The extended solo Jon Lord plays after "Space Truckin" ends on "Made in Japan". After that i mostly like jazz solos from guys like Larry Young and Jimmy McGriff.

^ yes, but I was referring to the section after the pipe organ when everyone kicks in and he solos before the vocals starts again, that part sounds like he's playing a Hammond. No?

Wakeman's solo was recorded on the pipe organ at St.Giles-without-Cripplegate church in Barbican.

I consider that solo to be Wakeman's greatest moment EVER!

Not sure if he plays a Hammond but Wakeman's solo on Close to the Edge comes to mind. 
 (When the band kicks in again at the end, not the church organ solo. )

Somebody's probably started a thread on this topic before, but if so, it's well worth resurrecting:

What are some of your favorite prog-based Hammond Organ performances?

Two of my favorites that never fail to thrill me, no matter how many times I hear them, are Rod Argent's solo on "Hold Your Head Up", and Steve Winwood's performance on Traffic's "Every Mother's Son".

A non-prog performance really worth mentioning is Garth Hudson's solo on the Band's "Chest Fever".
