Great album of a great band! Awesome, all the three discs. I strongly recommend the product. The "made in Japan" album is perfect, and this one is even more.
Considered by many rock fans to be the finest live album ever recorded, Deep Purple Made in japan has been something of a benchmark and topped many a best live album pole since its release in December 1972. Originally released as a double live album with just 7 tracks taken from 3 concerts in Japan - Osaka 15+16/8 and Tokyo 17/8/72. In 1993, to mark the 20th anniversary of the original release, EMI in association with The Deep Purple Appreciation Society decided to release this remixed, remastered and expanded 3cd set, now featuring almost all of the performances from the 3 nights. The result is not surprisingly superb if you're a fan of Deep Purple Mark 2. Many see Gillan, Blackmore, Lord, Paice & Glover to be THE classic line-up and listening to these 3 shows it's easy to hear why! The track listings are pretty similar on all 3 discs, although as Purple have always thrived on improvisation, there is always enough variation and subtle difference in these performances to make each of them interesting. Several encores have also been added, with Black Night and Speed King adding considerable weight to sets already featuring such classics as Highway Star, Lazy, Child in Time, Strange Kind of Woman and Smoke on the Water (just listen as Ritchie Blackmore manages to fluff the guitar-riff twice - but was it really accidental!?) Once again superb artwork, packaging and an informative 24 page booklet make this collectible set well worth checking out - RECOMMENDED!!Read full review
Just about the ultimate live album. The band were at their blistering peak. All at the top of their game individually and collectively. Not to be missed.
Good quality brings back memories
