  • Hasn't anybody watched this right though? MIDI is a wonderful thing. I loved it - 5*. A real two fingers to the snobby organ mob. We need more.

  • It was like a joke, and we played this piece as an encore to show the audience what MIDI could do. We pretended we were playing, but we actually did not play any notes at all.

  • midi on a real organ!!!! lol!

  • I did wonder how much was midi. I've tried playing along with midi...maybe if I could actually play it would have been better;-)

    It's a great joke - keep posting.

    Merry Christmas

  • Here we go, here we go, here we go; here we go, here we go, here we gooo; here we go, here we go. Here we go, here we go, here we go; here we go, here we go, here we goooooo!

  • Wonderful!!!

  • Very enjoyable - full marks for cheek!

  • You know, if you have midi playing...you would not literally be playing. You could pull all the crap out and not even touch a single key. I myself enjoyed it. Becuase I think humor in an organ concert is what we need every now and then.

  • it was.

  • is two people are playing this (granted its a recording) it should be better than carpenters version because they have 4 feet and 4 hands to work with,,, he owned this with 2.

  • Good god! If you're going to use a MIDI player couldn't you get a better recording than THAT?? Apart from the bizarre registrations, it would be nice if rhythms and articulation were played correctly. Comparing this crap to Carpenter is simply insanity.

  • this is not them at all, watch the feet, it doesnt match up!

  • It takes 2 of them to produce a totally inferior piece of playing to what Mr Carpenter can achieve on his own. It lacks depth, maturity and stature. No comparison. However, I wish I could play that well.

  • as always.. amazing.
