It’s really a shame as Michael Giles andMcDonald are from the original band. Peter Giles’ bass playing with thatslapping popping crap is so out of the style of the music. What happened tothat great Fender flat round string sound? He certainly played great bass onCirkus.

Well, I was truly sorry that I found this on YouTube. And I amglad I did not see these guys when they were in LA.  A very lacklusterperformance of Epitaph. I think that whatever the keyboardist is playing forthe “Mellotron” may possibly be the worst sounding samples I have yet to hear.And the end is rather embarrassing as he bends the pitch up and then releasesthe wheel before he releases the chord. The vocalist’s phrasing is completelyoff… Just a bit depressing after seeing Crimson in 1969…


 

 

After seeing 5 seconds of this, In thinkit is the 21st century schizoid band. And yes, it does suck. They wereusing stock Korg, "tape sampler" shit.
