Our History With The ’99 Concerto:

Lead up to the Album:

  • Dutch composer Marco de Goiej discovered Deep Purple in his brother’s record collection. One day his brother came home with “Concerto For Group and Orchestra.” Marco was very interested in this release and decided that he wanted to track down the score but learned that it was never for sale.
  • He thought about transcribing it for a while then decided to try to track the score down.  Wrote a letter to Malcolm Arnold and reached out to The Hollywood Bowl and a few other things.
  • Finally decided to do it himself. Left a note at the reception desk with 30 pages of the most difficult bit.  Jon’s name was not on the guest list so he left it to attention to Colin Hart.
  • When he left the hotel a car pulled up and Ian Gillan and Jon Lord were getting out.  He approached Jon Lord and told him that he’d just left a note.  Jon was in a very bad mood after a rough trip from the airport and not in the mood until he heard the purpose of Marco’s visit.
  • Deep Purple played Rotterdam on October 12, 1998 on the Abandon tour.
  • He finished about 60% of the score and decided to track down Jon Lord.  Went to Rotterdam in 1998.  
  • Press Release Announcing Concerto
    • 21 September 1999
      PRESS RELEASE
      DUTCH COMPOSER REVIVES LOST CONCERTO
    • On the 25 and 26 September 1999 the London Symphony Orchestra (L.S.O) together with British rockband Deep Purple will perform the “Concerto for Group and Orchestra” in the Royal Albert Hall in London. These concerts are organised because of the 30th anniversary of the piece. It is the first performance since 30 years. Reason for this 30 years of silence: the score had disappeared.
    • Jon Lord, organist with Deep Purple, composed his “Concerto for Group and Orchestra” in 1969. Thanks to the efforts made by the Dutch composer Marco de Goeij, the “Concerto” will be performed again. De Goeij who knew that the score had been missing, decided to make a full transcription of the piece by listening to the CD. It took him two years to finish the transcription, which clocks in at a staggering 300 pages of manuscript. Jon Lord, impressed with De Goeij’s work made some revisions to the score and updated the instrumentation.
    • At the concerts, organised by the Nordoff Robbins Therapy Charity not only the revised “Concerto for Group and Orchestra will be performed, but also several old pieces from band members are planned. The hope is to close the show with a couple of Deep Purple songs featuring the band accompanied by the L.S.O..
    • Have a look at some photos showing Marco de Goeij together with Jon Lord and Ian Paice. The photos were taken recently in Pistoia, Italy.

  2. Pictured Within (Lord)
  3. Wait a While (Lord, Brown)
  4. Sitting in a Dream (Glover)
  5. Love is All (Glover, Hardin)
  6. Via Miami (Gillan, Glover)
    • From “Accidentally on Purpose” 1987
  7. That’s Why God Is Singing the Blues (Dave Corbett)
  8. Night Meets Light (Morse)
    • From the Dixie Dregs Album “What If” 1978
    • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_If_(Dixie_Dregs_album)
    • Paul Mann: The earliest releases of the CD contained, as was fashionable at the time, a video playable on a computer of Smoke on the Water, and in order to make space for this they had to jump through hoops with the audio order. We did try to tell them it was stupid because people would buy both formats anyway,  but they didn’t listen until they released the so called Tour Edition, the following year which restored Night Meets Light after protests from Steve and myself, and I think tried to make more sense of it.
  9. Take It Off the Top (Morse)
    • From the Dixie Dregs Album “What If” 1978
    • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_If_(Dixie_Dregs_album)
  10. Wring That Neck (Blackmore, Simper, Lord, Paice)

Paul Mann writes: I do remember though that the cd and dvd had different running orders which don’t necessarily reflect the order of the night. I would imagine that the set lists stored on places like The Highway Star website are likely to be more reliable.   I think both nights were the same, but can’t be sure about that either…!

Bustin’ Out The Spreadsheet

Reception and Charts:

  • Released on July 28, 1990.
  • Peaked at #63, was in charts for 1 week in the UK.
  • Peaked at #27 in Sweden.
  • Gillan describes the process of finding a new record company as knocking on doors and playing tapes to a new generation of record people.
  • When asked about the album by Metal Hammer Ian Gillan said, “Better than I expected in most countries. In the U.K. well, it’s been years since I did anything myself and the last Purple album didn’t sell shit there, so I guess I’ve got to start all over again. Internationally speaking the response has been better than expected, but England’s a funny old country.”
  • Gillan says in “Child in Time” of the album: “And so Steve would come down and work with me, or we’d send stuff by post, building up a project I’d decided to finance myself. Looking back on that, it was a mistake, and, as far as the album’s concerned, there’s a lot of things we could have done better.
  • Gillan goes on to say “I should have come out on Naked Thunder with both fists fling, but I didn’t want to be undignified nor appear to be in a corner. Having said this, what I was dealing with was the equivalent to a traumatic divorce, in which the parties should have been able to tay together. The first divorce had been bad enough, but at least I’d walked out. This time I’d been thrown out, and my band was continuing without me, and it was hurting.
  • Gillan describes the album as trying to push Deep Purple from his mind and do different material which may have disappointed some people.
  • They arranged a band for the tour. Gustafson, unfortunately, had a falling out with Gillan when they met to discuss.  Phillips and Robinson as Gilland said “could have earned more in a few hours in the States than they’d take home in months on tour with us.”
  • The tour began right after the album was done. “We left for the vastness of Russia, where everybody seemed to be called Sasha.”

Reviews

  • Darker Than Blue Issue 40  November / December 1990
    • Production wise it’s very up to date but somewhat sparse, at times there is almost nothing happening. I think this has perhaps shown up weaknesses in some tracks. That’s the downside of it all for me. On the other hand some of the tracks are so catchy it’s practically a crime they aren’t hit singles. The two opening cuts, GUT REACTION and TALKING TO YOU really seem to hit the mark, as hard hitting as any stadium rockers, even if the latter does come over as Son of Living For The City on first hearing. The following two numbers fail to really capitalise on the opening salvo, NO GOOD LUCK has promise despite horrible keyboards. NOTHING BUT THE BEST has survived the journey from Garth Rockett but comes aver a little on the corny side lyric wise and soon runs out of steam. LIVING ON BORROWED TIME has some cracking vocals, which ought to have dominated the track. Instead the rather bombastic sections tend to overpower it.
    • LOLITA has a weary chorus line and comes from the Coverdale song book – pass! The second side also has its ups and downs. NOTHING TO LOSE just fails to make it, very empty sounding in places. LONG & LONELY RIDE is, despite some more annoying synth work, one of my favourites. Surely a likelier single choice than those used? The vocals are way ahead of the backing in places. LOVE GUN finally sees them letting rip a little, a real touch of Gillan magic. BRAZOS? Think I’ll stick with the Moonshiners video version. They’ve been unable to resist tinkering with it, losing the essence of the early version I heard in the studio. On the whole most people’s reactions have been very positive.
  • MusicHound Rock: The Essential Album Guide. Visible Ink Press. 1999. p. 323.
    • 1 out of 5
  • Naked Thunder Review by Gary Hill
    • The term “rock legend” certainly applies to Ian Gillan. Fronting such bands as Deep Purple and Black Sabbath over the years, he has proved that he has an incredible voice and has been a very influential force in the rock genre. This solo album features both his incredible vocal talents and some fine songwriting. The material varies from hard rock that feels a bit like Deep Purple to more balladic sort of works. In fact, one of the ballads on the disc is an incredibly emotional piece that is one of the best cuts on the CD.

    • Hey Nate! Hope you’re doing well! Gotta be honest, I was laughing at John’s Jennifer Coolidge impression then was sold on the random painter calling to check in on the 911 alert. I Recently just got a good pay bump at work and seeing as all I do is listen to podcasts at work for 8-12 hours a day I have you guys to thank for my pay bump by keeping me occupied (and laughing) also felt fitting to upgrade on one of my favorite album episodes.
