Was "Made in Japan" recorded on video?

Truly a frequent question this one, sadly the answer is NO.

However, those who hasn't noticed, should check out the 3CD set "Live in Japan" out on EMI in Europe in 1993, under supervision of Simon Robinson.

This excellent 3CD set consists of one CD for each of the three nights recorded for the original album, almost in full. Two of the songs on the original album, and some below par encores, are left out due to space restrictions, but this set gives a unique glimpse into how Deep Purple sounded on the road, on three consequent nights.

Recorded on 15. and 16. Augsust in Osaka and on the 17. of August at the Tokyo Budokan, we get three excellent performances, which really are different in feel from night to night; actually, they get better every night!
