A good live album but so much excess...not as succinct as Live at Leeds or Get Your Ya Ya's Out

They were close to being progressive in other aspects such as their training and background. Ian Gillian was chosen for the vocal parts on Jesus Christ Superstar. He had a background in opera vocal techniques which is relevant on the album. Ritchie Blackmore studied classical guitar for a while in his youth. Jon Lord is a classical pianist and has performed with David Bedford on the Odyssey tour. Roger Glover released an album in the late 70's titled "Elements". The album itself is in league with any Passport or Soft Machine record. Ian Paice was more of a jazz drummer. If you view the black and white film from Belgium in 70', you'll see during his solo that his playing ranks amongst some of the best european/jazz/fusion drummers of our time. The progressive edge in Purple's music, in detailed aspect, turns up in sections of 'Space Truckin' performed live where Blackmore and Lord would play harmony with thirty second notes. This, plus the jazz drum fills in some of their rock songs were an indication that you were listening to schooled musicians and not typical stadium rockers. But I don't believe their intentions were to sit down and write a prog piece. That wasn't their mind set, to say the least.

I THINK DEEP PURPLE COULD HAVE DONE SOME NICE PROG ALBUMS!

well and itīs a shame they didnīt play child in time live in 2006 here in germany (although gillanīs voice was the reason).

AND ONE OF THE BEST LIVE ALBUMS BESIDES MADE IN JAPAN IS METALLICAīS SYMPHONY AND METALLICA ALBUM ( WICH IS ALSO AVAILABLE AS DVD Big smile )
It's just a ride... <3

Made in Japan is a great live album and deserves the credit due. I personally think Purple should have put more creativity into their set list as it hardly ever changed. Purple were in N.Y for 3 nights and the same 2 guys in the front row every night were screaming for them to change the set.LOL  Then all the various bootleg recordings I heard over the years seemed to contain the same order of songs. I always wanted to hear 'Pictures of Home" live from the Japan tour.

Listen to some live Magma albums if you don't think prog is made to be played live.

Hi,
 
Deep Purple never was "prog" ... if anything it was "loud" ... in fact, I walked out ...
 
It was a band that made a name on excesses and loudness and while there was a couple of songs here and there that were nice, it was never prog. It was more about the excess and making sure that people could notice they were there ...
 
For all intents and purposes, this was "rock'n'roll" ,.. and nothing else.

Caps lock may not be necessary all the time but it is cruise control for cool.
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal.
