[@bierce716]

Whenever I hear this song, I'm reminded of a story they told in an interview about their Japanese tour. They had not been told, before their first concert there, of one cultural difference... Japanese audiences, especially back then, paid respect to the artist by remaining silent to hear every last detail- no demonstrations during a performance that would spoil someone's appreciation of it. So there they were on stage, doing their magic to absolute silence... no shouts, no sing alongs, no lighters held high. They thought they were bombing! They poured their hearts and souls out on stage, trying to get a response, but the more effort they made the more silent the entire stadium was! As the opening song was coming to an end, they thought it was a total failure... but as the last note ended, and they stood there in silent exhaustion, THEN the audience exploded, long ovations! Lol!

[@8to5oncleveland27]

Thanks for sharing that. I had no idea!

[@derekdecker555]

Lol as a Japanese pro wrestling fan, you can still see that cultural feature to this day.

[@josephgallagher945]

Cheap Trick live at budokan was def an exception lol.

[@Halvor80]

Sometimes I wish North American crowds were more like that. I understand sing alongs, most of the time the bands encourage that. But whistling or shouting during quieter parts of songs is just annoying. I didn't pay to hear some douche yelling " OH YEAH" in the middle of a song.

[@BenLapke]

I think they may have been messing with the interviewer. Go watch The Beatles at Budokan in 1966, years before Deep Purple ever became famous or played in Japan. The audience is screaming throughout the concert.

[@jeffreyflint6286]

From a deep purple fan since 1970. Now 63 years old. You really have to appreciate the musicianship and vocals in all of their music. Recommend the song "Never Before from machine head album or Fireball from the fireball album. Keep rockin you two! Old Jeff is digging seeing you youngsters getting down. Long live rock and roll!

[@torbjrnlund903]

Fireball 👌🏼

[@jeffleighton4385]

Check out “ Nothing at All “ off one of the newer albums I think you’ll love it. They’re still rocking and putting out good music.

[@alanstrom2221]

Yes Jeff, NEVER BEFORE is a personal fave of mine too.

[@Ed9870]

Deep Purple had a real connection to their Japanese audience. I can see why.

[@sbrenner2561]

Japan is a great place to record. The audience is very polite, not rowdy.

[@sumonjamal1653]

Deep Purple had a lot to be thankful for from Japan 🤣 It was their 1972 live album 'Made in Japan' that made the band a massive commercial success worldwide, after the 'Machine head' album.

[@ChicagoBeaver]

How about 1975's "Burn?" I always thought that was my all time #1 Deep Purple album. i guess bcz I grew up with it and memorized all the lyrics and songs on guitar. "Made in Japan," I've heard many, many times. Even recently, I drive on I 5 and crank up "Highway Star," Live Made in Japan.

[@sumonjamal1653]

@@ChicagoBeaver I was talking about Japan and the record that broke Deep Purple commercially... 'In rock' & 'Fireball' did well, but 'Machine head' and 'Made in Japan' made the band superstars. 'Burn' was Deep Purple at their commercial peak in 1974 after those successes...

As someone who was stationed on Okinawa a few times back in the late 70’s & early 80’s, I trained at Camp Fuji several times and visited Tokyo often, this song always takes me back there ! Love it

Mine to I was 11 in 1972 ,, Lex looks bored to this 70s Hit jam song though

[@charliebishop5928]

One of my favorite songs

[@alekhidell]

I think the song is allegorical. Their “Made in Japan” album, recorded at the Budokan, the famous Sumo wrestling venue in Tokyo was what helped launch them into a much higher gear on the World Stage. The whole band was taken aback by the support they had so far away. I think that experience is the gist of the song. For years I thought it was a live recording because in some parts there is reverb that sounds like a concert hall. But the wizard of production, Martin Birch, who went on to produce Iron Maiden (his Purple connection is why they asked for him, I think, not 100% sure) pulled off quite a good live feel from the studio.

[@ninoorjon]

Gillan says so too 😊

[@jamestulk5111]

Only 'Lazy' and 'The Mule' were recorded in Tokyo. There was a full concert recorded there but the Second Concert in Osaka was mainly used. 'Smoke on the Water' recorded at Osaka on the previous evening.

[@alekhidell]

@@jamestulk5111 Thanks for the info. Years ago I’d have known that, but nowadays I’m experiencing a phenomenon called “Lovebites”, one of whose guitarists was influenced, to an extent, by Ritchie, because her mom and dad bought her up on a diet of Purple and Rainbow. Check them out….whether it’s your thing or not, their talent is off the charts. kzbin.info/door/90wxogt_sQrP0Os0HT-xuw

[@FloridaRocks]

Thank you!! I haven't listened to this song in quite a long while. Their live version of "Strange Kinda Woman" off the Made in Japan album features one of the longest screams in rock. Ian Gillian is/was incredible!

[@seven2464]

I was with a Japanese woman for 5 years, I still regret losing her every day. She was so incredibly beautiful inside and out.

[@kevinlundgren1169]

Just goes to show that DEEP PURPLE is the greatest !!! There will never be another , especially their first eight years , never be another !! Loved em for over 40 years !!!

[@vicprovost2561]

What a good song off what was the last album for that version of Deep Purple until Perfect Strangers, a decade later. Try that title cut, it reinvigorated their career. Enjoy! 🎶🎸🎤🎹🎵

[@djl9919]

Deep Purple's "Made in Japan" 1 of my favorite albums. They should have this track on it, lol. Rock on Brad & Lex

[@frankpentangeli7945]

Would have been nice, but they would have needed a time machine, since this track is from 1973 and Made In Japan was recorded in 1972. 😁

[@djl9919]

@@frankpentangeli7945 Indeed you are correct. enjoy your day sir

[@a.k.1740]

@@frankpentangeli7945 Thing is, "Woman from Tokyo" was recorded in July 1972, before their first Japan tour in August 1972 so theoretically Deep Purple could have played this brand new track for their future shows in Japan (and included it on their live album Made in Japan) but since this track was then unreleased and planned for their next studio album, they decided to keep it aside in order to include it on Who Do We Think We Are (which was recorded in July 1972 and October 1972 then published in January 1973).

[@frankpentangeli7945]

@@a.k.1740 Fair enough ... good point. I'm not convinced that's the reason they didn't perform it live, since they did play some songs in concert before they were released on record (Highway Star, for instance, which I read they performed the same day it was written). Having said that, I acknowledge that Woman From Tokyo was recorded before they played those concerts in Japan in 1972, so they definitely could have performed it on stage there had they wanted to.

[@a.k.1740]

@@frankpentangeli7945 I think the real reason they didn't play "Woman from Tokyo" on those dates in Japan in '72 is that Ritchie Blackmore was reluctant to play that track, just as he was also reluctant to play tracks from the album Who Do We Think We Are on their Spring '73 tour. He always said he didn't like the album just as he was never a fan of the Fireball album (or later, Stormbringer). From Who Do We Think We Are (which was fresh at the time), only "Mary Long" was played on these early 1973 dates (and not every night !). It wasn't until Deep Purple came back in '84 that the band started playing "Woman from Tokyo" live.

I'll never forget my mom coming into my room one Saturday morning in the Summer of 1974 around 10AM to get my ass outta bed, opening the blinds and curtain to let the sunshine in. I happened to have Joe Walsh's "Meadows" playing on the radio, and she said "That sounds like "Woman From Tokyo" "...I was gobsmacked, because at the time all the FM dj's said it sounded just like "Woman From Tokyo" and all she listened to at the time was AM Talk Radio....R I P, mom.

Talking about Women from Tokyo: why not do a reaction to a live Lovebites performance? Those five Japanese ladies really take heavy metal and musicianship to the next level. It's become one of my favorite pastimes listening to Lovebites and watching Lovebites reactions. And you are two of my favorite reactors! I haven't come across a bad song of theirs yet, so any song really will do. "Holy War", "Thunder Vengeance", "Set the World on Fire", "Raise Some Hell", "Break the Wall" are all good places to start. Their music videos are really well produced, but I recommend their live performances, especially "Five of a Kind - Live in Tokyo 2020", at Zepp DiverCity, and "Ride for Vengeance Tour 2021".
