Unfortunately, the original “Concerto for Group and Orchestra by Jon Lord” has been released both cut and sometimes horribly asynchronously.
Not even the death of the Maestro has been used as an opportunity to release a remastered version of this legendary master piece.
To be honest: that´s a shame!
It took me a pretty long time to equalize the slightly different speeds of CD and DVD, to find suitable scenes to fill especially the missing parts of Movement I (almost 4´18´´) and Movement III (almost 2´43´´) and then finally to put it all together synchronously as far as possible. Due to the fact that for most of Ian Paice´s drum solo in Movement III there is no video material yet I decided to use stills instead of editing.
So, and as far as I know, for the very first time here is the entire “Concerto” on video.
I hope you enjoy it like I do.
And of course I still hope for a speedy and professionally remastered official release on BD!
