Ian Paice’s drumming is so good on this. This really was a supergroup at its prime.

This just shows what Ritchie was capable of doing. He plays a nice melody, then a little ditty, then he unleashes a mean, nasty dirty riff. I don't know any other guitarist who does that.

I was a junior in high school when this album was released and it was phenomenal. The late, great Jon Lord on the Hammond B-3 organ.....the legendary Ritchie Blackmore on guitar.....Ian Gillan with his phenomenal vocals, years ahead of his time.......Ian Paice on drums......Roger Glover on bass. Deep Purple was one of the greatest live rock acts in history.

[@sammybeck7794]

Damn, the 70s was sure a good time for Rock. It will never ever ever ever be duplicated, never

[@AlbertEinsteinSpock]

Rolling Stone magazine once said "There are moments on this album that have never been surpassed in the history of rock and roll." Jon Lord on the Hammond organ and synthesizer on this tune. Mostly an instrumental, until Ian Gillan eventually comes in on the vocals/harmonica. Ritchie Blackmore on lead guitar, Roger Glover on bass, Ian Paice on drums.

[@someoneelse101]

I think it was a ring modulator and not a synth

[@ШакировМихаил]

Hi guys. I'm from Russia. Deep Purple fan. I do not speak English. Through the translator I read your comments. Thanks for the great reviews about your favorite band. Long live rock-n-roll!

[@ronnienose8608]

Thank you for this. Deep Purple are my favourite band of all time, even got to meet a couple of them (nice guys), such musicianship, and they could improvise with the best of them. The keyboard player, Jon Lord, was a hugely talented musician who also wrote classical music, he passed away in 2012, such a great loss. Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath represent the most influential trinity of hard rock; love all three but I just connected with Purple that bit more, and 'Made In Japan' is probably THE best live album of all time, no overdubs just a band at the top of their game. Try 'Strange Kind Of Woman' (some phenomenal vocal/guitar duet in that) and 'Highway Star' form 'Made In Japan.' The band sold in excess of 150 million albums but aren't talked about as much as Zeppelin, but I think they easily their equal. Thank you again, all the best from the UK.

[@collinnicholasns]

I feel that a big part of why they are overlooked is because most people hear smoke on the water and although it is a good song, it's way overplayed and kind of simple and not nearly as impactful as songs like this and others, which makes the average listener think that they are a simple band. They however are definitely not that.

[@rosariosalvi3302]

For me DP is way better than Zep.

[@jjr007]

This song has everything a perfect concert song should have, including audience participation. Made in Japan is my favorite album by them, and Lazy my favorite song from it.

[@PK1971PK]

Same here.

[@Snipes-76]

For me it’s Highway Star. But Lazy is a incredibly close second.

[@frankt...]

They played better live than studio versions of their songs. Each member playing tight and right on cue not overplaying the other band members. Perfection!

[@jonathansmith3742]

This is what I was listening to as a teenager. Absolutely groovin. Lord, Blackmore.

[@tekshield]

I saw them in concert at Winterland in San Francisco, around 1971. By far the loudest concert I have ever attended. They put on a really great show as you can tell from this piece. My ears hurt for about 4 hours after the concert :). This song takes you on a journey and Japan was never the same afterwards!

[@patrickmccutcheon8860]

Very cool. In the early 70s Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and Zeppelin were the bands ruling the universe. I own a lot of Deep Purple albums from almost all of their lineups. They really stand out as one of the greatest bands I think.

[@Veggamattic]

Didn't you forget a certain pink band?

[@hrdcoremetalchik]

@@Veggamattic true so true

[@rkb2092]

That version is one of the greatest jams in music history. Everyone is in top creative form. Not one thing is out of place and all instrumentals are improvised. Amazing what they could do at a young age. What a band, what an album!

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

A bit of background. A lot of bands in the late 60s, particularly in Britain, were getting heavily into listening to blues and mixing it with rock. In the early 70s that sound got louder and more technical, and suddenly, heavy metal was born from it. In bands like Deep Purple you can hear the beginnings of the sound that would turn from blues to metal. You're listening to the birth of an entire genre of music.

[@troyalcorn1184]

I think Lord was an equal to Blackmore and that is why they fit each other.

[@cbilky2914]

The guitar solos in this are amazing!!!definitely about taking it easy, relaxing on a sunny or rainy morning for sure. What I love is the rhythm, I mean the bass, the drums and above all the guitar riffs couldn't be any better. Love this song. It just puts me in a rockin' mood.

[@joer1678]

A rare moment in time when a band had some of the best musical talents throughout the lineup. No weak spot..

[@bobkessler937]

One of my favorite albums, and one of the best live albums ever. The opening sounds were created by a distorted Hammond organ with a flanger. (Yes, I've played this song too.) As I've mentioned in other comments, back in those days songs were almost excuses for extended jams. I'll echo Natalia, react to "Sweet Child In Time" off of the same album.

[@AnthonyMinsky]

Bob Kessler played this album over and over when I was a teenager

[@mstewart109]

Great band. I agree ' " sweet child of mine" or "smoke.on the water "are must listens. One thing I remember is Deep.Purple didn't have short songs. Lol

I received this live double-album, Made In Japan, from a girlfriend for my 14th birthday and I have had it on CD's since the early 80's. The entire thing is a musical masterpiece. Great versions of Highway Star and Smoke On the Water. I love it when younger people enjoy the music I grew up with.

[@christineparmley2096]

AHHHH Deep Purple!!! In my opinion THE defining prog rock, pop rock, discovered blues, turned metal band. Made In Japan a defining vinyl of DP MK 11 for everyone's collection. Whist the solos are outstanding, the constant driving force of Roger Glover on bass and Ian Paice on drums keeps the song cohesive adding to Jon's (RIP) eclectic Hammond work and Ritchie's shredding. And Ian Gillan on harp and vocals. The entire album is one of a kind . And to think, DP after 50 years, are still together, touring and as per grapevine another album on the way!!!

[@sammybeck7794]

Jon Lord really tears it up at the intro

it sucks that they didn't film this concert. they didn't even want to record it, but only on one condition, it wasn't to be sold outside Japan. after they listened to it, they realized it was pretty good. and it's all live, with no overdubbing. thanks man. good reaction. Peace

[@michaelgentiluomo5385]

Ritchie Blackmore was the reason I went out and bought a maple stratocaster. Made in Japan is one of the best live albums ever! Especially the lead guitar on Highway Star. It's almost a national law, if you own a guitar, you have to play Smoke on the water!

The etymon of Psychedelic Rock. Great music to put on the headphones, get baked and just zone out to. I was about 15 when I discovered them back in 1977 . Music of my past.

Perfect Strangers....later Deep Purple but cool song....and of course Highway Star... .

[@johnmeggers5059]

Great musicians can play almost any style and make it sound good. Somewhere out there (I'm sure it's probably on KZbin) is a video of Deep Purple at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland doing Smoke On The Water, but the intro is VERY jazzy, and really pretty amazing. You can't really tell what they're starting until they get to the famous SOTW riff. This song (Lazy) is probably my favorite Deep Purple song, and personally I prefer the studio version, but all the little embellishments in this version are entertaining and typical of how Deep Purple liked to mix things up in their live shows.

[@johnmeggers5059]

Found it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppCccp15hJqJbKM, and the SOTW intro starts at 1:07:40.

I grew up in the best time for music, and honestly, the greatest time to be a young adult.

My dad died young, and by the time I was a teen, I mowed yards, with my mom's push mower, for money to go to the skating rink, on Saturday night. I never even owned a house phone, till I was in my mid 20's. I got my first black and white, 19" TV when I was probably 19 or 20 years old. We stuck an antenna up, and got three channels! And when we finally got air conditioning, we were in heaven! Now, I sit in the air conditioning, looking at my computer, and I am LAZY! I don't want no money, I don't want no bread! lol

We had some of the best rock music ever in the 70's and early 80's - but then thats just my opinion as its what I grew up on.
