Hi List!

I just traded a bunch of records and VHS tapes with a friend and among
them were OMD - Live at the theatre royal drudry lane" which is a filmed
live gig from 4th of December 1981 (damn, that's 26 years ago any day
now). Anyway, the set-up is McCluskey on his ugly bass, Phil (or
what'shisname) on synthesizers, another guy on another set of synths and
one drummer.

Among the drums I clearly spot SDS-V pads, Pearl Syncussion and also two
SDS-3/4 pads which leads me to believe it's a SDS-IV hidden somehere in
among his gear. They don't show up often with picture proof... but
here's another one! :)

Last time I spotted one of the MusicAid-era Simmons was the splendid
live DVD with Fad Gadget where a SDS-III is clearly used a lot.

The OMD gig is great, the filming quite crappy and the audience's (and
band's) clothing is hilarious! I bet there are clips on U-tuuuuube...
