Members were not speaking to each other and many songs were finished only after schedules were arranged so they could record parts separately. The group, riven with internal strife, struggled to come up with tracks that they agreed upon. The rest were recorded in Frankfurt after more touring (including Japan, which yielded Made in Japan). The only other track released from the Rome sessions is the outtake "Painted Horse".
"Woman from Tokyo", the first track recorded in July, is about touring Japan for the first time (e.g. Jesse Gress, writing for Guitar Player magazine, noted that Ritchie Blackmore's "bluesy head to 'Lazy' (from Deep Purple's Machine Head) fondly paraphrases Slowhand’s Bluesbreaker-era showcase ' Steppin' Out' right down to the same style of third-position swing-sixteenth G blues riffing".Who Do We Think We Are was recorded in Rome in July 1972 and Walldorf near Frankfurt in October 1972, using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio. Sections of this song were often used in Australia on the Channel 9 Wide World of Sports program when cutting to an ad and used in Indonesia for opening song program Warna on the Trans7. Readers of Guitar World voted "Lazy" the 74th greatest guitar solo of all time. Other live versions can be found on Deep Purple in Concert, Nobody's Perfect and on videos like Live in Concert 72/73 and Total Abandon: Australia '99. However, more recent performances with Steve Morse have gone back to the original arrangement.
Later live performances after the band's reunion in 1984 tended to be much shorter, cutting out the intro and one of the verses.
Gillan defined the song as rhythm and blues. Ritchie Blackmore would sometimes include the main riff from "Lazy" in live performances of the song " Man on the Silver Mountain" by Rainbow. Additionally, Jon Lord includes the riff from the C Jam Blues in the intro. The live version on Made in Japan features a theme from Hugo Alfvén's "Swedish Rhapsody #1", played by Ritchie Blackmore as a part of his solo. At over 7 minutes long, it is the longest track on the album, and live versions were often extended past 10 minutes. He also uses harmonica both on the studio version and live. Vocalist Ian Gillan comes in with the vocals later in the song. The song starts out as an instrumental, keyboardist Jon Lord plays an overdriven Hammond organ intro, followed by the main riff and with the solo swapping between him and guitarist Ritchie Blackmore. A live performance of the song can be found on the album Made in Japan, released later the same year. " Lazy" is a song by Deep Purple from their 1972 album Machine Head.
