This is also one of the rarest footage from Gillan's solo carrer.

It was fimed on national Japanese Television in 1978.

And it turned out be the only footage of Gillan with that line up.

Ian Gillan: Vocals

Steve Byrd: Guitar

John McCoy: Bass

Colin Towns: Keyboards

Pete Barnacle: Drums

Thanks for sharing this amazing video. One of my favourite Gillan songs. Garth's voice is in perfect health and the band are lean and hungry (and possibly thirsty: "send another gallon coz I'm running out of stock).

I agree with everyones posts here,Gillan certainly rocked harder than Purple ever did? Excellent mix of hard-rock,blues,and punk guitar,with THE best musicianship from its members combined with THE best rock vocalist. If you read the nme/melody maker/ etc of the day,and possessed the Future Shock album with attached scrap book? Then you`llknoe there was a word for Gillan-Itwas "Cock Rock Gone Mad"! Haha!

Thank you to share this fantastic video and thank you to all those who appreciated this speed-rock-hard-punk peformance.. I don't know what is it and I don't care. What a voice Ian Had at this time. This band looks like a band of young and crazy guys, having fun and such a good time!
