[@namtil]

Jon Lord gets my vote for the classiest rock musician of all time.

[@danmax67]

I saw Deep Purple in the 80's. John Lord just blew everyone away. Greatest keyboard player I've ever seen. RIP.

[@jamalmohamed6592]

The greatest keyboard player in the history of Rock...RIP Lord Purple is still in good hands with Don

[@VincenzoMelis]

Bellissimo video!! Bello anche vedere il grande abbraccio fra Jon Lord & Don Airey! Gianni, hai proprio tutto quello che si possa trovare sui Deep Purple.

[@normiami]

Lord - Wakeman - Emerson, these people changed the rock in the 70's. Jon, thank you for your hammond magic.

[@donaldwinters1623]

normiami Jon Lord you are very missed

[@jamesedwards2237]

We lost Ray Manzarek about the same time as Jon. Miss them both, for their music, and their ability to speak and reminisce.

[@mityaypolov6118]

RIP- Jon Lord. The greatest rock organist of all time.

[@geneboris185]

YES

[@johnleney9541]

In tears here. Surely the most down to earth man in rock. And boy, could he play.

[@1958marky]

You are soooooo right -- he was the Walter Peyton of rock... a humble and quiet- spoken gentleman off stage and a pure keyboard monster on stage!

[@LuBlues]

*You were, are and always will be wonderful for all of us Jon! We miss you around here. The skies should be proud to have someone like you among them .. RIP dear Jon! Love you forever!*

[@NoyzyBoyZ3]

That made me very sad. The music that these people make draws you in to the point that you feel like a friend almost,any body know what I mean? I cried as if I had just lost an actual family member.The music and the musicians abilities can be a very strong emotion and I'm thankful that I can feel it. God Bless you JL and thank you for the music that was left behind for us to cherish the rest of our lives.

[@bertbrindisi4208]

I love Deep Purple,which means I love(d), Jon Lord. Thank you for posting his final piece.

[@seabud6408]

Had a chance to meet Jon when he did a public talk at a local college music department a year before he died but I couldn’t get away from work. Regardless I feel I knew him as a “friend” (as many surely do) because his music has been there throughout my life. What a player what a person and what a band.

[@Kerrmit1]

Jon Lord R.I.P......... Fantastic keyboard player, inspiration to us all. Enjoyed your music to the full. Go ahead and play to the Angels.

[@AJAndyO]

I was there! It truly was an emotional gig. Jon is one of the nicest guys in the rock biz. Thanks for all the music and the memories man!

[@arnefl5549]

I'm so grateful to have come across DP in general, and Jon Lord in particular. What a legend, what a gentleman! Rest in peace!

[@zepgen8]

so sad he had to leave us, but he is out of pain and still rockin' and composing beautifully in Heaven..God Bless You Mr.Lord..peace.

[@davidgargiulo7964]

I just now learned of Jon Lord's demise in 2012. I had forgotten how great a song "Hush," still is. What a great musician this man was. I regret losing track of his work after all this time.

[@Augmuse]

I miss Jon Lord. Thank you for all the great years with all the different members. You and the Hammond B3 will not be forgotten

[@Ashtonr62]

Not only an excellent musician but an extraordinary True English Gentleman . Dear Jon you will be deeply missed to all of us ,its a extremely sad day !

[@lehtjug]

[@kissarmy305]

10 years ago, the master left Deep Purple. Now 10 years later, the master leaves us all. R.I.P., dear Jon Lord. Good luck playing the great gig in the sky.

[@Bahrainielhob]

I really couldn't resist..until i cried..RIP Lord...Don Airey..carry on ...Deep Purple ...you are a legend

[@matthewhart6857]

[@LittleMelianna]

[@ekitannata6794]

[@camilomendozaloayza832]

Forever

[@robertovocalist]

Jon is a genius and we all know! Thanks to him, and to all his music! He leaves the keyboards in good hands! Don is another great player and Deep Purple is one of the most important bands that wrote Rock and Roll history! Personally, my favorite band! We are waiting for a new album! Cheers from Curitiba-Brazil!

[@musicalraymond]

My favourite band of all time.I`ve been following them since 1969 and thought that Jon Lord was an amazingly talented musician.His playing was inspirational to my generation of musicians but alas we will never hear him again only through the legacy of his numerous recordings. Life is so cruel and painful. I feel that an enormous chunk of my life has disappeared, never to be replaced.................. Kyrie eleison.RIP

[@carlosh.ibarra8711]

I am for ever in debt i will nevet be able to pay back for all the greatest music that you left i will always for ever love you RIP dearest jon

[@camilomendozaloayza832]

Legacy

[@barryrammer7906]

I have always loved Jon Lord hes the best that I've ever seen, and I say that with confidence. Lord, Wakeman and Emerson.

[@Jfoertsch]

A Class Act. We miss you Jon but your music will live on forever.

[@backyardrailroader]

Thru the music of Deep Purple...Jon Lord shall always live on!

[@lengthyleonard4288]

Great musician and a true gentleman. His talents will always be remembered. This man was a real musical force in every way imaginable. It's a fucking shame time takes all of us away. His sound will be missed.

[@thekerneljames]

A truly great band for all time. These guys have much talent & class. Excellent clip.

[@PingNV]

Tears here. Deep Purple was a big part of my life.

[@mf112ut]

He took a Hammond Organ, A Leslie tone cabinet (8 Leslie tone cabinets) and created Heavy Metal keyboards. We miss you Jon, I enjoyed your life. Thank you.

[@STRATCAT101]

It's a sad day,we have lost another great musician.God bless you Jon.

[@MrSnappy67]

I had no idea Jon Lord had died. This is brand new news to me. And sad news. Very glad I got to see him rock his organ a couple of times (literally!, back and forth, as anyone here can probably imagine). Child In Time & those totally psych-you-out intros to Perfect Strangers & Knocking At Your Back Door are what I immediately remember when I think of seeing him live. Heart of the band indeed.

[@1madn]

rip great man.thank you for many years of musical enjoyment,your always here in my (drum room)with my many lp's cassettes cd's dvd's and whatever they invent next i'll buy

[@toddvandell85]

Don Airey has always been a great auxilary keyboardist. Jon Lord's are some rather large shoes to fill. Jon's keyboard work is beyond legendary. He is a giant amongst many other great keyboardists. His work has always and will always be head and shoulders above just about everyone else, especially on Hammond B3 & C3. There are many great ones...but Jon was indeed truly Legendary. He will be missed. R.I.P., Maestro.

[@DCHurlford1]

His solos were always EPIC...........(RIP).

[@stevepotts80]

He joined the band onstage at Wembley Arena in 2004 for the last song (Black Knight) so this wasn't the last ever time he played with them. We were so far back though we didn't realise it was him until the next day.

[@awaken77]

Final performance was, when Don Airey already was in the band, but Jon suddenly appeared from the shadows and performed Perfect Strangers. That was so epic!

[@MrDavidrobinS]

We fans have the CDs, the DVDs, You Tube, the forums and the memories of past Purple shows. Jon will therefore always be with us. RIP maestro!

[@GorZart]

Another original trail blazer. Long live the spirit of Jon Lord.

[@dannygabutin9811]

I'm one of your avid fans from the Philippines. We've missed you Jon Lord.

[@TadDonleyofWARRIOR]

I was twelve years old when I heard "Hush". I was hooked!

[@HellbarClub]

Today is a day of sadness. I met you in 1984 and again in '86 and later on but it never got to me that we are are all mortal. Rest in absoluite peace my friend.

[@SirEarnalot]

Thanks John. Thanks. Where ever you are. When I go I´ll walk towards that Hammond sound ... And behold .. See you .. Hear you ..

[@mrbigbeatthunder]

R.I.P. Jon...you were one of the true greats!

[@VamboRoolz]

Miss that man so much. What a prodigious talent he was, and to find that kind of talent wrapped up in a package as humble and kind as Jon was is a rare, rare thing in this world. How blessed we are that we shared part of our timeline with him.

[@maddingcrowd]

I interviewed Jon Lord back stage St Davids Hall in Cardiff 1996, An absolute gentleman, legend and So so humble, Love Ya Jon RIP. I have never released the interview, Im a fan, but I should let the fans hear it.I asked questions about Slaves and Masters too!!!

[@GrimSchwede]

I guess all good things have to come to an end eventually.... Been listening to this band since I was a kid and still do to this day and still going to be....

[@IronBroadsword1]

Jon Lord, you were a truly beautiful man, you are sorely missed, even by people of my own age of 16. RIP you legend.

[@jonost24]

I'm so glad I've seen DP 3 times, the best being at Knebworth with the Perfect Strangers tour.... RIP Jon

[@VocalWorksGospelChoir]

What an amazing man - by far the finest rock keyboard player, and a truly wonderful bloke.

[@denny5831]

Unico,inimitabile. Grande Sir Jon.

[@335fusion]

Very happy to say I was there

[@monsieurd.]

Jon Lord unavoidable musician of Rock History.

[@HellbarClub]

We all have to go sometime. We all have to deal with our losses but losing Mr Lord is for me truly heartbreaking. I am truly happy for the legacy and any impact Jon might have on future musicians. Not many left now. Peace.

[@zachmcfatridge]

Made me choked up. You were and still are the best, Jon. R.I.P.

[@TheMatador51]

Он не переставал удивлять меня своим умением, талантом, скромностью, но жизнь всегда заканчивается, рождаясь вновь....

[@mikestrutter7400]

what a wonderful man and amazing band x

[@99stewy]

A legend in this own right!!!! Wot a guy!!! The best keyboard player in the world!!! R.I.P Jon. you will be mostly missed!!!!

[@foggyblues13]

such a legend!!! the band would have never been the same without him.

[@rw4273]

Innovation was key. When thinking of Deep purple I always thought of his genius first. What a great band!!

[@JohannesYtterstrom]

The right way to leave a band! Even though he left the band for well over ten years ago, been dead for a few years and Don Airey is awesome.. I still wish to see him magicly arrive just like at this show. Just to hear the crowd go crazy and hear those perfect first notes... Whichever song it might be!

[@gloriariquelme9593]

MrLovely y

[@takmagic777]

Wow...what a great moment captured on video...Jon Lord defines "Class Act".

[@MusikOgMedie]

Just heard about his passing away. Having been a fan of Deep Purple and Jon Lords music since 1969, this is a very sad day. I remember being 12 years old in 1973 and sitting on stage in Vejlby Risskovhallen in Aarhus right below Jons Hammond and being scared of him hitting me with the keyboard while playing solos. He leaned forward several times and told me to relax " I`m not gonna hit you" he said. 2.000 false tickets were sold extra and threre was no room for all the people I ended up on stage

[@MrTimodon]

Heja Danmark!

[@maurogon2011]

En paz descanse Maestro de Maestros.Mis mas grandes respetos para usted Jon Lord.La musica ya lo extraña.Dios lo tenga en la Gloria.Hasta Siempre y gracias por tantos momentos de emocion.

[@georgetempest2469]

I so wish there was some live coverage from the Plymouth Pavillions gig on this tour - as soon as Jon joined Don at the keyboards, Ian told the security guys to let people come right to the edge of the stage, I managed to shake Jon's hands at the end of an amazing gig and on the way out, Don was sitting by the public bar all by himself with a duffle bag by his feet, looking like he was waiting for a lift home... I had a really interesting chat with him - the closest I ever got to Deep Purple!

[@jamaljassin9983]

I love this band . .Jon Lord RIP , he was the king but thanks god Don Airey carried on

[@benventura1]

jon, you are still the best ever. Im your number one fan. . . we'll miss you. . B.Ventura, Laoag City, Philippines.

[@cornucopia8591]

3:31 That is the moment which makes this band unique and so beloved all over the globe. Something very unique about Purple.

[@stansnegg5005]

Thank you for the best music ever!

[@Afrikitty]

I am lost for words. What a man!

[@brianmullins8716]

if this does'nt bring a tear to the eye then you are not a true fan.......three of the most underated players in rock...jon lord...ian paice and roger glover

[@massimostivanello2374]

Thanks for this video. Goosebumps, especially when Don and Jon hugged each other at the end.

[@billmajor5339]

That will jerk a tear out of a glass eye.

[@richardclarke376]

A giant of a man and a fucking legend. RIP Jon Lord.

Thanks to all the fabulous musicians who have contributed over the years to the legacy of Deep Purple as the band that will always be remembered in rock and roll history.
