Stage Presence coach reacts to DEEP PURPLE "Child In Time" 

And this is why we old folk don't find today's music interesting at all. We were truly spoiled back then. The level of songwriting and musicianship was off the charts.

Bear in mind this is live 1970..the greatness of pure talent..no autotune no do over no edits

One of the best live performances I've ever seen. Ian Gillan's vocals, Blackmore's guitar, Jon Lord on organ, Ian Paice on drums and Roger Glover on bass. One for the ages...

No autotune, no in-ear monitors, crazy good live singing. The whole band were great players, and always improvised and pushed live.

I miss the era when real musicians made the music we listened to.

100% what is missing from most of today’s music - genuine emotion, and talent

Sit back and admire 5 musicians on top of their craft.

Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath were the Master’s of Rock during that period ⚡️

As You can see. Deep Purple was one of the greatest rock band of all times.

Masters at work. An all time classic and Ian Gillan’s soulful vocals are magical. The song was an anti-war song (Vietnam) so the cries and screams echoed the anguish of war. Powerful performance.

It's not just the playing and the singing of it that is great -- it's the fact that they CREATED this masterpiece.

I'm 65 years old this song Was one of my favorite. Respect from morocco

Ian Gilan will always be remembered for his powerful vocal performance in child in time.

"What we lacked in songwriting we made up for in musicianship" - Jon Lord.

Ian Paice the drummer is starting his 7th decade playing drums for Deep Purple. He is the only remaining original member of the band and still performs with them to this day. Along with the singer you saw and the Bass player you saw, who are still there, but not original members.

every man in this band is a master of their craft.

Sometimes stage presence comes from someone's talent...no one did anything overly demonstrative here, but you can't take your eyes off of the "captured moment"...five young men, at the absolute top of their game, letting it all hang out for something they're passionate about, all in perfect unity...

Your face showing genuine pleasure was truly beautiful

Only one word: PERFECT!!! 👍🎶😎

Yes DEEP PURPLE equals TALENT

Ian Gillan just gives me chills in this performance. I have seen this many times but the reaction is the same every time. Chills. It's brilliant.

The audience was told to be quiet because it was a tv show and it could interfere with the recording. You see that at the end everyone's clapping. Deep Purple in Rock that came out in mid-1970 was, if you count Black Sabbath's first album as the first Heavy Metal album, the second Heavy Metal album in history and it is by far Deep Purple's Heaviest (see Speed King or Hard Lovin Man). Ian Gillian has an incredible voice, without a doubt one of the finest voice in Hard Rock and the clarity of his voice. He's the male Karen Carpenter of Heavy Metal. The God on the keyboard (that had classical training as a kid) is the true God of Thunder, not Thor, John Lord. The drummer Ian Paice is a huge influence to modern metal drummer, he's the personal hero of Lars Ulrich, the drummer of Metalica. The guitarist Richie Blackmore created another hard rock group in the mid 70's fronting another vocal legend of hard rock, Ronnie James Dio. Check out their live version of Stargazer. Simply mesmerizing.

This song will never die

We were so lucky to have experienced the amazing music of a bygone era. 🔥🤠

That shift at 1:42 just never gets old. I'm 60 years old and this still sounds so good.

Mr Gillan. Fabulous lead singer who is still going strong today. Mr Lord. Keyboard player from the Royal School of Music. Mr Paice and Mr Glover - one of the best rhythm combinations ever. Mr Blackmore - an absolute and total nutter - very good at madrigals and Tudor music now, but if you are lucky and see him live, he might slip in Smoke on the Water if he is in a good mood. For most of their time together, they did nothing but argue and fight. That ladies and gentlemen is Deep Purple.

Don't really want to bash all modern music but there's most modern music and there's this masterclass in pure live talent.

See, us old farts know what power,skill,emotion and greatness in music looks like. We were there. What fills my soul with joy is seeing people younger than my socks feel the music and get it. Keep exploring, keep the music alive.

Ian Gillan is just a fantastic singer ,one of the best rock performers ever!!!

Ian was the 1st singer to perform Jesus Christ Super Star, I've seen DEEP PURPLE twice and Jesus Christ Super Star live with Ian!! I'm now 70 still rocking!! Love your reactions!!!

You've said that: "THAT'S REAL MUSIC". ❤

Don't have to worry about stage presence too much when you have that much raw musical talent on the stage.

This was an absolute masterclass. It's also rather different from the studio recording. Ritchie Blackmore (on guitar), Jon Lord (Hammond organ) and Ian Gillan (vocals) liked to improvise. This song was probably a little different every time they performed it. And, as you noted, the audience had no idea what was happening.

WHOA! I forgot just how amazing they were, Lord forgive me!

The definitive Deep Purple track. Total legends

They were in the Guinness book of records for being the loudest band for many years. In fact they were so loud that they did structural damage to the rainbow theatre in Finsbury park London and it had to be closed down. This is the kind of stuff I grew up on. Bloody magic. ✌️❤️🇬🇧

Deep purple 60 years later and still putting in work

Anyone who sees this performance has received a gift ! You picked a very special one to react to this time .

Nothing against Ritchie Blackmore (or Ian Gillan, for that matter), but I feel like the work of organists is criminally underrated in rock music. Jon Lord's playing in this song is iconic. It's not in the background, it's literally *making* the song, and the camera in the video does a good job capturing it.

this is what makes me happy! Young people appreciating so "called old music".

Those guys were super skilled musicians number one. Rock stars second or third or etc.. Great to see a younger person appreciating it.

Ian Gillan used to cry when they first started playing together, the music was so beautiful 😍😍

One of the most talented musicians from 70s

one of the best songs ever 🤩love it!!

I grew up with Purple , still love there music today !

there was never a better band assembled on stage.Ever.

One or both of Ian Gillian’s parents were opera singers. Andrew Lloyd Webber hired him to sing Jesus Christ Superstar. Ian is on the album. He was asked to go on broadway but he said he was a little busy with a rock band.

Your reaction was priceless, I’m so glad I grew up listening to these bands I’m truly blessed 😊

I had the pleasure of seeing Deep Purple perform in the 80's. Incredible performance!

Deep Purple my first heavy metal band in 1973. I had twelve years old. Today listen this perform and tears falling in my face. 1970 I had 8 or 9 years old . Excelente vídeo in image and sound for more 50 years. I like very much this voice and musicians perform. In my opinion John Lord in kiboard is very special. Thanks for her react very surprise in her face. Kisses from Brazil in Rio de Janeiro!

Real music from real musicians.

Ian Gillian will always be one of my all time favorite singers whether in Deep Purple or Black Sabbath. Hes so amazing.

Deep are the god 's of music....😊😊😍😍😍😍

I was 16 and i'd listen that. You cannot dislike this song. Ian Gillain is amazing. All the Deep Purple was amazing.

I was a teen in the late 70s and grew to appreciate this type of music (parents). I totally agree with your observations, this music has worn well over the decades… Good job 👍👍👍

This young lady has the best reviews ever. Thank you. ❤

I love when people discover this amazing, beautiful, powerful performance.

Great reaction to an amazing song. Deep Purple is the true Genisis of metal music

I love watching young people react to great music from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s… I was 15 when this song was released. Getting old is a privilege…

Deep Purple are still excellent live, some 50 years later... although it´s been 20 years since Ian has sung this.

Never miss a reaction to this song. Gillan is a Marvel superhero on vocals. Scratch that. All five are/were 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Legendary band and song 👍 great reactions

I remember when this album came out in 1970, and we all sat around our old momo record player and listened in silence, over and over again, knowing that this was something special, and that Deep Purple had just moved the goalposts. Still a great album...

It's heartwarming to see you, the younger generation, appreciate the incredible music that we enjoyed back in the day. Thank you

Genuine music no filters no anything just pure talent...eneter today ALL filters just look pretty around stage.

Can you imagine, that this piece of music still brings me to tears? I'm an 59 years old man...

Child in Time, the masterpiece of Deep Purple. The Made in Japan version at Osaka , 1972. Great

I was lucky enough to see them live once...amazing. (maybe looking back they were a little too loud.)

On stage. One take. Stunning stuff. Just unworldly talent. Phenomenal! How lucky was I to have been a teen in those days! I will never stop thanking my lucky stars. Cheers from South Africa.

I first heard this song when in rock came out in 1970 i was 12 am 65 now got goosebumps then still do saw them do this live in 1972 awesome tune

I got this album in the early seventies when I was in high school, always enjoy listning to them. Thank you.

Best version of the song "Child In Time" is from the there Album Deep Purple "Made In Japan" Live.

What a great band Deep Purple was…Brillant

Got to see Deep Purple in concert. One of the best I've ever been to.

One of my favourite songs of all time. First record I ever bought, was Deep Purple "Black Knight". Real musicians at work. The World loss that Hip Hop, Rap and Helium voiced girls are the focus of "music" now

Those screams are haunting. a stab in the feels. True art. Love this band. Have for a long long time.

How is possible voice coaches never heard this diamond?

deep purple rules. i listen to this at work all the time cranked!. the whole shop gets so into it! so much talent. great video!

Your facial expression when he hit the highest note was priceless!

Some of us were fortunate enough to grow up to this music and all the other greats from this time. We listened to great music of every genre performed by great musicians we didn't think about what race, nationality or anything else. Hard Rock, Pop, Follk, Motown, Blues ... and so on ... even better we saw them live for reasonable prices not hundreds and hundreds for bad seats. Love your reaction here so genuine. I do recommend you check out Grand Funk Railroad "Inside Looking Out" like Deep Purple here in this video Grand Funk just played in the moment and to think they were 18, 20, 21 at the time.

This audience was definitely NOT ready for this… Legendary!

I saw Deep Purple perform live at least six times in the early 1970s . . awesome band.

The first gig I ever went to as a 14 year old boy was deep purple, a religious experience for me , came home and brought a bass guitar, still playing it badly many years later.😊

They definitely made a name for themselves!! The vocals were off the chains ❤

Classic Deep Purple from back in the day - takes me back to my youth - great to hear on your channel

One of the best for all over the time. I love this song !!!

I think it's awesome a young lady can appreciate music from my era.

Unbelievable, out of this world. Incredible Deep Purple. Love it.

Amazing!!!!!!!🎸

So much talent in this band that it brings a tear to my eyes.

One of my favorte bands of all time. Great concerts!!!

Great reaction. Ritchie Blackmore (guitar), Ian Paice (drums), Jon Lord (keyboard) were all virtuoso performers. Ian Gillian was also an amazing vocalist!. This was an invitation concert and patrons had to agree to sit and listed while song was performed. You need to check out other Deep Purple songs including Speed King, Highway Star, Burn, Demons Eye, Mistreated. 🤘

I hardly ever hear that song anymore but since its gotta go down in history that's one of the most famous infamous emotional mind blowing songs that was ever done . The purple, Deep purple One of the best or ever was🔥🔥🔥

So being a hobby musician, but i did listen to them in my formative years. And my takeaway from listening and playing Deep Purple songs, is their playfulness in music and live performances.

Been a Deep Purple fan since their inception, Ian's voice on this song still gives me goose bumps over a half century later, truly timeless music and its wonderful to watch young folks discovery of legends from my own youth, the 20th century was an amazing time for innovation and expression, so many great bands, thank you for posting this OP, love your reactions :)

There were so many great bands and musicians back in the day! It is great that we have these records to enjoy. It is sad though that today's young people won't know what it is like to have seen and heard these creative musicians revealed in real time, with their gritty sounding instruments and their wailling/crying voices. It was a wonderful time to be alive as it is now. Enjoyed it, The Confident Singer!

I wish they still made music like this. Pure badassery.

THE greatest scream in R&R EVER.

Beautiful tune 🎶

This Is not Simply a Song,Is much more. Pure talent of each of them,stunning voice,Epic,a true neverending Masterpiece !,🎸🎸🎸
