NO ONE EVER SAID ST. LOUIS IS THE BEST KEPT SECRET FOR GOPSEL MUSICIANS!!!
movin along...Yeah everyone's right about the organ shout solo being a "little" ordinary.
BUT PLEASE don't get it wrong... BUTCH IS WAY BETTER THAN THAT CLIP (POINT BLANK)!!!!! If any
good organist studied that clip enough, they would definitely be able to play it note from note themselves, But thats only because he played "commercial" that night.
What you would do after church and during sheds you DEFINITELY CAN NOT DO DURING A RECORDING! Especially coming from Butch.If he had played outside the box, as what he is infamous, for it would have thrown everything off.
You still have to keep in mind people were shouting, so he played only what would fit. (and I can appreciate that)And in response to
MAESTRO DIVINE saying, "Butch sometimes underplays because everyone expects otherwise"
YOU ARE DEFINITELY RIGHT!!!!!
Even in church services, when he plays, unless the flow is "right" he won't upset the mode by playing out the box.
PRIME EXAMPLE: I was there the night they taped him on showmethat.com. They had just done altar call, and the worship song of choice was the hymn, "IT IS WELL", the spirit was high, they dismissed the church, but many were still worshipping in the sanctuary. Sebastian (director of showmethat.com) walked to the organ and asked him to play something like some crazy chords and riffs, but because the spirit was still present, Butch politely said, "the spirit is still moving". Thus holding back and still playing the hymn that was originally sung. That clip was definitely not a "come and show off so I can tape you kind of clip".
You have to remember Butch is a minister so, I'm sure he recognizes that people marvel at the way he plays, but he would rather be remembered and appreciated for his annointing and ministry!!!!
