Deep Purple's Jon Lord discusses the classic Purple album - Deep Purple In Rock (Official Releases)
Jon Lord discusses Deep Purple's 1970 monster album IN ROCK. The small clip is extraordinary with the band on fire performing Mandrake Root. Check out this review from NME in 1970: The closing number, another old album track "Mandrake Root", featured vocalist Ian Gillan on conga drums. "Mandrake" built into a deafening strobe-lighted climax after which the only thing the group could possibly do would be to wreck their instruments. Paice kicked his drums all over the stage and Blackmore physically toppled two six-foot speaker columns over on top of his discarded guitar. It took the audience about 30 seconds to recover from their state of limp shock before giving Deep Purple a much-deserved standing ovation." [New Musical Express]
