Best live album of all time in my view. Spent half my late teens listening to this.
Agreed, together with Supertramp's Paris
Fully agree. Remember in my early teens, I recorded it on a cassette tape, listening to it on my cassette player when tenting in the summer. Always getting a nostalgic twinge when I hear the Made in Japan opening of Highway Star.
Me too brother, always thought so. Definitely best DP album in my opinion.
I agree 🤘
I agree. 😊 But I spent my late childhood and teenage years listening to it. And only the first Lp.
I've been listening to Deep Purple for over 50 years, and I'm still not tired of them.
me too, but after Who do we think we are that was no more DP
I’ve been listening to them since 1973
Blackmore and Lord were outrageous together.
Love how Deep Purple could be so loose and yet so tight at the same time. That ending of Child in Time is like a runaway train and then they stop on a dime. So good.
Ian Paice, experienced live - a force. The best energy of a rock drummer I’ve ever heard. Crisp, subtle, strong. Moves the room.
And all with a basic drum kit.
The guy manages to turn decent songs into good ones, good songs into excellent ones and excellent songs in extraordinarily fantastiwastic ones.
I got to see him three times, two of them with DP, the third one in a small venue (a pub) with a tribute band named Hush. What a force of nature.
"There are moments on this album that have never been surpassed in the history of rock and roll."
Rolling Stone magazine
And that, you will experience on side two with "Smoke on the water"
And Paice’s drum solo in The Mule. Unreal.
Rolling Stone got it wrong. This whole album has never been surpassed!

@@CB-xr1egWho Live at Leeds?
@@thebigwool What about it?
Purple were such a great live band. You don't see rock bands improvising with their songs like that anymore, and even at the time they were pretty unusual in that respect. So much energy and pace, and playing on the edge. I'm so glad it was immortalised in this brilliant recording.
Yeah, Richie kept everybody on their toes to follow his kicks
The band that improvided like Deep Purple, was Cream back in the late 60s
Bought this album when it first came out in 1973 when I was only 9 years old. The best live album ever made by any band ever!!
Child In Time: one of the best guitar solos in rock history.
One of the best songs ever
Don't know how you can wait 'months' to follow this...
The rest of the album needs to be heard
Jon, Lord of the Hammond!
A bit of history:
Deep Purple started in 1968, MiJ was recorded 1972, and here today, 2024, they are still touring (and recording), they will be here in Australia a few weeks from now.
Three of the five from MiJ are still there:
* Ian Gillan - vocals
* Roger Glover - bass
* Ian Paice - drums
* Jon Lord - keyboards - retired 2002, died 2012
* Ritchie Blackmore - lead guitar - quit 1993
* Don Airey - keyboards - replaced Jon Lord in 2002 (22 years ago).
* After Blackmore quit mid tour in 1993, Joe Satriani stepped in as a ‘touring’ member for about a year.
* Steve Morse was the full time lead guitar replacement and was in the band from 1994 to 2022 (longer than Blackmore), Steve retired to look after his wife who has cancer.
* Simon McBride - lead guitar - replaced Morse in 2022
It’s now 56 years since Deep Purple started, and they’re still going strong!
Cheers,
I don't know about you but I think it's time we had a Deep Purple album with Simon McBride on guitar. From what I've seen/heard on concert videos, he could be the nearest to Ritchie Blackmore we've heard since..well, Ritchie Blackmore. I hope they're working on a new album and we get one this year.
When listening to The Mule remember that Ian Paice didn’t have two bass drums and he didn’t have two pedals to one bass drum. What he had was one very fast left foot (being a lefty).
Lefty’s aren’t handicapped
One of the greatest live albums of all time, no doubt about it.
The solo from child in time is a masterpiece. It could be analyzed over and over for a long time
And to think when the song started it didn’t exhist because Blackmore played it from the top of his head and never to be duplicated again. Brilliant.
“Strange Kind of Woman” is an excellent song and one of my favorite DP songs.
Richie's guitar work in there I think is technically his best, the way he goes up and down the fretboard is amazing, especially for the time, although IMO it doesn't beat the Child In Time solo for excitement
Followed by "Lazy" which is maybe the most underrated song on the album - and my favourite after all these years (bought it in 1973).
In 53 years, I wonder how many times I've listened to this. I used to run long distances and on long runs I'd listen to this whole album. It kept me motivated. I would imagine them performing each song as I ran.
The high A that Gillan hits still gives me chills every time I hear it, and it's been five decades now...
I am so looking forward to your reaction to Side 4, Doug!!
and in the background Glover and Paice are just chugging along doing their thing. The notes that glover hits are amazing
I am so pleased that now in my sixties, I had such great music in my youth! And Deep Purple still brings a smile to my face. Thanks Doug😊
greatest live album ever made. period.
On German radio at the time Smoke on the water was played each hour for weeks. 5 guys actually playing their instruments/voice to perfection in a „jam Session“. Every live concert was different in exhibite the same songs.
Oh the energy, the rock, the fun, the jazz, the aligning of planets happened right there. I seem to remember the sound engineer wasn’t even in the auditorium but given a back room but produced a sound engineered masterpiece. Don’t forget him.
I can barely wait for Space Truckin', side 4.
Got this album for my 8th birthday, and I grew up worshiping these guys. A decade, saw them on the Perfect Strangers tour. For me it was like seeing the Beatles.
DP might be the most underrated band in history.
Brilliant performance, my all time favourite DP album. Roger Glover absolutely stellar on the bass.
Yeah Rog gets rarely mentioned but he was (is) an absolute force.
IMO Made in Japan, along with Yessongs, are the two greatest live albums of all time. Purple at his peak of talent!
And they did'nt want to do a live album. And when they were told they were going to record, the band did'nt want it released outside Japan. But, once they heard the playback, they were happy with the sound and agreed releasing it worldwide. Blackmore did'nt want it filmed either. Does'nt that suck. That would of been awesome. Peace
It's in my opinion one of the greatest hard rock live albums of all time. The band was on fire! Almost as great as this album is "Raninbow - On Stage".
Honest music
As is often the case with these things, I'd argue that the following night in Japan (that The Mule and Lazy on the live album is taken from) is actually a better show. same goes for rainbow on Stage as well- the Germany 76 shows are better.
Highway star in this live Is absolutely the best performance ever made
This was my first Rock Moment, when my father showed me this record. I was nine and it changed my life! The beginning of "Highway Star", unforgetable!
Exact same for me. I recognized smoke in the water from some school mates playing it. This kickstarted my love for hardrock and metal!
Same for me gentlemen, I was around 10 and since then started understand what the real music is...
exactly the same for me too. I went to my dad after listening to highway star and I said: I wanna play guitar like that guy. He is a god. Ritchie changed my life. He is the one that made me pick up a guitar. The band is so underrated. they run circles around Zeppelin.
Same for me, this was one of the first albums my older brother bought when I was 10, almost 49 years ago!
My first rock moment too! 👍
Vocal duel with guitar onstrange kind of woman one of best!!
My first album. I got it for christmas 1973 I was 7 years old and I still got it and I still listen to it frequently 😊
MIJ is the best live album ever, period. I first listened to it when I was 15 and now I am 56: back then it was hard to understand how a bunch of guys onstage could be so loud and, above all, so powerful; 40+ years later it is not only that, it's the musicianship and the taste behind everything they do
I've listened to many, many live albums, many of them really good and joy to listen to. Also, I've been lucky enough to see many of my favourite bands play live, DP among them. It doesn't matter: MIJ remains unsurpassed, no other live recording comes even close. Not even other DP live albums, by the way. Some people talk about, for example, California Jam in '74, with MkIII: great gig, no doubt about it, but no match for MIJ
Thanks a bunch for your comments and insights, Doug!! We all learn to appreciate more the music we love thanks to things like this
Child in Time gets me every time with Ian's classic high A5 register. One of the highest in rock history.
He could go higher than that...for example the ending screams on the fab "Fighting man"...his highest scream is D6.
These versions blow away the studio versions!!!
Yes! Easily, so much more life and energy
Yeah never could capture that live sound of theres in the studio
This is Deep Purple, one night doesn't sound like the other, always improvising.
This is the best Rock live album ever! even in todays masters of the electric guitar time no one can recreate this kind of energy.
They shine live. I simply don't listen the studio versions.
Jon Douglas Lord of the Organ
Thanks for covering this Dr. Doug)) The keyboard solo in Highway Star per Jon Lord is based on a Bach progression. The guitar solo for Highway Star was one of the rare solos that Ritchie worked out ahead of time. As he said, he fancied putting a bit of Mozart over it.
Child In Time is my favorite Deep Purple song. You should definitely check out the Live In Stockholm 1970 version.
The musicianship in the Mark 2 Purple was astounding. Paice does not get the due and respect he deserves - a phenomenal drummer. Same for Glover. Very underrated bassist but a damn good one. He lays down solid lines for Jon and Ritchie to work off of, can play riffs note for note with Ritchie and Jon (Bloodsucker from In Rock is an example).
Made In Japan and ELP's Welcome Back are, IMO, the 2 best live albums ever.
Can't wait for more Made In Japan)) BTW, Paice has said this is his favorite Purple record. No wonder. His playing is superb throughout.
sorry just have to add. That guitar solo in Child still gives me the chills
Can't wait side 4. It's gonna blow your mind! 😁
oh boi)) for sure
THIS is the album that got me into heavy rock, around about 1977 when I first heard it.
One of the best albums ever!
Child in Time is in fact based on the It's A Beautiful Day song "Bombay Calling". It's A Beautiful Day in turn borrowed Wring That Neck which became Don and Dewey.... An exchange from which Deep Purple came out a big winner
The tracks are very different with a massively different feel. Saying "based on" is leaving out a chasm of difference to focus on a part that has a similar progression.
Doug mentions the relationship in his discussion at the end, via Ian Gillan's quotes.
"This is overwhelmingly good"
Yes!
You nailed it.
Deep Purple is just amazing, and they still tour!!
Don't forget Lazy and Space Trucking (The Mule is possibly one of the best drum solos you will ever hear).
It's coming. To me "Lazy" on Made In Japan was Deep Purple's pinnacle. Doug should appreciate Jon Lord's opening organ solo.
An absolute staple of my music listening since it came out. Ian Paice is a still-active beast on the drums. His off hand, which in his case is his right, is dancing on the snare like a good jazz player, and always serving the song with his amazing rock fills. And then there is the fantastic speed. And he's just one of the five virtuosos in the same band.
Still one of my top three live albums - the sound is incredible. I don't think Roger Glover gets enough credit, endlessly inventive and even here, funky. It is no wonder he became a top poducer after this - he was all about making everyone else sound good.
Heya
Interested in your other two live album's
Greetings from Melbourne Victoria Australia Monday April 1st, time now 04:29p.m.
Funny. Just the other day I was talking with my dad about the Machine Head album. 52 years later amd its still one of the greatest albums ever recorded
Even fireball
"Child in time" is without a doubt one of the best songs ever written. And this live version is just magic! I owned "Made in Japan" in all variants, cassette, vinyl, cd, mp4... It never gets old, incredible record
What a time to be alive. Im 62 and still remember seeing them live in Birmingham (uk) in 1972. Couldn't hear a thing for a week 😂
Dp. Made in japan.
Teach how to play the music rock with passion and desire.
One the best albums have ever made.
Two thumb up❤
I perfectly remember telling my dad as a eight year old or so “daddy I want to listen to heavy metal”. We got in the car and this started playing. My life was never the same after that day, no joking
Can't wait for you to get to Space Truckin'! Everybody, especially Jon Lord is insane on that track (legit one of the craziest performances I've ever heard)
I don't understand how anyone can have an album for over a year and not listen to it.
Still have my original vinyl of this from 1975
wore out a millions of medium enjoying this classic, Thank You, Doug-Boy,Namaste.
I love the ON-BEAT drummimg of Ian Paice. I think it's a standard for everything that came after it. I think it was even before Bonham. ALL right HOLD tigh I'm A HIghWay STARRRRRRRRRRRR
Every instruments was topnutch! 💪🏻🤗❤️🤪✌🏻
Used to be my favourite live album, then I got Live In Japan 3cd. Absolutely brilliant!
Mejor disco en vivo de Rock en toda la historia!!! ❤
Interesting Highway Star was created upon an interview when the journalist asked how they come up with songs. Ritchie grabbed an acoustic and started riffing on G with a rhythm and Ian made up words on the spot. They responded "like that." The song ended up in their set that night and ever since became a staple opening from that point on. Of course they even opened with it when I saw them just a few years ago in Bethel Woods (Woodstock site) on their Long Farewell Tour. Classic.
Best live band ever, where every musicians were a totally genius in their instruments.
Do you mean Jimmy Page, John Bonham, John Paul Jones and Robert are just a pile of crap ?
Just an example.
@@adladl4276 No, i mean Ritchie Blackmore, Jon Lord, Ian Paice, Roger Glover, Ian Gillan...question of tastes.
@@edmonddp Question of taste I agree. But best band live does not mean anything. There's no such thing as that. What about Bill Ward, Tony Iommi, Ozzy Osbourne and Geezer Butler ?
@@adladl4276 Second best live band ever
@@adladl4276 i talking about the best "live" band ever, not the best band ever. And some of the bests live albums ever were record for Deep Purple. IMO.
The album who turned me into a Deep Purple fan. Life has never been the same.
Thank you 🙏🏼
It’s a Beautiful Day’s big hit was a song called White Bird, which came out just earlier in 1969. Kind of a late-60s hippie band out of SF that got a lot of air play in the early days of FM radio.
" I could.listen to him sing all day " .
You CAN .
Glenn Hughes is still burning it down even in his 70's . What an absolute Chad !
Glen Hughes has nothing to do with Made In Japan
Yes, Glenn Hughes sounds terrific in his old(er) age. Very few, I think, have been able to keep their voice so well for so long.
@@Jimi-ld2vw Glenn sounds a lot better nowadays than he did in the seventies.
Im 64 now and this was the first LP i ever bought still have it now...greatest live Lp
My dads favourite album, glad I was able to grow up with this music. Child in Time is my favourite Deep Purple song ever.
One of the best ever live albums. It was released as recorded, without any studio overdubs. Also made more incredible by the fact Ian Gillian and Ritchie Blackmore weren't on speaking terms at the time, They wouldn't even travel in the same car or even do sound checks together. Great review, can't wait for the rest of the album.
I first saw Deep Purple Live in Perth, West Aussie in 1971 when they played at Beatty Park Aquatic Centre (the only venue suitable for touring international bands at the time) and they blew me away with their raw power. I was only 16 at the time was hooked ever since . I still have their original Vinyl Albums in my collection - such memories of this iconic band
Ian Gillan was almost literally Jesus Christ. He sang the role of JC in the original cast recording of 'Jesus Christ Superstar' [ pre stage performances ]. It was reckoned he could hit high 'A' at full voice, not falsetto.
one of the greatest live albums of all time and this song is one of the greatest live songs of all time. perfection
I'd only heard two songs by Deep Purple. I asked a friend about them, particularly their Made In Japan album. He had it and put it on. There was 3 of us in the room. My self, my 50 year old friend, and a professional bass player. They knew the album, yet we were all silent listening to it. I became a DP fan that day.
The best live opening track of all time !!!!!!!
Yes it is "Overwhelmingly Good". That's you Doug, rockin us out. Always great reactions
HS is speeding ticket music! YEAH!
This is a great analysis Doug , my favourite band of all , the impression they had on me at this time when only 12 years old was immense 😊
This album was a genius move . Machine head was a monster then soon after they brought out made in Japan. Almost the exact album. Brilliant.
Cashed in huge. But my favorite is made in Europe. Ya gotta do that one . Much love.
Jon Lord led a masterclass on how to play rock'n'roll Hammond every time he played. One of my north stars....
Great review Doug. One of my all-time favourite albums from my all time favourite band 👍 One small correction though. "Child in Time" is actually an anti-cold war/anti-nuclear song, which was much more of a concern in the UK at the time than the Vietnam war.
Made the above comment before I saw your discussion at the end, where you talk about Gillan's explanation of the lyrics - so no real need for the correction 😉
Thanks for sharing that live performance. When I was young, I went for my weekly guitar lesson with my father. Every month, he bought me one album of my choice. Deep Purple in Rock was one of those albums. At the time, I didn't appreciate the lyrics, just the music. Still, those lyrics etched themselves into who I was to become. What amazing emotive storytelling!
About time! The best live album of all time.
Made my Sunday morning! And reminded me of 1973 when we teenagers noodled it to death on a cassette recorder.
Still have the original vinyl from that year.
First band I ever saw live in Feb 1972, Deep Purple, I so look forward to Doug's reaction once he makes side 4 ;)
This album is my first musical memory. I'm born in '91, but my father played this a lot! Can't wait to listen to the rest of this with you Doug!
one of the greatest hard rock live albums, I've been listening to it since 1974 and I'm not tired of it, on the contrary
This is a stunning live album..I recommend every new band listens to it
This was my first exposer to Purple many years ago :-) Let's just say they won me over pretty quickly...
My first was deep purple in rock
I have owned that album since it came out. Love it.
I love this live album! they were my first concert in 1973... pretty much the same concert
Ian Gillian was an absolute monster back in the day. What an era for rock vocals.
Saw them at Cobo Hall in Detroit during the U.S. part of the tour. To this day still one of the loudest concerts I've ever heard. My ears rang for a week!
Listening to this today, I can still remember the feeling when I first played the album at home when it was released at the end of 1972 I was 14 years old). I get the same feeling of excitement and energy today as I did back then. For me this is one of the greatest live rock albums ever recorded, and opening of Highway Star is simply superb. They were all on top of their game and no obvious internal conflicts affecting the performance - which sadly did happen some years later (for example, Blackmore throwing water over Gillan and walking off stage in the 80s, and refusing to continue playing the rest of the gig). A sad thought that this brings to mind is how Gillan ultimately destroyed his voice with his singing style. In the 70s he was one of the best vocalists AND singers in Rock.
Whole lp is a time capsule. Great stuff. Love it .
It takes a concerted effort not to exceed the speed limit when listening to Highway Star while driving.
Wow, it's been a long while since I heard this. I used to play this (on CD) a lot when I was a teenager. Good times.
THE masterpiece live album of ALL time! 🙌🏻💜
The made in Japan versions are better than the studio originals.
Absolutely. Studio Highway Star sounds straight-up wrong to me.
Bravo!! I have listened to and loved this band for 50 plus years.
I found a used copy in my local store for ten dollars. Never heard the album but remembered hearing it was special. I look at the back and it's all their best songs easiest buy, then hearing their live version of these epic songs just blew my mind further..
Classic rock’n’roll 🤘🏼 Awesome
