I believe that was the Osaka bootleg made by an audience member...not great quality but apparently the guy was close enough to Pinder to pick up his playing and it is pretty good stuff... Pinder really has control of the volume pedal dand is oing some nice fades and does some good things on Out and In and at the conclusion of Have You Heard. --- On Thu, 9/13/12, Bruce Daily <pocotron@yahoo.com> wrote:

A nice bit, thanks. The related videos on the page led me to the "Moody Blues - Higher & Higher/Out & In" video, a 1974 sound-only recording from Japan. Poorly recorded (probably from the audience), it is still an example of how good the MK2 can sound when the motor is servo controlled and the line voltage is stable. Pinder has full possesion of the instrument. Worth a listen. -Bruce D.

Charles did this. Nice work. In a message dated 8/22/2012 7:16:58 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, jandjstrz@verizon.net writes: .....that's what I am." Submitted for your amusement. Someone got the idea to string all Mike Pinder's Mellotron stuff end to end. (No singing - sure that will be a relief to a few of you guys that don't like the MB). .....just a compendium of what Mike did on the keys in the early days. Not sure all of this is even Mellotron, as I believe Question and EGBDF had some synthesizer in it, but it is entertaining to hear the variety of sound from one guy. Enjoy, ........or torture someone with it. |
