Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: Mellotronists

Hi all.
Just got back from a fine gig at The Stables, Milton Keynes. The set included
21st Century Schizoid Man. Epitaph. ITCOTCK. I talk to the wind. Cat food.
Pictures of a city. Plus music from Ian McDonald's solo album and Michael
Giles one too. To me though, a revelation was JJ (ex Level 42) on guitar and
vocals. He really carried the band, singing and playing with much energy. His
voice matched the older material so well and his guitar work was as good if
not better than RF himself!
I hope some of are able to see the band for yourself sometime. It's well
worth the price of a ticket. No mellotron though, just some poorish samples.
Highlight? Definitely Epitaph. The words somehow seemed to take on a new
relavance..."The fate of all mankind I fear, is in the hands of fools".
Cheers.
