     I wasn't sure Martin/all, I was seeing, "MemoTron" on here? If this is true I will gracefully bow out. Next time I am in London we'll give you another try Martin. I just could not fit a visit in our schedule this time as I have business in London periodically. I come to London 1 - 2 times a year. I may be there in September. If I am still invited to stop by?
     Playing out and at my age, just scared the beJesus outa me carrying around a full size unit again. My son keeps bugging me for one in the house though. My B3 now weighs 21 lbs. I did Have one in the 70's. An original M400. :0)

 
Cheers and respect, Rich D.

I'd rather see the real deal on stage, but this is better than nothing.

I just got it ! Two Memotrons.  Classic line ups had 2 M400 on stage. I thought it had something to do with Soundscapes. I wasn't quite believing that Jakko was on board.  I am very glad I was wrong.

I saw Jakko playing in the Schizoid band twice. His passion for the music of Crim is incandescent and very real. If that is rubbing off on Mr enigmatic it would be quite wonderful.

Well since Mel Collins and Jakko Jakszyk are in this new Crimson, it stands to reason that the pre-1980 material is being brought out of retirement.

Gino, you are going to get some vintage Crimson and that's why they have two Memotron racks. No more gossip from me but it is exciting!
