The Mellotron Group

Sadly, Robert, you weren't close to a real 400 lat night either. It's a  
keyboard controller inside a Mellotron shaped cabinet. I know this, because 
I've  seen it up close and I know that they don't use a real one. I think 
Pierre  Vielleux  was probably the only member/keys player in TMB who actually 
used  one on stage.

Last night, I had the pleasure of seeing The Musical Box perform  "The Lamb 
Lies Down On Broadway" at The Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood,  Florida.


They were fantastic and paid great attention to detail in every  respect; 
the sound was great too!


Any of you "guys" who like the Gabriel era Genesis who have never  seen The 
Musical Box perform before, I highly recommend you check them  out.


For their encore, they played "The Musical Box" and "Watcher of the  
Skies".  By then, several of the other concert goers who had the better  seats on 
the floor area near the center had left, so I had the opportunity to  see 
them up close.   Their keyboardist had a beautiful black M400  Mellotron and 
it sounded wonderful to my ears.  An RMI Electric Piano was  sitting on top 
of the Mellotron and another keyboard was sitting on top of the  RMI.  He 
also had an organ that I "think" was a Hammond, but it was not a  B3 and I 
don't believe it was a C3 or  A100 either.  There was a  Leslie speaker sitting 
on the far right of the stage.



I don't remember ever being in such close proximity (approximately  20 
feet) to a real Mellotron in all my life; what a thrill it was  !


Cheers,



Robert
