A topic-relevant trivia question:
Was the studio version of Led Zeppelin's "The Rain Song" recorded as
a live-performance two-handed keyboard part, or was it multi-
tracked? If it was actually played two-handed, was it ever played
that way live? The DVD version I just saw was audibly just 3-violins
on an M400, but they did take the big twin-keyboard monster (Mark V,
right?) on the road as well, didn't they? Is that the machine on the
studio version, or was that a Mark II?
