Sounds to me like Toronto has a very active live music scene.   The Musical 
Box and Peter Gabriel in the same week - I'm jealous.

Did anyone see a Mellotron on stage during the McCartney concert special on 
TV the other night? I thought that someone said he had a 'Tron with him 
during his U.S. tour this year.  With 16 semi trucks full of gear, he 
*should* have had one with him.
Maybe there will be a better shot on the DVD which was released last week.

Also, does anyone know what keyboard he has embedded in that multi-colored 
mock piano thing that he plays?  It looked like a Kurzweil.
