Not a B3. I think it was a Vox Continental or maybe a Farfisa. But still very cool

I have a live recording from High Sierra Music Festival in 2001 or 2002. It was an afternoon session with about 50 people inside the one building on-site. Three B3's with Leslie's in the same room, at the same time! I'm pretty sure it's never been done before (at least not where a recording is available).

It was amazing - Robert Walther, Dave Pellicharo, and Melvin Seals! Along with a basist and drummer it was the most amazing thing I heard all weekend, and the best part is that I snagged a copy of the show - there was ONE guy recording the thing. They just spent about 2 hours just jamming!

The "radio" soundtrack in Nick Park's "Wallace & Gromit in The Wrong Trousers" (1993) certainly qualifies.

whenever i think of a b3 i think of a couple of things. one time i filled in for jimmy ponder in a neighborhood organ trio joint. cindy blackman was the drummer. now that was fun.

another thing i think of was when i was in stowe vt playing at this place with an elevated stage, watching a band have to lift the thing up to the stage (about 5 feet) and then bring it back down afterwards.

and of course playing with dr john.

I'm certainly older than you. I was a senior in high school. Technically still a kid. "I am not one of you, but I'd like to make you one of us. All you have to do is just wissen to my wums." Laugh out effin loud.

Any early stuff by Boston? Don't know if that's a Hammond or not, though.

Billy Preston's work on the Stones' "I Got The Blues"

And yes to the Boston, BTW, all of Boston is early stuff.
