I was there for that show as well. I got engaged at that show... Didn't end up getting married, though. We broke up the day before our wedding in 1973. It worked out OK, though... a few years later I met my wife. I've been with Karen for 31 years.

That’s very true.

I was fortunate enough to hear Mike Pinder land that atral plane ………right in the Baltimore Civic center…1972

 

Ask Frank, he was there too…

True, you can't fly a Mellotron... a little ungainly for that, but thay CAN take you for a pretty good ride tho' yes?  Ask Pinder!

 

"He'll take you up, he'll bring you down,
He'll plant your feet back on the ground.
He'll fly so high, he'll swoop so low.
He'll fly his astral plane.
He'll take you trips around the bay.
He'll bring you back the same day."

 

Okay, they're talking about Timothy Leary, but they sure used a Mellotron to DO it!  Can't ignore that last note, brass(?), turning the whole way down in pitch and sounding very airplane-flyby-like!  Weeeeee!
