Grand Funk Railroad.

I'm your captain/I'm getting closer to my home.

This I believe was always intended to be just one song.However many radio stations enjoyed the fact that long songs cost the same amount as short ones in royalties but filled in much more air time.So many bands of the time(late sixties/seventies) started to name their songs differently so as to collect more royalties.But trying to rename your songs had a negative effect.And radio stations would still favour songs that were longer for the same royalty fee.Hence the success of Pink Floyd and Dark side of the Moon(5 or 6 songs over 3 minutes long).

I'm not sure if this still applies now?

That was extremely cool...

I liked the intro with the kettledrums, but the orchestra part was extremely tedious. And I have no idea what was going on in the video with the truckloads of dudes in swimsuits.

The song was "extremely cool"...

Some of the video was,to put it lightly,a bit eccentric...

But no more eccentric than Pink Floyd's Live at Pompei film...

The beatings will continue until morale improves!!!

The real star of Deep Purple is Jon Lord, the organ player. A while back I saw this neat video where he explains how he developed the unmistakable sound:

This could even be longer. I could listen to that old man forever.
