Keith Jarrett improvising on the pipe organ at the Imperial Abbey of Ottobeuren, Germany, 1976.

You'd think they'd put a picture on the cover though! The organ & room are spectacular:

If they used more than 2 mics, this would be a good candidate for a surround mix. IMO pipe organs don't sound nearly as impressive in stereo, compared to surround. Example: side 2 of Wakeman's "six wives" is fantastic in surround, you really get the immense, immersive sound of the chamber compared to a flat stereo presentation.

Nonetheless cranked up this sounds good.

Funny: one of these tracks was also used in Friedkin's "Sorcerer" film, another soundtrack and movie I like. ( Tangerine Dream did most of it ).
