I got a chance to hear Musical Box this past weekend and I went with the
idea that, having seen Genesis during the original "Selling England by
the Pound" tour, I was going to be disappointed. Far from it, on this
occasion. Remembering that several people on this site thought that the
band was using sequencing in order to play the material, I was watching
very carefully.
Sounds to me like Toronto has a very active live music scene. The Musical Box and Peter Gabriel in the same week - I'm jealous.
Did anyone see a Mellotron on stage during the McCartney concert special on TV the other night? I thought that someone said he had a 'Tron with him during his U.S. tour this year. With 16 semi trucks full of gear, he ∗should∗ have had one with him.
Maybe there will be a better shot on the DVD which was released last week.
Also, does anyone know what keyboard he has embedded in that multi-colored mock piano thing that he plays? It looked like a Kurzweil.
