I believe his foot work is so good due to an accident where he couldn't play as much with his hands so practiced by substituting his foot for his right hand. Im sure it was something like that. There is an interview somewhere. He is an extremely good musician.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how the entire comment section is full of love and support, where as other videos on TH-cam have hateful and unkind comments?
If I'm not mistaken, this is the Friday night performance ( I was in attendance for all three concerts) and they jammed it OUT!! As to the comment why the drummers aren't more expressive, think about what they're doing and with whom! They're keeping the music in memory to keep on pace with Rick! That's called CONCENTRATION, honey!! Also his second triple in a row: 2016's concert was "We Three Kings" featuring Rick, Clay and Andrew as the Kings on ONE Organ. THAT you have to see if you haven't!
It’s not exactly memory, he’s playing by ear and improvising as most great musicians do. So as long as he knows the general outline of the tune, he can just rip. But I would guess he never plays this song the same way twice.
Olha o que ele fez com os Pés, é coisa de outro mundo, simplesmente maravilhoso, espetacular, Eu amo o evangelho verdadeiro de Jesus Cristo e amo fazer parte dele...

Is the score available for purchase for this arrangement of We Three Ships w/percussion? This would be brilliant for our lessons and carols service. Or is this improvised?
They are highly concentrated both on their music and on staying with the organ that is many feet away and what Richard is is doing with his face to communicate to them they don't need expressions they have the skill they need insteady
I'm glad you said something positive as well, being an instrument player and concentrating on facial expressions on the same time is incredibly difficult.
That guy can play an entire verse with JUST HIS FOOT WHILE RINGING A BELL AND THAT IS AMAZING well done 👍👍👍

Richard Elliot has been playing the organ since he was 8 years old. I wish I was that talented.

That was so good. The Tabernacle music never fails to amaze.
Wow, the organist is incredible
WOW! Just wow! Richard Elliot blows my mind again! And the drummers switching from drum to drum, AMAZING!
This was wonderful! I have to say I am a big fan of Richard Elliott!

Richard doesn't just want another guy to ring the bell for him. 'Oh, I can do both' he says LOL!!!!
Organist is playing by memory. No music. WOW!
Organists are amazing and this man was spectacular!
🤩
Richard Elliott is my hero on the organ! So amazing.
Wow how'd I miss this one when it came out? Richard is outstanding as ever, and I loved the bass drums, threw me right back to high school drumline!
An Organ with so Many Keys You Need All Four Limbs to Play it, Remarkable.
This is extremely amazing
Amazing technique! Way to go Brother Elliott!!
I love this hymn
Bravo!
Absolutely Fantastic!
That percussionist in the middle is so gorgeous.
Your playing just is great, the way you use your footing, I’m in awe.
Absolutely phenomenal!!
Hallelujah, Happy Advent, Merry Christmas, Peace be with you; Thank you for all your good works, God bless you...🙀😇🎄
This combination heals me am sure on that day of resurrection the Savior when He walk the Earth it will be wonderful as well Amen
There is room to make this an organ duet
Shredding it! Go Saints!!
Fantastic, had to watch it again.
Love this! Gives me the chills and brings a smile every time I watch it. Thank you for sharing such talent and love for music!

Notice Rick Elliot had NO music on his stand!!! That’s all from memory!
Profound...❤️

Maravillosa orquesta bendiciones genial

Forty plus years of practice by a former rock musician🙌

Wow
just shows Cool at 70
Can anyone give name of this piano..please..
I wanted to know how much to subscribe?
Heard that song sung in a 1930s movie based on a Charles Dickinson's story.
Cool. Drums with organ. Not something you see a lot of.
Some organs have drums incorporated.
And so does this one... however Rick did a play on the title: I saw THREE ships... get it?
😮
Why have you removed the other videos of 'I Saw Three Ships'? Those are very missed! :'(

This is not improvised. I watched them do this five times and it was precisely the same each time. They were fully memorized and choreographed.
The drummer on the left... Woof! He's hot.
Amazing but I wish the drummers would have expressions on there face
