deep Purple recruited Steve Morse (guitar) in 1994 and carried on recording and touring... founding keyboardist Jon Lord amicably left the band in 2002 to work on classical music projects; Jon Lord passed away in 2012 from cancer. Don Airey (keyboards) joined Deep Purple around 2003... Guitarist Steve Morse recently left the band and was replaced in 2022 by Simon McBride (guitar)... and Deep Purple have a new album out this year titled "= 1"... w/ 2 new singles out now - 'Pictures of you' ... 'Portable door'. Some of Deep Purple's iconic songs: 'Smoke on the water' ... 'Fireball' ... 'Highway star' ... 'Perfect strangers' ... 'Black night' ... 'Burn' ... 'Soldier of fortune' ... 🔥🔥🤘🤘

This is a masterpiece plain and simple.

Now "Highway Star" is mandatory.

WOWWWW!!!!! This is by far your best reaction...You understood this song.... This hit you deep and we could all feel it !!!!
