The anniversary edition of THICK AS A BRICK of
course!!
(I was responding to the email included in my
reply...unless I snipped it off! DOH!!!!)

Great Hammond on UK's "Night After Night"...supposed
to be live, but I've heard tapes of those
performances, and I'm not all that sure of its...um,
"liveness!" But screamin Hammond regardless.
FEROCIOUS!

Tony Kaye is an underrated guy...decent player with
amazing tone...THE YES ALBUM has lots of good stuff.

Another guy who is never mentioned is Neal Doughty
(Dougherty?) with REO Speedwagon. Simplistic, but
effective note choices, nice, full tone...check out
his solo on "Roll With The Changes."
