Jon Lord wrote the "Concerto" back in 1969. It was first performed by DEEP PURPLE in 1969 at the London Royal Albert Hall; in 1999, 30 years later, Jon Lord re-wrote the "Concerto" and the band played it again at the Royal Albert Hall. In 2000 and 2001 DEEP PURPLE performed the "Concerto" on a world tour, with Ronnie James Dio as a special guest.
