^Yeahh just impressive!
 
In other sort of things, just found an impressive organ playing performances that would be worth mentioning to share, mainly when it comes to women not just singing Wink, I think we should give some credits for this incredible blind woman:

^^^Yeah, Rachel's become well-known among proggers. I had a friend who was there when she was getting into the prog stuff. She's amazing. Just line up a bunch of her YT vids and have a ball! I think she's going to release some original material, too.

Didn't know Rachel was already that famous.
 
Talking about music for Dario Argento's films I just happened to find an amazing version of a Bach's composition played by Keith Emerson: Prelude 24 (from well tempered clavier), off the album La Chiesa, I would quite easily vote for it on the 'Other' option, even if it is not originally composed by Emerson:

Voted "Parallels" though every time I heard Yes play this in concert I never heard Wakeman or the organ cuz I was so overwhelmed by Steve Howe:  The whole song was like one continuous solo for him--played on a speed of overdrive and a volume of Eleven!

It took something to dislodge Parallels here, however The Cathedral just about does that.

Probably just my funny ways but I always thought the Parallels organ intro was just a tad too prominent for the song, good piece but it may be just a bit...er, big!

Le Orme or ELP then.

ELP.

I can't really think of to many rock/prog songs that have pipe organ at the front. However the thing that I really love about that track is Squire's bass. Probably one of his best riffs.

We now can add Floyd's Autumn '68 !! Rick Wright, man, I never thought he laid his fascinating fingers on a Pipe Organ. Full of surprises, even after his crossing over.........

Don't know in the other Prog Forums, but ELP fans here are scarce indeed - no one ever recalled Promenade as a great organ driven piece that is also worth some honorable mention in this Poll.

Great calls!  But I don't know yet any prog work of the incredible Jon Lord, as for Ken Hensley I've got to know his works as the frontman of Uriah Heep,  as well as his solo works, if you have some suggestions for me I would be grateful indeed.Smile

I really like 'The Three Fates', it's one of my favourite tracks from the first album. Smile

Piccies is INSANE Pipe Organ.
...... And Three Fates.............
But Rick Wright - nicely played as well.
One of my dreams is to churn out some basic chords on a majestic Cathedral Organ........

Sorry if it was unclear; I meant as players in the respective bands they're known for--"Lazy" and the Made in Europe version of "You Fool No One" for Lord, and "July Morning" for Hensley.

The interesting thing for me is that Keith Emerson uses actual pipe organ on that track yet its live. I assume the Newcastle City Hall had its own pipe organ or perhaps he had one assembled especially for the recording? As a fan I ought to know this. If anyone knows please 'pipe up'Wink
