This week, in a tribute to the dearly departed rock organ legend Jon Lord, we played the entirety of  Deep Purple's all-time classic rock LP 'In Rock' from 1970.  We then explored a range of the music he released before and after his glory days with Purple.  He was a rock and roll sonic architect, and his signature hammond growl spawned a thousand bands and a host of wonderful records...  RIP.

Here he is in 1973 in New York playing one of a million crazy solos.  Thanks for Everything, Jon!

There's no contemporary live footage of Jo Jo Gunne online, so here's some super rare footage of John and Yoko and the Mothers live at the Fillmore East in 1971:

This weeks classic album, played from beginning to end, was The Allman Brothers Band's Southern classic 'Eat a Peach', released in 1972 following the death of Duane Allman.

Here 's Duane and the band in September 23, 1970 recorded for a TV special 'Live at the Filmore East'. This footage wasn't used because Gregg Allman's mic was fried and you can't hear his vocals clearly. Nonetheless, the footage is superb and you get to hear the band in full flight.
