Wait a minute, Frank.  I think that actually did happen.  Mike said it was the damnedest thing he ever saw...and that they really wished you'd waited for Legend Of A Mind.

Once I went to see the Moodies when I was on LSD back in 1972 I think. I had this vision that Mike Pinder got sick and would be unable to continue and that I would go up and finish the show. I was ready... Thank God that didn't happen. I'm fairly confident that I would have hit one chord, lifted off from my seat, flown out over the audience, circled the room and flown out the door.

Yeah, you would think that it would be an HONOR to play those mellotron parts, and any decent musician would be able to copy the parts exactly with the right sounds (samples). 

It kind of bugs us as we would all love that gig!

Harumph.
