@@pfightingpolish I don't know if theres a recording of the anthem itself (without crowd noise and Wayne singing) but here's what it sounded like. I was simply pointing out that what you're hearing is not the pipes in the ceiling of the old barn. czcams.com/video/iBKYeuEjXjE/video.html
@@JAYZIGGY5 The problem with a recording that has echo is, if you use it in a venue that adds echo, it makes the sound so muddy that it's untenable. One gym I do music in is basically a basketball court surrounded by four walls of cinder block. The stands only seat 300 people on one side. As it is, there's a lot of sound bounce in there, so the drier the source, the better. An echoy recording in there would be a disaster; even dry recordings get hard to hear because of the acoustics. Accordingly, I love this for that sort of use. I'm not trying to replicate Chicago Stadium, per se. I want a good, high quality, low-reverb organ anthem with quality timing and a rich sound that can be used at venues with a variety of acoustics. It's hard to find a sound with as many ranks as the legendary Chicago Stadium Barton could power. As far as I'm concerned, for what I want, this is perfect. I'm not trying to "be there." I want a good sound I can use elsewhere.
@@pfightingpolish That's fine, I understand that. The point of my original comment was that the organ you're hearing is not the one mentioned in the title of the video.
woohoo, memories I don’t have
Al melgard..would play this befor all events as i remember..as should be..
This is not the Chicago Stadium organ. It's the console, but this was not recorded in the stadium. The stadium had a much greater echo.
Fine by me. I would rather have the non-echo version. I will use this now for some of the games I work.
@@pfightingpolish The Stadium organ sounded much better than this. Guess you had to be there.

And now, please rise and remove your hats as Al Melgard performs our national anthem.
It’s Al Melgard at the mighty stadium organ
