According to *****'s official website, the show's highlights included May, Jones and Paice teaming up for a rendition of Deep Purple's "Black Night," and May joining Cooper for a version of the shock rocker's classic "School's Out."  The evening ended with many of the musicians joining forces on a cover of the Deep Purple anthem "Smoke on the Water."
