i think i would also have to put Hush by Deep Purple up there, although it depends if you consider it prog or not |

Hush....welll... maybe not that song.. but take his organ work on the prog workout that had been Ike and Tina Turner's song 'River Deep and Mountain High' OMG... Lord is... severly underappreciated in many ways... not only as a player ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

My gosh, first I see that "Big Co**" topic, now "Organ Performances"? This place has gotten really puerile of late. ;) Can't think of a specific one, but Emerson sticking daggers in his organ was quite the performance. |

[QUOTE=Logan]My gosh, first I see that "Big Co**" topic, now "Organ Performances"? This place has gotten really puerile of late. ;) /QUOTE] I thought about much the same thing when I saw this thread yesterday ...Back IT, off the top of my head I can mention Emerson in "The Barbarian", anything by Jon Lord, and Rick Wakeman's at the beginning of "Seasons of Man", the fourth movement of CTTE. Ah, and David Sinclair in "For Richard", and anything by Dave Stewart. |

Peter you know Bach's organ works? Quite a miracle several centuries after his death......... Now Peter go and point at the porcelain (to borrow from Dame Edina Everidge's Aussie alt ego, Barry McKenzie in the 70's). ------------- The best eclectic music on the Web,8-11pm BST/GMT THURS.

Most songs by the Iron Butterfly feature simple yet atmospheric and original organ leads by the dynamic Doug Ingle. But if I had to choose 10 songs over all, and not just bands, then it would probably be... Tarkus - ELP - just stunning In-A-Gadda-DA-Vida - IB Tab in the Ocean - Nektar Rick Wakeman at Lincoln Cathedral - RW Karn Evil 9 - ELP Jane Seymour - Rick Wakeman Alpha Centauri - Tangerine Dream Going for the One - Rick Wakeman My Mirage - Iron Butterfly /Long Time - Boston ------------- Give him an internet applause by tapping your fingers lightly on the keyboard. -Ninja Pirate Thilo Savage |

It's amazing how few know or mention Par Lindh, the guy is simply amazing and if yu add to this that he started as Baroque Organ player with great success among the Classical community that is far mre demanding than us, seems unbelievable.
