I ever saw Mellotrons live were in Pittsburgh PA, when he toured with
Yes after the "Fragile" album came out. Almost broke my jaw as it hit
the floor... and that was just when a roadie came out and hit a
couple notes to test one! Then Rick's performance, as well as the
whole band, and subsequent ones - many of 'em with and without Yes,
were ones I'll not forget, largely due to the "majesty" of those
Mellotrons! And for one who displayed such true virtuosity & wizardry
(in more than appearance!) on keyboards, it was great to see his
wicked sense of humor as well. I'm sure I'm FAR from being alone in
crediting Rick's serious influence on how MANY of us have played
Mellotrons and ALL other keyboards since. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the best
of the best! Glad to see a new album out, too! Congratulations, and
MANY happy returns to Rick Wakeman!
