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. Aug 17

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).
