Watch Concerto in Győr
Jon Lord’s Concerto for Group and Orchestra was performed in Győr, Hungary, on November 5, by a local orchestra with Paul Mann conducting, Bruce Dickinson singing, and Roger Glover blessing the even with his playing. The evening also included a set of Purple classics (with an occasional Beethoven tune thrown in).
The Concerto itself:
Perfect Strangers:
When a Blind Man Cries:
Ode to Joy:
Pictures of Home:
Hush (with an impropmptu call for audience participation going a bit sideways):
Smoke on the Water:
Rehearsals and news report (in Hungarian):
That was probably the first public appearance for Roger since that March 2020 gig in Mexico, was it not?
Thanks to Blabbermouth for the heads up.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
Nice to see the Maestro Jon Lord’s music being performed, thanks to Paul Mann & the Orchestra & the band of course. Enjoyed Pictures of Home, Hush & Ode to Joy ( wish it was longer), stellar playing by all. Also, thanks to the ‘authorities’ for letting Roger Glover ‘out’ for the performance. Cheers.
