The guy pretty much just strutted around, shouting (not singing) rapid fire, shaking his pelvis forward to the beat. Falling thru the roof was novel. There was also a gal and a guy who sang briefly, not bad.

I'm an old white guy, so I guess I just don't get it. My first concert experience was in June of 1973 at the International Amphitheater in Chicago, Deep Purple backed up by ZZ Topp.

Wanna see an incredible vocal performance? Google Deep Purple Child In Time live 1970, and see why Luciano Pavarotti called singer Ian Gillan a force of nature and Andrew Lloyd Weber chose him to sing the lead role in the studio recording of Jesus Christ Superstar.
