Evening all,
 
I've NEVER seen a live band use a Mellotron... until I went on stage with #1380 in 1987 (I think). The sound guy wasn't amused at all - comment something like "They sounded shit in 1973 and haven't improved much..." True to form, we did sound shit.
 
Guess I was born too late (first proper gig was Rick Wakeman 24/09/1980, Sheffield City Hall... with his BIROTRON!)
 
Best,
Paul Marshall
