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 the ground
When it all was over
We had to find another place
But Swiss time was running out
It seemed that we would lose the race

Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky
Smoke on the water

We ended up at the Grand Hotel
It was empty, cold and bare
But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside
Making our music there
With a few red lights and a few old beds
We made a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I know, I know we'll never forget

Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky
Smoke on the water

Is it just me, or is the sound quality rather bad?
Cool thing about the songs that were overplayed during a period of time is, when you hear them again - it's either "hell, yeah!" or "meh, I can see why stations stopped playing this in past 10 years".

This one is HELL YEAH!

Some songs are simply great.

Interesting version. Dweezil is the son of Frank Zappa who is referenced in the song. This line up of Deep Purple was great, especially live. Smoke on the water on the live in Japan album has so much more power than the studio version imho. 



it's not version, it,s original!
