Can confirm - I live in Philly where we have the larges "fully functional" organ on the planet - 30,000 pipes. 600 horsepower worth of blowers. When they open it up, your SOUL hears it.
Odesza and Rüfüs du Sol would be a phenomenal fit with their kind of electronic and instumental transcendental music. They have many songs where an organ would be perfect for.
the phrase "pull all the stops" is from organs and Anna Lapwood has only been allowed to "pull all the stops" on this organ twice in her career and it's a joy to behold i am envious! wow what a rush that must have been
@@forty4man that's asking for too much. I my opinion you had to be there to live out that desire. 1 song is good, but don't give us the whole set. As a huge fan, it's our loss we didn't make it.
@@thingsjoshdoes3906I had a ticket to this show. But I was unable to come by the reason of war in Ukraine. In 2015 Bonobo team released a video version of North Borders tour. This concert deserves to have the same. It is normal practice, and I hope this gig was also filmed. It is very huge and incredibly show.
I don't care how loud recorded music or other instruments play. A pipe organ in a great hall sends chills up your spine with sheer Volume of Vibrations and MORE POWER.
Absolutely! No recording could do this justice, it's something you'd need to experience in person. I'm so jealous of the folk who got to be there that night. Imagine seeing an amazing Bonobo gig and at the end, without warning, the full, visceral power of the Pipe organ is unleashed by Anna Lapwood! You'd physically feel it through your feet, reverberating in your chest, let alone the emotion! All as a fully integrated part of the performance! It must have been such a 'rush' to experience!
AGREEE AGREEE!!! My Mom used to play the Organ... HAD.. to play this for Her! We were BOTH ssssooo taken with how this sounded!! Imagine the SURPRISE to those there... when His music comes down... and suddenly.... DDUUUUUNN DUUUUNNNN..... as deep notes from the Pipe Organ resonate throughout the room!!!??
Pipe organs should be used in this sort of music more often, they add SO much gravitas. They're also the original synth... why not use it? How many people who listen to this type of music would say that they listen to organ music? However, here we are listening to organ music. Organs, in their many forms as classical organs such as what we see here, theatre organs like the Wurlitzer at Blackpool Tower Ballroom, and electronic instruments such as Hammonds etc fit into almost any genre of music, and have proven that over the past 100+ years. The organ is not just for use at church or for funerals, it is a diverse instrument that is full of potential, musically, expressively and emotionally. It needs more chances like this one.
@@hazbutler if only! However, there are still a number of publicly owned venues that have one. Also, with software like Hauptwerk which can be used as a vst and midi plugin, everyone could a digital pipe organ at home.
@@hazbutler Cameron Carpenter has had built an international touring organ that he's used for years. It's electronic but indistinguishable from a pipe organ. Anna should look into one! Carpenter BTW has been this generation's "bad boy" on the organ- Anna could be the "bad girl"!
@@paulrowan1501 Reginald Foort did have a touring pipe organ for a while - 5 trucks, with the organ assembled on portable frames. It could be done better today with the technology we have, but, there's the hassle of tuning at every venue... Reginald Dixon also had a touring custom electronic organ back in the 1940s and 50s for venues that didn't have pipe organs.
Felt hearing? My friend their organs would be rumbling. Those pipes at the front are giant 64ft pipes and 32ft pipes are enough to make the air rumble through you.
@@OscarHerrick No they're called 64ft pipes. They're not necessarily 64ft in length. Organ pipes are called by their length and the type of sound they produce. Writing out 64' is a bit weird without explaining what it means.
I was at this show and the organ part made me cry! Don't know why, can't even begin to describe it but it was absolutely magical, such an immersive experience! ❤️
I wasnt even there and it brought tears to my eyes (studio monitors on full blast), so I can imagine the full on effect of those harmonies live with an organ. The harmony is not only Epic, but absolution, purity of immense awe.
I just watched it with my phone and $20 bluetooth headphones at my breakfast table and had tears running down my face. Hearing it in person would have been truly cathartic. How have I only now found this?
Seriously, the chills are real. I wish so badly to have been there. I've been to a couple organ recitals and know how powerful they are, and this combination must've been absolutely jaw-dropping.
The Organ just is there, in the middle, where it was since 150 years. Incredible if you think of the construction and the Music then. Over a century later it still absolutely delivers. This is the definition of masejestic and this moment is one of a million in the history of music. The first thing I really miss not experiencing live.
Organs were designed to replace a whole orchestra and choir. They are the single greatest feat of musical engineering of their time and we’ve never quite again built anything to this scale in the physical world; we have digital instruments of similar size, but everything on an organ of this kind is a physical instrument powered by air. I love these instruments so much. They are sadly slowly dying out. Being thrown away and scrapped.
Well, sort of. The organ in its current form is only about 20 years old, although some of the pipes are 150 years old. First it was extensively rebuilt and modified (eg. changing the voicing of existing stops, adding 35 additional stops, all the inner workings were completely replaced, etc.) in 1924 and 1933. In 1970 some more changes were made. By 2000 the organ had deteriorated to the point of basically becoming unplayable. Then from 2002 to 2004 another full rebuild was done. This last rebuild tried to keep the sound mostly the same, but improved the inner workings, probably for the first time in its history bringing the wind supply to a level where the organ could really be fully used.
There’s a lot of really horrible things going on in the world right now and it’s hard to be proud of humanity, until you hear something like this. Goosebumps… Wish we all spent a bit more time on the peaceful talents of our species.
Wonderfully said Angela. I come here from time to time to immerse myself in the sound and just those kinds of thoughts... And without failure, floods of tears come pouring out of me.
That instrument was built for worship. It was built to send the most powerful sound of glory; to spread the message of faith to people across the globe. Yet, so much of our cultural and spiritual heritage has been forgotten through arrogance and pride.
@@jakegreenwoodphotography I was just about to say what a surprise this must have been to everybody. I have goosebumps all over my body listening to this. How incredible. A once in a lifetime moment.
I have been a fan of Bonobo for over a decade and I think I'm in the top 0.5% of listeners according to Spotify, and this is the most amazing thing he's ever done. I hope this is the beginning of many more collaborations with Anna, who herself is obviously a tremendously talented musician.
This needs to happen a lot more, in general. Whenever a band plays at a venue that has a large organ, they should make every reasonable effort to use it in their concert. Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City is arguably the best venue for this, as its organ is the largest and loudest in the world.
I first heard Bonobo in Ibiza all the bars were playing this music which I couldn’t find so I Shazamed it and the bar maid wrote it down since then I’ve purchased pretty much everything he’s done!
Found this by finding Anna’s video first! She was practicing when someone asked her to play something specific. It was one of the guys from Bonobo. They needed up loving the organ so much, that they wrote her in a part of the song! She called it “the best performance of her life!”
The reaction of the audience matters a lot. Thousands of people behind you don't get upset while playing a piece of classical music. So the experience required this twist of fate.
Trance music? Pretty good. Bonobo? Even better. Bonobo letting Anna Lapwood go all out with an organ? Absolutely euphoric. This track was already a banger experience, but getting hit full force with a pipe organ at near full throttle? Absolutely blows you out of the water. (Its worth mentioning that until recently during a show with AURORA, this cocnert was the first time she was allowed to run the pipes at near 100% volume. Also worth mentioning that this was a spur of the moment thing. Anna was practicing when someone from Bonobo's team heard her and they decided that it was going to be part of the show. It was not planned in advance before the show. I also love how during the final measure, the lights matched the Organ's intensity. )
Two years on, I am still moved by the power of this instrument in the hands of such a skilled artist. Let alone the enthusiasm Anna brings in sharing her life's work and passion with audiences anew. I wish I could have been there to witness and experience first hand. The collaborations breathe new life into an instrument and venue that is timeless. What a sight to behold.
I cry every time and I can't explain it. It's truly unreal. What a time to be alive. Despite all the chaos around us.... this moment happened and we all got to share it and we're better for it.
@@nadia11119 I live a few thousand miles away and the states and I would probably buy a ticket! I've been to London once don't tempt me to come back! LOL
Agreed! As an instrument organs are so unique. It's like having a separate speaker for every note. And it's able to combine them in ways nothing else can truly reproduce.
I really hope Bonobo puts this version on an album, with Anna playing and all properly mixed in. Just chills every time she comes in with the keys and pedals. Gives a whole new dimension to the song
I cry every time I see this, the church organ grabs something inside you and. just. WRENCHES something out. Strips away something you hadn't realised was holding you back before and suddenly you're looking at the world through the clearest eyes. That and Bonobo's gorgeous music, and the idea that people got to experience these moments in such an environment. Being there could truuuuuly be life-altering
Originally wasnt going to be used until the band heard Anna doing her usual practicing whilst they were setting up. The band liked the sound, 16 hours later they had written an organ part into the song, 12 hours after that they were playing it live.
I hope to hear much more of Anna Lapwood joining in with other talented musicians in these collaborations. Nothing moves you, literally, like a 32’ long organ pipe! Hits you in the core!
@@dirkdewit6755 That’s true, fellow Nederlander! But remember that air columns are twisted and turned to fit. Reflect on the height of an octocontrabass clarinet, which is 8 ft 2 inches, but produces the tone of a 32 foot organ reed with its perturbations! 😁
I was moved to tears by this composition. There is something otherworldly about the organ's inclusion in such a modern musical composition. Indeed, this combination is very much an aural manifestation of retrofuturism, and a testimony to the power such a juxtaposition can call forth.
Spine tingling, it really is. You'd almost swear this track was just written to have such an incredible instrument as part of it. Absolutely magnificent and Anna Lapwood's video was brilliant too - the joy she was clearly getting from hearing the audience's appreciation was infectious. A little ray of amazing feelgood in these weird and murky times.
It’s incredible how music, regardless of what genre it is, has the ability to grab hold of your emotions and uncontrollably release them. Tears in my eyes with a huge smile on my face every time that organ comes in! Absolutely incredible venue, so lucky to have experienced this place! 😍
You are speaking out of my soul. I never heard anything from bonobo or Anna. But as I listened to this, i got tears in my eyes goosebumps all over my body and a smile over my face. I just whish that I was there live.
If I was at this concert in person to witness this masterpiece I know I would immediately start sobbing from the awesomeness of that organ. Chills from just the video but in person that would be a religious experience
This song feels like finding a full jungle in a desert. The Classical Organ mixing with the technologic sounds of EDM, holds a power no one has thought enough of to try. This is a song made to challenge the ideals of a mass with the power of two opposing forces. This song is a Masterpiece, it holds a magic we all need.
I have been binge watching this lady for hours. Everything I could find she has done and at 27 years of age I must say she has to be one of the preeminate organist's out there today. The organ played at this level does something to you. Your body can feel the reverb and vibrations and you never forget it. Even listening to it with good headphones changes you somehow. I will never think of the organ the same again. Bravo dear lady BRAVO!!!!!!
Its mesmerising emotionally draining with awe and delight!......ive followed stevens music creations with awe from early boiler room days. This has me in tears from the start to full blown breathless through out. I would love to have been there live.......what a collaboration, the emotions through the hall must of been something else
This was one of the the greatest experiences of my life. Flew from Ireland for it. Your venue, you guys are amazing. Hopefully you get Bonobo back sometime soon so everyone else that didn't go can!
@@denimadept Doesn't need to be. I've never heard an organ like that, and I really want to. That bass would rumble through your bones! I wanna feel that.
Imagine being a Bonobo fan walking into RAH, already loving this song and thinking it's fantastic- And THEN they go and add an epic organ to the mix? I would've lost my mind if I was there that night.
I seriously can’t get enough of this. One of the most incredible things I’ve ever heard or seen! New long-term career goal unlocked: Play a Trance show at Royal Albert Hall with Anna playing Organ along with the whole thing!
If you like this, look for the video with the split screen of this one and Anna. You can see her playing, counting the bars, and her reaction to the crowd. Epic!
I can't get over it 150 years of raw power shaking you to the very core All from the minds of humans A hall of ecstatic people with nothing on their mind but music Come together Music is a whole body experience with this
I think a full pipe organ in a music hall is the singly most powerful and impactful and emotional instrument ever created. Doesn't matter how loud you turn up the speakers to play synth bass music, it won't feel more powerful than a pipe organ. I can only imagine what it was like to be in that room for this performance.
I got chills watching this! Can’t even imagine what it must have been like to be in the space live. Anna is so awesome and I’m so glad she got to do this. This needs to be released as a track on the album.
There’s no way they don’t use the organ in this song from now on. The organ is just such a powerful instrument that it brings this piece to a new level
Scrolling reels on Instagram I stumbled across Anna randomly and it lead me here!!! 20 minutes ago I knew of none of this. Holy shit that was brilliant
Was there on the Thursday and the atmosphere was absolutely electric!! Everyone dancing on all the levels by the third song. I can't even imagine it being taken a further level but it did. Amazing, what an incredible melting pot of musical brilliance.
I would have lost my damn mind the minute the organ kicked in. Such an amazing collaboration, and a great fusion of music. Shaking the rafters old school with a new school twist. Love it so much.
Anna just performed with Aurora at the RAH. Only the second time (along with this gig) where she's played the organ at 100% or, "with all the stops out".
I'm typically not an electronic music kind of person, typically rock/metal some symphonic stuff. This gave me chills, it is soo good. The many dimensions and layers to it all, mind blowing. This needs to be a thing, they need her on the next album, or just re-record the song with the organ. Phenomenal!
Everyone stood in awe as they heard the organ play. What an other-worldly experience to stand in such a massive reverb of power and magic. Man, it must of been astounding to be there!
I have always been a HUGE fan of Organs mixed with current music, have been so for years so TO SEE THIS I am SO happy for it. I really hope more things like this happen because it really shows that the 'Old' never really goes out of style. The lighting is really great here too in ALL aspects. Kudos to whoever designed it.
Prince Albert would have thought himself in a euphoric fantasy and undoubtedly rendered to tears should he have ever been able to witness this epic performance.
I’ve been having a religious experience with this. Damn. Damn. *W O W* This is just utterly breathtaking, the organ fits so perfectly with the song, like it was MEANT to be there. Hard to believe we almost didn’t get this. Absolutely incredible
I discovered this today having just purchased the album Luna. To say it sent shivers down my spine would be an understatement! Also made me cry! The majesty of the organ! I love the merging of different genres of music! Just wowed!
SO BEAUTIFUL! I've watched this video, the side by side, and just the video of Anna and I keep crying every. single. time. she comes in with the organ. I don't know what it is about it but it shakes my soul, it's so incredible.
As far as I'm concerned, this is only version of the song that exists.
...and the best❤
The original is pretty good tbh, I love the bass
This song is on Spotify, but I don't think the sound quality is as good as this live version.
It's the only version I've heard. 😀
Sound Engineer: We've got 25000 watts on the main speaker arrays
Pipe Organ: Hold my beer
Can confirm - I live in Philly where we have the larges "fully functional" organ on the planet - 30,000 pipes. 600 horsepower worth of blowers. When they open it up, your SOUL hears it.
The moment the sound man goes whats the$*÷*%($(%*#('....
And Anna just smiles... cos she know what this majestic beast can do...
Time to show off ..
Actually, the pipe organ has a secret liquor cabinet. Video on UA-cam!
@@markallen2536 I'm pretty sure that the drinks cabinet is on the console of a different organ to the RAH. Anna plays in many different locations.
@@DavidWood2Sure looks like the same doors to me...
I really hope that this leads other artists to collaborate with Anna at this venue. Such an amazingly untapped resource.
Don Preston played Louie Louie on the organ when Zappa played the Albert Hall... 😂
Totally agree! I mean Anna is amazing talent and that beautiful organ is already there, so why not take advantage of both?!
Imagine Intervention by Arcade Fire here
Odesza and Rüfüs du Sol would be a phenomenal fit with their kind of electronic and instumental transcendental music. They have many songs where an organ would be perfect for.
I imagine it's a huge pain in the butt to organise around an utterly gigantic instrument like that.
Would be super cool though 😎
I was here! Remember the organ kicking in and me screaming "thats the fucking organ". Had full body chills, best concert moment ive ever experienced

Yeah hopefully theyll master the recording for cd/vinyl ☺️

This was my first exposure. I really like them
Same - I'd heard of Bonobo but am not big on EDM, but this is a banger that should be played loud enough to jumble your internal organs.

It was not planned in advance before the show. I also love how during the final measure, the lights matched the Organ's intensity. )
Just saw Anna Lapwood's IG post and came here to look up video. Just WOW!
Same
Oh yes.
Same here!
me too!
Absolute chills, I would have cried if I was in that audience
That's exactly what I said after watching this
I did! I think I cried about 4 times at different moments. It was INSANE!
God me too I’d be streaming !!!!
I spontaneous began to cry listening to it in my car...🤣
I almost cry watching it on my phone. I would 100% be teary eyed if I was there in person.
I was there for this. When the organ came in... it was majestic - there's no other word that for me captures that moment.
Love how the sound is really great and powerful already and then comes the organ saying "Let me show you what real power sounds like...."
Two years on, I am still moved by the power of this instrument in the hands of such a skilled artist. Let alone the enthusiasm Anna brings in sharing her life's work and passion with audiences anew. I wish I could have been there to witness and experience first hand. The collaborations breathe new life into an instrument and venue that is timeless. What a sight to behold.
I can't hold the tears, crying from the bottom of my heart, this is transcendent
I cry every time and I can't explain it. It's truly unreal. What a time to be alive. Despite all the chaos around us.... this moment happened and we all got to share it and we're better for it.
Same and totally agree. It’s so immense I too cried. What power! If they do this again, obvs with Anna, I’m buying a ticket!
@@nadia11119 I live a few thousand miles away and the states and I would probably buy a ticket! I've been to London once don't tempt me to come back! LOL
@@theonlysjc I feel exactly the same. I am coming back here at least once a day.
same! Every fricking time it gets my eyes all wet. dang unions.
This is insane just with headphones. I can’t imagine what this was like live. Absolutely joyed that we all get to experience this.
Agreed! As an instrument organs are so unique. It's like having a separate speaker for every note. And it's able to combine them in ways nothing else can truly reproduce.
listening on my jabras evolve 75 crazy man sick tune
This is also one hell of a banger with a strong sound system with a good subwoofer - pipe organs have a _lot_ of energy at the bottom end.
This almost killed me it was so good on my Sonys
I've listened to this about a dozen times now, and still tear up every time. It's sonic sorcery!
30 for me (ish)
I lost count and still going up
found this yesterday: 6th time!
Sometimes I wish there was a reset memory button in my brain. So I can hear this for the first time again and again and again
RAH please host Anna and Bonobo again. I will fly to London from Canada with all my savings just to see this live.
Same here :D
I will fly from Terceira island, Azores straight away!!
Anna's the Royal Albert halls organist but yes I'd pay for that as well
Anna Lapwood is the greatest thing to happen to the Organ since Zimmer's score for Interstellar.
SHE.IS.A.HERO!
I think I’m gonna listen to this on repeat until I die, this is just unreal
I really hope Bonobo puts this version on an album, with Anna playing and all properly mixed in.
Just chills every time she comes in with the keys and pedals.
Gives a whole new dimension to the song
An organ is a sound mechanics nightmare so they couldnt do that very easily because of how hard it is to hook up a microphone to an organ is
I cry every time I see this, the church organ grabs something inside you and. just. WRENCHES something out. Strips away something you hadn't realised was holding you back before and suddenly you're looking at the world through the clearest eyes. That and Bonobo's gorgeous music, and the idea that people got to experience these moments in such an environment. Being there could truuuuuly be life-altering
The comments of BOTS are so fucking ridiculous
Honestly, I teared up too and I'm not sure why.
It's pretty amazing that they brought the Organ in, i've watched so many shows where it lies dormant, great hearing it used in such an epic setting.
Originally wasnt going to be used until the band heard Anna doing her usual practicing whilst they were setting up. The band liked the sound, 16 hours later they had written an organ part into the song, 12 hours after that they were playing it live.
@@Burnie1601 now that they’ve discovered how good this version sounds I can’t see them ever just letting an organ sit quiet during this song again
@@Burnie1601 actually is was 18hrs from idea to stage
I hope to hear much more of Anna Lapwood joining in with other talented musicians in these collaborations. Nothing moves you, literally, like a 32’ long organ pipe! Hits you in the core!
Yeah, you don’t really hear those subbass pipes, you FEEL them. It’s perfect for EDM.
The 64' ones (the real ones are only on two organs in the world).
@@dirkdewit6755 That’s true, fellow Nederlander! But remember that air columns are twisted and turned to fit. Reflect on the height of an octocontrabass clarinet, which is 8 ft 2 inches, but produces the tone of a 32 foot organ reed with its perturbations! 😁
This is so freaking amazing!!!! As an organs builder, this rocks my world. MORE PLEASE!!!!
Agreed, this was a literal representation of past and future/modern music
I wonder if that organ has MIDI? Could open up some possibilities.
I was moved to tears by this composition. There is something otherworldly about the organ's inclusion in such a modern musical composition. Indeed, this combination is very much an aural manifestation of retrofuturism, and a testimony to the power such a juxtaposition can call forth.
Spine tingling, it really is. You'd almost swear this track was just written to have such an incredible instrument as part of it. Absolutely magnificent and Anna Lapwood's video was brilliant too - the joy she was clearly getting from hearing the audience's appreciation was infectious. A little ray of amazing feelgood in these weird and murky times.
This pairing…I’m fighting back tears.
Forget bass drops, we need more pipe organ drops! This is incredible!
It’s incredible how music, regardless of what genre it is, has the ability to grab hold of your emotions and uncontrollably release them. Tears in my eyes with a huge smile on my face every time that organ comes in! Absolutely incredible venue, so lucky to have experienced this place! 😍
I am super envious of everyone who got to experience this live. I am crying just hearing this through headphones. It's a musical masterpiece.
You are speaking out of my soul. I never heard anything from bonobo or Anna. But as I listened to this, i got tears in my eyes goosebumps all over my body and a smile over my face. I just whish that I was there live.
I almost started hyperventilating.
If I was at this concert in person to witness this masterpiece I know I would immediately start sobbing from the awesomeness of that organ. Chills from just the video but in person that would be a religious experience
How did the organ _feel_ sound wise? I bet it felt organ rumbling and majestic
This song feels like finding a full jungle in a desert. The Classical Organ mixing with the technologic sounds of EDM, holds a power no one has thought enough of to try. This is a song made to challenge the ideals of a mass with the power of two opposing forces. This song is a Masterpiece, it holds a magic we all need.
I have been binge watching this lady for hours. Everything I could find she has done and at 27 years of age I must say she has to be one of the preeminate organist's out there today. The organ played at this level does something to you. Your body can feel the reverb and vibrations and you never forget it. Even listening to it with good headphones changes you somehow. I will never think of the organ the same again. Bravo dear lady BRAVO!!!!!!
Its mesmerising emotionally draining with awe and delight!......ive followed stevens music creations with awe from early boiler room days. This has me in tears from the start to full blown breathless through out. I would love to have been there live.......what a collaboration, the emotions through the hall must of been something else
The organ commands a certain presence that gives this track so much more power and energy. Absolutely amazing.
Massively improves on it too.
This was one of the the greatest experiences of my life. Flew from Ireland for it. Your venue, you guys are amazing.
Hopefully you get Bonobo back sometime soon so everyone else that didn't go can!
But it won't be a surprise, next time.
@@denimadept Doesn't need to be. I've never heard an organ like that, and I really want to. That bass would rumble through your bones! I wanna feel that.
@@Fizz-Pop Add it to your bucket list. 🙂
Moved to tears. Can only imagine what it must have been like in person!
Anna Lampwood has behind the scenes footage of this on her insta
I’m crying watching this one headphones id have lost my sh*t being there! Wow wow wow ❤️
Felt this in my bones while I was there and to be able to relive this again and again now, ah so so happy
Bulgarian Folklore + Organ + Electronic sounds= Perfection!
Imagine being a Bonobo fan walking into RAH, already loving this song and thinking it's fantastic- And THEN they go and add an epic organ to the mix? I would've lost my mind if I was there that night.
I’m a little obsessed with this.
Hot tip - play it through headphones and make it LOUD
You don't really hear an organ, you feel it rattle your bones as it passes along to blow your mind.
This is phenomenal. It’s great to see such an old and complex instrument performed expertly by Lapwood in a contemporary context.
150 years old too!
When Anna drops the beat, she puts her foot down...
I seriously can’t get enough of this. One of the most incredible things I’ve ever heard or seen! New long-term career goal unlocked: Play a Trance show at Royal Albert Hall with Anna playing Organ along with the whole thing!
If you like this, look for the video with the split screen of this one and Anna. You can see her playing, counting the bars, and her reaction to the crowd. Epic!
Not sure I've ever been so moved by a piece of music. And her contribution was out of this world amazing.
I wonder how many people in the in audience realized they would witness a very special moment history that day
I wish we had more crowd shots. To see the faces of people hearing the sudden drop for the first time...
That organ out powered the whole performance, every time it came in it’s like a gut punch.
I can't get over it
150 years of raw power shaking you to the very core
All from the minds of humans
A hall of ecstatic people with nothing on their mind but music
Come together
Music is a whole body experience with this
Almost brings me to tears… so fucking beautiful. I bet you that organ never knew it was have 3000 chundered music buffs head banging to its power 🔥🔥🔥
Unbelievable, the contribution Anna had to this closing... transcendent
I think a full pipe organ in a music hall is the singly most powerful and impactful and emotional instrument ever created. Doesn't matter how loud you turn up the speakers to play synth bass music, it won't feel more powerful than a pipe organ. I can only imagine what it was like to be in that room for this performance.
I got chills watching this! Can’t even imagine what it must have been like to be in the space live. Anna is so awesome and I’m so glad she got to do this. This needs to be released as a track on the album.
There’s no way they don’t use the organ in this song from now on. The organ is just such a powerful instrument that it brings this piece to a new level
Scrolling reels on Instagram I stumbled across Anna randomly and it lead me here!!!
20 minutes ago I knew of none of this.
Holy shit that was brilliant
Was there on the Thursday and the atmosphere was absolutely electric!! Everyone dancing on all the levels by the third song. I can't even imagine it being taken a further level but it did. Amazing, what an incredible melting pot of musical brilliance.
I would have lost my damn mind the minute the organ kicked in. Such an amazing collaboration, and a great fusion of music. Shaking the rafters old school with a new school twist. Love it so much.
I would pay one thousand American dollars for a complete album of this.
I’d pay $1k just to have this one song recorded in Dolby Atmos.
Sat about 10 seats from Anna 2 nights ago at her PROM. What a smile she has.
Definitely a beauty!
The crossover you didn't know you needed.
I can't stop listening to this. It's every level of awesome!
Just imagine the story when she hangs out with her organist friends: "Hey Anna, what have you been up to lately?".
Anna just performed with Aurora at the RAH. Only the second time (along with this gig) where she's played the organ at 100% or, "with all the stops out".
Anna deserves a whole concert dedicated to her at this point!!!
I'm typically not an electronic music kind of person, typically rock/metal some symphonic stuff. This gave me chills, it is soo good. The many dimensions and layers to it all, mind blowing. This needs to be a thing, they need her on the next album, or just re-record the song with the organ. Phenomenal!
The atmosphere must have been insane. New one for the bucket list
This has to happen again so I can go!!!
Every damn time I hear this my hair just stands straight up. She’s releasing an absolute kraken of musical harmony on the listeners.
My skin stood up where there wasn’t even any hair. This made me cry, I can’t imagine being there
Legit one of the best musical moments of my life was being at this show, and that sublime moment the organ came in. It was unreal.
Everyone stood in awe as they heard the organ play. What an other-worldly experience to stand in such a massive reverb of power and magic. Man, it must of been astounding to be there!
I have always been a HUGE fan of Organs mixed with current music, have been so for years so TO SEE THIS I am SO happy for it. I really hope more things like this happen because it really shows that the 'Old' never really goes out of style. The lighting is really great here too in ALL aspects. Kudos to whoever designed it.
Prince Albert would have thought himself in a euphoric fantasy and undoubtedly rendered to tears should he have ever been able to witness this epic performance.
I’ve been having a religious experience with this. Damn. Damn. *W O W*
This is just utterly breathtaking, the organ fits so perfectly with the song, like it was MEANT to be there. Hard to believe we almost didn’t get this. Absolutely incredible
Come to think of it the organ’s one of the few instruments that doesn’t need to be modified electronically to fit in with modern music.
That organ is the musical equivalent of "Release The Kraken"!
Great job to both musicians blending old and new!
Imagine being there when those pipes go...must be tons of air moving through them.
This is hands down one of the coolest pieces of music with an organ I have ever listened to.
Literally shaking inside when the organs started 🙏😵 absolutely beautiful connection, it's soul touching 💙
This lives now rent free in my head forever.
I discovered this today having just purchased the album Luna. To say it sent shivers down my spine would be an understatement! Also made me cry! The majesty of the organ! I love the merging of different genres of music! Just wowed!
Going to hear Anna play this organ has been moved to the top of my bucket list!!!
SO BEAUTIFUL! I've watched this video, the side by side, and just the video of Anna and I keep crying every. single. time. she comes in with the organ. I don't know what it is about it but it shakes my soul, it's so incredible.
