I'm picking up Carry On Wayward Son by Kansas and looking for B3 drawbar settings - any tips? It is not in the spreadsheet of B3 presets on this forum. Thanks!

Joe Cocker tunes have a bunch of keyboard highlights. As stated above, most any Santana tune.

Walking in Memphis is a great piano tune.

Just found this thread!!
Some of songs I love doing in my band:
Broken Stones - Weller - great on acoustic or electric piano + organ
Design for Life - Manics - great string parts
Everbody's Changing - Keane - CP80 piano or ordinary piano with plenty of chorus
Video Killed the Radio Star - Buggles - I use piano with chorus - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcFwR-5-hw8
Gimme Some Lovin - Spencer Davis Group - dirty overdriven B3
I Feel Good - James Brown - tight brass section sound
Jump - Van Halen - just awesome to play - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uodUw2vu1-Q
Let Me Entertain You - Robbie Williams - piano + trumpet solo
Long Train Running - Doobie Brothers - we play this a little quicker, using slightly overdriven B3, + I also get a solo that I do with a synth lead
Mr Blue Sky - ELO - complicated setup - layered piano/strings/choirs on top keyboard, piano/vocoder on bottom keyboard - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3yL6fjIhgs
Turn It On Again - Genesis - CP80 or chorused piano
You Do Something To Me - Weller - piano

Currently using Motif XS7 main board and Fantom G6, but hoping to change very soon to Nord Stage 2 EX (hence me being here lol) main board and Roland FA06
Might be on here looking for some programming help when I change over!!
Nord Stage 2 Ex Compact, Roland FA06, Roland JX03, Yamaha Motif XS7

Hi

I know this is an old thread, but I'm trying to get the programs for Hot Stuff, Bad Girls & Mamma Mia
I've done a passable job on Walkin' on Sunshine,but would appreciate some help getting the right sounds for these songs
I'm running a Stage 3, which I've had for a couple of weeks

many thanks Tim
