Actually, I should have written “Inthe Wake of Poseidon”, not Cirkus.

He certainly played great bass on Cirkus.

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 haveyet to hear. And the end is rather embarrassing as he bends the pitch up andthen releases the wheel before he releases the chord. The vocalist’sphrasing is completely off… Just a bit depressing after seeing Crimson in1969…


 

 

After seeing 5 seconds of this, In think it is the 21stcentury schizoid band. And yes, it does suck. They were using stock Korg,"tape sampler" shit.
