Deep Purple & The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Malcolm Arnold – Concerto For Group And Orchestra Concerto for Group and Orchestra is a concerto written by Jon Lord with lyrics by Ian Gillan and was first performed and recorded by the English rock band Deep Purple in 1969. It was released in December 1969 as the band's first live album. Since the scores had been lost, it was performed again in 1999 with a reconstructed score. The 1969 performance was, albeit after The Nice's Ars Longa Vita Brevis (1968), among the first combinations of rock music with a full orchestra, and it pioneered other rock/orchestral performances such as Procol Harum Live in Concert with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra (1972) and Rick Wakeman's Journey to the Center of the Earth (1974).
