Live In Japan is a live album by Deep Purple.
Made In Japan is considered to be one of the all-time classic live albums by any hard rock or heavy metal group.
So what could be better? How about recordings of all three concerts played in Japan at the Festival Hall, Osaka on the 15 and 16 August 1972 and at the Budokan in Tokyo on the 17 August 1972.
Instead of one terrific version of Highway Stars, try three…
Live In Denmark 1972 is a live album by Deep Purple.
It was recorded 1 March 1972 in Copenhagen in Denmark and was finally released in 2007.
Space Ritual Alive is the first live album released by heavy space rock group Hawkwind. It was recorded in Liverpool and London in December 1972 on the tour to promote the Doremi Fasol Latido album.
Hawkwind had a hit single earlier in the year with Silver Machine. It’s not on this live album but I thought I’d post a video of the group performing it in 1972 to help get you in the mood.
How The West Was Won is a live album by Led Zeppelin from gigs in June 1972 at the LA Forum and Long Beach Arena in the USA.
The world waited for a long time for a Led Zeppelin live album and when it did appear, The Song Remains The Same received a disappointing reception although it’s been improved with the extended reissue.
How The West Was Won was released in 2003 and was immediately acclaimed as the real sound of Led Zeppelin live.
Made In Japan is one of the best and most famous hard rock live albums that captured mark 2 Deep Purple at their peak, promoting the outstanding Machine Head album.
Purple have gone on to release plenty of live albums, some that date before this 1972 concert and some after but this is the one to hear first.
Just the look of the cover makes me quiver with excitement. I loved this as a teenager and have continued to love it for over thirty years.
