Remember, kids, Auto-Tune wasn't around, yet.

How ian can sing so melow and smooth, and a split second later hit that high notes is unbelievable.  Never heard a singer that can pull it off. Total control

I lost what little respect I had for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame when it took them until 2016 to FINALLY induct DEEP PURPLE, arguably one of the FOUNDING BANDS of "heavy metal" or "hard rock." Deep Purple should have been inducted ahead of DOZENS of lesser and later coming bands.  The so-called "hall of fame" is simply disconnected from the real history and talent of rock music. I mean, there were RAP GROUPS inducted ahead of Deep Purple, and they are NOT rock bands!

I am so lucky to have grown up with Deep Purple in my life, a Legendary band ❤ 🤘

I remember laying on my bed listening to Deep Purple with my headphones on. Those were the days.🤩

I love it when I smile during a riff and then see you smile at the exact same time.

About 1977 I was in grade school and was a KISS fan. Some older guy gave me a cassette of Deep Purple MIJ. That was the end end of KISS for me.

This specific line up was, quite simply, the best hard rock band of all time.

I have always said that every member of Deep Purple is an absolute master at what they do. Every one of them!! Timeless band!!

That was an amazing night. I was there! It was for a program called Doing their Own Thing  in studio 12 at Granada television in Manchester. My dad, Johnnie Hamp was the producer of the show so I got to see quite a few of the shows, even though I was only 15. This set and, particularly this song made a huge impression on me. Sadly, the 'crowd@ did not really do the performance justice. I'm not sure what most of them made of it. It must be remembered that this sort of heavy rock and roll was a pretty new phenomenon at the time! One interesting little aside would be to point out that the really cool looking guy you occasionally see at the back of the crowd, wearing the pink T shirt is none other than my hero, at the time, George Best!  It was an amazing night. My dad is still very much alive at the age of 89 and has some great stories to tell about his life in TV.   I think he would enjoy Phil's comments.

Can we also recognize how great Roger Glover's bass playing is on this track and generally how underrated Glover is?

I was so lucky to have been born in 57 so we had some great music in the 70s. No autotune or other crap

If it wasn't enough that Gillian had the voice, he had the looks too. That bastard. Great analysis Fil. Rock

That ladies and gents is total vocal control...

Saw Gillan Deep Purple live in '71. Now fifty years ago was all done live ... thankfully.

Vocal masterclass is correct.

Ian answers a fan asking how he can sing CIT like that in a music paper from 1971:
"I have no idea."

40 years of listening to Ian Gillam sing, and it STILL gives chills when heard... An amazing talent, as are the rest of the guys playing in this video.

in this particular show --- the public was asked to be quiet as the show was recorded for the TV.    this is why they were quiet but they knew and appreciated the song.
