Mellotronists

I went to see this Canadian Genesis tribute last night in Cleveland...at the Palace Theatre. 
Like stepping thru the Time Tunnel into 1973. I couldn't believe the place was filled and 
the audience went nuts. These guys are good...not jaw droppingly good, but good. A fairly 
accurate re-creation of the Selling England By The Pound show, with lights,backdrop, and 
costumes & Gabriel's stage banter.
 I was told however, by a friend who was up close, that what appeared to be an M400 was 
actually just a shell/prop. I thought as much when I heard four sounds come from it, with 
full keyboard range. Choir/Violins/Brass/Flute and even the lawn mower sound on I Know 
What I Like so apparently it's one of those tron shells with a midi controller inside playing 
samples. It sounded good in any event.
  This is as close as we're going to get to see the Genesis reunion we'd all love to see, 
unfortunately.
