Parfois, le destin d’un enregistrement repose sur les plus petits des détails. Alors que Made In Japan est largement salué comme l’un des plus grands albums live de tous les temps, il est intéressant de noter qu’il aurait presque jamais existé. Les membres de Deep Purple Mark II avaient initialement peu d’intérêt à immortaliser leurs performances scéniques sur disque, pensant que les bandes analogiques ne pouvaient pas capturer l’essence de leurs concerts. Pourtant, comme l’histoire le montre, le scepticisme du groupe était injustifié. L’album, enregistré lors de trois concerts au Japon en août 1972, capture Deep Purple à l’apogée de leur puissance, mettant en valeur leur maîtrise des classiques du hard rock comme “Highway Star” et “Smoke On The Water.” Malgré les réserves initiales des membres du groupe, Made In Japan témoigne de leur génie et reste l’un des enregistrements live les plus emblématiques de l’histoire du rock.

Sometimes, the fate of a recording hinges on the smallest of factors. While Made In Japan is widely hailed as one of the greatest live albums of all time, it’s worth noting that it almost never came to be. The members of Deep Purple Mark II initially had little interest in immortalizing their stage performances on record, believing that analog tapes couldn’t capture the essence of their live shows. Yet, as history shows, the band’s skepticism was unwarranted. The album, recorded during three concerts in Japan in August 1972, captures Deep Purple at the peak of their powers, showcasing their mastery of hard rock classics like “Highway Star” and “Smoke On The Water.” Despite initial reservations from the band members, Made In Japan stands as a testament to their brilliance and remains one of the most iconic live recordings in rock history.
