- WOW!!! Norm just bought a super cool 1959 Hammond B3 Organ with a Leslie Model 122 Speaker from his friend John in Austin Texas. This is the same year as Norm's original B3 when he used to play, but Norm took a little a vacation from playing for about 40 years. Norm says he sounds like he's playing with baseball gloves on, but we think he sounds great!!! Stay tuned, Norm also got a whole bunch of guitars which we will show you guys on the next video!!!

In my opinion the greatest musical instrument ever created. There's nothing as majestic sounding as this thing.
I totally agree with you ‼️
Amen! The foot operated bass keyboard alone! The greatest bass tone ever imo.
😂Ever?😂😂😂 You musical knowledge seems to be very slim.
Damn straight
Yes, you are right Sir, IMHO
Always wanted to hear Norm lay it down. This is better than I could have ever imagined. Boy got that soul.
Good name. And no, I won't. I have servants for that.
@Tyrone Shoelaces from the old spoof song, “Basketball Jones,” yes?
He did damn good
@@jamesthe-doctor8981 ah, another Cheech n Chong fan!
@@jimcarter6669 yessir!
The Classic from Church to the Rock stage. Just love that Leslie sound.
It's so weird to see people not know how an actual B3 works. I guess I take it for granted that I grew up playing a Hammond every Sunday in church. I had a C3 and now I think I want a full organ and leslie again 🤔
Just had a pristine 1959 Hammond M3 organ gifted to me! It’s phenomenal
А я всегда мечтал о таком😢
That was absolutely beautiful, hopefully Norm keeps that Organ. He looked so happy and in his element playing it. It also sounded amazing. Thats the joy of making music.
Keep it?! Dude, he’s gonna make a killing on it. That’s the joy of selling musical instruments.
Kinda sad you can't see joy anymore thanks to radical Dems.
Nice. It makes me glad when a classic instrument is rescued for future generations.
I have this same 1959 Cherry B3 with Leslie 122RV model. I was born in 1959 so it holds a special place in my heart above all of my other Hammond B3 organs. I would be honored to come to LA and play your 59 Cherry B3. In the meantime, I will ask my friend Devin Watkins to drop in for a visit. Congratulations!!!
Woah! Dr. Kemp, your Hammond videos really helped me learn a lot! Cool to see you here!
@@Dyundu Cool - I am glad to hear that. Let's keep those Hammond Tonewheels turning for sure. :)
Wow, ‘59 B3! What a treasure. Such a shame they don’t make these beautiful instruments any more.
I think '70 or '71 was the last year for the tube/tonewheel combo...
The Greatest Instrument Ever Made: The Hammond B3 with a Leslie Speaker Enclosure.
I agree and I play guitar lol.
Amen!
It's hard to maintain. Hard to find service people. They need oil regularly
@@hewitc A Hammond technicians group does exist online for this. Pretty resourceful experts available there at: facebook.com/groups/467940163416921
...except from Fender, Gibson, Gretsch, Moog and Ludwig!
I am a drummer from Germany, Sonor drums are really cool, but they don`t have that vibe...
Pretty cool. Beautiful organ. Nice to hear Norm play. We were just reminiscing... when I was about 16, my first job in San Jose was at this pizza place called Cap'ns Galley. The owner had found a theater organ, one of those ginormous ones with all the pipes. The pipes covered almost a whole wall. He hired someone to come in and play it to draw a crowd. The place would rock on a weekend! I think he had 3 restaurants, all with an organ. They're long gone now. No idea whatever happened to the organs, but they were cool.
Nothing sounds like an Original Hammond B3, C3 with Leslie Tone Cabs...!! Beautiful music for our ears. Now you can invite Rachel Flowers to rock that Hammond..!!!!!!
Ooh the unmistakable Hammond organ tone is glorious. 💙
Not a greater sound on earth than a Hammond B3 with Leslie.My ears thank you for the demo Norm.👏👏👏👏👏
oh, that tone-fantastic! nothing sounds like a B3.
When I was in high school in the late 60s the keyboard player in one of my bands had a C3, which is the console version of the B3. We used to get it to gigs balanced on the back seat of a top down convertible with someone sitting on the back of the back seat to steady it.
that must have been a sight had to have been a big chrysler on something similar. on another note a B3 will fit in the side door of a dodge mini van and the speaker, bench, and pedals, too in the back door .
My band Buffalo Brothers used a B3 to record the album and a C3 on tour. Great organs, both of them!
When I was in highschool my best friend and bandmate played a C3 with 2 leslie speakers we would cart to ever gig. What a sound!. I miss the music but most of all, the comraderie. Never made much money but the memories are priceless
One of the greatest instruments ever. I can remember playing it and it’s been, ohhh, over 40 years ! ! !
Hearing that awesome sound definitely brings back great memories of rock ‘n roll gigs back in the sixties. Usually took 4 of us to carry it in to the job and sometimes even up many stairs. I’d like to say no one ever complained but that would be a lie. Still we toted it everywhere we played because of the tremendous sound. I’m very happy and excited for you folks and am sure it will be inspiring addition to your beautiful store!!!
TheB3 is the best sounding Keyboard ever made that’s the sound of the Allman Brothers Booker T. and the Mg’s the Spencer Davis group and so on
To be clear, the Hammond B3 (and it's vintage cousins) is not a keyboard, it is a full console ORGAN. Two manuals and pedal board/bench, your lesson for today. (O;
Gary Smith Yeah I’m aware it’s an organ but when you post comments it’s easier to explain it that way that it’s a keyboard there are keyboards on the Organ
@@jeffholliday8304 Ok, for lay persons I can go with that. It is just us organists understand them as manuals. Keyboards being mostly digital / electronic and usually a single slab device on a stand. (Yes I play those also). However, I still call my Hammond SK2 a two manual organ lol, a 35lb. B3 if you will (O: And man, with the adjustable key click, leakage/cross talk and generator noise with the Studio 12 Leslie, it was a perfect, portable solution for my blues band. (Arthur Holmes Blues Band - we have some presence on youTube). Resides in the keyboard studio now since Covid hit )O:
I JUST ordered the Hammond 20 note pedalboard for it! Should be here next week.
Gary Smith Good luck with your new equipment I’ve been playing guitar for 40 years that’s my instrument
@@jeffholliday8304 Thanks Jeff, same in return..................yeah, I started taking organ lessons in 1963, been at it for a while lol (O;
I'VE BEEN TELLING NORM TO PUT A HAMMOND B3 AND A LESLIE IN THE DAMN STORE
I WAS GONNA TAKE OVER MY 1960 M3 AND MY 1961 120 LESLIE
I'M GLAD HE GOT ONE IN 🎵
CARLOS GUITARLOS 90042
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE MOVIE THE GHOST AND MR CHICKEN
I'm with ya! Just picked up a furniture-grade M3 and 147 a couple months ago and it's the centerpiece of my home studio - plus a dang fine looking and sounding treat.
Gotta sell Lemmo some lessons. 😂
You are a living legend GUITARLOS CARLOS!
The virtue signaling mask/glove wearing is so California🤣 great jam though Norm!! 👍👍
That sounded awesome Norm! Hope we get to listen to you play that thing more often. A ‘59 B3! That is incredible!
Opening the shop each morning & a closing ballad. Big treat to hear Norm jam after all those other captured sessions.
👍
Brings back memories of me and my mates carrying that B3 and Leslie speaker around for the middle school dance. Damn, Norm can play. If I'd known him back in Miami we'd of asked him to be in our band.
We had the same organ and speaker set up in our church for years. It took me years to understand just how cool one of these can really sound. Sweet!
Thank you Norm play us one every now and then!!!
I just love the sounds from those organs. And that one is beautiful.
Best Norman’s video ever. My admiration for the man and musician has increased tenfold....
Thnx Norma for all our life's work
I love B3s! So awesome!! This one is absolutely beautiful; as furniture as well as a musical instrument. Work of art! Great playing!! Now Norm can have real jams in the store!
Thank you for sharing. My Dad had one in the living room, along with a piano all through my growing up years, and into adulthood. Brings back memories.
WOW, Norm rocked that thing!!!! LOVE IT!
OMG what a tone for a 59 I was always been a big fan of the Hammond B3 that just brought chills in my body
Nothing but stunning, Norm. Nothing but stunning.
Ain't nothing like that classic sound from a B3 !!! Friggin' awesome !!!
“Don’t forget to tip your waitresses and bartenders. We’re Murph and the Magic Tones, and we’ll be here all week!”
... and remember, don't you go changin'.
... we'll be right back with our 2 hour Disco Swing Party.!
Try the Veal!
wow - what a beautiful organ! i just love the very old versions with their wooden end blocks left and right to the keyboards.
btw - the leslie seems to be a 122RV, which has an additional spring reverb system installed. there should be a dedicated tube amp in the top compartment just next to the rotating horn, with a knob to adjust the amount of reverb. the reverb is fed to a separate speaker which is located behind the extra, smaller louvres on the side. those extra louvres are the way to tell it is not a regular 122. but it could also be a 122R (or was it 122V? not sure *g* ), which is a regular 122, but prepared for later installation of a reverb system.
the three most significant musical developments of the 20th century
Hammond Organ
Moog Synthesizer
Fender Stratocaster
4. Insert favorite amplification apparatus here....
Although less iconic than your choices the humble MIDI interface standard perhaps deserves a place up there somewhere.
amplifiers? lmao come on
And Rhodes electric piano!
@@danielbrown8556 an electric guitar isn’t good for much without an amp. Neither is a synth, or organ. Playing to large crowds would be virtually impossible. Amplifiers have shaped the sound of modern music in innumerable ways....come on indeed.
Hammond , the warmest sound I ever heard.
I love seeing the young musicians marvel at the first time up close and actually playing an true B-3 organ
My mother played a '59 B3, with Leslie, installed in the living room: imagine coming home from school and hearing Brill building tunes, everyday, from a B3...there's an education in melody and music theory for ya.....
Same exact story as me except my grandmother has one. When I was in elementary/middle school she would pick me up every day (and in high school too before I got my license) and she loves to play her Hammond organ and Yamaha upright. She mostly plays church hymns on the piano/organ.
Thats the Norm I grew up with!! He was playing w/ Dan and they backed up Albert Collins!! Yes it's true ask Norm!!
Porno
Ciao 😁
Keep it in the store, Norm. Keep it around!
There is nothing like the sound of a B3! Thanks for the post.
The power and the glory that is the B-3...I'm digging it.
Norms the coolest. They sure did somethin right with musical instruments in the 50s
Norm, that was wonderful. Tell you what: Get in touch with the amazing L.A. muso David Sparkman--who also smokes on the guitar--and have him blast through a tune or two. You'll love him.
Man this is the most beautiful instrument I’ve heard in my life
Finally a reason to post a comment. Just haven’t felt it since Mark left. Fantastic addition to the shop, Norm. Thank Heaven for the individual that 1st added the B3 to the RnR arsenal!
I inherited my father's 1963 B-3 with a 122 Leslie which he bought new....took me 7 years to finally find it a good home as I didn't want it to go to a bunch of kids beating it up in the back of a truck twice a week. A finely crafted instrument worthy of it's reputation.
One of my high school mates had one of these B3 and a Lesley it like Booker T and the MGs it has a most unique sound that resonates across generations and time, very sweet!
wow! Norm, you finally reveal yourself.........great playing!
B3 heaven plus Leslie! Awesome video 👏⭐️👏⭐️👏
Nothing like a B3. Nicely played, Norm.
I'm literally crying right now!!😂 That thing is gorgeous, and Norm damn sure knows how to make it talk!! I sure hope you guys decide to keep that around for the weekly jam sessions. PLEASE don't just sell it off right away!😁 🤘😎🤘🎵🎶🎵🎹🎹🎹🕋
Love seeing Norm play hamond!!!!
A thing of beauty is a joy forever.
Hell yeah he should keep it... it’s what got him into music and being the reason he’s got the joint he has now !
Wow, Norm. I’m impressed. Love the sound of the Hammond B3.
Simply one of the best sounds on Earth.
Norm has got some CHOPS! :) Awesome to hear a '59 Hammond B3 with a Leslie. Kinda reminds me of most of Scorsese's films for some reason!
Sweet! Takes me back 50 years. I've had the fortune to play some of those.
My great-grandfather, Durwood, played a B3 while my great-grandmother, Ruby, danced with Cab Calloway. Love to put a visual to the stories I’ve heard so much about.
Norm. More please. The sheer joy that somehow managed to shine through even an expletive deleted pandemic mask is what this world needs more of! Keep it. Play it. Have others join in to show off contemporaneous vintage guitars. And when it's safe, show the world your joy in making music without the mask. Love to lust after the vintage guitars Lemmo shows us, but this was extra special. Thank you again for putting something joyful out into the world right now. It is needed and appreciated. Way cool stuff.
One Of The Sweetest Sounds on the Planet~The Hammond B-3 and a Leslie Speaker Cabinet. Thanks for bringing back some great memories .
That's one nice looking B3 and 122! Sweet playing as well
Norm is killing it!
That must be one of the cleanest B3 I've ever seen! Looked as if it just came out of the Hammond factory yesterday.
Luv the B3 and Leslie Sound!
I used to know a guy who lived in a tiny house. I guess he’d be about eighty by now. When he was younger he was the resident keyboard player at a social club, playing organ for tea dances and so on. When the club closed down they gave him the keyboard set up - a Hammond C3 ( slightly larger than a B3 I believe)and a Leslie speaker. So he had one room of his house that had this in and nothing else. He would turn it on and it would take five minutes to warm up and then, even at quiet levels, you would be immersed in this warm bath of sound. Just a wonderful thing.
Nice change of pace, sounds great!
😍 as If I didn't love Norm already enough!!!
Norm still has the chops!! That beast sounds soooooo good!
Killer Norm we want a tune a day!
Jimmy Smith used to say about the pull bars; "I just flicks at 'em!"
Nice Norm didn't know you could play. God bless n rock on
God I would be in that shop in a moment and buy that B3 and its Lesley except I live 1000s of miles away what a beautiful instrument drool drool drool my favourite organ
Was great to see norm enjoy himself
This realy got me in a good mood 😊🎶
Great playing Norm 👍🎵🎹
I can attest that Norm is as regular a guy as he appears in this video - I paid a visit to the store last year and there he was hanging out on the couch talking to a buddy. Told me to take anything down and give it a go. Made my LA trip a memorable one. Thanks Norm!🤙🏽
Wow! That’s in GREAT SHAPE NORM! No cigarette burns either! As a roadie for a band back in the 70’s we carried one of these from venue to venue ... that’s why my back is broken I guess! ( The spinning tone discs are ALIVE! Yes its a living breathing instrument)
Billy Preston, we miss you
Norm, you are killing it ! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
What a great sound that B3 .
i love the fact that lemmo played everything in its right place lol
Whiter shade of pale on the B3 is awesome, one of the best song to show what it can do..
And Green Onions!
Good to see Norm back on the B3!
Thank you I have never seen a B3 set up. What a beautiful instrument.
Wow! What a cool instrument. I expect a tune by Norm at least once a week from now on. Imagine all the cool jams that are about to happen 👍👏
What a beautiful instrument and Norm does it justice!! Awesome!!
Norm, that was pure magic!
I remember how Heavy the "BEASTIE" was!! Damn near broke my back even with organ dollies!!! But what a grove, Another fine moment was going to Jimmy Smiths Club and seeing him play!!!!! WOW!!
That rendition of "Everything in Its Right Place" at the very end: _there was an attempt..._
It really resembles an airplane, the starting, all that controls and a pedal. Beautiful.
B3 looks like it just came out of the factory..... Nice find.♪♫♪♪
Hallelujah, I love him so 😊 !!!! Kindest regards from France Guys...🥰
SOME GREAT BANDS USED THE B3! IF YOU HAD ONE, YOU WERE SOMEONE! AWESOME!
The boys got soul......
That thing sound's amazing.....
You guys always seem like one happy family.
My ‘59 and 122 has been played and autographed by McGriff, Wood and Kooper, amongst others. Now it relaxes in my home studio..... LUV it! Congratulations!
That Hammond B3 combo is outstanding!
My late uncle was a Hammond fanatic, he played in the Ken Griffin style and this reminds me of those happy days. RIP Johnny
Way to go, Norm! There’s nothing like a B3 into a Leslie! Best keyboard sound ever created. You sound great on that thing. They’re pigs to move, though...So we fully expect to hear more B3 playing from ya! Jimmy Smith! Vanilla Fudge! How about the intro to Chest Fever by The Band? Great stuff!!
