I think that Wright is actually playing some Farfisa samples… Strange as there is a Farfisa Compact Duo on stage that seems to go untouched.

This is CLASSIC Pink Floyd… They actually opened some of their shows in 1992 with this song. They did it when I saw them in Dallas … A treat indeed!

Two keyboardists - Sounds like tron 3V samples in the middle section.

On the 8 minute Ummagumma live version there is an organ bit in the
middle that sounds like an Oboe with echo. (Very nice!) I always
thought that it was B3. (Does the Farfisa do Oboe?) Too bad the
PULSE version and the Abbey Road version are 4 minute quickies.

AD on Ummagumma was recorded live. Wright used a Farfisa Compact Duo on that and all the other songs on disk one. You can see it on the picture with them and all their gear. I also saw them live during their first American tour. He used the Farfisa during that tour. He started using Hammonds on the Wish You Were Here tour…
