Deep Purple's 'Smoke on the Water' is almost ancient history by rock music standards, yet everyone knows the song, and when this band jumps on stage and plays this classic, the tune is as fresh as the day the band debuted it. Such longevity is the mark of true genius, and Deep Purple still shows it in the new millennium.

The first days, in England in 1968, didn't show what was in store for the band. The original lineup consisted of Rod Evans, vocals, Ritchie Blackmore, guitar, Jon Lord on the Hammond organ, Nicky Simper on bass and drummer Ian Paice. After a couple of singles, including the 1968 Top Ten hit 'Hush,' Ian Gillan took over the vocals, and Roger Glover replaced Simper on bass.
Once Ritchie Blackmore turned the band from Moody Blues-style classical-rock fusion to a combined attack by his guitar and Gillan's vocals, the albums and tickets started selling. Big albums included Deep Purple (1970) and Fireball (1971).
It was time to record the next album, and the band headed to Montreux, Switzerland, to start the project. A disastrous fire took out the venue where Deep Purple had planned to record, but the fire spawned the band's greatest song, 'Smoke on the Water.'
