Pheww I agree with Textbook I love the album but always thought it was rock rather than prog

]-#[.may be wrong) I often though wonder could Deep Purple have pushed themselves a bit and made a great prog album? Just a thought. Shoot me down in flames if you like but I dont think the prog lends itself too much to live albums. I usually prefer the studio versions.LIke listening to how they stretch live its just the actual recording depth sometimes doesnt match the studio gawd spot the anorak hood up slouches off.

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

Do all women push their breasts out when you type in capslock?

HEY, I WOULD LIKE TO YELL TOO. I HOPE PEOPLE DON'T JUST START TALKING AT A REASONABLE VOLUME BECAUSE THE YELLING THING IS "PLAYED OUT" OR SOMETHING.

On topic: LIVE ALBUMS ARE COOL. MY FAVORITE LIVE ALBUM IS EITHER THE NIGHT WATCH BY KING CRIMSON OR PLAYING THE FOOL BY GENTLE GIANT. BOTH GREAT LIVE ALBUMS, YOU SHOULD ALL FIVE STAR THEM LIKE THIS Star

AND GET THEM TO THE TOP OF THE LIVE ALBUM CHARTS.

KC - WHY ARE YOUR PICTURES SO DAMN BIG?? YOU'RE A SCROLL TROLL !!

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.

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.

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

well and it´s a shame they didn´t play child in time live in 2006 here in germany (although gillan´s voice was the reason).

AND ONE OF THE BEST LIVE ALBUMS BESIDES MADE IN JAPAN IS METALLICA´S SYMPHONY AND METALLICA ALBUM ( WICH IS ALSO AVAILABLE AS DVD Big smile

)

It's just a ride... <3

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.
