Concerto for Group and Orchestra is a live album by Deep Purple and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Malcolm Arnold, recorded at the Royal Albert Hall, London, in September 1969. It consists of a concerto composed by Jon Lord, with lyrics written by Ian Gillan. This is the first full length album to feature Ian Gillan on vocals and Roger Glover on bass. It was released on vinyl in December 1969. The original performance included three additional Deep Purple songs, "Hush", "Wring That Neck", and "Child in Time"; these were included on a 2002 release. This was the last Deep Purple album distributed in the US by Tetragrammaton Records, which went defunct shortly after. The 1969 performance was among the first combinations of rock music with a full orchestra, predating works such as Procol Harum Live: In Concert with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra (1972), Rick Wakeman's Journey to the Centre of the Earth (1974), Caravan and the New Symphonia (1974), Mike Oldfield's Exposed (1979), Metallica's S&M concert (1999) and Stewart Copeland's Orchestralli (2004). The original score for the concerto was lost in 1970; however, it was performed again in 1999 with a recreated score, and has been performed several times since.
