The master in action. Check out this gorgeous electric piano & Hammond introduction to "Lazy" recorded live in Sydney 1999. From the "Total Abandon" DVD.

RIP. Very sad as it seemed like he was on the road to recovery. I'll be spinning some Machine Head in his honor.
NME's obituary wrote:
Her co-wrote many of the band's songs, including the seminal 'Smoke On The Water' and was responsible for the legendary organ riff on 'Child Of Our Time'.
Oh for crap's sakes, at least get the name of the song right.

Damn this sucks big time. Truly one of the greats.
Like the Neil Peart of drumming. The master of his craft. Not too many keyboard players can match Ritchie Blackmore.

That killed our evening. I was out with my girlfriend, wearing my Deep Purple - In Rock shirt, then somebody leaned over and asked if i heard about Jon Lord. I asked, no why? He said he died and i couldn't believe it. I know he had Cancer (can we say that Cancer sucks?) but damn, why do all those musical legends die because of that smurf poo
