This was the first ever live album/cover I've ever seen, at least this is my recollection after all those years. Back in the day, while I was living in Izmir, I saw this particular cover on display in a shop window in some back alley and the image simply burned into my consciousness and, to this very day, stayed there. It took me some time to reach and listen its sound (on vinyl only, it was way expensive for me to grab an original copy, there was no Internet and only available choice was some friend with a cassette player/recorder in reasonable quality and a copy of the record you want) and at the end I was mesmerized.
In time, I learned almost all the details about it-especially with all the information provided by Simon Robinson; check his incredible site on Deep Purple at http://www.deep-purple.net/, and with the addition of every little detail in time, it simply became my reference point, or a benchmark if you like, whenever I attempted to rate/evaluate other live rock recordings.
I wanted to create this blog simply because I wanted to share my opinion and enthusiasm on such material with other like-minded people who love music, especially live recordings. I firmly believe that this is what Internet is all about at its core: to share whatever you want to share with others and one's opinion is one of them. This is my two-cents and I'll try to keep on until something/someone stops me.
I'll come back to Made in Japan later but until we meet again:
