He created the sound by putting it through the Marshall speakers.

Deep Purple "Space Truckin'" Isolated Organ Track - Bobby Owsinski's Music Production Blog

Hear Deep Purple's hit like you never could before when you listen to Jon Lord's isolated Hammond organ track from the song.

I genuinely like that song with the line "a shandy bass in ladies' glass".

Mr Reid - my primary teacher in 4th year junior school.

Played a great hymn and carols at Christmas in the school assembly.

Greg Philinganes. Absolutely tremendous when he played the Falling in Between tour with Toto a few years ago.

Prefer his version of Behind the mask to Clapton's as well!

Taken a while to get to Don Airey - Sunderlands finest!

Minchin

Nail on head here.

Most people think good is virtuoso. Playing solos.

It should be how you contribute to the song.

Sometimes that means not playing at all.

Haway man. Anyone can not play keyboards on a song. That doesn't make them great.

They have to know when and when not to play, granted, but to be truly "the best" they should be able to do the virtuoso stuff when necessary.

It's all well and good being able to play something subtle and easy to play that fits with the song, but if they can't play the difficult stuff as well then they aren't "the best" keyboardist. That label would go to someone that can play the subtle and easy stuff when the song needs it but also be able to pull off the most difficult stuff too when the song needs that.

That perfectly describes Jon Lord!
