I challenged Geoff to play a number of songs 'off the cuff' without any notice or sheet music. This was one of the song challenges! Geoff Downes from Yes and Asia playing Toccata on the Grand Organ at the Sydney Opera House.

With 10,000 pipes, it is the largest mechanical-action organ in the world. You should have heard this in person and on such a massive organ. Very impressive.

    Missed a couple of notes, but good over all. Missing E. Power Biggs.

    Hi James - thanks for you comment. We were just playing around on the day - it's not meant to be note perfect. I fired the song at Geoff as a challenge to see if he remembered the intro.

    Bach rules! ... Goeff has to practice a little bit more, but he is a great keyboardist and composer for sure!
