Deep Purple - Smoke On The Water

Yesterday watching the season one finale of excellent television series Better Call Saul (the Breaking Bad prequel) I was reminded of Deep Purple's awesome "Smoke On The Water" as it's got a prominent place in the episode. The riff that runs through most of the song is the first riff any budding guitar or bass player learns, and it's as cool today as it was when released in 1972 on the LP Machine Head. Here is a wonderful 1973 live clip for your enjoyment.
