Mandrake Root in the middle from the old days. also Fools middle part with Ritchie using volume control to imitate the Chelo which he loved.

Ciao, in Made in Japan ci sono tre tracce che non hai ascoltato,Speed King,Black night e Lucille che è una cover di little ritchard..! Grandi Deep Purple. Buon ascolto.

Thanks for this review. I forgot how awesome this album is.. It’s been too many years in my vinyl stacks without a proper spin. And the clap your hands part is right on. A 62 year old dude dancing around in the kitchen preparing coffee. Yeah the album rocks. Those opening riffs of Space Trucking came back from the past like an eagle from the heights. Almost as ubiquitous a riff as Smoke On The Water.

There are also the encores from these shows to consider: Black Night and Speed King, I think. The band didn't necessarily think the performances on this album were their best, even from these Japanese shows, just the ones most suitable for the album. I prefer the performance of this song from the BBC In Concert recording from 1972. The filmed performance from California Jam is also worth a look, for various reasons. When Ritchie Blackmore formed Rainbow he was able to extend his guitar explorations even beyond what he was allowed here, and there are some great live performances from that band.

Yes, I agree the BBC recordings are the best but as a vinyl release Made In Japan is a classic. My cousin gave me a copy back in 77. Been rocking ever since.

In Rock, Machine Head and Burn would be worth a deep dive. Rainbow - Rising would be another from Blackmore
