Chicago Live at Tanglewood (Lenox, MA), 21 July 1970

A number of years ago, I watched this concert by Chicago and noticed that Robert Lamm plays a Pianet N.  Earlier this week, it was the fifty-fourth anniversary of the concert, and I watched it again so I could post it here.

Below is the set list from the video description (although it fails to identify the first song).  Lamm plays Pianet in every song but "I'm a Man," which is the encore.

• [unidentified song]
• "In the Country"
• "Free Form Piano"
• "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?"
• "25 or 6 to 4"
• "Poem for the People"
• "I Don't Want Your Money"
• "Mother"
• "It Better End Soon"
• "Beginnings"
• "Make Me Smile" / "So Much To Say, So Much To Give"
• "Colour My World" / "Make Me Smile"
• "I'm a Man"

Fleetwood Mac's "Station Man"

Recently, the Reelin' in the Years Archive uploaded a video of Fleetwood Mac performing "Station Man" in 1975 to its YouTube channel:

I hadn't heard any version of this song before, but I noticed that in this live performance at least, Christine McVie plays Hohner Pianet throughout.  I'm pretty sure it's a model N.

Telemann: 168 Keyboard Pieces, TWV 36:106: Menuet

 

I played what's written as an F# in Telemann's notation as an E (in my modernized notation, it's the first note in the right hand in the fourth measure of the sixth line).  I think the F# is a mistake.  If it's an E, there's a sort of parallelism between the phrases in the sixth line (A D D D F# E F# | B E E E G F# G).

This is the last tune I plan on doing from the 168 Keyboard Pieces.  I'm skipping quite a lot of pieces near the end, but they're just beyond my skill level.  I'm also going to take a break from doing Pianet videos.  I don't know when or if I'll do any more.

I also played this on Hammond organ, although I recorded it just on my phone.

"O Christmas Tree"

 

I got this from James Bastien's Great Christmas Carols Arranged for Organ, but I didn't play it exactly like it appears in the book.  I played a regular E major instead of an E major 7.
