(Reaction) Deep Purple - Child In Time - 1970 

Great reaction. That was 52 years ago. I was 17 then.

50 years old... and still one of my favorite songs of all time

*BEST ROCK BAND LINEUP EVER!!*

Lord, keyboards, Paice, drums, Blackmore, guitar, Glover, bass, and Ian Gillan, vocals. All top of the food chain and this is an absolute masterpiece.

this was filmed in a tv studio and crowd was told to keep it calm

5 of the best musicians ever to be in one band at the same time... 'Wait for the ricochet...'

Studio Version = One of the best songs i've ever heard. Live Version = One of the best songs i've ever heard. You decide! :D

DP is simply one of the best rock bands of all time, full stop !!!!!!

I saw Deep Purple live about six times in the early 1970's and they were fantastic every time. The crowd were told not to react by the producer because this was being filmed for TV.

Great reaction! xxx

What many these days viewing this don’t realize is that this is not a performance for the audience. It was a recording before a TV audience where the band is performing live and the audience is instructed to remain still and silent as the recording and filming is in progress. Also, you typically acquired tickets without knowing what would be the feature that day, so there was generally no fans or groupies in attendance, it was controlled. Now Deep Purple especially Mk II) was way ahead of their time and as a result many mundanes in the audience would not know what to make of their performance, but the static response of the audience was by design at the venue of the studio fir this live performance for filming. They would be the same for Lawrence Welk, the Supremes, or the Righteous Brothers. That’s just the way it was, the audience instruction and expectations. Deep Purple concerts were a different scene. Few were able to compete with the innovation show to show as the band did not want to replicate a studio performance, but rather improvise as is common in jazz and blues genres. Styles on tour would ebb and flow even within the same set as a result. It was customary for audiences in those days for filming and taping of shows to offer the polite applause as instructed at the end if the performance, just as the director instructed.

At 9:15 you ask about the left hand guitar technique... “Hammer on” & “Pull off” Richie appears to be mostly hammering on from what I could tell. Great reaction vid!✌️😎🎵🎶

Ian Gillan was the first one to play Jesus in Jesus Christ superstar he was also given the nickname the hairy scream. Along with Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple were known collectively as the Unholy Trinity and with those 3 bands you can trace the start of heavy metal. As for doing the live version versus the studio version well they never preformed it the same way twice so it's all good 👍

You have to remember this was 1970... at that time we were all raised to compose ourselves at all times. To rock out like what happens now would be totally inappropriate and a punishment would surely follow. This is how the "crowds" we raised to behave. The 70s and 80s snapped the world out of it and these amazing rock masters gave us our freedom to rock!

Great band great voice ! Deep Purple in the legend !

live is better then the studio, they are much better live. I seen them 2 times, great each time.

I was a teenager in the 60's and 70's. Such an exciting time for us without h so many brilliant bands

Listen to the whole Made In Japan Live Album. It is considered by millions of fans and many critics to be the greatest Live Album out of the Era of Epic Live Albums. Purple pumped up Live. It like Purple on Steroids. Highway Star is 3 times as good as the Studio Version and that includes Child In Time, Smoke On The Water, The Mule, Space Trucking and Strange Kinda of Woman. No studio enhancements. Exactly how it was played Live.

Great reaction bro I just subscribed keep it up Deep purple pioners of heavy metal

please please try deep purple - perfect strangers,, its in there 80s era but his voice is still sooo clean and amazing

Granada TV were filming a show and the crowd was instructed to sit still. No two versions of this are the same. Always doing something a little different

I've seen multiple reactions to this video and I must say I've enjoyed yours the most. Well done!

Nice when someone notice Ritchie skill, cause most people amazed by Gillan voice, and don`t pay attention to other same for Lord on organ.

Balladean at heart.

So, Ian Gillan on vocals was Jesus Christ in Jesus Christ Superstar (Original Cast Recording). He is truly incredible.

He is the same guitarist that you heard on Rainbow-Stargazer

That's the great Ian Gillan on vocals

Take me back, I want a time machine. Best music

And the guitarist Ritchie Blackmore (except for when he played the lead to smoke on the water) never played the lead the same way twice. That's all improvisation.

Was usual this time for live- versions. 50 years ago was another time...

Unique classic .....nothing else like it.

No había visto tu reacción... estóy siguiendo a quienes lo hacen con Deep Purple y la tuya me resultó hermosa. Gracias de corazón!! 💜💜💜💜💜

Maybe an odd comment but you seem like a super chill guy and I liked that . Also liked your critique of the song and performance , well done Sir !

There's no black or white folk, no yellow or red or whatever color you fancy. There's just people listening to this kinda music. All united in amazement to the sound. All hail to thee, my brother.

The crowd was told to keep quiet. This was being taped for TV in Japan.👍

Won't argue with you on live vs studio. Deep Purple is one of those bands that sounds better live.

Ritchie Blackmore is not for nothing considered as one of the best/most virtuous guitarists of all times. He certainly was it in the 70ties and 80ties.

That would be 50 YEARS AGO

Back in the day the studios often told the crowds not to rock or move etc. They literally had to fold their hands and politely listen. Tough to do with the best heavy metal band this world has seen.

He definitely does not have that voice anymore... they have a new keyboardist and guitarist and musically they are still second to none.

I agree this version is better than the studio version the audience are in a television studio and they have been given strict instructions to stay in their seats and not make noise or they[ll be thrown out

Sure someone else said it already, but when you slam notes on a guitar without "picking" them it's basically "legato", an Italian term, dates way back.

this was a tv studio and they were told to behave and keep it down

crowd had to follow studio rules.

See Rush, Xanadu...exit stage left for amazing rock musicians

oooooh ooooooh ooooh aaaaah aaaaaaah aaaaaah AAAAAAAAAH AAAAAAH AAAAAAH!

Check out Blue Oyster Cult Astronomy live 1978 and Veteran of the Psychic Wars 1981 also live 2 killer guitar solos!

Listen to the original recording. Damn!!!

the audiance will not be able to move due to the audio in the studio as it would pick the movement up and spoil the song.

Please make reaction to Catch the rainbow by Rainbow, live version, I would recommend live in Cologne, or Munich 1977. Ritchie Blackmore and Dio. You would like it. Thanks, and nice reaction.

The only thing better about the studio version is the guitar solo.

The man just hit an a5!!!?..

The loudest band of all time in the world.

All members of deep purple are in there 70s

Awesome bro! Now do R.E.M - Leave You won't regret it.

Please Listen to Child in Time from Made in Japan -one of The Best Live Performaces of all time Better then this one - The Lead Guitar Solo is 3 and Half Minutes it will Blow your Mind do yourself a Favour

1 9 7 0 ! ! !

It's not just talent and skills, there's a lot of work before being able to present such a song, hours and hours of work. Instead of messing around in the streets with their mate and no purpose when they were young, they were practicing their instruments for hours, days, weeks.... They are not born with that level of music. It's all about work and practicing, give back to Cesar what belongs to Cesar.

no the live was a good choise

organ.

Mr Ian paice stroke beat dtummer Is not easy to beatt

SIR.RITCHIE BLACKMORE IS THE GREATEST GUITAR PLAYERS OF ALL TIME AFTER JIMI HENDRIK.

Hello3. No 1.DEEP PURPLE. no 2. Led zeppelin. no 3. Black sabbath.

I do not like live performances. This is the exception.
