  • A best notes in the all Rock PAM PAM PAM PAM PAM PA PAM PA PA PA PA PAM!!!!!

  • THE TRUE SPIRIT OF ROCK NEVER DIES.

  • Oh no better check my temprature i think i've caught the purpleflu.

  • the oldest version is the best!!!!

  • nice

  • hihi i am a lonely girl from the uk

  • @loveilybabi916 lonely???

    

  • I like it bang

  • I like it !

  • Damn I bet it was fucking BADASS to be there and here it live. I don't know between this and Stairway, but one of the two is the single most important song in this history of rock and roll. And the other one is second.

  • get a kick out of this lead guitar

  • great song, great performance, shit quality

  • ROCK AND ROLL!!

  • Shit on the water

  • This is great. Glenn Hughes is pretty crap though. He should have been in Poison or something.

  • Smoke on the Water is the most overrated song of all time

  • @Blothus its the materpiece of rock

  • @Blothus Even Blackmore hates this song... They have so much better masterpieces than this

  • Dear Youtube Manager,

    Would you kindly please give a chance to those who pressed "dislike" to amend as they must press it wrongly or simply hidden the "dislike" bottom.

    It is to avoid a great song of a great band to be insulted by people who never know rock and roll. Many thanks!

  • those ..31.. people ..mother fuckers think they can do better or they heard better i wonder???

  • Awesome. I've watched this 10's of times in last few weeks. Great performance.

  • Okay, I'm wrong! Not Gillan . . . .  unless he's drunk!

  • @Lil1943 No Ian Gillian had left the band at this time. This is David Coverdale ( Later formed Whitesnake ) on Vocals.

  • Okay, I'm wrong! Not Gillan . . . .

  • It's gotta be Ian Gillan - the screams, esp. at the end. Hard to get a good look at his face, though. Any thoughts?

  • @Lil1943 No Ian Gillian had left the band at this time. This is David Coverdale ( Later formed Whitesnake ) on Vocals.

  • Ritchie Blackmore " The man in Black" at his very creative best.Great performance.But nothing beats the lengedary Mk.II. Nothing.period.

  • een van mijn favoriete bands forever

  • een van mijn favoriete bands

  • Pour ceux qui sont sur l'eau et qui vont s'éclater aujourd'hui!!!!

  • i can play this on my acoustic

  • tab of the intro please...

  • Rock BABY Rockk ;)

    

  • i think glen may have stole the vocals from dave that night, just my opinion as a singer.

    wheres dave now,glen has just released a new album with black country communion, 11/09/2010

  • @naughtycolin Coverdale is still with Whitesnake

  • @naughtycolin i agree though, Glenn had the better vocal, but he is the superior vocalist imo

  • ЖЕСТЬ

  • I have always thought that Ian Paice had a really good style on the drums.

  • Blackmore Rules

  • ...da brivido!!!!!!!

  • 31 people missed the Like button. I mean, Coverdale does it so well it sounds like he was the original singer of this band.

  • Interesting that Hughes and Coverdale both get to take lead vocals. Sterling performance from a pre-syrup Blackmore. And who's that hanging around next to the drum riser at 3:00? Looks like Roger Glover!

  • EPIC

  • It's good, but with Gillian it's another thing

  • They are very fine gentlemen.

  • omg they're hot back then

  • Like always Blackmore was awesome ;) 

  • As usual, I have NO IDEA what these lyrics are.

    Could seem fitting for the oil spill, however!

  • @2c4u22

    The lyrics are about a Frank Zappa's show in Montreux (Switzerland), where a guy with a flare gun really "burned the place to the ground". The "smoke on the water" part is about the smoke over the lake Geneva.

  • for rockers,lavers,sinners and lovers......

  • I guess Glenn Hughes wanted to be the main vocalist for Deep Purple.

  • you say soulja boy- i say AC/DC

    you say rihanna - i say metallica

    you say lil wayne - i say led zeppelin

    you say lady gaga - i say Deep Purple

    you say jonas brother-i say slipknot

    you say emenem - i say iron maiden

    you say hanna montana - i scream heavy metal

    92% of teenagers have turned to hip-hop and pop, if ur part of the 8%, copy this message and past it to an other video. DONT LET THE SPIRIT OF ROCK DIE!!!

  • @DESHALMA

    with this you remind me of how rap, that started as a way of expressing the black people's frustration for the system, got owned by the media and turned into the hollow meaningless fashion that is today's hip hop. Sun Zhu said: the greatest victory is to turn your enemy into an ally, and the media did it... they turned a music that complained about the system into a music that praises it

    at least rock is not completely sold out yet

  • @DESHALMA couldnt think of your own comment

    ?

  • this is one of the best start to any song in rock richie has them licks down

  • MK3 FTW

  • Smoke on the water!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • If you can't control what your arms are doing my friend you have a series medical condition :S

  • No man you ! you don´t get it! That band's so great that it has some power over me! And if I had some SERIOUS medical condition that would be some sort of Purplecraziness!

  • I was at Cal Jam on April 6 ,1974 at 16 years old.. Cool experience... People threw some of the 44,000 bottles of water jugs handed out that hot afternoon between Deep Purple and ELP (in real Quad) bands. Rob of San Dimas

  • Aguante PURPLE , que lastima q ahora GILLAN y co. estan asesinado la leyenda desde hace 15 años......PURPLE es BLACKMORE y LORD.....y dejemosnos de pendejadas

  • why's that guy just stood there at 3:10

  • He probably had a Back-stage pass or something.

  • because he was lucky, I guess

  • hat is a bodyguard, or someone who arranges the sound I think

  • This is my favorite version of smoke on the water.

  • love the start dawg..

  • omg at the backing quitar during Lord's solo at the end 5:10 - 6:10. Favorite part 5:40 - 6:00. When Ritchie wants he can touch the sky.

  • Para un católico este Deep en Japan son la vírgen y Dios es Pink Floyd, el Padre no se sabe, ojalá llegue pronto.

    Esta religión se acepta como el vivir inmerso en el arte, escuchar la guitarra del chaval concentrado. Es puro arte. Dice Ok al de sonido sin apenas comprobar, eso es seguridad, arte. Oir el final, eso es el cielo, un teclado a punto de caer, un motero de gafas negras que alucina, unos japoneses extasiados, un concierto memorable, y un sigue porque Dios Existe.

  • Im not joking my step dads uncle was in this band b4 they got famous hes called sumithin rudinshiz

  • Comment removed

  • actualy i prefer this lineup from nowdays deep purple

    ANYWAY DEEP PURPLE ML3 FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Ya se que hace muchos años de esto, pero e scomo el descubrimiento de América, nunca se olvida.

    Alguno del grupo es evidente que es gay, ¿Y qué? El que tenga algo que decir que que haga esta música. Me importa un bledo su tendencia sexual. Esto es único, junto con Pink, Rolling y otros británicos son un regalo del siglo XX para nosotros, Gracias Deep.
