Deep Purple Mark 2 perform 'Mandrake Root' live for their Southbank TV performance on the 28th July 1970 at South Bank Queen Elizabeth Hall UK.
With a phenomenal extended improv ending giving it all the antics of a true rock band - trashing the equipment and leaving the stage in a cacophony of noise - rock n roll!
Ian Gillan spoke to Melody maker at that time "The Southbank thing was great, we got top billing above Blue Mink and the Settlers. The other groups played to back tracks, but we took all our gear and played live. Of course, as usual, the audience was made up of a lot of older people. Anyway we played "Child in Time", which is a pretty quiet one for us. It was funny - when we finished we said we were going to do a loud one, and half the audience walked out. Still, we were pleased to do it, the producer, Brian Izzard, gave us a lot of freedom and a half hour set. We didn't give a monkey about the people who walked out."
The only known video recording of "Smoke on the Water", performed by the original Mark II lineup. Filmed during a US concert in New York City at Hofstra University in Hempstead, Long Island, in colour.
Recorded in December 1971, Deep Purple's Smoke On The Water is one of the worlds greatest rock songs. Incredibly the song only became in a hit on the billboard charts when the live version from 'Made In Japan' rocketed into the charts. For a significant period, both the studio and live versions were in the US Top 10. This version is from the #1 Global Album 'Machine Head'
Deep Purple featuring Ian Gillan, Ritchie Blackmore, Jon Lord, Roger Glover & Ian Paice. The classic Mark 2 line up!
Lyrics
We all came out to Montreux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile
We didn't have much time
Frank Zappa and the Mothers
Were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
They burned down the gambling house
It died with an awful sound
Funky Claude was running in and out
Pulling kids out the ground
When it all was over
We had to find another place
But Swiss time was running out
It seemed that we would lose the race
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
We ended up at the Grand hotel
It was empty cold and bare
But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside
Making our music there
With a few red lights and a few old beds
We make a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I know we'll never forget
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
