Lost Concert in Japan
I recall reading in the CD insert for "This Time Around: Live in Tokyo" that the video tapes from the "Last Concert in Japan" show were lost or misplaced. Have these been located? If so, is this ever going to get a DVD release? I think we're LONG overdue for a full length Mk IV concert video.

Re: Lost Concert in Japan
There is a QUESTION & ANSWER column on the DPAS site concerning this footage and more.
QUESTION: I have read in DTB etc. that there is footage 'around' of Mark IV, featuring Tommy..the often mentioned 'World At Large' and the complete Tokyo '75 show. Do they exist, what condition are they in, where are they, and what are the chances of release?
ANSWER: The BBC 'World At Large' film crew did indeed document Mk 4 in the studio and on the road in late 1975 and early 1976. Before anything could be done with the raw footage, the band split up and the finished programme was never made. Despite an extensive search by the BBC, no trace of any of the material can be found. There is a story that it "walked" some years ago, even that someone was offering it for sale, but all leads have drawn a blank. 'World At Large' do get a credit on the "Come Taste" sleeve by the way. Tokyo 75 was done on 16mm but the original footage cannot currently be traced, only video copies which show a much edited 25 minute version. We are in touch with one of the people who worked on the editing and are hoping to get a lead on where the film itself might now be.

...and of course, "Mr.George Pervert" ! I've always wondered if that was actually the guy's name?!?

Re: Lost Concert in Japan
Thanks Ovader. I saw a documentary on Deep Purple from the Burn album to the breakup and it featured some grainy Mk4 footage. Obviously of this 25 minute source you speak of. I hope the whole show get's recovered. that would be a true gem among Purple footage.
