One of the best live albums of all time. Even through Jon Lord's keyboard assault, Ian Paice was killing those drums. With Ian, every song is a drum solo.
The long instrumental part is a worked-out improvisation that was used as an extension to "Mandrake Root" in the earlier days. Mandrake Root was from before Gillan and Glover replaced Simper and Evans and when played live it got this elaborate improvisation at the end. It grew over time and after "Machine Head" was released the lads thought it a good idea to add it to "Space Trucking".
A few years ago I came across an extended live version of Mandrake Root. You absolutely can see the finger prints of the song all over Space Trukin lol
I've never seen a more exciting or more enthralling live band than Deep Purple, and a large part of that was the unpredictability of the performances. The basic structure remained, but the band would be watching and listening for cues during the instrumental sections, especially watching Blackmore who was usually directing proceedings from his exclusive side of the stage. This one is more easy to appreciate with the visuals I think, as the band was performing for the crowd, not the recording.
When I was 12 and 13 I listened to the double album of Jesus Christ Superstar rather obsessively, it was great. By the time I was 15 I had become just as obsessive with the Deep Purple album Made in Japan with my absolute favorite song being Lazy. Little did I know I was actually listening to the same person, Ian Gillian! as he sings the part of Jesus on the Jesus Christ Superstar album. Lazy is still my favorite song. This particular song, Space Truckin' kind of sounds like my cats fighting which makes me a little tense. Agree with you about the drummer, he and all the band members had an intensity and brilliance that I have never seen matched.
Deep Purple recorded a live album called Deep Purple In Concert. It was recorded in 1970 and 1972. It wasn't released until 1980. It was a double album with a 22:14 version of Space Truckin'. Only other song on side 4 was a cover of Lucille
And imagine this at ear splitting volume, they were in the Guiness Book of World Records about that time for loudest Rock Band. I was a witness to Deep Purple outdoors in a large concert in the park in Hartford CT, not long after this, it was loud and powerful, you could have heard that show in New Haven down I91 ! Great band that pushed the boundaries of Rock, from the same album, try Lazy, another classic. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
Ace ! Classic , Deep Purple !!! More Please . "Child in Time " " Highway Star " "Strange Kind A Woman " " Speed King " would be a great start ! Cheers ,
The renowned Mark II lineup embarked on a tour of Japan in mid 1972. While they did not initially plan on recording a live album, they eventually agreed to release performances recorded for an exclusive Japanese live release. To the band's surprise, their label was impressed and decided to launch it worldwide. Although critical of his own performance, Gillan was impressed by the recording's quality. The album went platinum in just a couple of weeks. "Made in Japan" is widely regarded as one of the most outstanding live albums ever created and revolutionized the live album concept.
Top 10 Live albums of all time!!!!! Jon Lord pushing that Hammond through Marshall guitar amps! Blackmore working that volume knob for that cello vibe.
That cello vibe from about minute 18 to after minute 20 came from another song, Fools, on the album Fireball (1971). Fools was a masterpiece among many masterpieces but not much played live. I guess Ritchie Blackmore wasn't too fond of playing a slower tune that didn't allow him to shred his guitar. So they incorporated a small portion of Fools into this Space Truckin performance, like they did with the Mandrake Root drums.
On an electric guitar, the "cello" effect is called a volume swell. Turn the instrument to zero, pluck a string, THEN turn the volume knob up with the pinky finger. Steve Morse (former DP guitarist) is quite good at this technique too.
I always feel knackered on Paice's behalf after listening to this. Check out Strange Kind Of Woman from the DP In Concert album (two BBC concert sessions 70 & 72) for some great duelling between Gillan & Blackmore. I think they did it and captured it better than they did on MIJ.
John Lord would rock his Hammond B-3 organ and let it bump the floor of the stage, just to get more sounds out of it; so much so the thing would nearly tip over. The "Cannons" you hear from this same album in the song "Sweet Child in Time" are John Lord's B-3 being "Thumped" about right there and right there. He could imitate a Howitzer with that thing on command.
I have heard this many times because Col loves the Made in Japan album. I'd say that the studio version is more for me because it's more to the point . That said, the musicianship is beyond doubt. These guys really know how to play.
Interesting fact about the album. It was only after the record company agreed to ONLY release this Japan did Deep Purple even allow it to be made, Once it became a hit in Japan the album was released around the world without permission from the band. There was a box set of all three shows recorded to put the album together. You hear some really funny stuff, like Blackmore screwing up the intro to Smoke on the Water at one show. And in another song, a mike picks up two Japanese guys chatting away.
Hombre por fin alguien que realmente se lo toma en serio y quiere conocer a la mejor banda de hard rock de la historia en su mejor versión (Que es la de los conciertos en vivo) y en su momento álgido (Nadie en el año 72 les llegaba a la cintura a estas bestias) Made in Japan es el mejor album en vivo grabado jamás con cinco fueras de serie pero especialmente dos genios o Dioses Lord y Blackmore y el hijo de Dios Gillan. Saludos y enhorabuena por querer disfrutar de esta barbaridad
Brilliant that you 2 bothered to listen too this masterpiece of music yes long but the sheer musicianship between jon and ian is extraordinary amazing and that ian doesn't stop playing drums for all that time is incredibly so well done for your patiences.....
Yes, this is the best version. But if you're looking around check out the version from California Jam were Ritchie infamously smashed the camera and also was the reason for the fire department driving as fast as they could to arrest Purple. They didn't make since the management heard about it and arranged for the helicopter to get them right from the stage almostly😊
Hanier family, thank you for reacting to this track, I'm so happy for people to discover the music I grew up with. There isn't a bad track on this album may I suggest Lazy great duet between the Organ (Jon, RIP) and Guitar (Richie). These guy's were all masters of their respective parts of the band. BTW the Drummer Mr Ian Paice isn't called The Chief for nothing. Keep Rocking.
Dp. Made in japan teach how to play music with passion and desire. I think made in japan. One from the best albums live have ever made..salute. ❤ to you. Adore
When I play this for someone , I make sure and tell them to listen to the drummer , about three fourths the way thru , he gets quiter , otherwise , Ian Paice is rippin it up for 18 minutes ! He's gonna make your foot tired from tapping . The Made In Japan album is my favorite album of all time , I first heard this about 78 or 79 , I was like 9 years old and jammin out to this . Grew up with Deep Purple , still my favorite today !!
This is THE definitive Space Truckin' (my favorite recording by ANY artist). If I had a time machine, I'm going back to see this performance, and if you don't give me the full 20 minutes, I'll settle for the last 5.
Love Deep Purple! You've got to hear 'This Time Around / Owed to G' from the Come Taste the Band Album! The last 3-minute instrumental will blow you away! 🤩
To really understand what their concert felt like you should run this through a reflex PA system get it up over 120db and sit back about 30 feet. This is as close as you will get to their raw sound live. The volume and concussion from the subs were part of the experience.
In my opinion Deep Purple was the band of the unholy heavy trinity (Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin), that could do instumental improvisations best. Especially the instrumental part of Space Trucking is amazing.

This is one of the best 'live' albums recorded. There weren't any studio overdubs, it was put out as recorded. It's even more remarkable when you coincided Ian Gillan and Ritchie Blackmore weren't speaking to each other, they wouldn't do sound checks together or even ride in the same car.
These guys were at the top of thier game in 72,and could have easily blown Zeppelin away,but not long after this, Gillan and Glover would leave the band to be replaced by Coverdale and Hughes, and the bands sound and style changed a bit but they were still good,long as Blackmore and Lord were still there

Amazing band, amazing live album and AMAZING drummer.
Made in Japan, is a legendary album. Ian Paice on the drums did all of that on the most basic of drum kits. As you said, these were master musicians.
Spot on Col !
Ian Paice 🔥
there is no band that can reach what this band made in those years.... is simply amazing!
That album cover is a modern art masterpiece.😊
This is the classic early 70's lineup of Deep Purple 👌 ! Long Live Rock & Roll ! 🎸
BEST, BEST, BEST, BEST, BEST, BEST, BEST, BEST, BEST, BEST, Live Album, and this is the BEST, BEST,BEST, BEST,BEST, BEST, Live Song on that Album.
I prefer the Space Truckin' version from the original vinyl album. Ian Paice gets a 64-beat on the bass using one pedal.
One of the best live albums of all time. Even through Jon Lord's keyboard assault, Ian Paice was killing those drums. With Ian, every song is a drum solo.

From the same album….child in time is a must and can’t miss. One of blackmores best solo's.
We love that song.
One of the very best live albums … ever, and the best DP line up imo.
My all-time favourite album. Lazy probably the best jamming track ever.
Fave of all time - this song, this version Lazy!!!!!

One of the first albums I bought back in the seventies and still one of my favourite live albums. These gentlemen were on fire back then.
i like the way they inserted I vow to thee my country in to it and it remined me of the band YES and the band King Crimson.
Absolute masterpiece of improvisation. I was brought up listening to this so it is nice to see new people experience it.

You may want to checkout Rat Bat Blue by Deep Purple. This is a real jammer. This tract is off the Deep Purple album Who Do We Think We are 1973.
This is a good track by them, but my favourites are, "Black Night", "Stormbringer" and "Hush".
We know and love those ones too. We did Black Night and Stormbringer on the channel.
Check out 'Come Hell or High Water'!
