This 3CD set contains almost three full concerts; the same three gigs that supplied the contents to the classic <a href="live07.html">Made in Japan</a> 1972. Two of the tracks included there (&quot;Smoke on the Water&quot; from the 15th and &quot;The Mule&quot; from the 17th) have not been included on this release. In addition, neither encore from the 16th (&quot;Black Night&quot; &amp; &quot;Lucille&quot;) is included, nor are the encores from the 17th (&quot;Black Night&quot; &amp; &quot;Speed King&quot;); the first of which is available on a variety of singles, EPs and compilations. Both encores from the 15th are included.
