4, 1971, Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention were playing a gig at the Montreux casino. The lakeside Swiss town of Montreux was in the news this week as the host of nuclear talks between Iran and six world powers.īut for rockers of a certain age, Montreux will always be best known for its rich musical history - including the roaring casino fire that inspired the English rock band Deep Purple's classic "Smoke on the Water." The casino caught fire during a Frank Zappa concert.

In early 2001, two similar concerts were also performed in Tokyo, and were released as part of the Soundboard Series box set. The concert also featured songs from each member's solo careers, as well as a short Deep Purple set, and guest musicians such as Ronnie James Dio, the Steve Morse Band, and Sam Brown. With the help of Marco de Goeij, a fan who was also a musicologist and composer, the two painstakingly recreated the lost score, and Lord elected to have the band perform it once more at the Royal Albert Hall, but this time with the London Symphony Orchestra rather than the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and with Paul Mann as conductor rather than Malcolm Arnold. The album was a project started in 1999 by keyboardist Jon Lord, who sought to recreate the band's innovative 1969 album, Concerto for Group and Orchestra, of which the original score was lost. In Concert with The London Symphony Orchestra (also cited as In Concert with The London Symphony Orchestra Conducted by Paul Mann) is a live album and DVD by the British hard rock Deep Purple, recorded on 25–26 September 1999 at the Royal Albert Hall in London with the London Symphony Orchestra, and released on 8 February 2000 on Eagle Records.
