Deep Purple/Osaka,Japan 6.27.1973

Live album from the first day in Osaka “June 27, 1973, Osaka Welfare Pension Hall”. Here, let’s check the schedule and the location of the sound source.・June 23, 1973: Hiroshima City Public Hall ・June 24, 1973: Nagoya City Public Hall ・June 25, 1973: Nippon Budokan “BUDOKAN 1973″ ・June 26, 1973: Nippon Budokan (cancelled) June 27, 1973: Osaka Welfare Pension Hall [This work] June 29, 1973: Osaka Welfare Pension Hall ““THE END”” In this way, the 1973 Japan tour was a total of five episodes. The June 26th performance was canceled due to the riot that broke out on June 25th. This work was then moved to Osaka. This recording was once made into a CD as “FINAL BLACK”. The clear and edgy sound sparked debate, with people saying, “Maybe it’s a soundboard?” or “It’s probably the audience.” This work is a piece that revives that master with the latest mastering. The sound is certainly controversial. In the opening song “Highway Star,” perhaps due to a mistake in the on-site mix, the vocals and guitars are almost audible at the beginning, making it sound like a keyboard trio. Before the solo, the guitar suddenly comes forward. Even these changes in the mix stand out clearly. As the guitar solo becomes more exciting, the sound becomes even clearer. Of course, after that, you can enjoy a great performance typical of DEEP PURPLE in 1973 with a natural band balance. In particular, in “Child In Time”, in addition to John’s organ with an amazing sound, you can clearly hear Gillan’s vocals to the delicate tone, and Richie also sounds like he is getting close to the listener. Anyway, the musical tone completely controls the recording, ignoring the cheers, and the direct feeling that is unlike the audience recording of the 1970s is really vivid. The sound was great from the original master, but in this work, the latest remastering has made the sound even better. The 1973 Japan tour is especially famous for the big riot at Budokan and the last day of the last speech, but the point of this work is the encore. Budokan and the last day will end with “Space Truckin’”, the last of the main set, but on this day you can listen to the last “Black Night”, which the second period DEEP PURPLE responded to the encore. Even in this final version, the wonderful sound remains unwavering, and you can fully enjoy the historic last encore. This work takes place two days after the Budokan, which caused a huge riot due to the lack of an encore, and the day before the last gig of the second season. It’s great as a live album, but it’s also a piece that connects two historically famous performances. Not only the revived famous album “THE END” but also those who were shocked by the impact of “BUDOKAN 1973” should look back on it again. If you can, listen to Three Nights in order to enjoy this historic 1973 document. Live at Koseinenkin Kaikan, Osaka, Japan 27th June 1973 TRULY PERFECT SOUND (79:51) 1. Highway Star 2.
