There are actually 2 consoles, one on each side. The pipes and equipment are on a separate floor that covers a whole city block.

I could listen to this all day! What an acoustical experience!

Wow! This was 30 years ago of this last time of the good old Chicago Stadium Game! As always, Let’s Go Hawks all the way!

Jack my name is Kevin Watterson I played music with Richard Lewis at Allen Oregon when we work there together him and I had created quite a friendship I'm trying to reach him do you still talk with him?

personnely i think it is the holy grail of organs...it is powerful.and sounds mean.... and heavy...

Tim is a highlight of the theatre organ world. In addition to his involvement on the both the national ATOS board and the CICATOS board, he also does everything he can to welcome new people into the theatre organ world. I can say for a fact that if it weren't for Tim, I wouldn't be involved with ATOS or CIC. I feel incredibly privileged to call him a friend.

So sad that they would get rid of such an amazing instrument like this. What an un-real piece of equipment. I would have gladly taken it to my house.

Sometimes I wished I could’ve seen a game in that building

I’m 61, a long time Flyers fan, but growing up in the 70’s there was no better time then watching the Flyers at the stadium. This organ and the crowd were mesmerizing. Wish it wasn’t gone.🙁

I watched the Big Bad Bruins of the late 60s and early 70s. I was always psyched when they played the Blackhawks in Chicago so I could hear the Chicago Stadium organ. It was legendary!

I hated the Blackhawks back in the day; Al Secord, Tony Esposito, Denis Savard, and Chicago in general. Is Stan Mikita still selling doughnuts? of course not, that was a hoax.

I appreciate Richard Hills' creative artistry, not to mention his technical excellence on the keyboards. It's a real pleasure to both hear and see his performances!

This piece of music. I can see the Blackhawks in a line brawl with the Flyers.

The beautiful sounds of my youth, and I’m not even from Chicago. #RememberTheRoar

Hello Jack are you

Boy someone’s into themselves.

Place had a cozy feeling, would’ve liked seeing a game there and I’m the rival from wisconsin. They shoulda moved it to the united center which I’m sure was going to be pricey but worth it

What a Treat to listen to this interview with Donna Parker .My wife & I many years ago went to the Pizza Palace in Indy. to eat pizza & listen to Donna Parker play that wonderful organ.We were on the road traveling for 6 years . Spent our years in the winter in Fla. found that that same Theater Organ had been moved from Indy. to Bradenton Fla.Went there to hear our wonderful Pizza Paramount organ again played but not by Donna Parker. Anyway we were blessed with the music from the one instrument we really enjoyed hearing. I have been retired now for 36 years & at this time in my remaining life I am setting here typing this while listening to a live interview . I will be having another birthday coming up 6-25-1931 , this is TRULY A SPECIAL TREAT for me. I have You on U Tube loaded now with many of my favorite songs I have played all my life . Just found this one I play every day NOW of Donna Parker at the Paramount Palace Pizza Organ in Indianapolis, In.I simply love playing THE STARS & STRIPES FOREVER , I get chills every time she plays it . I have a wonderful sound system here in my apt. I bet they hear it downtown for sure. Thank you so much Donna Parker you have for sure made my day today and the best BD I could possibly have , just wish I had my loving wife here with me at this time. We enjoyed your talents so much on that organ.

The pinnacle of the Wurlitzer companies achievement in organ building. Why Radio city music hall creator's chose to partially hide the console, almost as an after thought of where to put it/them and they are also quite bland too? Thankfully there is nothing bland about the quality of the instruments sound, this is truly a beauty! And i believe the largest specification offered by Wurlitzer, with everything they made thrown in? For someone with an open cheque book.

I miss the old days of Hockey Music. I grew up a Blues fan and we have some good organ music, but There’s something about the Blackhawks Pipe Organ that was and still the best in Hockey!

DON'T EVER PLAY LADY OF SPAIN AGAIN!!!!

What's the song that starts at 3:11? Update: It's Skater Waltz!

I would’ve love to hear Jack Moelmann play “The Hockey Theme” (Hockey Night In Canada) just one more time.

Bravo à l organiste de Chicago Stadiume je suis de Quebec du Canada ont vous aimes Chers amis peuples Américains

The REAL madhouse on Madison!

The man, the myth, the legend

Thank you Tony Fenelon. You are an Australian much received by the Australian public.Thank you for a fully competent delivery in all your music. I much enjoy it, and my family do too.

I was there at this concert at Radio City Music Hall. It was an exciting, fun, and magical evening with marvelous artists playing a wonderful variety of tunes. Thank you Jack for a special evening that will never be forgotten. 🌟

The first song is: “I’ve been working on the railroad”

Respect to everyone who works behind the scenes of these magnificent halls of human experience that go unnoticed...to the men who fashion how human interaction should be in seemingly unvoiced ways...God bless you All

The best 19 minutes of music you’ll listen to all day!

Did it move to the United Center? I recall games there and especially loved when Canadian teams were in town and they back-to-backed the two national anthems. As to stadium construction, none of the old hockey/basketball arenas are left but at least we have Wrigley and Fenway and maybe, MAYBE, Dodger Stadium in Chavez Ravine. Nothing like it....the old fieldhouse in Madison for UW....same thing....athletes and owners each make too much $$ to allow any such construction any longer.

0:16 I’ve Been Working on the Railroad

/With all of those gizmos, there are no ducks that quack on key. Shame.

Pretty happy that I was able to go to the Chicago Stadium many times. Sure I’m a bit sad it’s gone, but the reason I’m sad is because of the way sports are nowadays. The athletes are over paid and the owners are billionaires of our dime.

I really got into hockey in 1993 and have vivid memories of watching my Leafs play at the Chicago stadium , this organ was truly unique and can’t imagine how it would have sounded in person

Fantastic playing Mr Moelmann1

I enjoyed this. In recent years when my wife and I have gone to the RCMH Christmas show to relive our childhoods I have been consistently disappointed with the organ performance. Sadly, first rate theater organists are a nearly vanished art. And I'm REALLY disappointed that the recording of RCMH organists Dick Leibert and Raymond Bohr aren't (have never been?) available on CD. You can find them but only on their original vinyl.

Even though sadly the pipes were lost in the fire outside Phoenix

The mighty Barton speak again

When you hear this instrument being played, if you don’t get chills running down you body, and tears in you eyes, folks, you’re not human!

I remember Jeff, he use to come and hang out with my friend Rocky and I. He could talk for hours!

I heard the barton cosole is for sale again in Vagas..the owner passed away..it could be tied into the allen organ at the u.c. would some let mr.wirts know hawks owner. Bring it back to chicago..

Once called Walt Strony to relate how great his interpretation of “It Happened In Monterey” is; unfortunately I heard it while serving in Korea ( US Army, circa 2004) on the NPR show Pipedreams through a computer whose sound card was distorting and caused me to misdescribe a section of the music! Always wanted to apologize to him!
