Notes:

Another release in the Soundboard Series is expected on August 13, 2021 — Live in London 2002. This show, from February 22, 2002, at the Hammersmith Apollo in London, is infamous for a couple of reasons.

First, it was the last show that Jon Lord played with the band from start to finish. He submitted his letter of resignation the same night. He did appear with the band afterwards as a special guest, most notably on the autumn 2002 UK dates that were rescheduled from earlier in the year.

Second, the show was essentially an instrumental one. There was a virus making rounds through the band in that tour. That night it was Gillan’s turn to succumb to it and for all practical purposes he lost his voice. There were attempts to sing here and there, but not terribly successful.
