Deep Purple: Mark II (1969–1973)
On June 7 and 12, after the audition, Gillan and Glover took part in recording a cover of the song Roger Greenway and Roger Cook called "Hallelujah", conceived by the first line-up of the band and Derek Lawrence (producer of the first three albums). At the end of the recording of the single, the question of a new line-up Deep Purple has been resolved definitively.
In the history of the band Deep Purple began the "golden" era of Mark II, consisting of: Richie Blackmore - guitar, John Lord - Hammond electric organ, Ian Pace - drums, Ian Gillan - vocals, Roger Glover - bass guitar.
And already in July, after short rehearsals, their first European concerts took place, where the old repertoire from previous albums was performed.
On September 24, 1969, the "blue" dream of the band's organist (with art-rock ambitions) came true John Lord, who has been composing the scores of the "Concerto for Band and Orchestra" since spring. The concert took place at the Royal Albert Hall in London, together with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
The song "Child in Time", the lyrics of which were written by Gillan, was also performed for the first time at this concert. The playwright Tim Rice, who heard Gillan's unique vocals, invited him to perform the main part Jesus in the original recording of the rock opera Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Jesus Christ Superstar", which later became iconic.
Later, John Lord decided to repeat the success, and at the request of the managers wrote a continuation of the theme of the classic rock piece in the form of "Gemini Suite", recorded live on September 17, 1970, with the participation of the Mark II band.
Recording of the first studio album of the line-up Mark II and the fourth in a row of the band - "Deep Purple in Rock", took place from October 1969 to April 1970
On the album "In Rock", all the musicians showed all their capabilities by creating a heavy aggressive sound: Blackmore masterfully improvised on an overloaded guitar, Lord experimented with his instrument (connecting his Hammond organ to a Marshall guitar amplifier), Glover and Pace created a deafening rhythm section, and Gillan demonstrated powerful (tower-demolishing) vocals of a wide range.
