MISSING EPISODES! If you want to hear more early Caravan stories such as how Dave saved Pye's life that terrible night at the Marquee Club, playing with Frank Zappa live on stage, the (then infant) bands who asked Dave to leave Caravan to join them and more, like this comment! 😀
A musician and an engineer! Searching for a certain sound, and you found it by creating something totally new at the time. Musicians today have it far too easy...
Hi Dave ,Colin here ,l remember your organ ...lugging it up the stairs in London road, nice to hear you ,all seems well with you ,I'll keep watching ,nice memories, stay well xx
Thanks for the support, indeed Dave had something musically more to give, in those early days, but a band is a function of all members contribution. Pye could play a mean solo to and should have done more. Caravan without Richard Sinclair's voice however, is another debate!
Dave Sinclair's organ sounds sometimes indistinguishable from electric guitar. I thought he's used some guitar effects to get wah-wah sound, so my suspicion confirmed . Very creative way of using Hammond
Thank you for watching, we hope the Hammond Organ Co. will recognise Dave for his unique playing style and technical achievement by welcoming him to the Hammond Family and into their Hall of Fame.
I remember seeing Caravan open for Renaissance at Monmouth Colege in NJ close to 40+ years ago. The solo that stuck out to me was played on a Davoli synthesizer in the song "Memory Lane Hugh."
Thanks TZKeyz, yes Dave later made use of the Hammond as chords only and got hold of one of the first synthesisers which was the Davolisint, when Pye asked him back for the Plump Girls album in 1973. More on that in a future episode!
Unique style, you created a sound, Dave. Just listening to Caravan early albums I found out there were much more beyond the most recognised bands. I specially enjoy your music performed on the Hammond organ
Thanks Doviderus. The Hammond is in a poor way at the moment, hasn't been heard in public for 22 years. Hoping to launch a crowdfund campaign to rescue everything from Dover and restore it early next year so that the organ can be displayed in Canterbury first, then hopefully used again for new music. Possibly it is hoped it can be used in a live concert again sometime. Finding a permanent home for it and accessories will be challenging... the band's long-term roadie, Maurice Haylett, kindly stored it over the peak years and took enough strain lifting it around the world also!

Thanks Colin! Regards
Dave Sinclair IS the sound of Caravan.

Thanks for share this!!! Long live Caravan!!!
Thanks for watching!
☆☆ service to humanity ❤❤
The title of this interview should be “But I wanted more …” Lol Great insight into how Dave created those classic sounds

@@DaveSinclairMusic2 He also had a Freeman string synthsizer. I bought one and consider it the BEST string synthsizer ever made.
@@TZKeyz Still got it! Needs rescuing from Dover along with the poor old Hammond. Found a mouse living in it!
*Backwards*
Mike Ratledge had almost same setup minus Hammond organ, Canterbury fuzzy keys heaven
