For this Friday we’re digging very deep giving an historic fragment from “Gillan’s“ first Japanese tour as a band during the period of the release of the band’s self-titled debut which was known as the “Japanese Album“ because at the time it only came out in Japan. Regarded as a lost masterpiece it provided some mighty heavy tunes re-recorded for some later albums, one of them being “Message In a Bottle“. Here you can see the very first “Gillan“ line up on fire while performing in a TV studio in Tokyo, on the first day of their Japanese tour.
Band:
Ian Gillan: Vocals
Colin Towns: Keyboards
John McCoy: Bass
Steve Byrd: Guitar
Pete Barnacle: Drums
