Any one here that knows other rock bands using Hammond organ like Deep Purple (Jon Lord) used to do in the good old days?
The sounds stills amaze me (at 120dB)
There are a second Jon Lord - he is a diyaudio member here - go to #145 about

...on the way to checking whether Moody Blues played Hammond (besides the Mellotron) I found this site:
The Hammond Grounds
You may like the Moody Blues live at the Isle of Wight.

Hi There;
Try Rick Wakeman's Six Wives of Henry VIII, it's a C3 and awesome.
Genesis - Foxtrot has some great organ work as well
Badger - One Live Badger (Tony Kaye ex Yes)
ELP - Brain Salad Surgery
U.K. - Danger Money (not sure what kind of organ Jobson was playing but it's amazing)
and all of these are pretty much from the old days...
Best

A very nice and cool tune is "Melody" from the Stones album "Black and Blue". Billy Preston is playing Hammond on this tune.
This Swiss band also used a Hammond (which I once helped haul around at one of their gigs):

What made the Hammond B3 unique was that all the notes were created from tonewheels. Motor driven spinning mechanical gear-like objects that had their output detected by pickups. Little signal processing was used to form the "sound" or voice. Each key had one switch per note, depending on whether it was 8', 4 ' and so one. With so many switches per key, cleaning them could be problematic. An advantage to the Hammond keyboard was that the attack and release of the notes was faster than any other organ. Notes could be turned on/off so fast that the keyboard allowed you to play it like a percussion instrument. Many of the better players use that ability. Listen to "Hush" by Deep Purple, for example. The Leslie speaker, usually used with all B3s, added some unique abilities to the total package. Since the Leslie was a rotating speaker(s), speeding it up, slowing it down and stopping it while playing the B3 created another layer of "the Hammond sound" Usually there was a high and low speed for the Leslie. The draw bars were used to mix the harmonics for each note. Many artists changed the draw bars while playing as well.
As a total instrument, nothing has ever come close to these organs.

This thread made me think of (among others) Jerry Corbetta and some Sugarloaf tunes. I've read an essay which singled out "Green Eyed Lady" as another well known example of this B3 percussion. I believe it was a link from that big list in post #10.like a percussion instrument
