The fourth generation, with Tommy Bolin taking over from Ritchie Blackmore, is the new Purple!
The Budokan live performance was a tribute album to Tommy Bolin.
This is a recording of the live performance held at the Budokan on December 15, 1975. It may be the lowest-ranked live album by Purple, but the enthusiasm of the audience is overwhelming, and you can vividly feel the atmosphere of the time, and Ian Paice's unparalleled precision in his drumming makes this a worthwhile album.
