Joe Satriani's era was a special one in 48 years of DEEP PURPLE history. The best live in Japan is here!

Satriani DP was born from the sudden withdrawal of Ritchie Blackmore just before the performance in Japan. Although there are no studio works or live albums left officially, unlike Randy California, it is called "one era" with various names such as "Mk 8", "Mk VI", "7.5th period", etc. It is a lineup that has been handed down to the present day. This work is a live album with the best sound that will represent the Satriani era. This is a good opportunity, so let's take a bird's eye view of Satriani DP's history.

・ November 17, 1993: Ritchie final performance
《Join Satriani》
・ December 1-8, 1993: Japan Tour (6 performances)
・ June 3-July 6, 1994: European Tour (25 performances)
《Satriani withdrawal》
・ November 23, 1994: First performance after joining Mose

As mentioned above, Satriani DP's live performances are all 31 performances in Japan and Europe. The performance in Japan was exactly the first stage of Satriani DP. This work is an audience album that includes the performance of "December 3, 1993: Osaka Castle Hall". We have introduced a lot of 1993 records so far, so let's organize them together with the schedule.

・ December 1, 1993: Nagoya Rainbow Hall
・ December 3, 1993: Osaka Castle Hall
→ "BATTLE CASTLE", [this work]
・ December 5, 1993: Yokohama Cultural Gymnasium
→ "THE BATTLE RAGES IN YOKOHAMA"
・ December 6, 1993: Nippon Budokan
→ "THE TOKYO BATTLE"
・ December 7, 1993: Nippon Budokan
→ "THE TOKYO BATTLE" "BATTLE RAGES AT BUDOKAN"
・ December 8, 1993: Yoyogi Olympic Pool
→ "THE TOKYO BATTLE" "BATTLE MACHINE"

We have delivered a number of famous recordings in this way, but the quality of this work is by far the best. This is a direct CD version of the original master that first appeared this time, and of course it is a separate recording from the already-released "BATTLE CASTLE". It's as if the sound barrel and the word "sound board" became a CD as it was.
