where is this video from ? Is it from a dvd ?? Please help thanks.

[FailedMuso]

It's from the Classic Album TV series, and yes, it's available on DVD

The synth he was using to filter the organ was an EMS VCS3, aka Putney. The filter is being controlled by an LFO, set either to a sine or triangle wave.

@Desmaad well, I think he just said the LFO shape was an S/H. And it def. sounds like S/H.

@hotelmario510 The "YEAHHH" came at the end.

@Mojomatrix you will like it, I think. Stevie is a funny dude, great wit. He plays the drum track for I Wish live for the camera , wow ! The bassist is filmed doing I Wish as well , a bad ass player. I hope you find it, its great !

@lilnetty2 I need to check that Stevie Wonder out. Netflix has all of the Classic Album series. I recommend The Grateful Dead's "Anthem to Beauty"

Musical archaeology, love it! 1970 seems so far, far away, in rock terms... Thanks for posting.
