> anyone willing to share any audio from the 1969-74 mellotron years that i don't have or that DGM doesnt sell??
What is it you don't have? I often pray that someone will come up with a bootleg of the 28th October 1973 gig at Birmingham (U.K.) Town Hall. I went to that gig, and in the 40-odd years I've been going to gigs, that STILL remains the best ever. Not loud, yet perfectly audible, Great music, perfectly played AND a good audience atmosphere.
This comment reminds me of when I saw Genesis the first time they played a concert in Miami at the Gusman Philharmonic Hall (March 1974) for their Selling England by the Pound tour.  Perfect sound (not loud) and performance.

> Thanks. Happy holidays to all.
> IN THE COURT -
greatest record ever!  "The Great Deceiver" 4-CD set for me.
Both are GREAT records...
Happy Holidays !
