The first track on the Orange Peel self-titled album from 1970 is an 18-minute song based on Hammond organ and guitar dazzling interplaying. The beginning of "You Can't Change Them All" starts mellow and lovely, then builds in intensity and psychedelic quality over time. Ralph Wiltheiß is responsible for a truly bravura organ performance in what I personally consider the best heavy-psych song of its time.

Thanks presdoug...

I've noticed a near complete dearth of any call-outs for Juergen Fritz...that's kind of sad...

My favorite of his remains "Panic on 5th Avenue" off of Old Loves Die Hard, but there are many others I could list off, "Lucky Girl" certainly included.
Thanks, Criswell; it is sad, really; the man Juergen Fritz has not lifted a finger in the direction of Triumvirat for several decades, now; he has been musically active, but only in other ways....it was his 71st birthday on March 12th....I get the feeling the man has considered Triumvirat a done deal for a very long time.. but us fans are still avidly listening to his sublime work! He has been in communication very recently with former Triumvirat singer David Hanselmann; who knows what may happen!

Rick certainly had his own unique style of playing - no-one quite stroked the keys like he did, whether it was a conventional piano, Hammond, or electronic keyboard, or whatever.

I like Richard Wright's hammond approach in Pink Floyd records. He had a lot of musicality and always served to the song.

^^ Not one of UK's better tracks (or is this supposed to be a "John Wetton solo piece")-- but it is amazing how that was cutting edge popular rock at the time, at least in Britain.   I remember Zappa being a big attraction on American late night TV round about '75 as well.

^ There are better quality videos of that on y/t. It's UK (3 peice line up) playing on BBC's The Old Grey Whistle Test back in 1979 presented by the legendary Annie Nightingale.  Man, they were so out of touch with the current trends. Wish they had stuck together, it's well worth getting the reissued CD/Audio DVD set Night after Night of them playing in Japan in 1980.

Hi,

I don't think in terms of "solos" when listening to music. As such, I do not look at some "details" as more important than the rest of the musical piece.

It has to be a part of the whole thing, and should not be "separated" ... thus ... I do not have a favorite Hammond Organ performance. I find that idea sad in relation to the name "progressive music", meaning that the players can not do anything, without it being derailed and treated as not a part of the whole piece!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Excellent thread!  

My personal favorite by Wakeman was his blistering solo on "Roundabout!" 

Let's not forget the very tasty Hammond work that John Paul Jones provided to Led Zeppelin!   Not fancy, but full of emotion and good taste!
