We celebrate the 50th anniversary of one of the greatest live albums of all time, Deep Purple's "Made In Japan". This is a truly live album-- no doctored-up, overdubbed fixes here, just a killer band at the top of their game, tearing through a live set with little thought to the recording process. They thought this album would only be released to a limited audience in Japan... turned out to be a huge hit and the ultimate Deep Purple album. This episode, we explore the power of Deep Purple in all their glory with the definitive version of "Highway Star".
