Jon Lord & Bill Bruford - Pete Yorks Super Drumming



As promised here are the Jon Lord videos from the Pete York DVD. They are pretty harmless arrangements of two movements from Jon Lord's Sarabande suite. I uploaded the videos so it's not like I'm trawling through videos on youtube and google this time.

The first video is of the second movement: Sarabande. Like I said its a kinda cheesey (and too damn short) version of the piece but youve got to love the 80's outfits. Notice the sneaky plug for Deep Purple on Lords t-shirt. Oh by the way, he's the hairy guy in aviator sun glasses. Pete York is on the gold Pearl drums in the background while Bruford is on the electric menagerie on the far right.



The next one is of the forth movement: Gigue. This ones a real slap-dash affair, with the arrangement just about holding together. The part after the drum solos kinda juts out a bit. The said drum solo starts with Pete York, recapping a few of the themes from the drum solo on the album version before leaving way for Bill Bruford. Its unfortunate you can't see Brufords eyes constantly scanning the sheet music in the google version of this video.

The session musicians were: Wolfgang Schmid (bass); Gerd Wilden Jr.(keybrds); Peter Wölpl (guitar)
