Gemini Suite Live is a recording of Jon Lord's classical/rock piece Gemini Suite featuring the original Mark II band lineup of Deep Purple, recorded live during this one and only live performance in 1970. A follow up to their "Concerto" Project, it featured five movements for the individual members of the band, including a guitar piece from Blackmore.
Jon was thus free to go ahead and complete it. Jon had already worked out a theme for the new piece. He wanted to write six movements, one for each member of the group, and a finale featuring everyone. The solo movements would be given the name of the members' birth-signs, and in them Jon would try to reflect their personality and style of playing. It was probably not an easy work to write. On one hand he enjoyed doing this sort of thing, but on the other hand, he now knew that the band were not all so happy to participate. Added to this, there was even less spare time in which to work, as the band were into 1970, their busiest year so far, and so Jon had to write most of it while they were on tour. One girl told us that she saw the almost finished score in a seedy hotel in America.

Jon tackled it differently to the Concerto. Instead of ploughing through it all at once, and revising it afterwards, he wrote this one in small sections, revising each bit at a time. It was finally broadcast on Sept 17th 1970, almost a year after the Concerto. The performance took place at the Royal Festival Hall, with the Light Music Society Orchestra, conducted by Malcolm Arnold. Like the Concerto, it was preceded by another work - Gershwin's Rhapsody In Blue (though I don't know if any of the band took part it that), The broadcast was live - only the Gemini Suite (as it was titled) being put out - from 9.10 pm to 10 pm on BBC Radio 2. There was also a live link up with Danish radio, who also broadcast it. The Gemini Suite performance lasted about 35 minutes.

While I can understand the group's wish for keeping it quiet, I think it was a great shame, as it contained some fine work. Blackmore's movement was first .It is quite simply stunning. Jon wrote a section which allowed Ritchie to incorporate the quiet solo style which appeared briefly at the end of Child In Time before the 1969 Concerto show. The orchestra part is well written and fits in superbly with Ritchie's playing. He was using the Gibson again, and the whole movement is full of atmosphere and emotion - quiet runs, lovely out of tune type jangling runs and bending notes. As you may have guessed earlier, Ritchie was one of the people who had been against the idea of doing these projects, but I guess he didn't let that prejudice him on the night. He later said he did it out of loyalty to Jon. The other member of the band who voiced his discontent with the idea was Ian Gillan - yet he too turns out a brilliant performance during his movement. Rather like his work on the Concerto, with that lovely unstrained vocal tone, he builds up near the end with a soaring screaming passage over some dramatic orchestral work - leaving you praying for more. Those two performances are the high points of the work, and rate high in my best of Deep Purple list. Paicey puts in a good solo, naturally, and by all accounts had good fun battling it out with the percussion section of the orchestra - earning applause from them, the conductor, the band and the audience. Jon's own solo is something of a let down, starting off well, but being rather over indulgent. Roger too tends to throw his part away, with some classical tunes tossed in for no reason in particular. They both made up for it in the group sections though, and in the finale.

As a whole, the work is very different from the Concerto, more modern sounding and more promising. Yet musically it isn't as strong, there are few memorable musical themes, and it sounds disjointed in places. When it does succeed, it is mainly because of the individual talents concerned, rather than the actual writing, though to be fair the accompaniment to both Gillan's and Blackmore's parts is first rate. Obviously Jon was fighting against a lot: lack of writing time, disinterest in the band, and the knowledge that he had to try and improve on the Concerto.

It isn't surprising that no album was issued of the performance, though it is a pity, because it would have been worth having just for Ritchie and Ian's spots.
Questioned at the time about the possibility of issuing a record of The Gemini Suite, Jon said that he would like to do it "sometime", but would rather concentrate on the group for the time being. Another year passed, and in the October of 1971 came the first batch of albums on the new Purple Records label. Amongst them was Gemini Suite. Jon had gone into the studio and made a recording of the work, without using Deep Purple. During the year between the live broadcast and this studio version, Jon's passion for amalgamating a group with an orchestra had lessened somewhat, and the studio version demonstrates this, for the Orchestra (this time the London Symphony Orchestra) are even more in the background than on the broadcast.
