Have you seen the VH1 classic albums series on the making of the album? The story behind Smoke on the Water is totally true. The band had to resort to a run down hotel with a mobile unit and recording in hallways. After each take they'd have to climb out a 2nd story window and walk across the roof to get to the truck to listen to the take.
It's amazing the album came out as great as it did. I wonder how different it would have come out if the Casino hadn't burned down.
