I don't know how many of you are old enough to apreciate the significance of the album title here. "Made in Japan" back in the sixties and seventies mean't it was of poor quality much like "Made in China" translates into that these days.Of course Japan has turned that notion on it's head and have become one the respected nations when it comes to making good quality stuff. Your history lesson is now over. So yeah the album's title is a little tongue and cheek. Without question this is one of the most famous live records ever recorded. A double live album released in 1972 with some of their best tracks on it. I think one of the keys to this album's success is the performance of Ian Gillan on vocals. The guy is just a monster on here, not holding back in the least. I think this is maybe proven the most on "Child In Time" where he doesn't bale in the least on those screaming vocal melodies, but he's so strong throughout this recording. Everyone in the band is in top form though and we get a drum solo from Ian Paice on "The Mule". And check out the 20 minute version of "Space Truckin'" ! Incredible stuff. Without question this is a must for fans of Classic Rock.
