Pinder = Mellotron Pilot Re: [Mellotronists] Moodies on the Dime....

2006-07-25 by Jim & Janet Strauss

Wow,...that's a show that I would have loved to have seen, ...

(although the show I saw in Baltimore Maryland in 72 was pretty good).

Lots of selections from TOCCC - my favorite Moodies album, (and drat...I only got one tune from that...they ;opened with Gypsy).

I wrote the playlist down and stuck it in my recently released (back then) EGBDF vinyl.

Yep...still in there...let's see...........................................:

1.Gypsy

2.Tortoise & the Hare

3.Tuesday Afternoon

4. After you Came

5.One More time To Live

6.Our Guessing game

7. Are You Sitting Comfortably?

8.The Dream

9.Have You Heard? (The Voyage)

10.The Story in Your Eyes

11.Nights In White Satin

12.Melancholy Man

13.Legend of a Mind

14.Question

15. Ride My See Saw

What I remember most was :

a.)Mike Pinders performance on E. guitar - jamming with Justin for that rousing end to "After You Came".

Don't know what he used but he had a white solid body on his lap while sitting behind the mellotron...

b.) landing that droning astral Plane in the Civic Center at the end of Legend of a Mind....just knocked me out!

He could really handle that pitch control live.

Thanks again for the link-been listening to it today.If anyone's interested I'll be glad to start a vine for this show.If interested e-mail me privately with address and promise to re-vine.

Below are the comments from the dime web site.I will add that on disc 1 Justin's vocals are low in the mix and there's seems to be a skip(lp type?)during the Voyage along with a few performance cliches on that track.But yes the Mellotron is out there!

I don't recall ever seeing any Moody Blues shows on Dime from the 1973/74
"farewell" tour, so here is one:

This is a very good audience recording of one of the last performances with
Mike Pinder. His mellotron is very prominent throughout the show. The
performance is excellent, with tracks from each of the "classic seven" albums.
I don't know the exact date and venue, but based on the band's comments, they
are in Japan. They played several dates in Japan in January 1974.

It's an audience recording, but seeing that "his mellotron is very prominent
throughout the show", I figured I'd pass this on....

What he really handles well is the expression pedal. You 
NEVER hear any tapes ending... And the tron always fades 
in and out. Very impressive.
