Virgil Fox - Heavy Organ - Live at Winterland San Francisco (1971)

Virgil Fox - Bach Live At Winterland (1971)

  Imagine a huge concert hall filled with hippies all tuning in to the live organ vibes of Bach skillfully played and narrated by my all time fav organist Virgil Fox.  The back of the vinyl album is worth noting with it's oil blobbed Pablo Light Show that apparently illuminated the walls while Virgil played.   I own 2 vinyl copies and the remastered CD version of this great live album and would recommend this album to everyone...yes even you !  Sinfonia (Cantana No. 29) is for me the highlight of this album which soars to the heavens and i think goes someone that we will never know........at least not yet !   Played on a good stereo the bass pedal work will hit you right in the gut and you will never forget this gem !
