On February 3 Jon Lord will perform The Concerto for Group and Orchestra in Essen, Germany.
- When we did it in Hagen last February we were going do one night but so many people were interested that we had to do two nights. We got standing ovations.
- In the second half I play a couple of Deep Purple numbers that I have arranged for the orchestra as well as my own solo stuff, too. The concert itself is like a little journey from yesterday to today, if you like – a musical journey. Sometimes I also play with what I call local heroes. It’s always great to go to a town and play with some of the local drummers, bass players and guitar players, who want to play this.
