KiOgon Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Especially when that bass comes in on SOTW still my best rock album in the world - ever http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mR-oI0lyck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Sorry mate, but I have to disagree. I'm a [i][b]Machine Head [/b][/i]purist, and the [i][b]Made In Japan[/b][/i] version remains a complete abomination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3below Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I seem to note that Mr Glover was using a BC 'banned' bass rather a lot. One of the greatest live albums - I also rate Free Live, \the Who Live at Leeds and Dr Feelgood Stupidity as being amongst the best. Each to their own though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickeyboro Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Playing Highway Star with an organ-augmented blues band a couple of years ago was the highlight of my musical career. And I am afraid I am with jack on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gary mac Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Happy memories of listening to this album when it was first released. This and Humble Pie, Rocking the Filmore are amongst my fave live albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonybassplayer Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Was never off my turntable back in the days ( apart from to turn it over or swap discs of course ) Never quite got in to Space Truckin quite as much as the other songs though.

dadofsix Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 That's back when I was fronting for my band. Lots of Deep Purple. Space Truckin may not have been much of a song, but damn, it was fun to sing! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midway through the number, the pick up on my Epiphone parted company with the bass, the noise it made was truly horrid, even worse than my playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JapanAxe Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 IMO the MIJ version of [i]Smoke on the Water[/i] has one of the best live guitar sounds ever committed to vinyl (or aluminium and optical-quality polycarbonate), and the entrance of the bass just racks it up a gear.

leroydiamond Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Remember "Made in Japan" cost $3000 dollars to record, no overdubs and represents this line up at their very best IMO. Easily my favourite live rock album. It sounds at its best on vinyl IMO. For whatever reason the CD version just does not do it for me.

ubit Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I never thought I would be able to say this but, I am actually a bit young to have experienced the Purple era. I started listening to rock when they became Rainbow. Obviously I've heard the albums, but I haven't listened to them for years and I tend to think of Purple by vocalist, just the same as Rainbow . My favourite was always Gillan, but I also love Whitesnake, so I suppose it's all good for me. Oh and let's not forget the God that was Ronnie James Dio!

skidder652003 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 love made in Japan! Come taste the band is very under rated IMO though, prob my favourite Purp album! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Made In Japan was one of the first rock cassettes ( ) I ever heard (a friend had it when we went on holiday) and I love it but Machine head is right up there alongside it. But I have to say, the one ! go back to again and again, even now that I am a Jazz nazi, is 'Burn', one of the best rock anthems in the canon. (Rainbow Rising remains a favourite as well, for Airey and Powell as much as the rest) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
