The third day of their 2009 Japan tour, the April 10th Hiroshima performance, is fully captured with ultra-high-quality audience recording. Deep Purple's setlist appears to have solidified since their Nagoya performance. This performance also showcased a stable performance that could be described as the pinnacle of their maturity. Like the Yngwie Malmsteen performance, released simultaneously, this Hiroshima performance boasts one of the best sound balances of any of the five Japan tour performances released by the Metal Hammer label!
