When I saw Steve Hackett shortly after he left Genesis, his band had three
sets of Taurus pedals: one for Steve, one for the bass player, and one for
Steve's brother who also played flute (and sax, I think).  Steve's brother
had his set mounted waist high and played them with his fists.


Three? Outrageous! Steve played them in later days with Genesis (clearly
visible on the 'Seconds Out' cover shot), but I didn't know he used them
with his own band. And I thought *I* was obsessed with them! John's chief
role in the band was as flautist, with bass pedals as second instrument, and
rhythm guitar as third. I don't know anything about him playing sax, though.
