Dear Jon,
greetings from Moscow!
Ian Paice was giving a master class in Feb’09 here. And among numerous questions he was asked about your plans in terms of visiting Moscow. Ian said you had many plans and you always knew the scale of love of Russian fans to Deep Purple and to you personally.
Hope you really have plans to play concert here. I keep my fingers crossed!
Kind regards,
Denis
Dearest Jon,
If one day you decide to come to Moscow or St.Petersburg or any other Russian city, I swear, all your fans from Ukraine and Belorussia will be there as well! Same goes for fans from Russia and any concert in Minsk or Kiev. Please, dear Jon, would you just COME… we really miss your music and YOU in our part of the world!
May God bless you and yours

sammy barsom a big fan of DP
Hi Sammy
Yes, Jon Lord is coming to Falkenberg on July 11 with Robert Wells’ Rhapsody in Rock.
Lichfield Concert.
Does anyone know what the set might comprise of. I am assuming that if it’s just a string quartet we’re NOT getting the concerto. I’m bringing the memshaib you see and i’m trying to get her to familiarise herself with likely tracks.
Any ideas.
Cheers
Dave
hi mr Jon!
is there any chance to see you play with your former band member Glenn Hughes on stage that evening??
maby dreams come throu
best regards.
sammy Barsom
Oh_MY_GOD!!! St.Petersburg and Moscow! Finally!
Thank you, Mr Lord! I’m crying now… but those are tears of happiness. My dearest dream comes true!
Dear, dear Jon!
I’m so incredibly happy you are finaly coming to Russia!! I just can’t believe it’s true….. Thank you, thank you SO much!!!
Can’t wait to see you in October!!!
With love,
Luba
Why not gig in Finland too, you are going to be so near when you are in St. Petersburg f….n Russia.
The distance is probably the same if you go to St.Petersburg…
No thanks. If I have to go to russia that would be in chains or in army uniform.
Thank you for just being on the Earth at all, and а special, enourmous THANK YOU!!! for the concert in Moscow that`s coming up real soon.
I believe that all russian fans are ready to pay just any sum of money to hear you playing, but let me say that official tickets seller (www.concert.ru (exact link: http://www.concert.ru/Order.aspx?ActionID=11600)) is selling tickets for a much higher price than 25-50 Euros mentioned in the press release. To be precise – for 5000 rubles and more – that’s well above 100 Euros )).
I hope that this information can help you and your team to control your profit from the show. Still, i`ve bought the tickets anyway, and can`t wait to hear you!!!
Come on, we`ra all waiting )))
With greatest respect from me and all russian fans,
Sergey K.
Jon, PLEASE COME TO TORONTO!!!!
Very nice posters for two Russian shows, but still no tickets available for 12.10 (St.Petersburg) and people at the hall where Jon is to perform seem to know nothing about the upcoming concert
Schone grusse am macedonija Gruss Tome PS /14 04 2008 Zurich CH
I hope Jon performs in Canada too. Casino Rama concerthall would be a great venue for Mr. Lord to play and its only a half hour from my city.I first saw Jon play in July 1981 for Whitesnake,in Buffalo N.Y., and i been a big fan ever since.

Dear Jon, greetings from ancient and young KYIV, Ukraine. What must be happened, that the most biggest old and new army of your and purple fans from all former USSR can meet you at last HERE IN UKRAINE?!!! It’s too sad for us here in Ukraine, that you have a solid tour in Russia, but wishful Ukraine still remains by side. You are always WELCOME here in UKRAINE. Sincerely, Volodymyr(WALTER)
Please Jon , come in Italy! Please, please, please!!! I hope a least to see you in January in Potsdam.
Dear Mr. LORD !
Without stong, powerful Lords’s organ – Deep Purple is not Deep Purple.
This is simply “Rainbow”, or simply “Blakmors night”, or simply Richies Band for a richie.
Richie always love only his gutar and hear only himself play)))
I love Richie guitars and his solo.
But power of rock-music of 70′- ROCK ORGAN !!!!
Please – play LOUDER !!!!
Play longer !
Thank you!
Your musick is a paradise.
The best regards
)))
