Former
DEEP PURPLE keyboardist
Jon Lord played three Russian concerts earlier this month October — in Moscow, St. Petersburg and Yekaterinburg.
The shows were
Lord's first solo appearances in Russia, and they featured the
Concerto for Group and Orchestra with a selection of
Lord's solo pieces plus a couple of
DEEP PURPLE songs — all performed by
Lord with local orchestras.
Between the three concerts,
Jon Lord travelled some 2,800 km within Russia.

Lord's visit to the country can be viewed below.
