¿Alguna vez os habéis preguntado de qué habla el tema de Deep Purple Smoke on The Water? Este es el concierto (fantástico) de Frank Zappa & The Mothers, durante el cual un idiota (stupid with a flaregun) provocó con una bengala el incendio del Casino de Montreux al que se refiere la letra. Incluso se oye a Frank Zappa pidiendo al público que se dirija con calma hacia las salidas, obviamente al final (1:20:00). Have you ever wondered about the meaning of Deep Purples Smoke on The Water? On December 4, 1971, Montreux Casino burned down during a concert by Frank Zappa after a fan had set the venue on fire with a flare gun. A recording of the outbreak and fire announcement can be found on a Frank Zappa Bootleg album titled Swiss Cheese/Fire! The song Smoke on the Water by English rock group Deep Purple is about the incident: “ We all came out to Montreux on the Lake Geneva shoreline / To make records with a mobile - We didnt have much time / Frank Zappa & 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, fire in the sky... ” (From Wikipedia) youtu.be/9lpFeopjJhI
