Plock: A hypersensual, mind-smashing experience

Some of us, lucky to have witnessed the rehearsals, got a hint of what was going to happen in the evening but still, when Jon started playing the song, rearranged for the inclusion of the orchestra and two singers, the shivers went down our spines.’ writes Bartosz Kazana in his review of Jon Lord’s concert appearance at Plock, Poland on July 6.
