Deep Purple / Tokyo, Japan – June 25, 1973 (Remastered)

This 2-CD set captures the legendary June 25, 1973, concert at the Nippon Budokan—a night that became infamous for the riot that erupted after the band failed to return for an encore, leading to the cancellation of the following day’s show. While various recordings of this notorious concert have circulated in the past, this release presents the definitive version, utilizing the best available master source and applying state-of-the-art 2026 mastering technology and corrective processing. Meticulous adjustments were made to the master cassette (originally recorded using a mono microphone onto stereo tape), including phase alignment, pitch correction, centering the vocals, and fixing tape speed fluctuations. By mixing the left and right channels into a stable mono mix—eliminating phase and frequency discrepancies—the entire performance can be heard with rock-solid, centered sound, allowing fans to fully appreciate the brilliance of the music. This is a must-have item for longtime fans. Live at Budokan, Tokyo, Japan 25th June 1973 : 2026 Remaster Up Grade Version Disc 1 : 1. MC (Goro Itoi) 2. Intro. 3. Highway Star 4. Smoke On The Water 5.
