Subject: First time you ever saw a live band use a Mellotron

I'm curious as to when each of you saw a Mellotron on stage with a
band playing live for the first time. As for myself--I never
saw 'Crimson, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Barclay James Harvest, Sebastian
Hardie in those early days live. I do remember my dad taking me to
Strawbs and Earth & Fire in the early 1970's, but I wasn't paying
attention. Bands like Amon Duul and Wind were touring in Germany when
I was there, but I never saw them live either. I never saw KC until
the Thrak tour--no 'tron in sight & I actually would have been
surprised if there was.
I guess the first ones I saw in concert were around ten years ago
with Sky Cries Mary, Built To Spill and Halo Benders.
