It's strange to hear "I'm going to hear Deep Purple for the first time"
I know right!:)
Well better late than never!
Yep. That is so strange. Where did she live? :-)))
Exactly
@@whitex4652 It's more like "when did she live?" She's far too young to have come of age in the 60s/70s.
No effects, just pure voice and much, much talent
I don't know if we understood how good the music was in our youth, happy to have lived through it. Thanks Bethany for diving into this.
There was some amazing music back in the day, but don't overlook the fact that 99% of the music back then was forgettable crap too.
I appreciated the legendary rock singers and groups but never dreamed that popular music would devolve so far. I suppose if disco can happen anything is possible.
@@fnglert 99% of it was crap so you must be able to name a bunch of bands.
Which are the ones that sucked so bad?
....forgettable crap that is still better than 99% of what's out today.
UFO - lights out still holds true today
Top-five line up in all of rock history. These guys inspired a whole generation of amazing bands. Each and every one a world class musician that, on their own, could anchor a whole band. To think you could have them all on the same stage is truly amazing.
Rest in Peace, Jon Lord. You did so much for a lot of musicians.
I think the pace of this song and the quiet and cacophony are meant to simulate the dynamics of the battlefield. 5 guys dominating their chosen instrument!
deep purple are amazing because each musician is an absolute superstar explains their impecable timing and improvisation skills
Black Sabbath,Led Zeppelin,Deep Purple the holy triad of rock music🤘
I agree
Uriah Heep, Budgie, Wishbone Ash, Free, Thin Lizzy and much more.
Pink Floyd, ELP, Queen, Yes, Procol Harum, Manfred Mann's Earth Band...
Rush, ELP, Pink Floyd
Excellent reaction! Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple: Sacred Triumvirate that created Heavy Metal...But undoubtedly Black Sabbath is the main band in the context of the creation of Heavy Metal...By the way, for me, Black Sabbath, especially the 70s, is the biggest band in the history of popular music in general, with an immeasurable magnitude in terms of musical influence, mainly in relation to Rock and especially in relation to Heavy Metal...Greetings from Brazil!!!
Jon Lord............................😢He was the man.
That was a world-class band, full of world-class musicians.
The thing that blows my mind is it seems that a lot of vocal coaches and musical theatre people don't realize that Ian Gillan IS the original lead for Jesus Chris Superstar. All that gorgeous phrasing, crazy jumps, and emotional wailing was Ian in the studio presented a vocal score with "ad lib" written all over the place. Murray Head sang Judas. So good
This version is unrepeteable.I listen to them almost 40 years,and Im always enjoying to this song like a first time!!!✌🏼
Muzyka lat mojej młodości.Wspaniała. A analizy muzyki dokonuje ANIOŁ.
Hermosa melodía de una leyenda viviente DEEP PURPLE POR SIEMPRE ✌️
This is one of the all timer live recordings. Vocalist Ian Gillan, who also played the part of Jesus in the original Jesus Christ Superstar album, drummer Ian Paice, organist John Lord, guitarist Ritchie Blackmore and bassist Roger Glover, they were all amazing on this.
Also, no effects, no autotunes. Just pure musicianship.
There's a certain irony in your ending statement cause lots of people back then would've said this isn't real music anymore if they need electric instruments, loud amplifiers and loads of screaming.
Times have changed. The human voice (as heard here) has so much grit and emotion. The way they use canned voice reproduction today is destruction of art (or a lack of talent). At least we still have Chris Stapleton and some other "real vocalists" making today's music.
@@DerEchteBoldNo one would have said that in 1970. Also, there is no screaming.
@@Brian-qn7fn
Of course they did, practically everyone who wasn't into 'modern' music would've said that, it was always that way, some people actually still do nowadays.
And you really don't think people who were into any kind of more traditional music wouldn't have perceived this as screaming? Come on!
I found some quotes:
Pat Boone: “Rock and roll is the most brutal, ugly, degenerate, vicious form of expression it has been my displeasure to hear.”
Frank Sinatra: “Rock and roll smells phony and false. It is sung, played, and written for the most part by cretinous goons. And, by means of its almost imbecilic reiteration, and sly, lewd, in plain fact, dirty lyrics… it manages to be the martial music of every sideburned delinquent on the face of the earth.”
@@DerEchteBold smartass
All us oldies are privileged to have grown up absorbing this kind of music. Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Uriah Heap, Led Zeppelin, etc.
scorpions
Im forever greatful for my dad blasting all the classics during my whole childhood in the 90s, so many in my age group is missing out on the best music out there.
@@Muskif I was one of those dads. In the house & in the car (the old cassette tape deck in those days).
Led my eldest son to take up the guitar in first year of high school. Then when he left, he went on to become an audio recording engineer & stage production manager. Can play guitar, drums, bass, & keyboards.
He's in his 30's now, but he once told me that it was all because of the days rocking out in the car as a kid with his old man..
Makes my heart 'soar like a hawk'.
Jon Lord's keyboard playing is magical! And Ian Gillan's vocal performance is nothing short of perfect.
Considered that this is your first time reaction to Deep Purple, you choose their best live performance ❤
Just such a brilliant performance from everyone in the band. When i saw Bruce Dickinson on his speaking tour a couple years ago he talked about how much he loved and idolized Ian Gillan and he told a story that while he was at University, he was put in charge of the schools entertainment fund and he blew the entire years budget on getting Ian Gillan to come play their school. Totally worth it. I knew you'd love this one!
My own top.
1. Deep Purple in rock.
2. Iron Maiden Piece of mind
I wasn't aware of this detail. Thank you for sharing it!
You will never see better, more accurate playing of a hammond organ than Jon Lord gave us here. Stunning fast chords and superb fast finger runs. Outstanding. Great reaction and commentary, Bethany.
@@spazzyklutz75 Its one thing to be influenced (which is absolutely true, he was) but you still have to be able to do the business. :-) Many musicians are influenced by another. But unless you have the skills.....and Lord had the skills....nobody will remember you. He was " a useful source of tricks" for Lord....and Lord made full use of the tricks he learned.....and some.
John Medeski.
The second verse when Jon Lord comes back in the second verse with the piano and he does that flurry sequence with his fingers, that is a variation on flight of the bumblebee
@@ponytrekker8996 you've been watching Elizabeth :-)
This will NEVER get old. This music is timeless. Gooseflesh every time. Thanks for the stunning analysis...This whole era was awash with musical genius, true gems.
I'm so glad you mentioned the technical quality of this video. For it's time, whoever directed it did a brilliant job. Deep Purple deserved it.
This is the band that gave us Ronnie James Dio. Back in the early 70' the bass player Roger Glover and Ian Paice were looking out for talented bands. They were in New York city at a record company sitting in the waiting room when Ronnie's band ELF came in to see if they could get a record deal. As they waited Roger and Ian struck up a conversation with ELF. When ELF was called back to the executives office Roger and Ian went with them. The record company executive assumed they were represented by them. They got the record deal and Roger took them to Studio One in Doraville GA. to record the first ELF record and Deep Purple began to take ELF on the road as their opening act, exposing them to the world. Ritchie Blackmore a few years later would quit Deep Purple and take ELF and create the first version of Rainbow.
I didn't know all those details. Very interesting, thanks!
Well, no band is perfect
Perfect strangers is a must…👏👏👏
At that time I lived in a house full of musicians.
My roommate brought that CD home after work one day. He stopped by Peaches records and purchased quite a few CD'S from that trip. Needless to say we had a very up to date stereo system in that house with top shelf equipment. Teac, Pioneer, Cerwin Vega speakers. We got so high and played that CD.....
I'll never forget that Friday evening.
I never saw DP live but I did see rainbow on the Straight Between the Eyes tour at the Toledo Sports Arena in Toledo Ohio. My sister in law took me because I was like 15 years old. Opening acts? Believe it or not, Iron Maiden and 38 Special. In that order. We had a wonderful time at that strange bill of a concert. Toledo Ohio had some of the greatest concerts back then. They all came to the sports area home of the Toledo Goal Diggers. Always general admission.
Rush
Ratt
Ozzy
Ac DC
Van Halen
Sammy Haggar before Van Halen
Ted Nugent
Aerosmith
Name a band worth seeing and they played The Toledo Sports Arena.
Usually it was under 10 bucks.
From 1980 to 1984 it was the place to go if you lived in NW Ohio.
I don't agree. Most of their music before Perfect Strangers is of better quality as new hard rock. And it's a stronger achievement because they created the genre as they made it. Later it was easier to just repeat the essentials in new ways and refining it. The album Deep Purple In Rock was the top mark of this style of hard rock.
Deep Purple has been my favorite for over 40 years , they are so much more than just Smoke On The Water !!
The more I've listened to Deep Purple, especially this Mark 2 lineup of Gillan/Blackmore/Lord/Paice/Glover, the more I'm convinced that they played like a jazz band slumming it as a rock band. They rarely wrote full sheet music of their songs, but instead would sketch out the basic structured charts, which they'd improvise over differently each concert, relying on mutually recognized cues for when they were moving from section to section. Nothing stayed constant in Purple's music from night to night, and that was a large part of why they were so special.
Paicey's swing always gives DP their jazz feel. He's a severely underrated legend
@phred23 Exactly spot on. Ian Paice was once asked why DP play all those solos and improvisation and his answer was, " because we can." Deep Purple could do what other bands couldn't.
A very valid point.
Far and away, Deep Purple's best lineup.
This is NOT a Deep Purple original tune - it was a direct lift of Bombay Calling by It's A Beautiful Day but at half the speed. Purple just added lyrics.
You should hear his vocals on Gethsemane in the Jesus Christ Superstar album. Absolutely amazing vocals
Is that the Broadway album?
@@Dreckmal01 Yes it is. The Original Broadway Soundtrack. Ian Gillan was Jesus.
Wrong.. it’s the original first concept album. Everything else copied this from Broadway to the movie.
Beat me to it!
@@ponytrekker8996 wow! Consider my mind blown.
Deep Purple formed in 1968, “Child in Time” was recorded in early 1970 for the “In Rock” album, and here today, 2024, they are still recording and touring.
Three of the five who played on that 1970 TV studio recording are still there:
* Ian Gillan, age 78 - vocals
* Roger Glover, age 78 - bass
* Ian Paice, age 75 - drums
* Jon Lord - keyboards - retired 2002, died 2012
* Ritchie Blackmore, age 79 - lead guitar - quit 1993
* Don Airey, age 75 - keyboards - replaced Jon Lord in 2002
* After Blackmore quit mid tour in 1993, Joe Satriani stepped in as a ‘touring’ member for about a year.
* Steve Morse, age 69, was the full time lead guitar replacement and was in the band from 1994 to 2022 (longer than Blackmore), he retired to look after his wife who had cancer, she has just recently passed away.
* Simon McBride, age 45 - lead guitar - replaced Morse in 2022
It’s now 56 years since Deep Purple was formed, and YES they’re still going strong!
They’ve just released a single “Portable Door” from their upcoming 23rd studio album.
Cheers,
There were a couple more in there too. Rod Evans was the first lead singer, with Nick Simper on bass. For the Fireball album you also had Glenn Hughes and David Coverdale when Ian Gillan and Roger Glover left. Then Tommy Bolin took up lead guitar when Ritchie Blackmore left to form Rainbow and Joe Lynn Turner was lead singer on Slaves and Masters.
His breath control is AWESOME
Great reaction, Bethany! I was a teenager when Deep Purple was first popular. Like so many outstanding performers of that time period, their songs have really aged well! I love seeing the current generations discover them!
Ther wher no f***ing effects in 1970. Just pure talent ( and a little of psycho problems, maybe). Thed rest is mastership of it's finest.
Can I recommend Deep Purple - Strange Kind Of Woman, live in New York, 1973? Ian Gillan solves that perennial question as to what does a vocalist do during the guitar solo, by performing a guitar duet with Richie Blackmore - without using a guitar. Just his voice.
This is a living legend. A band which started 50+ years ago and they are still rocking in their 70s, dropping a new album this year
Particularly 3 of these guys, vocalist Ian Gillan, drummer Ian Paice and bassist Roger Glover still in the band, whereas guitarist Ritchie Blackmore has left the band in the 90s and keyboardist Jon Lord sadly passed away in 2012
Notably Blackmore formed another legendary band Rainbow with Ronnie James Dio who I believe you already reacted to
Watching you smile in appreciation is one of the reasons I really like watching your reactions.
Thank You
Same here 😊
Deep Purple was my first concert 13 years old Houston Astrodome EPIC
If you like Ian Gillan's vocals, you should listen to him on "Gethsemane" in the original double album of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Jesus Christ Superstar. Spectacular!
His version of Gethsemane is sublime genius. I grew up with the movie and Deep Purple, but the first time I heard the Broadway Cast version of Superstar, it forever changed how I saw both.
Ian Paice, left-handed drummer extraordinaire! Few played with such finesse and skill back then when progressive rock was in its infancy and when I just started learning to play. Thanks for posting.
Why is it I love the look everyone gets when Ian steps into that A5, it brings my first time I heard this right back and all I can do is just smile and grove. The content of the song lasts after the artists have done with the song and its delivery.
It makes me smile to know that you finally got to this song with Ian Gillian and early Deep Purple. I know that I haven't been the only person that made this request...hope you truly enjoyed this.
Ian Gillian was not the original lead vocalist of the band. Rod Evans was the original lead singer but was not with the band for very long. Rod Evans sang the lead on DP cover of "Hush".
I remember how stunned I was the very first time I heard that song and Ian's cries, I was 14, and my whole music world immediately changed forever. I'm 57 today, and I still listen to Deep Purple with as much respect and love that I had for them back then.
Great reaction Bethany!
There's a reason why Andrew Lloyd Webber asked Ian Gillan to sing Gethsemane in the original Jesus Christ Superstar recording and I think you beginning to discover that reason with this wonderful reaction Bethany. 🙂
Robert Plant wanted that gig and Gillan beat him out of it. He said Ian Gillian could only sing 12 bars octaves. He's not a real singer.😂 Jealousy, anyone?😂
Deep Purple just released a new single “Portable Door” from their upcoming album. It might be interesting to give that a listen and compare his voice 54 years after this performance.
Hairs on arms stand on end when Gillan does his thing. Memories of headphones and amplifier needles bouncing in my teens.
This is on of the Top 5 live performances EVER! “Take Hold of the Flame” 1984 Tokyo by Queensryche is another. “Burn” by Whitesnake live 2004 MTV concert is another.
I call them controlled chaos, and still love them!!!
A perfect rendition of a major rock classic, and I agree with you, the filming is tremendous, all the angles, really great job there too.
The crowd was instructed to remain quiet...since it was live. People wonder why they werent going insane.
Also they didn't necessarily know what kind of act they'll see, probably just came to watch a tv show production and lots of 'em might've disliked this kind of music.
The cameraman should have been instructed to not get too close to Ian Gillan.He practically smacked into him.
@@DerEchteBold There were probably a lot of strangers there, but besides them there were also friends of musicians. Among the spectators you can easily notice footballer George Best, a friend of Ian Gillan, so some of the spectators definitely knew what to expect, and besides, Child In Time had already been present in the group’s repertoire for a year.
@@oksteve6368 Ian Gillan and Ritchie Blackmore - he loves the cameras and the cameras love him. 😊
@@DerEchteBold Nonsense. They knew exactly what they came for. Do you think the famous people who were there just accidently stumbled in?
One of my top 5 songs ever. Saw them live in South Africa, I think it was 1994. Concert started with a local called Piet Botha known as THE HAMMER(RIP) followed by Uriah Heep and then Deep Purple. A memory etched in my mind forever!!
Thanks for reacting to this song. Deep Purple has always been in my top three. BTW, I like that you don't wear jewelry because that means you probably don't have tattoos either, and I love that.
Thanx for the great reaction/analysis of Deep Purple "Child In Time" Bethany!!! Keep smiling during your reactions, that's how we know you really like what see and hear.
i was lucky to see Deep Purple live a few times after Jon Lord passed away. Don Airey filled in on keys and did an amazing job. Ian Gillan still had the pipes too.
At the end of the instrumental section, Ritchie Blackmore (the guitarist) gives the cue that brings that band back on time. It's the repeated riff that Jon Lord (the organist) picks up on. When Lord plays the riff, it signals what's happening to everyone else.
Yes, when you're playing in a band, you are always looking for small markings in a song, just to know, when it comes to the next section of the song.
It's funny, because it's usually, the drummer and bass player (rhythm section) that does this, but in a guitar solo it has to be the guitarist that gives the signal he is done
@@ericjohnson2137 Just because, nobody knows when the solo's over.😅
So privileged to have grown up during this era of amazing music.
I grew up on Deep Purple in the early 70's. This video is from very early on in their heyday and apart from the brilliant musicianship I can't help but notice the audience sitting there all prim and proper. Can anyone imagine seeing a super-group today and the audience being so passive? Times have changed!
One of the first LPs from my parents that I listened to was "Deep purple in Rock" including this song. I was abt ten years old. James Brown, Hendrix etc followed 😀 ... Keep up the good work!
Always love seeing someone’s reaction to a new group. It’s like I’m also seeing it for the first time. Great video 🙌
Great choice absolutely brilliant
Greetings again from Scotland. Thanks for reacting to this. Great band (mark 2 DP) and great performance. The mark 2 version of Deep Purple were the best. Regards and respect, Howard.
You are the first one who made a comment about the audience that made sense.
Rock audiences at that time, at least in the UK where rock was invented and refined, considered it the done thing to sit and pay attention to the music. As opposed to pop fans jumping round shouting.
The audience was to asked to remain seated during the performance because it was being recorded for broadcast.. it was from a tv show that was on in the UK back in the early 70s
Very enjoyable to watch someone with so much love for music discover this legendary performance.
Thank you for this outstanding reaction, I really enjoyed it. You were very perceptive and appreciative and I learned a lot from your comments.
Excellent! Thanks so much for tackling this incredible classic!
Really enjoy your reactions and all your incredible insights. The fact that you have the most perfectly shaped lips in the history of the world is just a bonus. I’d like to recommend the Deep Purple song Burn. One of the most well written songs ever.
YEAH MY FAVORITE!
DEEP PURPLE FOREVER!!!
Your reactions remind me that though thousands of groups like these may have had humble beginnings but there is a reason so few rose to such levels. I am a music lover; always have been, you helped me develop a much deeper appreciation for, and attention to the minutiae.
Watching the joy on your face as you watch this performance for the first time put a huge smile on my face. Thank you for reviewing this classic!
Luciano Pavarotti, years ago, invited Deep Purple to an edition of "Pavarotti & Friends". He sang "Nessun dorma" together with Ian Gillan, as a duet, and at the moment of the final "C di chest" he was greatly surprised by Ian Gillan's vocal power.
czcams.com/video/ZjAWbZM8ZDg/video.htmlsi=uu-kL2JF8ZR0AwZX
He wasn't "surprised". He'd been quoted at least 2 years earlier the he considered Gillan to be one of the best singers he'd ever heard.
Is there a video recording of that performance?

@@theorc9098He called him genius and wanted to make a record with him. They were on touch...
Deep Purple Made in Japan is the best live record ever made by a rock band. Worth a listen. Strange Kind of Woman off that album would be great for a reaction video.
Wonderful analysis of such a gifted singer and even noticing how technically gifted all the band members are- You will appreciate their live album "Made In Japan"-a masterclass to live performance
There you have it. One of the best male rock vocal performances of all time.
And the rest of the band are musicians who're superior to almost everyone on their instruments.
King Crimson
@@phanispal5069 King Crimson never had a vocalist like Ian Gillan, but they were excellent musicians, like Yes.
Ridiculous - high pitching screaming isn’t art …it’s screaming
@@ninoorjon He did not have the range or dynamic vocal abilites of Gillan but John Wetton was far from mediocre vocalist. On top of being an absolute beast of a bass player Wetton had one of the most distinct warmest vocal tones ever.
@@GeriatricHippo I can’t argue with that, and I love Lake too.
"Highway Star" is the song that got me to the party.
WOW! Is the perfect description of this song!
'Space Trucking', 'Lazy' and 'Strange Kind of Woman' all so breath taking too. Cheers ✌
I'm sure someone already commented. But I'll say it anyway. The lead guitarist is Richie Blackmore. He was also the lead guitarist in the video you played a few months back.. Rainbow.... Stargazer.. which was my favorite that you have done so far!! Btw you are Beautiful!!!
With CC on it said "you've not been hit by flying leg.." I lost it
Ian Gillian in the 70s doing this without any digital assistance. EPIC
Flying lead rather?
You mentioned how good the camera work was. Bear in mind then, that the cameras were Link 110's which weighed 54kg (120lbs) with the lens. Those in turn were mounted on Vinten Pedestals that themselves weighed 80+kg and all manoeuvred completely manually.
Great reaction. This is a band with a surplus of genius and virtuosity. For this among many reasons, Ian Paice is my favorite drummer, because he holds the experimental mayhem together so well.
Excellent reaction❣️I love your input and observations-I was so mesmerized by the song I didn’t even notice the ring or the audience until you pointed it out! Thank you for this video 🥰🖤
I've seen this a billion times but wow, I definitely got goosebumps here and there throughout your reaction just watching you discover this. And I always love your input, I'm a musician myself of so many years, so I love the way that you talk and think about a lot of things. But yeah, that's something else isn't it? All of those guys were so good.❤
Check out the studio version of one of their huge hits, Highway Star, from their iconic Machine Head album in the mid-70s. It features all members of the band just going nuts in the tightest way.
Im happy you finally listened to this song!!!
To c ure Great reaction on ure face to this once in a lifetime performance captured on video is priceless to me. Ure reactions r so fascinating. Ure always spot on. The Smile u had was guine u couldn't help ureself so no apology is ever needed. Thank u!!!!
Nice reaction from this super band from the origins of hard rock and also a precursor to metal.
Thank you for doing this one😘
You got to remember when this was, there was no internet, there was no video, we never saw this unless we were at the performance! There
was barely any cable TV, we had three networks and they didn't play Long live music! When we heard this stuff it was on the radio!
This song still gives me goosebumps, greetings from Belgium.
what an outstanding band this was....beyond
This aired in a show somewhere in Germany. Somewhat strangely, the audience had been asked beforehand to remain quiet during the performance -- hence this sometimes eerie silence. Really great and differentiated reaction!
All the very best from Germany
It’s was from a tv music show called Doing Their Thing filmed in Manchester UK
Of the music reaction videos that I watch and listen to, yours is certainly at the top of the list !!!
I Greatly enjoy your reacting to the great music that I grew up with in the 60's & 70's !
Thank you !!!!!
خیلی خیلی زیبا ، مثل ایان گیلان که در جوانی شنیده بودم .
The last time I saw him he was playing flute with a mariachi band on the Mexican island of Cozumel. We were on Cruise to the Edge, a prog rock Cruise on which Focus were featured. He was walking past and just joined in with them. That's his personality in a nutshell
One of my favourite bands and this is an epic performance. They are all such fantastic musicians and the combo of that five in particular was just brilliant. (And Ian Gillan was my favourite of their vocalists by a long way)
I've said it before but I must say it again, I saw them live because I liked Black Sabbath and when Ian Gillan started to sing I was blown away the whole group is the epitome of greatness so when I heard Led Zeppelin live I preferred them in the studio a disappointment live. I saw Deep Purple a second time and they were stupendous . To this day I consider Ian Gillan to be the best Rock singer ever, as for the other two Bands I would not go to a live performance ever again. Deep Purple are Masters of their craft
@@genabourassa7962 I wish I'd seen that classic line up live but with Blackmore being Blackmore that wasn't a chance. I did see them in the mid 90s where it was 4/5 of them plus Morse. That was probably my second favourite iteration of DP and they were epic live.
@@andrewdavidson665 It was 1972 and tickets to see live performances was a mere 10. 00 so I couldn't imagine how much it would be to see them now but because of my experience I would pay the current price
How wonderful to see the reactions from you to this absolute classic! Unfortunately, it's very hard to suggest something to match it - especially live! I'm guessing one that will give us another chance to see those facial expressions would be their "Strange Kind Of Woman" live off of "Made In Japan" with a truly remarkable "call-and-response" section between the singer and the guitar! There are some live video versions of this, but they don't really match the audio capture of the MIJ one! Keep 'em Comin'!
This and "Lazy" are my faves from the Ian Gillan era. LOVE Ian!
Wonderful reaction. It was a beautiful time to be young with all the brilliant bands flourishing in a time when talent wasn't confined by the business ✨️🎶✨️
Ian Gillian was the voice of Jesus on the album Jesus Christ Superstar.
It is one of the masterpieces Deep Purple gave us... Greetings from Hungary!
Great analysis. More like this please. Older groups and performers are so much better especially live.
I was waiting for the look on your face when he kicked that 'scream' up a notch and you didn't disappoint! :)
Deep Purple have been one of the first groups, that made experiments with an orchestra, look for " Concerto for Group and Orchestra". There a different versions on YT. Ian Gillan had sung also in the Musical "Jesus Christ Superstar", worth looking and listening to. I love your interesting and well-founded reactions.
I think this is the genesis of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. The start of the "wave".
