Deep Purple ”Made in Japan” is my all-time favorite album. Just listened to ”Lazy” from the 2014 remastered version.

An absolute innovator with incredible tone and magical phrasing. Find the 1976 Rainbow live album, pour a stiff glass of bourbon, crank it up and soak it in!!

Correct

Find the 1976 Rainbow live album, pour a stiff glass of bourbon, crank it up and soak it in!!

At least get your bot trained, which album.

The first available Rainbow live album was called "On Stage", released in 1977. Although a compilation of tracks from German and Japanese dates in 1976.

However, "Live in Germany 1976" released in 1990 although released in the USA as Live in Europe a couple of years later. Also
"Deutschland Tournee 1976", released 2006 and "Rainbow – Live In Nürnberg 1976" released 2007.

It is interesting to (once again) see how songs evolve when a band plays them live for a while. Long Live Rock’n’Roll from Live in Munich 1977 sounds quite diffrent from the great version that appeared on the album titled the same as that song.

A good friend of mine was their sound engineer back in 1974 for Cal Jam 1. He’s far left sitting behind a sound console, with the beard and sunglasses. These are screen grabs from the YT video.
