I ever saw Mellotrons live were in Pittsburgh PA, when he toured with 
Yes after the "Fragile" album came out. Almost broke my jaw as it hit 
the floor... and that was just when a roadie came out and hit a 
couple notes to test one! Then Rick's performance, as well as the 
whole band, and subsequent ones - many of 'em with and without Yes, 
were ones I'll not forget, largely due to the "majesty" of those 
Mellotrons! And for one who displayed such true virtuosity & wizardry 
(in more than appearance!) on keyboards, it was great to see his 
wicked sense of humor as well. I'm sure I'm FAR from being alone in 
crediting Rick's serious influence on how MANY of us have played 
Mellotrons and ALL other keyboards since. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the best 
of the best! Glad to see a new album out, too! Congratulations, and 
MANY happy returns to Rick Wakeman!
