I miss the old sound. Although I much prefer an actual organ over a programmed keyboard, here it doesn't work. The current one sounds too deep and rich, whereas the old one had a bright and airy sound that fit the vibe of Knicks basketball perfectly. The current sound is also missing that attack profile on the chords that made the old one much more impactful.
Those wondering why the sound changed: Castoldi was using more analog and genuine sounds, whereas nowadays, the sounds are more digital and computerized. Consequently, the sound is less genuine and less impactful sounding to the crows.
If you didn’t like Knick home games you were seriously sick lol. And the sounds seemed much better when the big names came to town. Especially when defense organ played.
Dangle inbound with Noah, Korver, Boozer and Rose. Shrumpurt picks him up on the switch, THEY BOTH FALL DOWN! Inside to Noah. Noah on the dribble, back out to Korver. Final Seconds, Rose dribbles it off. ROSE DRIVES, PUTS IT UP… *Buzz* NO GOOD! AND THE KNICKS WIN IN OVERTIME!
If I named songs 0:03 Fanfare 0:16 Charge 0:36 You can’t Stop Us 0:49 Let Me Hear You Say 0:50 De Fense 1:08 We Will- We Will Win 1:24 The Addams Family 1:44 Somebody Scream! 1:47 Let’s Go Team 2:04 Come one Knicks, do the, Defense 2:27 Let’s Go New York Knicks 2:42 Go Pack Go 3:05 Defense 3:23 ??? 4:19 Drums Transition To Defense 4:24 Let’s do it 4:26 Defense
Back in the 90s Bulls/Knicks games with the 0:50 De Fense tone, that was ALWAYS played in the final 3 min with the game on the line. And of course you know who always put the dagger in the Knicks' heart MOST of the time when that tone played! They shouldn't have played it in those Bulls games cuz that just fed them the victory. 🫠
If I created the names 0:00 We Will- We Will Win 0:16 You can’t stop us 0:36 Go Team Go 0:52 Let’s go Let’s go team Let’s go Te-am Let’s Go! 1:01 Charge 1:07 Go New York Knicks Go-o! 1:15 Let’s go New York Knicks Go, New York Knickers 1:30 We are Champions 1:46 Reveille 1:53 Come on Knicks do, what’s it called? DeFense 2:08 Hold on I’m Coming 2:20 Defense 2:41 Twilight Zone 2:59 Fanfare + Charge 3:15 The Addams Family 3:29 Defense 3:48 You can’t stop us 4:07 Let’s Go Team 4:32 You can’t stop us
Yup. That place was loud and jumping when the Knicks won their 2 NBA Championships back in 70 & 73. Even the organ sounded better back then when Eddie Layton was playing it
