The Vox Organ was a keyboard that reigned supreme when The British Invasion hit full force here in America. Most of these songs the keyboard 🎹 player “Knocked most of these songs out of the ballpark”. I’m Crying 😭 he certainly did justice to this particular song 🎵. Thanks for the way you played these songs. You deserve a thumbs 👍 up.

[@greatestmusiclive6175]

This is the best person on KZbin who plays the closest to the original Animals sound. Respect, really, really good.

[@jsanta55]

I still have my Vox Continental my brother bought for me almost 60 years ago! love still sounds great and retro cool!

[@bougarti]

there is something so unsetling and raw about the sound of this organ, love it!

[@bigbadbillb]

Aw, man...I'm so jealous! I've wanted one of these Vox organs since I was a teenager. Sweet. Awesome job on these demos, too. Love the Animals. ❤

[@Mickeysdelicatecare]

Hey wow, this medley was super fun to listen to, crazy nostalgic too. Young Jagger here played it all so effortlessly, very smooth

[@ORANGE32755]

[@jeffduggan387]

Form a 60s group immediately! Sounds great!

I would not mind having one of those in my stack. Would give me some nostalgic abilities.

[@robinmiller7958]

Those are some cool organ parts.

[@danawilliams334]

OMG! And it sounds almost exactly how it did when Ellen Price played it! I'm getting the chills just hearing that. I appreciate it even more now than ever.

[@heli-crewhgs5285]

Err…it was Alan Price, not Ellen Price.

[@captdavec590]

I own one as well. Ray Manzarek of the Doors used it on their first two albums.

[@justincanton]

Cool vid and keyboard skills. I would love to get myself a continental some day. The spooky energy that lives inside the sound it makes is awesome.

[@timothysobina6777]

Very vintage!! Gotta love the sounds of the Vox. I see when he isn't playing he must be out golfing? Nice! Keep playing these awesome songs of the 60's era! I tip my hat to your keen interest in keeping these good 'ole tunes alive! Thank you!! 🎹

[@nate7393]

Nice man, just watching this video again since your probably the ONLY one who can actually play these classics by The Animals, playing them right that is. I should learn some of The Animals but Alan Price is just a it too hard for me to play. That fast playing is something i struggle with. Awesome job though!

[@LiamEnea]

Thank you so much man! I love your playing, Alan Price just does a lot of blues riffs that sound complicated but are easier than they look lolol

[@jamesguitar2006]

I absolutely love the sound of the vox continental, especially on the animals songs and you nailed it here! If you don’t mind me asking how much was your vox organ and are there any affordable keyboards you would recommend to get a similar sound?

[@abdellahchaker4110]

At Last.. I'm looking for this, can you make another video on "house of the rising sun" full version 🙌

[@LiamEnea]

Thank you so much, Thomas! I’m working on miming to a track of the recording, but if you go to my video “The Animals - 1960s Covers,” my full cover of the song is on there!

[@morrisputman8592]

you've done it so awesome! but are you planing on making making any tutorials on the songs? i would love to learn your work by paper sheets or just thru a youtube tutorial :)

[@phlattgetit]

The most authentic Animals sound I've heard!!! Would you be kind enough to tell us the drawbar settings and amp settings you are using? I think you are using the same setting on every song?

[@LiamEnea]

Thank you so much, man! On every song, the 16’ drawbar is fully extended. The 8’ drawbar is usually at 6, and the 4’ drawbar is either closed or at 2. The IV drawbar, however, I adjust based on the song, as it most influences the organ’s shrill tone. For example, on “House” or “Misunderstood,” the IV drawbar is at a 6. But for “Bring It on Home to Me,” and “We Gotta Get Out of this Place” the drawbar is pushed in, with the 4’ at half way. For the sine and sawtooth waves, I usually keep the sine fully way extended and adjust the sawtooth as an internal volume based on the amp I’m running through. I think the airy motif of The Animals’s sound on a Vox Continental, along with The Doors, is keeping the 4’ drawbar closed or barely open. On the tube amp, a Fender Super Champ X2, I mic’d it with a single dynamic microphone to the mid-ring of the cone on a low volume (3), with treble and bass at ten. This amp, unfortunately, does not go to eleven. Lol. The organ is running clean into the amp and I placed no effects on it. All the reverb heard in this recording is artificial; I mixed it in Audacity. The built-in DAW reverb I used had the “Stereo” feature tuned to 100% along with “Room Size” at 85% and a host of other high settings to help give the relatively tinny organ this larger sound. I’m so glad you enjoyed this!!

[@phlattgetit]

@@LiamEnea Thank-you,thank-you for taking the time to give all this detail. It's priceless info. Most people seem to set their Connies with all drawbars full out. I've been watching your other videos. You have a real feel for the Vox. I hope you keep playing.

[@stupendousmusic4190]

Very nice! Is it English, or Italian made?

[@LiamEnea]

Stu Pendous Music Thank you! The Vox is an English model.

[@bretsutherlandsterriblemem8439]

gonna have to try and find myself a Continental for a decent price, and not one of those fancy new ones i can’t seem to understand

[@waltertomaszewski1083]

What kind of mic is that?

[@protectionman]

Can you do an overhead shot of the keyboard so I can see all the notes you are playing? Kind of tough from the side. And a shot of the drawbars.

[@1fan164]

Does the Vox have vacuum tubes. I heard you have to let it warm up 30 minutes before you play it??

[@LiamEnea]

Transistor organ sir!

[@Starryvang]

Amazing!!!! What type of amp do you connect it to??

[@kentaccordionist]

What drawbar settings are you using for house of the rising sun?

[@LiamEnea]

Hey man, I set the organ to: 16’ - Fully extended 8’ - 6 4’ - 2 IV - 3

[@kentaccordionist]

@@LiamEnea Thanks a lot.

[@ineedstuff8286]

so these instruments were never velocity sensitive were they?

[@blindpink]

Any chance of "I'm gonna change the world"...???

Ah man, I wish I did that one! I am thinking about making a part two to this video and will include that!!

[@zikihowdreams2073]

Cuanto cuesta un órgano así??

[@andr771kbngl]

Hello,i have the same vox,I would like to know the real cost because they valued it only 500€.Thanks

[@LiamEnea]

Hi! I would evaluate it at about four times that amount depending on condition. These are really cool instruments!

[@andr771kbngl]

@@LiamEnea thanks. Where can I see the price of the organ on the internet? Because it is very rare and I can't find it. Does the price start at least 1500 €?

[@LiamEnea]

And Di I would look on Reverb.com or eBay! That sounds like the right price, but I would go higher. Can you make a demonstration video for KZbin?

[@LiamEnea]

And Di I would look on eBay or Reverb!

[@jsanta55]

$2,000 for a good one. The one he is playing does have a few lower notes with out full throated sound. Needs repair of transistors. There is a guy in PA that can fix that.
