  I must add that I've seen Mr Jobson twice live on both of the UK tours. First show was a $2 concert with the Bruford/Holdsworth lineup featuring CS-80, MiniMoog, Taurus 1 pedals, Hammond C3, maybe an electric Yamaha Grand, certainly lots of electric violin - all played and mixed beautifully and good and loud. An incredible sound with Wetton and Bruford supporting the dueling Jobson and Holdsworth, playing at their peak. Second show was supporting  Jethro Tull. Probably no Mellotrons involved.

Hey! Play nice. Yes more or less threw him out of the 90120 or whatever the hell that era of the band was called because he showed up with a makeup artist and wardrobe person and hairdressers for the video shoot for " Owner Of A Lonely Heart"  It was just too much of a shock for Chris Squire. That's his entire history with the band is his very brief appearance in that video. He can be seen on the rooftop bit.

Everytime I see a shot of Eddie live he looks he shouldn've been a female.
