    • I grew up with the JCS concept album and Machine Head, then as I got back into JCS (I was in a production as a random Apostle’s Woman) and then went seeking out DP stuff, found the podcast and have learned about so many deep cuts! So I figured I better join the Patreon to get more episodes! And yes, Sarajane as patron name is fine!

  • Carsten Lau upgrades to the 19.31 DKK tier!
    • After getting so much value from your show every time I drive to and from work listening on Spotify, I have now decided to upgrade my membership to the $3 tier. It will be so exciting what value it ends up being this time in cold hearted danish kroner Just filled out the “Burn ranking” and that was at tough one since I only knew the 3 song from Made in Europe. Mostly all the remaining was quite new to me, but have heard some of them on the show. Thanks for expanding my knowledge on the fantastic DP universe and keep up the good work. “Glædelig Jul” to you all

History:

  • The Lloyd Webber brothers grew up very close and shared an obvious background in music. The different styles they played made it unlikely that they would ever collaborate.
  • The two bet on a Leyton Orient football match. Andrew lost and his payment was having to write Julian’s cello work.
  • Andrew chose the theme of Paganini’s 24th caprice and added 23 variations for cello and rock band.
  • The work was premiered at the 1977 Sydmonton Festival and performed by the rock band Colosseum II with julian on cello.
  • It was rearranged and recorded in 1978.

Core Band:

Additional Musicians:

Technical:

  • Engineer [Engineered By] – Martin Levan
  • Lacquer Cut By – Porky (5)
  • Coordinator [Production Coordinated By] – Bridget Hayward
    • Only other credit on Discogs is a title called “Stripping For Jesus.”

Reviews

  • “Nearly 12,000 rock fans filled the Budokan concert hall to see the new Deep Purple. The band had flown their producer, Martin Birch, in to supervise the recording of the album, and two film crews, one stationary and one mobile, were there to record the excitement on celluloid. Purple opened to pandemonium with “Burn” and with Tommy Bolin healthy again, they played their most explosive set of the tour. Jon Lord and Ian Paice dazzled the rock & roll ravers with an impromptu jam of “Woman From Tokyo”. Tommy Bolin mesmerized them with his echoplex during [sic] “Ode to G”.Glenn Hughes, one of rock’s funkiest bassists, had the girls screaming during his soulful rendition of “Georgia On My Mind” and David Coverdale was fully in command as he sang “Smoke on the Water”, the song that made Ian Gillan’s wail famous.” Peter Crescenti/Rolling Stone
  • Stargazer Issue Eleven, May / June 1977
Last Concert In Japan– Album Review
After I’d done a review of the ‘Get It While It Tastes’ bootleg from the same 15th December 1975 Tokyo concert, this arrived from Japan. Stripped of the bootleg’s atmosphere the music has very little to offer. There is always something missing in the sound – it’s like listening to an LP with one of the tracks mixed off.

Jon Lord – Before We Forget

Pre-order Ovais Naqvi’s “Before We Forget” here: https://beforeweforget.store/

It’s with great excitement that we here at The Deep Purple Podcast announce the upcoming book “Before We Forget” by our good friend and patron Ovais Naqvi.

Ovais has worked tirelessly over the past two years speaking with dozens of collaborators, friends, and family members of the late Jon Lord to bring forth this superb work on his life and career. Within is the most complete and meticulously detailed account of the gear and instruments he used to style some of the greatest recorded music of the past 50 years.

The Author in His Own Words:

“I grew up in North West London (the home of Charlie Watts, Keith Moon and Nicky Hopkins), listening to Jon Lord’s extraordinary sounds and music and the idea of this biography was to celebrate his genius, but to approach him from the direction of sound, instrumentation and musical DNA”, writes the author Ovais Naqvi. “I was less interested in his “life”, even, in a way, wanting to continue to protect his privacy and I was more interested in how such remarkable musicality emerged from a small semi-detached house in Averil Road in Leicester in the 1940s.

“My question, ‘was how could a kid growing up in austere 1950s Britain, become so adept at so many forms of music?’ Then, when you turn to the London live scene from 1964, from his knowing the teenage Ronnie Wood and living in his mum’s house, to playing alongside his brother Art Wood, Jimmy Page, Ray Davies, being on Ready Steady Go!, to being at the Apple Records launch party, Lord is here, there and everywhere – even before Deep Purple form in 1968.

“He could play jazz, blues, R&B, soul and pop and compose orchestral music, alongside coinventing decibel-breaking heavy rock, all with equal facility. That’s incredible in itself and led me to ask ‘how’, with what kind of a musical brain – and with which tools – did he manage to achieve all that? That is, in essence, what drove this amazing journey”.

The book contains incredibly researched rundowns of all the different rigs that Jon Lord used over the years such as this one from his time with Whitesnake.

Never before has anyone taken such account of the gear setups that Jon Lord used over the years. This book serves as an amazing telling of Jon Lord’s musical endeavors but also serves as an important reference of the equipment and instrumentation he used throughout his storied career.

The book contains full identification of all the Hammond organs he played on a permanent and long-term hired basis in Deep Purple and Whitesnake between February 1968 and September 2002.

This includes an array of over 50 electric and acoustic pianos, monophonic synths, polyphonic synths, effects units, sampling units, MIDI synthesisers and keyboard module units.

Ovais has had the fortune to connect with Deep Purple as well as Paul Mann to discuss Jon’s life and legacy.

This book is an absolute must for any fan of Jon Lord, Deep Purple, or the incredible advancements and influence that keyboards and synthesizers have had on the music over the past 50+ years.

You can pre-order the book here.
