April 5th, 2014 at 20:08Wow!
April 5th, 2014 at 22:02I wish I was there.
Jon Lord will never really die.
Stunning set list, a special concert for the maestro Lord, the ONLY Lord! Great to see Soldier Of Fortune, Burn, You Keep On Moving & This Time Around! As long as Hughes didn’t whoop & holler & attempt to scream, I am looking forward to hearing his vocal performance of those two CTTB songs! Also Bruce Dickinson singing Burn! Stellar musicians all around, brilliant!
April 5th, 2014 at 22:32Incredibly emotional & proud evening for his wife & family no doubt, & also friends & musicians! RIP Jon Lord. Cheers.
will this be coming out on dvd, hope so 🙂
April 6th, 2014 at 00:35Great set list. They didn’t go for the obvious, instead giving a good cross-section of the music Jon was involved in, including THE ARTWOODS. How cool was that. Paul put together a wonderful tribute to Jon. I’ve heard there will be an official release eventually. It’s already on my wish list.
I will say that I’m disappointed that Ritchie decided to not be involved. He and Jon, (along with Ian) started DP, and the DP sound was the interplay between Jon and Ritchie. I wouldn’t have expected Ritchie to perform with his former band mates, but an appearance with the house band and orchestra would have been a sign of respect for Jons memory. Oh well, he’s an adult and can make his own decisions. The rest of us will enjoy the tribute that was presented with love and respect.
April 6th, 2014 at 04:23Interesting that they didn’t play Smoke On The Water.
I sure this was the concert of the Century. Wonder what Jon thought of all this???. Anyone have an opinion???
April 6th, 2014 at 04:24I couldn’t go but CAN’T wait to see this on DVD. I Hear Glenn stole the show!
April 6th, 2014 at 05:50Phantastic show. Glenn Hughes blew everyone away. Truely highlight of the show.
April 6th, 2014 at 08:283 disappointements:
they didn’t play any whitesnake song, although Marsden, Moody, Paice and Murray were on stage.
Deep Purple played two songs, in which Jon Lord has never been involved (the rest of the show was Jon Lords Music).
I don’t know why, but Glenn Hughes was the only artist, who wasn’t on stage during the final smoke on the water.
I don’t think I could have controlled myself watching Glenn sing “This Time Around” for Lordy.
As I look around you can’t be found
To lose you I’d rather see
The endless time of space go passing by
This time around
This time around
So look around we all will be found
In love.
It must have been PRICELESS!

April 6th, 2014 at 12:43I agree the show was fantastic. The roar when Glenn entered the stage was awesome.
I had also hoped for some Whitesnake, but Silas and Jerome & Gonna stop drinking more than made up for that omission.
I was also surprised that Glenn didn’t show up on Hush. His ego to big maybe??
Great night, although I must admit that I found some of Glenn’s screams pointless and a tad irritating. That being said, ‘You keep on moving’ by Bruce Dickinson and Glenn was the highlight of the night.
Regarding Deep Purple, sure, Jon was not part of the first songs of their set, but those songs were dedicated to Jon when the latest Purple album was released…
April 6th, 2014 at 16:59No one was on stage for Smoke… as they did not play it!!!
April 6th, 2014 at 19:06A magic night!
April 6th, 2014 at 20:48Ritchie should have been there playing Child In Time and Smoke On The Water.
I saw the Youtube Clip of Burn. It sounds amazing with exception of Glenn’s permanent over the top screaming. I’m amazed that his voice is in a better shape than ever but from time to time he should hold himself back a little.
April 6th, 2014 at 23:40Please, please, please tell me there will be a DVD from this event!
April 7th, 2014 at 06:05ooops, i ment “hush”, which was the final song that night.
April 7th, 2014 at 06:32I does not seem like, Glenns ego was too big. He looked very emotionel when he talked about writing “this time around” with Jon. Maybe Ian Gillans ego is too big ? Not sharing space on stage with an other DP-singer ?
@8 Above and beyond is dedicated to Jon Lord on the Album so i guess why this was played. Uncommon Man i believe has undertones to Jon Lord as well.
April 7th, 2014 at 17:41But as you say no whitensake songs which i was hoping to have happened. Pity i wasnt there either
Jurgen @ 16- Why would Gillan want to share the stage with Hughes?????? What for, he has his own gig around the corner for one, he would be emotional no doubt as other members would have been & his vocal definitely does not fit at all with Hughes! Why do certain people say it is ego when it simply wouldn’t be! Too many vocalist’s on stage is too many. Dickinson & Hughes couldn’t get it together properly in my book, Gillan is far to professional to get caught up in that! My opinion of it, but I may be wrong of course! Cheers.
April 7th, 2014 at 22:06Wooow…
April 8th, 2014 at 11:26There are some songs we wish we would have heard them played by Jon Lord himself (“This Time Around”, “I’m Gonna Stop Drinking”…..)
Is Paul Weller THE Paul Weller from the Jam?
Good idea from DP to include two new songs. After all, “Above & Beyond” is a dedication to the maestro. And by playing new stuff, DP proves that, somehow thanks to Jon, they can keep on being creative and inspired. The problem is more in the old stuff’s choice : I would have liked to hear them play some more Jon-driven songs, like “Blind”, “A Touch Away” or “Our Lady”. Well, anyway, great great choice.
Failed only David Coverdale to sing the “Soldier of Fortune” and ,a song of “good early Whitesnake”.
and
Of course
he
“prince of darkness”.
without them, the set list and the list of performers is impressive
Jon tanks for all years
April 8th, 2014 at 12:22Pardon the lack of caps. just had shoulder surgery. jon is so much a part of my life. I’ve been listening to his music for decades. I even got to meet him one cold night in Pittsburgh after a smokin show in 1996. such a nice person. you could just feel a down to earth kindness in him. an often forgotten song of his is his song “For a friend” I listen it and just marvel at the beauty of his music. Jon was so versatile going from blistering rock solo’s to his retrospective “Pictured Within” The World is a poorer place with him gone. God Bless Jon Lord!
April 10th, 2014 at 03:05I cannot believe this concert hasn’t received wider coverage than it has in the media! I have not seen anything mentioned at the BBC site at all! They cover all aspects of entertainment, Jon Lord’s passing received plenty of attention, but not this! And at The Royal Albert Hall also! Unbelievable! A shame indeed! Actually it is a disgrace! Cheers!
April 10th, 2014 at 10:01Excellent version of Hush, Dickinson sings well there with Gillan, Wakeman & Airey on the keys dueling , brilliant! Cheers.
