Deep Purple Photo - Ritchie Blackmore - Ian Gillian - Jon Lord - Roger Glover - Ian PaceThis is a cool photo of the band doing a TV appearance in, I believe, 1971. The one thing I always liked about the band is their dedication to using Marshall amps, etc. They have some of the best vintage Marshall pics you can find. This band helped define rock music of that era with their heavy, driving, and intense jams. Almost every song had a driving edge to it |

Smoke on the water
Words & music by Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Jon Lord and Ian Paice
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 & the Mothers were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun burned the place to the ground
Все мы вышли к Montreux на берегу Женевского Озера
Чтобы делать записи мобильно – у нас не было времени
Франк Заппа и Матери были в лучшем месте вокруг
Но некоторые глупцы с феерверками сожгли место до основания
Smoke on the water - A fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
Дым на воде - огни в небе
Дым на воде
They burned down the gambling house - It died with an awful sound
Funky & Claude was running in and out, pulling kids out of the ground
When it all was over, we had to find another place
Swiss time was running out - It seemed that we would lose the race
Они сжигали дотла игорный дом – Он сгорел с треском
Funky & Claude бежали, тянув детей по земле
Когда это все закончилось, мы должно были искать другое место
Швейцарское время исчерпано - кажется, мы сбавляем ход
Smoke on the water - A 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 an'' a few old beds, we made a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this, I know... I know we''ll never forget
Мы закруглились в Великой Гостинице - было пусто, холодно и голо
Но грузовик, катящий рок был там только вне создания нашей музыки
С несколькими красными огнями'' несколькими старыми кроватями, мы сделали место, чтобы пропотеть
Независимо от того, что мы выходим из этого, я знаю... Я знаю, что мы никогда не будем забывать
Smoke on the water - A fire in the sky

1971''s Fireball was also a smash, scoring a hit with "Strange Kind of Woman." Plans to record the follow-up at the Casino in Montreux, Switzerland, were derailed after the venue burned down during a live appearance by Frank Zappa, but the experience inspired Deep Purple''s most enduring hit, the AOR staple "Smoke on the Water." The song, featured on the multi-platinum classic Machine Head, reached the U.S. Top Five in mid-1972 and positioned Deep Purple among rock''s elite; the band consolidated its status with the 1973 studio follow-up Who Do We Think We Are and the hit "Woman From Tokyo."
