Can someone out there please tell me why Nobody EVER mentions one of
the most outstanding uses of a mellotron EVER? For me it has got to
be John Paul Jones on "The Rain Song".. Before I even knew that it
was a mellotron making all of that music it had me completley in
awe..


Probably one of my first 'Tron moments, although you can't see JPJ playing
it in 'The Song Remains the Same'. Prefer the live version, myself - less
'cheesy' arrangement, particularly on guitar.
