Deep Purple與Frank Zappa

3月23日在莫斯科開演唱會的Deep Purple重搖滾樂合唱團,在演出前受到俄羅斯總統麥德維德也夫邀請到他的官邸作客,跟所有的歌迷一樣,他說從前開始聽Deep Purple的歌時從沒想到有朝一日能在同一桌旁和他們相聚,Deep Purple也很客氣的回贈一套鼓棒給他(前蘇聯時代能聽搖滾樂嗎?)。 Deep Purple來自英國,組成於1960年代後期,他們的經典之作是1973年第4 名且入選搖滾樂名人堂的歌Smoke On The Water,這首歌創作的靈感因1971年Deep Purple在一家叫Montreux的賭場替Frank Zappa的場子唱開場時發生火災而產生,Frank Zappa於1965年即組過The Mothers Of Invention合唱團,在搖滾樂界以嘲諷歌曲知名,1993年已因前列腺癌去世(52歲),他們也有一首進搖滾樂名人堂的歌1967年的Brown Shoes Don’t Make It。
Smoke On The Water

Deep Purple


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, a 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 of ground


When it all was over

We had to find another place

Swiss time was running on

It seemed that we would lose the race


Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky

Smoke on the water


Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky

Smoke on the water
