Can anyone find the exact audio of When You Awake Played at the begining?

[ASelinger]

@HalfBornUnicornFetus It's on Before The Flood

This clip is all about the use of the Lowery organ by someone who refused to see it as limited. It was a unique palette for Hudson's creativity, and done at a time when polyphonic synths didn't exist. At times the sounds remind of Jon Lord playing his Hammond B3 through Marshalls....but this is much cooler.

Yeah...cooler than Jon Lord. If you don't think so, someone

go ask Jon Lord. Bet he'd say so, too!

Cheers,all...peace.

Garth isn't wierd. More like Hendrix for the organ. His experimental techniques were used by others in the decades to follow, especially the synthesizer players.

@2hamboigahs He's not Jewish. His father was jewish, it needs to come from the mother's side. Furthermore his father died before he was born so he was not raised Jewish in any shape or form.

@2hamboigahs It may be a fact that he stole credit and screwed over the other guys, but saying it is because he is Jewish is absurd, small-minded and offensive... not sure you are getting that point, and that is the point that makes you anti-Semitic. I have a feeling you are either a young child who has anti-Semitic parents, or you live in some backwoods Neo-Nazi town and have never met a Jew in your life.... maybe both.

[villesville]

@2hamboigahs You are an Anti-Semitic hick. WFT does Roberton's faith have to do with the demise of the Band, clown?

[texanfournow]

Can I still be Garth?

this organ reminds me of when we used to sneak in the church, from the reception hall, and turn on the electric organ and play rock-n-roll! The elders used to get so pissed and would lock the doors to keep us out. Didn't work for long, though! Great tune, by the way:)
