Anaxagoras -> John Lord RIP (7/16/2012 8:50:02 PM)

Sad news today that John Lord has died of cancer http://jonlord.org/2012/07/16/jon-lord-has-sadly-passed-away/

He was best known as the keyboard player with Deep Purple, as well as a leading creative force within the band, e.g. he composed their innovative "Concerto for Group and Orchestra" fusion of classical and rock.

"Child in Time" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-o4-9toOBEI - one of the great Deep Purple anthems.

"Lazy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPM6ni4bQzc which shows off Lord's classic Hammond C3 electric organ sound.

I am stealing this from Kana, who posted it on the musical clarity thread.

The emotion that they put in to their music blows me away.

RIP

I loved that band. Snuck in to see them live once when it was sold out.

Hey, someone actually reads my posts!
And even listens to the videos.
I am A-Stunned and B-Ecstatic.
Thx. I'm never sure if I waste my time posting there...:-)

Here is pretty much the complete Concerto For Group And Orchestra performance with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra from 1969 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Od95KRjPat0 which Lord largely wrote. It is supposed to be the first such fusion of a rock band and a full orchestra at a concert. Not sure it completely works as rock and classical fusions are very difficult if not impossible to pull off well but its still a nice listen overall with some very nice passages. Apparently the score got lost!

BTW its a "d’oh" moment, after reading Delilya’s post I realised its “Jon” rather than “John”. Never noticed that before for some reason.
