It doesn't count if the band isn't playing all four does it? You could put 50 Mellotrons on stage at one time and if they don't get played, all you get to do is look at a bunch of Mellotrons. OOOOOOOOHHH, who cares. I once saw Shawn Phillips live. He had a Mellotron, all shiny and white on stage. I waited in breathless anticipation that he, or someone in the band would play it. The SOB never did. I was SO disappointed... I had 4th row seats. The show was probably good, buy he never played the Mellotron. RRRRRRRRRRRRR
If four Mellotrons are onstage, I wanna hear four Mellotrons getting played.
I was fortunate to have supplied three Mellotrons to Anglagard at NEARfest. I just received my copy of that performance on CD. It is not the mix that will be released to the public, But it is amazing! So stay tuned. If you are a Mellotron freak (and I know we all are) I promise you that this performance is not to be missed. It is AWESOME! And it most probably will be released.
I'm so proud!
