  • es mejor esta canción que el reggeaton

  • Grandiosa banda Britanica que tuvo su apogeo en los 70's.

  • i know how to play whole song on gutair

  • hes fag

  • First song every body learns on guitar

  • @BroncosFan1488 its still an amazing song, and my first song was 7 nation army. Even if beginners learn the main riff, its years till they even think of learning the incredible solo

  • ritchie blackmore is so fucking good....

    i can count so many few guitarists that would create a riff song that anyone can learn how to play in about 5 seconds and still make this riff so epic... thank you mr. blackmore

  • hihi I am a sesy latin girl

  • SUCKS WITH OUT RICHIE " THE OTHER GUYS CRAPPY !! AND GAY !!!

  • @frankiev1231 you dont know what are you talking about...

  • @frankiev1231 the other guy is named tommy bolin...He's now deceased. He was a great guitar player. He was joe walsh's replacement in the james gang..

  • One of the only two Deep Purple songs I like. Don't like this version though. Thank Satan band members don't dance like that anymore. The 70's were a funny time, I wish I was old enough to enjoy just how fucked up everyone was. We need to bring back quaaludes.

  • This is terrible!!

  • @scouse2606 Then you dont know music!!

  • @kieranlarking667 It's a Deep Purple Mark II song played rough and too fast....cringe worthy, I also co run a record label, but that's beside the point...the point is this is not the way it was originally done and sounds worse for it...FACT!

  • @scouse2606 Fuck you.

  • @Fluvance Sorry did I hurt your feelings? You'll get over it, it was 36 years ago mate. Deep Purple Mark II...that's the best version's fact!

  • @scouse2606 Noobs....always going with the new stuff...

  • @Fluvance What new stuff? This is a bad version of a classic that was written by Deep Purple Mark II end of

  • Comment removed

  • ha like romantic nights, candles red roses

  • i saw 5 times here in brasil and all time was a fucking great show

  • arreeee.... chingao

  • hair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Gotta love the Coverdale years of Purple.

  • hmz i will make you doing things that you never thought that you will do

  • The intro is one of the easiest pieces of guitar music to play at home!

    I do it all the time when I'm bored.

  • I saw them in 74 and 75,76? But it was MKIII and MKIV, both were awesome,no one rocked like Purple. But this lineup with Hughes and Bolin, they FN rocked the place. Wild on stage. Great. Remember it like yesterday. Paid $7. and $7.50 for 2nd concert! God what a great time man. DP was a wild ass band on stage,they played one hell of a show.

  • Bolin work in Purple > Blackmore word in Purple 

  • hihi i need a man

  • youtube.com/watch?v=OFKNqashaz­s smoke on the water 2011

  • muss jetzt schlafen, aber ein Song noch von Ossy

    Paranoid

  • This song belong GILLAN voice only and Richi's gitar,sorry David... not here

  • Not Deep Purple without Blackmore & Gillan. Blackmore is one of the best there ever was...and Ian had a special sounding voice & feel that is unmistakable. David C. has a smoother, more polished voice. (like Robert Plant) ..but he's not the classic DP sound. Listen to "The Book of Taliesyn" (if you can find a copy) and you'll hear the group in it's raw beginings.

  • NOT DEEP PURPLE WITHOUT BLACKMORE !!!

  • ola meu nome é paty.quando começar a ler essa mensagem não pare.a 5 anos eu morri atropelada.pois uma garota que dizia ser minha melhor amiga me empurrou na frente de um carro.envie essa mensagem a 10 musicas,ou as 2:00 da manha dessa noite eu vou aparecer no teu quarto e te matarei,não é brincadeira,acredite!!!

  • David Coversong!

  • Gillan

  • This is not Deep Purple. Full stop.

  • my life... deep purple..

  • Saw the show on the "Come taste the Band Tour...Loved the original lineup,,,The classic,,,Became a big Bolin (RIP) fan after seeing the show...I was already a Hughes fan from his Trapeze days...Great show in Shreveport La. with these guys!!!

  • Sorry, this is NOT, i repeat, better than Blackmore and Gillian. Actually, this sucks. Sounds like a cover band. Coverdale sucks here. The backround vocals are awful.

  • @jrock2264 according to you.. to me, Coverdale is great here!

  • rock lives with no death to its name

  • Favorite version of this band. Hands down. Tommy Bolin is masterful on this song. Coverdale puts alot more energy into the song than Ian Gillan ever did.

  • The grestest band group...forever........

  • @MegaBob77777

    and you were in somalia in the 90's also?

    whats your age?

  • Aren't they playing it a bit fast?.

  • great!!!!

    

  • what on hell are these 2oo guys who don't like this music -

    Deep Purple wasn't a boygroup..........

  • who the fuck is Justin Bieber ... somebody tell me

  • FUCK BIEBER.... THIS IS MUSIC!

  • @animaln0cturn0 That`s right..

  • @animaln0cturn0 how can you compare this with justin bieber? -_- Of course this is better!

  • @animaln0cturn0 What's bieber

  • Cover: youtube.com/watch?v=D-NjGinQdO­A

  • The only song Aaron can play well-

  • Jon Lord rockin' the B3 Hammond! Get well soon, Jon.

  • Band is great . . . just not the singer!

  • No, No, No! (And NOT the song lol.) They just can't do it like Gillan - don't have the voice for it. This sounds sick (sorry). And definitely don't even try to imitate Ian's scream. Sounds pathetic here. So glad DP finally "saw the light" and got Gillan back - at least for the second time lol.

  • I saw these guys live in 75,and it was wild. People can say this or that, etc, but this line up was one crazy and wild fucking show onstage. They were awesome! Ive been to 100's concerts,but these guys kicked everyones ass out the door. It was one big party. Great great time, and it cost me $7.25 for the ticket! And that was Floor!

  • @MegaBob77777 MY mistake, it was '76 when I saw these guys. I had just come home on leave, it was the wintertime. I cant remember the month??? I just wana be accurate here. Yup 1976, Jesus, 35 yrs??? Where the hell did it go?

  • Hey Rockers,

    If you scroll through the comments then please pay attention to this:

    We're a group of 16 year olds, who are trying to make rock survive.

    We aren't here to sponsore ourselves commercially. All of our work so far has ONLY been used for charity,and there has been absolutely no profit for us, if not for the joy of playing music. We have released our first piece,called "Reach Out Africa",and dedicate it to the suffering in Africa but also to the old Rock.

    Come help us make rock return

  • the 70s were awesome!

  • this is why justin beiber, hannah montana, and all the other little wannabes out there SUCK!

  • Coverdale!1

  • Ian Paice is super on the drums

  • this song sounds familiar acctually

  • @led96zeppelin maybe our generation brings back good music, deal?

  • R.I.P Tommy Bolin

  • Reminds me why i don't listen after mkII.

  • im playin this song for marching band:)

  • How sad... Today's "musicians" have HD video and digital audio to record their crap. What a shame that stuff wasn't available back in the day. Thanks for posting.

  • @PistolPackingPatriot It makes it all the more awesome, though!!

  • the bass is sooo trashy, sounds awesome!!!

  • Im an old timer,LOL, I saw both MKII & IV,BOTH were awesome. IMO, this lineup was better.People can say what they want about Bolin,but he put on a way better show than Ritchie.Back then we went to concerts for the party,the music, the high. We didnt give a fuck what they wore,or who had better cars and shit. It was a great,great time,before AIDS,and all the righteous shit. I was stoned outa my gord,and I loved it.Deep P was the most asskickin band there ever was live in concert.

  • hmmm well I think guys that the bands today (not all) but some can play really well. BUT on the other side no bands nowadays come even close to this epic stuf like this. Deep Purple knew how to give REALLY good concerts. They know there stuff.

  • This is in my personal top 10 list of "Songs I wish I had thought of first." Truly superb.

  • Very cool guitar playing by Tommy Bolin. The LongBeach, CA gig was much better though . The interaction between Bolin and Paice on this song is TOPS. Great take and energy. You can see the crowd really getting into it.

  • wow amazing!!! the rock organ is kick ass here!!

  • Jon Lord is doubling all of Blackmores intro and all of the guitar parts. Thats why Bolin has his back to the audience at the beginning. No offense to Bolin , but he wasnt half the guitarist that Blackmore was. Im 50---and grew up with Purple, I thought they shouldve quit when blackmore left.

  • old rock n roll never dies

  • Why Tommy has Fender at the beginning and Gibson at the end??? Cut???

  • @dasvadder12 hax

  • @thmoordman

    hax?

  • 192 people listening Justin Bieber

  • The riff at the beginning has got to be the most intricate riff ever written. I could NEVER play it. ;)

  • @Metalhead1365 its like the easiest riff to play.....i learned it when i was 11

  • @GunsNDio No shit. It was a joke.

  • @Metalhead1365 lul just makin sure

  • @GunsNDio yes yes

    and can you play the solo ?

  • @RubenVW95 not a big purple fan ive never even bothered to try lol.

  • @RubenVW95 my son is self taught he can play this on his guitar

  • @1789shirl that's good

    but i hate that people always say this is the easiest song to play the riff is easy but is there a better guitar riff ? and how many people can improvise a solo like blackmore ? everyone should have respect for this riff ! :)

  • @RubenVW95 santana did it so much bettter, people still cying about it,

  • @1789shirl Yeah, and this one´s created in just minutes in a hotel room ......still hasn´t created a riff like this in 35 years :D

    

  • @alexxxxxx you have got to be the biggest waste of a human life I have ever heard of in my life you are such a fucking tool words cannot describe I bet you suck your dads dick while your mother fucks you with a strap on go to hell you freak of nature

  • hey jaspi96, I spose you are that camp yuou that michael jackson done this...fool boy

  • This is one Rock Group that had the balls to chalenge the old mentality back in the 60/70's with their music revolution, one of my favoriets!!!

  • first song I learned on guitar...Thx Kevin!!!

  • Great interaction between Paice and Bolin on this song. Coverdale does some great lead vocals as well. 2 thumbs up .

  • Coveralde is much better than Gillan...

  • wow!! It is my favourite song!!!!!!!!!

  • Anybody know why Coverdale skips an entire verse of the song and goes back to the first verse? Don't get me wrong. I like Mark iv, it's a shame they could not have done more material. other than CTTB.

    SMOKE ON THE WATER - Official Rock Aid Armenia Promo Video

  • ok i kno wat they mean but r they tryen to make us smoke & on the the water lol jk but i love this song

  • fucking classic..

  • @Deathbytrampoline I was 14 when I started listening to rock, and I haven't stopped.

    Of course, I still listen to other genres, but Rock is my favorite.

  • @Deathbytrampoline I'm 25 and I love Deep Purple...however, now (2011) the music is in the end...

  • @Deathbytrampoline im 16 and love this shit, shut up noob!

  • @Deathbytrampoline I'm 15, and I actually love this stuff, fuck you

  • @led96zeppelin it's great that younger people are listening to the real stuff. i grew up listening to real music. i appreciate the younger people like it

  • @Deathbytrampoline im 21 i love rock thumbs up to smoke on the water

  • Plant rules, guys...

  • Ian Gillian was a MUCH better vocalist. Great range and you could understand every word he sang.

  • look kids when giants walked the earth

  • Why is the song a semitone higher?

  • david coverdale was their best vocalist IMO :)

  • Fkn good shit...

  • Sorry guys this isnt quality purple. Personaly i find this very sad Musically and spiritualy as Tommy dies after this OD on drugs. Tommy is out of his nut on Morphine and can only play major chords, so they changed the tuning of his guitar. After this gig John and Ian decide the bands over and this band is over.

  • I must say this is a tight performance!

  • Man, Bolin sucks at playing this.

  • Comment removed

  • @alexxxxxx douche

  • MUZICA ANILOR 70 FORTE DEEP PURPLLE

  • Old school song..classic rifs but so Great Sound..i did cover of this song if you have time check it out..watch?v=PBG6Ab4fdUQ

  • So basically, to have superior taste in music is to have listened to the same thing all your friends did - typical baby boomer logic. Love your Bieber / rap / Gaga / whatever, kids. And when you're a grandparent, hopefully you won't be telling new kids to blow their brains out.

  • @ezekialwheel well, an enormous amount of people would disagree with you..

  • @ezekialwheel that's why coverdale was recently voted by music journalists + iommi and others to be the fourth greatest vocalist ever in rock.. ozzy was not even top 10. and I tell you why, ozzy is a great singer but he can basically only sing in one way all the time. DP original singer was not the one who sang on machine head, educate yourself!! And regarding BS sucking without ozzy, ever heard of DIO ? GILLAN ? HUGHES (Who is in this video) and so on.. BS had many great vocalists. BS is imommi

  • some stupid with a flare gun helped to make this song....

  • I would give everything to live up to those years and actually see a real rock n roll concert!!! damn

  • 100 Greatest Rock Guitar Riffs (Live Videos) - /watch?v=rHQqMS-2gHM

  • @ezekialwheel No.. Fuck you!

  • When they rock,They ROCK! When they roll,they ROLL !These guys kicked ass,and didn't even need the names!

  • please someone take this lady gaga off she sucks

  • Tommy was too funky for a rock band...

  • Deep Purple isn't the same without Ritchie.

  • Where is the 1080?

  • ha coverdale was spinning the mic stand off his leg back then ahahah

  • This sooooooooooooooo fucking bad quality

  • @techisepic this was in 1975 they didnt have HD cameras back then

  • This is soooooooooooo fucking bad quality

  • This is soooooooooooo fucking bad quality

  • Fav version of this song. Bolin and Little Ian have great chemistry .

  • Great version of a "Classic".........

  • Fav version of the band!! I like the differences that the band has brought to the world over the years. Come Taste the Band will always be a classic DeeP Purple sound.

  • This crappy deep purple lineup should be banned from public viewing. No Blackmore, no DP, end of story

  • БОЛИН ДЕБИЛ! BLACKMORE THE BEST!

  • One of the absolutely worst guitar solos ever. You can tell that he thinks he's really nailing it by the way he does that feminine strut stuff but the truth is.... this performance should be used to scare guitar players away from the effects of drugs on their playing. A very low point for Deep Purple. It was a great band when Blackmore was playing.....

  • @chuckking2 his arm was paralysed.. I dont know why so called "DP fans" doesnt seem to know this. They really should educate themselves.. There are lots of good live versions with Bolin, lots of bad versions as well.

    But the "live in miami" (here on youtube) and extended versions (here on youtube) shows how good Bolin could be when he had an "on" night.. Dont judge his playing by his worst concert ever

    (On those concerts I mentioned DC didnt sing as great but thats a whole different matter;D)

  • @leppardsnake I was who uploaded the extended versions and half of the songs came from this concert, the another half is from Long Beach 76.

  • @shotguy1 oh, I thought they were all from long beach. anyways they were great.

  • smoke on the water makes young and old rock.the only one.really the best song to dig.
