Celebrating Jon Lord - The Rock Legend 'When A Blind Man Cries' Feat. Deep Purple

On April 4, 2014, some of the best-loved musicians in the world assembled at the Royal Albert Hall to pay tribute to one of the most-missed musicians of them all: Jon Lord. “Celebrating Jon Lord” will be released as 1CD – The Composer, 2CD – The Rock Legend, 2DVD, Blu-ray, Box Set and Download on September 26th, 2014 on earMUSIC.
All product configurations feature individual cover artworks.

The Box Set features – besides the Blu-ray, 1CD The Composer and 2CD The Rock Legend – an exclusive T-shirt, a two-sided reproduction of an excerpt of Jon Lord’s original, handwritten music score for “Sarabande” - signed by Paul Mann as well as a 20 page reproduction of the evening’s original show program.
On top and as a real collector’s item, the box set also includes two very special 7-inch vinyls: the first featuring the hypnotic live version of Deep Purple’s classic “You Keep On Moving” with Glenn Hughes, Bruce Dickinson, Ian Paice, Don Airey and Micky Moody and on the B-side “Soldier Of Fortune”, both taken from the 2CD – The Rock Legend.
The second 7-inch vinyl stands in the tradition of Deep Purple as it includes the band’s touching live version of “Above And Beyond” originally from the no 1 album “NOW What?!” and here included in the magic Sunflower Jam 2014 live performance – a song dedicated to and inspired by Jon Lord. The B-side is dedicated to Lord‘s “Fantasia”.

Divided in two parts – the first focused on the classical music compositions, so dear to Jon Lord, and the second featuring a crescendo of emotions going through some of his highlights as a rock musician – the concert gave fans a chance to relive Jon Lord's remarkable and extensive musical career, remembering music from Paice, Ashton Lord, Deep Purple, his later classical compositions and everything in between – all in aid for the charity organization The Sunflower Jam.
The 83-piece Orion Orchestra performed, conducted by Paul Mann and accompanied by bands and artists such as Deep Purple, Paul Weller, Glenn Hughes, Bruce Dickinson, Rick Wakeman, Rick Wakeman, Miller Anderson, Steve Balsamo and many, many more.

I have cold shivers at how amazing Ian’s vocals still are and have that authentic Ian signature tone to his voice clean as day. A true legendary vocalist.

Only 3 bands have been able to make me feel this much: Queen (w/Freddie, ) Pink Floyd (David) & Deep Purple.

Thanks for all the memories, Ian!

Jon Lord was one of the reasons why i started to love rock n roll music . R.I.P .

[jrgengilhauge]

What to say? Pure magic.. Seen them live all over the world, for 40+ years, wish i was there..

[сашаскляр-хб]

. Слушаю Дип Перпл с 70 - х.Это одна из моих любимых композиций. Сейчас звучит уже без Великого Лорда...
, ,Когда слепой мужчина плачет"... Точнее -не скажешь о бессилии, перед неумолимым временем....Чувствуется, сколько боли вложено в смысл и исполнение..
Джон Лорд, покойся с миром....

[davidbull]

one of the best performances ever by any rock band...
Thank God for Deep Purple

[jalintarhut]

Deep Purple is my favorite in my life.

[CampervanJon]

[seafox]

RIP Jon. Grew up with Deep Purple, Ian you still have it. Nigh on 50 years now... Feeling sad that we've all gone so far when days seemed endless then...what an era we all had. The best of music ever. It will never be surpassed

[ВладимирПолушкин-мо]

Вечная память ВЕЛИЧАЙШЕМУ музыканту Джону Лорду.

Deep Purple still ROCKS !! Always Will be one of my favorites.

I first discovered Deep Purple and this album in 1978/1979 at the age of 14/15. Even then Elvis, Little Richard, Chuck Berry and co were Old Rock n Roll.! Now 43/44 years later, this music is not only classic and timeless, but also still progressive.
