Interesting fact I just found at. Deep-Purple.net
After the group reformed in 1984 and 1985 US tour "Smoke on the Water" was their signature must play song, it was the years biggest grossing tour and claims
Smoke on the Water to be the second most recognized song in the USA behind the National Anthem. I graduated High School in 1979
l do remember it being a well played song on the radio. But also
I Remember "Stairway to Heaven" right up there around that time
About that time 1979 Van Halen w David lee Roth is popular
and I appreciate this music now seemingly more than back in the day
