Jon Lord's Dream

TotalRock reports: 
"Former Deep Purple keyboard master Jon Lord has told TotalRock that he would like to get together every living member of Deep Purple for a one-off event. This would happen in front of an invited audience on a soundstage and would see virtually every incarnation of the band doing a few numbers, which would be filmed. And Lord believes this to be feasible. Wanna know more? Tune in to Doom & Co. on Saturday, August 24 for a Deep Purple special."
Thanks to
TotalRock for the information.

Concerto For Group and Orchestra

The DPAS reports: 
The release date for the fully remixed and remastered editions of the original Sept. 24. 1969 "Concerto" is... Sept. 23. 2002! There have been some alterations to the various editions, and the Sir Malcolm Arnold piece will only be on the DVDA and SACD versions. However SACD does have some backwards compatibility and you will be able to play this on your existing CD machine. The full list of editions is:

DVD - The film of the show, with just the Concerto on (the band were not filmed). There is no VHS edition scheduled.

DVDA - Audio only. Remixed 5.1. Malcolm Arnold's 6th Symphony, the Deep Purple set (Hush - Wring That Neck - Child In Time), the Concerto For Group & Orchestra, the Encore (a shorter version of the third movement). 

Double SACD - Audio only. Remixed 5.1. As above. You can play the audio from this on your CD players but won't get the 5.1 sound.

Double CD - Remixed. The Deep Purple set (Hush - Wring That Neck - Child In Time), the Concerto For Group & Orchestra, the Encore.
Thanks to the
DPAS for the information.
