I hate the new united center I will always and forever love the og Chicago stadium

I’m a Bruins’ fan, but I love hearing “Here Come The Hawks” on the organ.

Sacrilege tearing down Chicago Stadium. I was around 13-15 and growing up near Saginaw MI in the late 80s - early 90s so I saw Eddie Belfour play for the Saginaw Hawks. After a a game, he and Warren Rychel signed a puck for me. I bought a Starter Chicago Blackhawks winter jacket as a fan even though living in Michigan and it was Red Wings country and I was a huge DRW fan I also loved the Hawks as well. Those Norris games they played back then were hockey heaven, each team had stars and fighters and it was glorious. I'm also a huge lover of organ / keyboard music, the sound of the organ at the Stadium is not able to be replicated, this is a great recording of it.

by far the best version on YT !!

Definitely the best version on KZbin! It's a pity we couldn't see him play though. Edit... I discovered his two part KZbin video Organ Imperial which is judt stunning. Interesting though that on this CD he brings out the reeds at 00:37 stronger than he does on the live performance. But both are just exceptional!

I would love to have the score, does anybody know if it was printed?I am not happy with it at some places , but sensationbal anyhow! And his virtuosity and psychomotoric abilities are demonstrated here at their best

Simply beautiful

Bravo!

The most hard rock piece I have ever heard

This recording is a real gem. Seriously, just... damn.

Curses to the city planners and The Wertz's for tearing the building down and losing the Barton organ. This was one of the stupidest moves in Chicago and American history!

This was the very first organ CD when I went to live in Amsterdam. I knew I liked church organs a lot but I did not know what I wanted to buy. So I went to this nice music store Named Concierto (it is still there) and asked what would be a good record to buy. And this is what the gentleman put into my hands. It is still one of my favorite records.

Absolutely beautiful. The sound quality gets an A+. Thank you. I can envision listening to this each day. I really miss Fred Swann. Richest Blessings to all.

This from a time when people were cultured. I believe the organ still exists in a private residence that was a converted VFW facility.

The love the 32 reed at 0:35

R.I.P Chicago Stadium 1929-1995

Thank you for posting this! Very, very much appreciated. And DO play this loud on a good sound system so you hear the low pipes! Totally gorgeous photography! Greetings from Canada!

Nice Song!

I'm from Kansas City,and I don't have a NHL Team,so I normally pick between the Canadians and Blues

That rink was so small

Nice but yes...too fast for me ; )

Absolutely beautiful!

Frank Pellico has been doing this since Patrick Kane was in Preschool.

Who is playing? This is such a musical performance and I love the registrations!

Esecuzione, unica! Immensaaaaaaaaaaaaaa🎉 Grande🌹 Grande🌹 Grande🌹 ❤❤❤

The perfect tempo! 😉❤️🎶

Sad fact: only the organ console is still around. Most of the pipes were charred in a fire.

Correction: This church is not anymore Crystal Cathedral, but CHRIST CATHEDRAL. The organ, the sound, the organist, the playing art, and everything there..., nothing els than excellence!!!

694 - bellissima musica - ciao da VALERIO !!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

When making this recording Carlo had great problems and had to redo a lot of this recording during the night and early morning as to his horror it was bastille day and they were large explosions going off.

Wow! The great Van den Heuvel organ as I've never heard it on any other recording! Carlo Curley, RIP, enjoyed playing in a sumptuous romantic style and was notably communicative with his audiences.

This has to be (in my opinion) the greatest piece of music of all time.... Some say that the Toccata and Fugue in D minor is Bach calling to God (credit to V.F. for that).... I however feel that it is this piece... the interweaving of the simple melody line spoken in every (tongue and language) that man has ever known... This piece calls to God.... God Omnipotent... God all knowing... God all loving... To play this piece takes a herculean effort and split second timing.... if the organist hesitates or should false start the piece loses its charm and charisma.... Carlo had heavenly help from the spirit of God and second V.F. who was his best friend in life.... Carlo has since this been reunited with Our Heavenly Father and his best friend Virgil Fox.... I can only imagine when Carlo stepped into the gates of Heaven and He suddenly was surrounded by Virgil Fox, Handel, Lizt and so many others....all those men saying Welcome home....

How I miss Fred. I was introduced to the glory of organ music during his time at Riverside Church. He gave us the best of this remarkable instrument. He gave his gift to the end. It will always be with us. As will Fred Swann.

In my honest opinion, this is Bach's crowning organ achievement. His life was devoted to God, and this monumental piece is so inspiring! I can only imagine being there in person when this was recorded.. Wonderful!

Grandeeeeeeeeeeeee❤ 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 ab aeterno,

“Blackhawk goal Dirk Graham…” Always wanted to go to a Hawks game there as a kid in Michigan. Loved the organ watching on TV50 in Detroit. JLA was pretty good, but Chicago Stadium gave me a taste of what the old Olympia must have been like.

Köszönjük. Szép!

Mighty reeds!

Bach's greatest work IMO. The end of this piece is 'the point of music'. Brought tears to my eyes. Magnificent.

why couldn't the new stadium be like the old stadium

I know the score says add Tuba at the end but it really is better without the addition of a loud farty PHWAAAAAAHRPP, not aurally appealing. 🙉🙉🙉

There was NOTHING in todays hockey world that exists like OLD Chicago Stadium. The organ playing Here Comes the Hawks. playing the recorded song when the Hawk's took the ice with the fans cheering was so electric. So happy I got to watch so many great Blackhawk games at old Chicago Stadium. Wayne Messmer, singing the National Anthem was ELECTRIFYING with the fans going nuts, Tony Esposito, the SSL line Savard, Larmer and Secord, such great times.

I'm 8 years old again walking into that giant building - going to see the Chicago Sting, the Bulls, the BlackHawks!!! Wow!

Great childhood memories... on Madison...

Diese Orgel verdient es das die sehr gut für die Nachwelt erhalten bleibt. In meinen Augen ist das mit das schönste Instrument, das von cavaille coll erschaffen wurde. Auch die Abteikirche besticht durch ihre Architektur und den sehr schönen Fenstern. möchte sie auch mal gern besuchen, und auch ein Orgelkonzert dort erleben.👍👍👍😀😀😀

Bartletts own Vinnie Hinostroza now a Penguin

I think the pipe organ caught fire and burned

I am a Habs fan but this sound and images give a big wave of nostalgia. Respect to our original 6 brothers, the Chicago Blackhawks
