00:00Please give your love and support to my fellow chaps up here on the drums, Pontus Engborg.
00:13He's a lovely, lovely young man.
00:16From Los Angeles, please give up our guitar, Jeff Coleman.
00:24Love you, Jeff.
00:25And some Australian fellow I met in 2006 and fell in love with, in my opinion, one of the greatest keyboard players.
00:37In fact, probably the greatest keyboard player I've ever had today.
00:39Lachie Galway.
00:47So I want to play with these guys.
00:49As it was an honor to reach and play and perform these, uh, these songs that were written all those years ago.
01:00It's a thing that, um, I never thought I'd ever do a show like this.
01:04And, um, well, you never can say never because it just never happens to everyone.
01:09So I just want to give you a little story about this next song.
01:12Uh, I was, um, having an early morning cognac with, uh, Mr. John Lord.
01:22Well, it was okay to drink, aren't you?
01:29Brandly okay to drink.
01:33Three o'clock in the morning.
01:34Just me and I, in a recording studio in Munich, Germany.
01:40And we were making an album called Conte's The Band with our band, Deep Purple.
01:43John used to love cracking jokes.
01:53But this next thing he, uh, came up with was no joke for me.
01:57He started to play these chords.
01:59These, as you will hear in a second, these chords that made me breathe a little different.
02:06Made me stand a little different and made me feel, uh, it was just one of those moments in everyone's life.
02:16And I'm sure you've had them or you're going to have them.
02:19I hope you have a moment like I had when I, uh, wrote this song with John at three o'clock.
02:26One lovely, lovely morning in the summer of 1975.
02:31I love you, John. I know you're with us. We love you. You are loved.
02:44Again, Sidney, I want to thank you for your love and support.
02:48God bless all of you.
03:01Come on the throne, hands in arms.
03:08Now you face the crying and we'll hear a vow.
03:16The Whenpass will never be the same.
03:20We'll never be the same
03:30I've turned all over one night today
03:36There's no space, there's no rain
03:41The same surprise, there's no time to hear you in the sun
03:53As I look around again
03:59And I'm so jealous of how you are
04:03See the flowers, the flowers, the flowers, the flowers, the flowers
04:08It's time
04:14It's time
04:20So we'll never be the same
04:25We'll never be the same
04:33The world around us in the hands of God
04:38At this time we will hear about
04:44The past calls will never be the same
04:50To love us, we're not to blame
05:02There's no mistakes, there's no way
05:08The sins around us, it's good
05:13Here and there
05:17It's time
05:20As I look around
05:24I can't
05:26About solutions
05:29I will bother
05:30See you tell us
05:32Thomas, please don't listen to me
05:36It's time
