Recorded in master quality and professional shot of TV on-air footage from the Ian Gillan Band's second performance in Japan in 1978 after leaving Purple. In October of the same year, during the Japan tour, it was Studio La in a Tokyo TV program, and Gillan felt the limits of the fusion and AOR route in the original "IAN GILLAN BAND", which tried to break away from the image at the time. However, with the exception of keyboardist Colin Towns, the band was re-produced under the name "GILLAN," and was also used to promote the album. First of all, the members were Steve Bird, who only played during this period, John McCoy, who would become the permanent bassist of the Gillan Band from now on, and Pete Barnacle, who would later join Girl, on drums. Due to contractual issues, they did not perform the "CLEAR AIR TURBULENCE" and "SCARABUS" numbers that had made up the majority of the set on the previous year's tour, instead playing songs that were familiar to the new "GILLAN" released only in Japan at the time. What becomes the purple number. Furthermore, in the second half, after the 2015 Purple Orchestra tour has ended, there will be performances from the event festival "Rock Meets Classic 2015" hosted by Gillan, which is held every year, and a performance in Sursee, Switzerland on March 17th. A total of 12 songs from the Saale performance in Germany on April 2nd are recorded for 105 minutes with audience shots including various mobile devices. This time, not only Ian Gillan, but also Eric Martin, John Wetton, Rick Parfitt, etc. will be the main guests, and guests will participate from various places. After Gillan's closing performance, there will be a performance of "Smoke On". The show ended with all the performers on the day appearing on stage. Recording total of 93 minutes.
