Your Favorite Rock Organ or keyboard playing
« on: 23 Apr 2022, 12:27 am »
   Aside from Keith Emerson from ELP who is the greatest keyboardist in the rock genre. What are some of your favorite keyboard/organ playing?

I'll start:
Black Licorice- Grand Funk, Caught in the Act
Hey Joe- Deep Purple
Breakthrough- Atomic Rooster, In Hearing of Atomic Rooster
Supertramp Live in Paris- the whole concert
Space Truckin- Deep Purple, Made in Japan

It's hard to beat Greg Rolie's playing on the first three Santana albums
I've also always loved John Evans playing on Tull's Thick as a Brick
