Deep Purple/Tokyo,Japan 5.16.1985 Complete

Deep Purple reunited with the second generation members in 1984 after an eight-year hiatus. In 1985, they performed in Japan for the first time in a while. Since it was thought that Yomoya Purple would never be seen in Japan again, it was probably a long-awaited performance in Japan for Japanese fans, coupled with the hard rock boom at the time. Ian Gillan, who now has short gray hair and looks like an old man, is young, and this is Purple’s last performance in Japan with Richie, who participated regardless of feud or enmity. The concert was a total of 7 days, with 2 days in Osaka and Nagoya, and 4 consecutive performances at Budokan, which shows the popularity of Purple at the time. This work includes not only the final day at Budokan, but also the complete high-quality recording of the Budokan performance on May 16, 1985, which concludes the Japan tour. Budokan night in early summer, colored in deep purple. This is heavy rock! NIPPON BUDOKAN HALL TOKYO JAPAN May 16, 1985 DISC ONE 01. Highway Star 02. Nobody’s Home 03. Strange Kind Of Woman 04.
