Deep Purple - Live In Japan Complete (1972)FLAC
FORMAT: Lossless (Flac)
SIZE: 1,66Gb (3% Recovery)
Deep Purple’s legendary three concerts in Japan on their first visit to the far east were all professionally recorded and have been available for thirty years. The 2LP set Live In Japan, originally for the Japanese market only but gained world-wide release, is considered by some to be the best live album of any band to emerge from the seventies. Released just in time for the Christmas season, it edited together songs from all three nights. In 1993 a more complete, three compact disc version was released which devoted one disc for each show. Given the limitations of space each show is still incomplete. Two tracks, “Lazy” from the August 17th Tokyo show and “Black Night” from the August 16th Osaka tape appear on the 2002 six disc release Listen, Learn, Read On. The second track is important since it was previously unreleased.
Live In Japan Complete collects three good audience recordings and offers the most complete versions of these concerts spread over six cds. Not all of these sources offer the best sound quality, but they are all listenable.

From the backcover: In 1987 they entered the studio to record the completed instrumental versions of the songs they had written in the previous months. ALthough some of the music would be incorporated into the band's first album, much of it was never heard by the public until now. This CD also features two bonus tracks. The first is a dazzling drum solo. The second is an epic guitar solo that was recorded for "Guitar Player" magazine.

Excellent soundboard recording at Obsas Sanitarias Stadium, Buenos Aires, Argentina - April 05, 1993.
Emerson, Lake & Palmer, also known as ELP, are a sporadically active English progressive rock supergroup. They found success in the 1970s and have sold over forty million albums and headlined large stadium concerts. The band consists of Keith Emerson (keyboards), Greg Lake (bass guitar, vocals, guitar) and Carl Palmer (drums, percussion). They are one of the most popular and commercially successful progressive rock bands.
The ELP sound is dominated by the Hammond organ and Moog synthesiser of the flamboyant Emerson. The band's compositions are heavily influenced by classical music in addition to jazz and – at least in their early years – hard rock. Many of their pieces are arrangements of, or contain quotations from, classical music, and they can be said to fit into the sub-genre of symphonic rock. However, Lake ensured that their albums contained a regular stream of simple, accessible acoustic ballads, many of which received heavy radio airplay. Lake, besides providing vocals, bass guitar, electric guitar and lyrics, also produced the band's first five albums.

NOTES:
Emerson Lake and Palmer’s comeback release Black Moon was released in the summer of 1992. Close to a year of almost non-stop touring followed. Traveling included their first shows ever in South America in the latter part of March and beginning of April. For about two weeks they played in Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro and Santiago, Brazil.
The final shows were at the basketball arena Obras Sanitarias on April 4th and April 5th. Two shows were played each night and Historical At An Exhibition documents the second show on the second night in a flawless soundboard recording. The balance and presence of the music are almost perfect. The only negative is the audience is pushed very far back but nevertheless this is one of the best sounding ELP titles available.
And since it’s the final show after months of touring, the band pour a tremendous amount of energy and fun into the performance. After the opening they start the show with a ten minute fragment of “Tarkus.” The first three sections, “Eruption,” “Stones Of Years” and “Iconoclast” are played before a segue into “Knife Edge.”
Two songs from the new album, “Paper Blood” and “Black Moon” follow before the two long solo sections of the set. Keith Emerson plays a piano solo lasting several minutes. He then dedicates ”Creol Dance” to Alberto Ginastera, the Argentine composer whose work “Toccata” Emerson adapted on Brain Salad Surgery. Since they were playing in his home town it would have been interesting if ELP pulled that out, but it’s complexity means it hadn’t been played in twenty years.
Greg Lake his spotlight afterwards, starting with “From The Beginning.” He tells the story of living in Paris in 1976 while writing “C’est La Vie.”
The final hour of the show emphasizes the complete band. “Touch And Go” is a nice nod to the 1980?s Emerson Lake & Powell and is followed by a full version of “Pirates.” The show ends with the “Pictures At An Exhibition” suite featuring Carl Palmer’s drum solo.
The encore is a long piece starting with “Fanfare For The Common Man.” Emerson stands out by featuring the old fashioned Hammond organ giving it a late sixties / early seventies progressive rock sound. Leonard Bernstein’s “America” is played before the segway into “Rondo.” Emerson plays every snippet of classic and jazz tunes he can think of during the frenzy.
Overall this sounds very close to ELP at an artistic peak. While the viciousness of their performances in the early seventies isn’t duplicated, there is enough creativity to suggest this isn’t a complete nostalgia tour but a viable ELP project for the 1990s. Unfortunately they wouldn’t reach this peak again with health and attitude problems leading to horrible album in 1994 and breaking up in 1998. (Maybe, once Palmer joins Lake and Emerson on their current low-key ELP tour things would work again). The artwork is very clean. On the front is a photo from the Works tour in 1977 and on the back is a 1992 publicity photograph. For the ELP collector this is an essential title.

New release from Helter Skelter Label. This is really the best sounding version of the 1964 Hollywood Bowl concert I have ever heard.
This is specially remastered from the original source tape, and should be a real treat to your ears.

NOTES:
The 1977 Capitol LP was never a go-to disc for me. Too noisy. And this refurbished version of just the August 23rd Hollywood Bowl date still suffers from too many screams and too little monitor assistance for the fabs, but it’s still a rather unbelievable document of a rather unbelievable time. The stereo separation is pretty amazing, even if the performances themselves (and the troublesome vocal mix) leave plenty to be desired. Lennon’s deep-seated cynicism – already fully developed by mid-’64 – is still a joy to hear to this day (“The next song we’re gonna do is our latest record… I hope you still remember it”). Plus… you get to hear The Newlywed Game’s Bob Eubanks (credited with putting up the money for the show) introducing “the world’s greatest act.” These recordings have made the rounds before and, frankly, I haven’t bothered to compare them. But, since we’ve posted the others in Helter Skelter’s Back To Basics series, we’re continuing the trend. Check out the archives for Vols. 1-3 (Please Please Me, With The Beatles & A Hard Day’s Night), Vols. 4 & 5 (Beatles For Sale & Help!) and Vol. 6 (Rubber Soul). There’s more Beats in the archives.
