Deep Purple - Smoke On The Water (California Jam 1974)

[palle390216]

Das waren halt noch Zeiten mit ordentlicher Musik.

[ovemunk]

Davids voice REALL dont fit this number..... Really dont..... No seriously it doesn't.

[L0vehunter]

...."Filmed in front of over 400,000 people at the Ontario Speedway in California, "

.....sad, that in 21-st century we can't join and see the concerts like this ("over 400,000 people")

[jugulator0]

@L0vehunter its sad but true if you put 400k of this current gen together it would turn into one big mosh pit --gen y is, to put it bluntly ,socially retarded

[2odeil2]

at 1:09 i saw an ufo at right

[3r1k1nukmar1nus]

@2odeil2 i thinkit was fireworks idk btw i think irt was that

[vilasalazar]

I wonder how many of today's 'musicians' could pull a 400 000 crowd? the majority appear to be incapable of playing any musical instrument

[coolmoto1]

Wow I was a that concert in 74 wall to wall people it took an hour to go to the bathroom ELP blew me away with Drum set that sprouted out wings and started to fly Great times back then

[MarshallAmpMan]

is richie better than tony iommi?

[alan989100]

@MarshallAmpMan yes much better

[AceBrate]

@alan989100 In his style,yes....But you can't imagine Ritchie in Sabbath,right

They both have that sense of feeling while playing,and they are both amazing....

I consider them best ever along with Randy Rhoads...

Greetings from Serbia!!

[LRSBallistic]

@MarshallAmpMan

Coverdale (and his effect on my appreciation of Deep Purple the whole) is so diff than gillian ...that objective decision was impossible that day

Iommi (and Ozzie) kicked total butt in the previous slot

[Ihtiobaks]

Улёт!

[ArpeggioBear]

i love this long haired moody mr.bean with guitar, blackmore is the best

[guitarscreamer32]

So British it hurts, in a good way.

[acbzz93]

2:40 aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaa!!

[ArpeggioBear]

start with purple and end up playing Burn, Lazy, Highwaystar, everyday, i'm very glad that my dad introduce me to Deep Purple and not from some game or movie. he first introduce me with Child in Time

[agrain413]

@ArpeggioBear Sweet!

[gargoperro2]

I grab the guitar like Blackmore!! And every time the people says me: "Is Wrong" :D

[Goii57]

WHY DISLIKE ??? I DONT UNDERSTAND<REALLY I DONT UNDERSTAND

[goceunited]

400.000 people become one. That's priceless!

[Tenebroso92]

Ian is better!!

[assweaverproductions]

i was born in the wrong time period

[victorville74]

@CJRBFilmWorks Yeah I remember when all the jugs and trash was being trown around. And I saw a lot of bands at Swing in San Bernadino too. I was blown away by ELP ( little A might have helped that) The drummer was incredible and when they flipped that piano up in the air.... wow. That was a great day.

[CJRBFilmWorks]

It was a great show. It was 10 dollars never again to really be repeated. I was so high that day. I thought EWF was a bit oddity on bill, but they were great. I remember all the jugs being tossed and ducking for cover. ELP who I'd seen the week before at the Swing Auditorium. It was a great day of youth.

[victorville74]

@dpfee Yep... that sounds right to me. Don't know why I thought there was ten bands. I was actually pretty buzzed that day ;-) anyway..  I'm pretty sure it was only ten bucks though. I remember I couldn't find the van for hours also. It was a great day though. Some of the greatest bands around at that time.

[victorville74]

[dpfee]

[blica1]

fender strat, and marshall amps..is there any sound more beautiful in hard rock music ??

seriously, is there ???...lol !! fucking epic ! and i'm a drummer..and as for ludwig drums, and paiste cymbals,..that's another story..that's just orgasmic !!

[pralfernandes]

Assisti a esse festival pela TV num programa chamado "Rock Concert". Eu punha uma toalha na cabeça e uma vassoura na mão e ia tocando minha guitarra imaginária. hehehehehe

[victorville74]

I was there. Fun day. 10 bands for 10 bucks.

[dpfee]

@victorville74 // WRONG their were 8 BANDS & here they are in order of performance (1) RARE EARTH (2) EARTH WIND & FIRE (3) THE EAGLES (4) SEALS & CROFTS (5) BLACK OAK ARKANSAS (6) BLACK SABATH  (7) DEEP PURPLE (8) EMERSON LAKE & PALMER & the MC was Jim Ladd from KMET I too was my Friend

[zeprls]

Any questions of why Blackmore wanted out........... this is proof enough. If he could have played off the stage he would have and who could blame him. Hughes and Coverdale turned out to be great in the end but back then......... annoying. Too much ego not yet proven. We all won in the end.

[juliovac]

@zeprls i liked how Glenn Hughes made a little soul presentation at the end haha, but i'm with you on this, so much fucking ego, if anyone had to show off, It should've been blackmore or lord but not those two......

[krlsnake]

The inspiration for Slash's hair. 7:25

[peckoner]

@krlsnake slash sucks it's different , it doesn't have 1% of blackmore talent's :P

[MrTonyboy1234]

Wow great version

[lw48wp4]

Thumbs up if you would like a Mk III reunion!

[Toottycat]

Quite obviously, by todays' standards, there is nothing to match this kind of rock music, masterpieces can only be made once, and this was one such occasion. Those were times when you really had to have raw talent, genuine inspiration, and an inborn driving force to be among the best. You were not created by studio manipulators as todays' cosmetic musicians, being commercial products aimed to generate profit before talent... which is what MTV and similar 'rubbish' stations are all about.

[blica1]

@Toottycat absolutely right..1000% !!! today's hard rock standard has the validity of a sewage sludge filled pipe ! the problem is that today's rock or any other genre of music for that matter, is corporate, which makes it commercial, which leaves no room for originality , which leaves no room for true artistic integrity and musicianship !..it's all gone to hell..it all went downhill in the 90's with the inception of the new kids on the block, and the concept of the money making machine !

[Toottycat]

@blica1Yes I'm totally with you too. Like all past, great civilizations, once they reached the peak of expansion and success, they were superseded by a downfall. Similarly with rock music: look at all the great bands that etched their name in gold in the 60s, 70s, 80s - from a great musical legacy to the degenerative years of our time. The golden age of rock has been superseded by an age of soulless, musical mediocrity, where we get cosmetic puppets performing for musically uncultured morons.

[blica1]

Respond to this video... the guitar riffs to end all guitar riffs in hard rock !

[ArpeggioBear]

@Toottycat if you put todays artist in the 70's, suicide rate will got higher

[MrTurango]

2 years of guitar and i still havent learned this sad or what?

[DomValela]

EEEEEHEEEEYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!! What a rockin' band...Coverdale did a good job in his tenure with Purple. It wasn't the same, but it fit. I saw MKVIII @ Montreal a few days back and it totally blew me away like nothing else. They'l live forever, and I know..I know we'll never forget.

[rulerwithcounsel]

Glenn Hughes sounds like a strangled cat sometimes

[Radsicles]

Haha, first and only thing i've learned on guitar... rad xD

[RSSailorWhite]

@Radsicles Off, Three, Five, Off three six-five, off three five,three, off

(that's how i what i was told)

[elphillo1]

@RSSailorWhite Nope it's played with power chords

[willjooo]

@elphillo1 ...it's parallel 4ths.

[AussieDragonByte]

God I miss this music, back then music had soul, now the only place you can find it is in tecno music which is sad in a way.

[Gatorau]

@AussieDragonByte

I was thinking exactly the same thing as i listened to this. It was all about the music, all about the passion and screw the marketing.

[FeeltheMetal65]

the invention of heavy metal is in this vid in some bits

[FeeltheMetal65]

This is real music :D

[WilliamLaSalle]

Deep Purple

[immerderraine]

Burned DOWNNNN,BURNED DOWNNNNNNN!!!!

[Caljamscott]

Can you hear the Wereo out thereo? I told you this Wereo thing eats Classic Rock alive.

Prepare for the Coming.

[AnToZ1213]

Men, i love deep purple, specially MKII and its good to see that the others singers say THEY ALL CAME OUT TO MONTREUX, they respect Ian

[Caljamscott]

I can tell you right now you're going to notice a dramatic difference in the way the SOUND is presented, particularly on Jon's organs. I have life-altering California Jam tapes here. Should I start off with SOTW?

[Caljamscott]

I plan to flood Youtube with the HIGHEST audio and video to date of the California Jam...the much storied California Jam Wereo. I'm looking for worldwide headlines with it. I already scored the biggest write-up to date with it. Yes it is this Strong & Powerful to eliminate classic rock 'n roll altogether. Lifshine hast spoken. Lifshine shall prove.

[pavel3691]

Moc dekuju za tento kousek,takhle jsem je neznal.

[Caljamscott]

Great job! I can see the colors of "the Rainbow" vividly. And thank god it doesn't have that 'hideous' logo on it. This is the highest quality videos to date of the massive California Jam. Thanks again! Btw if you want to post your thoughts FREELY about the Jam you can post them at alt.music.california-jam!

[Caljamscott]

I did the sound for California Jam. It's nothing like the videos.

[Qwazier3]

@Caljamscott I hear what you mean. My CD of their performance DOES NOT sound this good. But this film footage is excellent though.

[Caljamscott]

@Qwazier3 have no fret. I fully intend to return to Youtube with "the Wereo" and blast rock 'n roll out of the water with it. Yes it is that strong, powerful and storied.

[dmxco]

probably best live version of the song (with D.C. and stunning backing vocals of Glenn), thanks for the upload!

[lilrolter]

WOW !!!! Quelle vidéo géniale !! C'est fantastique *****

BigMama §;-))

[scootosan]

Glenn Hughes brought a great dimension to DP

[Thevideo600]

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ! EL RIFF MAS FAMOSO DEL MUNDO !
