Japanese reissue of Deep Puple Mk 3 last album.

Wikipedia: Made in Europe is a live album released by Deep Purple, recorded on the final dates in April 1975 before Ritchie Blackmore left Deep Purple. It was released in October 1976, after the group had broken up.

From Metal-Archives:
Mark-III is certainly the most acclaimed incarnation of Deep Purple, right after the second, of course, by the mid-70’s probably the most terrific line-up in the planet or at least of the British scene, a super-band which featured the then unknown Coverdale & Hughes, who provided the group of an absolutely refreshing bluesy funk essence. On stage, this formation definitely made history and worked-out perfectly, the talent of each of these virtuosos was combined to build a truly solid wall of sound of blistering heavy metal, so memorable they could forget about the Mark-II days and conceive a set-list predominantly based on both Burn and Stormbringer albums. That greatness had to be captured on record, so Made In Europe was released, including cuts from 3 1975 distinct gigs: April 4th in Graz (Austria), April 5th in Saarbrücken and the historical April 7th in Paris, which would be the last dates featuring Mr. Blackmore on guitar. Curiously, this artifact was put out in 1976 when Mark-IV was already history, less than 2 months before Bolin’s tragic dead.

By 1974, the band survived with no problem to the departure of Gillan & Glover with the right replacements that lead them to another level of brilliance and splendor, as the new studio work proved. However, Deep Purple always focused predominantly on making their live shows electrifying and challenging because this live band doesn’t need studio traps to impress, so their real magic could be found in concert. In case you couldn’t attend their 70’s shows, you got records like this giving you the chance to relive such historical moments for rock/metal. Starting with the heavy artillery of “Burn”, the most brutal relentless version they ever played can be found here, generally obeying the studio patterns but introducing always some variation, distinct bridge, lengthier pickin’ part or something else to make it reach greater power and aggression, because its tempo becomes considerably faster, riffs much sharper and vocals very outrageous - yet remaining precise and disciplined on its execution. That’s the most vivid expression of power metal you could find by the mid-70’s: melody, velocity, progression and extra reminiscence of baroque on that epic organ solo. Other straight tracks on the set are the second Mark-III album title-number and “Lady Double Dealer”, the second one simple and persistently melodic, though incorporating abrasive riffing and a fast-paced early speed metal rhythm that could’ve been spectacular with a heavier edge but Glenn & David gave it class and romance with those revealing lyrics instead. The best is yet to come however, Deep Purple still make complicated lengthy titles part of their policy, “You Fool No One” and its superb 16 minutes is the clearest representation of these guy’s fascination for technique, improvisation, bluesy jams and absolute virtuosism, including titanic organ, guitar & drum solos with each member completely inspired and motivated, Purple ecstasy.

The stunning harmony and meticulousness of this line-up brings back the unique magic of the unforgettable concerts in Japan, though definitely Blackmore & co. managed to conceive brand new solid songs they could bring to next level on stage, making them more elaborated, intense and energetic, adding lots of cool arrangements and structure-modifications to display their entire abilities without the restrictions of the studio. “Mistreated” for instance, is completely emotional and extraordinary on record, but live it achieves bigger sentiment and strength, still the California Jamming - Live 1974 version remains as the most incredible ever - yet this one as well features one of Coverdale’s most impressive performances, alternating tortured and tender vocals with tough harsh screaming, making such an exhibition of talent, accompanied by The Man In Black’s lyrical lines. “Stormbringer” also becomes here more notably vigorous and fierce, so you see the stage is where Mark-III reaches peaks and proves their possibilities to construct more advanced, complex and incendiary music than anything the studio stuff could offer. Deep Purple defined the standards and rules of heavy metal on shows like these, all their innate aggression, velocity and attitude revealed a distinct concept from most mainstream 70’s classic rock groups, all the rage, passion and power displayed were never matched by anybody else by that time when the genre started showing serious signs of decline. I insist, “Burn” was the earliest power metal ever conceived, this live version gives elements like speed, technique and fury greater presence while most of their peers were stuck on traditional weighty tempos, lots of blues influence and vain love/chicks lyrics. The unsurpassable progression displayed on their lengthy numbers proves the excellence as performers of these guys, most passages seem to be the result of absolute improvisation, though always focused, controlled and consistent, no place for chaos or stupidity some pompous prog-rock compatriots in those days couldn’t help.

Made In Europe was the best successor possible of Made In Japan, demonstrating Deep Purple eluded to live in the past and repeat themselves with no originality, presenting instead a completely renewed set-list based on competent compositions which satisfied the avid fans as much as the legendary Mark-II material did. Avoiding as always simply emulating and copying the studio schemes, Blackmore & co. introduce here more countless variations and extended jams you never heard before, an expression of admirable talent and innovation. There seems to be certain extra motivation from the members, specially from Ritchie, knowing these would be the last Mark-III gigs ever. So relive the priceless heritage of one of the finest line-ups in the history of heavy metal at its best, making absolutely timeless music.
