Can't believe it's been over 50 years since this run of shows.

Based upon the actual footage shot on 8mm cine film of Deep Purple’s performance in Tokyo on August 17, 1972, fans are invited to relive one of the band’s most unforgettable performances of Highway Star. Considered by the band to be the best show of the three-night Made In Japan run, this performance of “Highway Star” shows Deep Purple firmly establishing their presence as one of the greatest live bands of all time.
Shot from the front row by Mr. Masafumi Kato, the original handheld cine footage catches all the moments of MKII’s breathtaking performance and has now been rescanned in HDR 4k definition, adding greater resolution and clarity.
The footage has been set to the new audio mix by Richard Digby Smith, taken from the upcoming Made In Japan Super Deluxe boxsets. The original cine reels contained many small gaps as the camera reframes and a large gap over Ritchie’s guitar solo, where the cameraman changes reels, which have been filled with graphics and animation depicting a fast and furious car racing to the Budokan venue.
