Made in Japan

Made in Japan is a 1972 live album by Deep Purple documenting performances from their 1972 Japanese tour with the Mark II lineup. The recording captures the band's hard rock and early heavy metal sound in extended, improvisational live takes, featuring prominent organ and guitar interplay, driving rhythm work, and Ian Gillan's powerful vocals. Notable for long versions of songs such as "Highway Star", "Child in Time", and "Space Truckin'", the album highlights the band's live dynamics, extended solos, and the arena-ready sound associated with early 1970s classic rock.
