As a 10 year old, I remember this concert very well. It was LOUD. This was NOT the Machine Head tour. It was the Made In Japan tour. I also remember almost getting crushed as we, my big brother and I, were on the floor(good ole general admission first come first serve) and got pushed where we were really close to the stage. There was a fight near us and someone sprayed mace....not good. I remember how good Ritchie Blackmore was. They only did about 9 or 10 songs but with the exception of Highway Star, all of there songs were really long. Child in Time guitar solo was so good. During Space Truckin some guy was banging his head on the stage and Jon Lord bent down to ask if he was okay and the guy said something like "far out." I know this because I read and interview in Cream magazine where Lord described this. By the way, Fleetwood Mac opened for DP. The only thing I remember about them was their use of different drums, including a bongo.
