This Time Around: Live in Tokyo is a live album from Deep Purple
. After the band's demise in 1976, a live album called Last Concert in Japan
was released in 1977. It was compiled from shows the band did in Tokyo in December 1975. It was heavily edited, and, coming on the heels of their previous Japanese-recorded album Made in Japan, it failed to deliver, and was never released in the US. In 2001 the complete show was released as This Time Around.
Although the audience was largely unaware of it at the time of the show, new member Tommy Bolin
had a severe drug addiction, that ultimately would prove to be fatal less than a year later.
