Mellotronists

I am unfortunately watching the Moody Blues on HDNet. Damn, this is sad.
It's a recent concert from LA. They are playing I'm Just A Singer. and it
sucks. The keyboard player is playing some crappy horn synth . That says it
all. Why not use the Mellotron brass? It is such a distinctive sound. And no
string line. 

 

Now it's Nights in White Satin. Justin's voice still sounds good. Finally a
Tron sample.. Thank God!
