Mellotronists

Hello all "Tron-heads"
FYI:

You might like to know (if this has not been posted before...) 

I picked up this DVD a while ago. IT IS NOT LIVE. It is a mimed & lip 
synced performance in the studio to an audience. Ok, I think some of 
the vocals are live.
The music is from the studio albums tracks. ARRGG!!! Not live and NO 
MELLOTORN ;/ ;)   Pinder is "playing" a Hammond. (only valid on the 
opening of the track "Lazy Day" ;) 

I was really hoping to see some up close, LIVE, Pinder, Mellotroning, 
but no, (SIGH, Argg, and oh well). At least I didn't pay full price 
for the DVD. It is cool for a hardcore Moody Blues fan but if live 
Mellotron and music is desired then this is NOT THE DVD TO GET.

A Hammond? Hmmm...? How did that get in there? Probably they used the 
TV studio Hammond that was available. Maybe they didn't have a 
Mellotron to prop up on stage? Perhaps the Hammond was the closest? A 
Farfisa? No, not heavy and big enough. The Hammond thing will do. It 
looks closed enough (maybe something the producer suggested...;)
