Whatever the keyboards are, they seem to have MkII Violin samples on
them (both Ian's and Julian Colbeck's keyboards). This is an excellent
DVD and well worth owning. "I Talk To The Wind" is another fine KC
track, as are the Genesis and Asia tracks.

Martin, are these the samples that caused Steve's house to burn down?

Ian is using the Korg M1's standard sounds for this gig... Eugghchh!!!!

I believe this is also what he used for the early schizoid band stuff
with Michael Giles.

Interestingly he seems much more confident and in control for the
steve hackett gig compared to the schizoid band's dvd.
