Mellotronists

I think that counts, given that you were what, 19 at the time?

I remember setting up my trons between acts at ProgFest '93. I was standing
at Anna's spot, and brought up the choir. I played some of the Lamb (Silent
Sorrow in Empty Boats?) and the people in the crowd cheered! Didn't expect
that... made me suddenly self-conscious... anyway, before the show I ran up
to front of house, said hi to the sound man, and asked "may I?" and bumped
up the fader for the choir tron a couple of inches. Then I said "believe me,
this will be great!"

And it was.

Mattias you were so full of 19-year-old prog energy - I remember you blew
over the cymbal stands a couple times.

That was history, dude.

Sorry about this but the first time I saw a Liveband use a Mellotron was
with my own band Änglagård...Thomas was standing on my right.
 
Does that count...?
