Theatre Organ: Flight of the Bumble Bee

[taxi7676]

this is really bad. fake organ and bad performance. carol williams is much better

[zingoz230]

Dr. Carol Williams is better, sorry.

[thesonofBeethoven]

@zingoz230 no... cameron carpenter is better

[Corcoancaoc]

If Mr Perko learned to use his heels more, he could play this song even faster :)

[PeronMiles]

cool

[princessbobo910]

WOW! That's incredible!

I can never imagine to use my feet to play chromatic scales or anything songs, especially "Bumble bee".

How talented you're!

You made me love organ from now on!

5*

Bo Bo ^ v ^

[M3town3]

Can you play something beautiful by The Beach Boys?

[jamez123123]

HOW!!!?

[lihplom]

You could probably tour with Riverdance! But then there'd be no organ music.

This was very good! Thanks for posting.

[BobbieandSteveDooley]

Unreal!

[mortson978]

The pedal work is good, but the sound is less than ideal. He should have stuck to the end format, in which he uses the pedals as accompaniment, and plays the main melody on the manual.

[Brandotuomikoski]

I love the ending. SO LOUD then all of a sudden extreamly quiet and soft!

[Jostanos]

BRAVO! EPIC WIN! FLAWLESS VICTORY! ^__^

Your feet had wings, amigo, I could barely see them going across those pedals. ^^

Keep on playing!

[zippylad77]

Hector Olivera even! I've just noticed his performance is also on You Tube

[tjugofyra]

Hector Olivieras performance is almost twice as fast as this...

[zippylad77]

No disrespect to this organist who is truly sensational, but I have heard this arrangement of "flight of the Bumble Bee" arranged for the pedals once before played by Hector Oliveros, and his rendition was awesome by comparison. He is the one organist whose feet seem to have wings!

[SixtySpecial56]

When I play the pedals, I have to take my shoes off, LOL!

[m173627]

just hilarious

[craigkeller1966]

Fantastic footwork. An inspiration to anyone who wants to see how to do great pedal work.

By the way, for the cynics or critics, until you have heard one live, or better yet played a theatre organ (Wurlitzer, Compton, Christie et al) it is difficult to understand and appreciate the sound and the feeling of being in the building that the instrument is installed in. A rumbling 32 foot bottom C on the pedals is a force to be felt!

[brutlcowboy]

Do y'all have any idea how few people in the world have the ability to play the theater organ? Much less play such a complicated piece with your FEET!

[oakberry61woohalol]

But I play trumpet.

[oakberry61woohalol]

Critic.

[woodyinthemiddle]

By the way oakberry61woohalol,do you actually play an instrument or are you just a critic?

[woodyinthemiddle]

Amazing!

[oakberry61woohalol]

They don't have silent movies anymore.

[Yearago]

awesome. just awesome!

[oakberry61woohalol]

They have diffrent sounds of the orchestra in it instead of pit orchestras.

[snuffie601]

woaw watch just that feetplaying on the pedals amazing

[Belgologies]

See Cameron Carpenter and his Revolutionsetüde ... (More than) Very good also !

[buggy732]

AWESOME!!!! and i agree, theatre organs are thier own "beast". you just HAVE to see one in real life to understand.

[Organsk8er]

"real" organs? Well...a theatre organ is kind of a " beast" all its own...originally intended to accompany silent movies, as a replacement to the theatre's symphony orchestra. So, to compare them to a classical organ is a little unfair, it's a creation all its own :)

[oakberry61woohalol]

NO offence But i think Theater organs sound Weird They don't sound like real organs. have you heard about the wurlitzer in blackpool tower ballroom.

[jmcandea]

A Wurlitzer is a Theater Pipe Organ. Pipe Organs came before the electronic.

[oakberry61woohalol]

sounds just like a pipe organ.

[woodyinthemiddle]

You are to concerned with the device and not giving any credit to the player!

[hottrodscars]
