Hi Frank:
It's all Chamberlin. They were a 'Chamberlin' band exclusively. Richard gave me notes on this.
There's Clarinet, 3 Violins, and then that Brass which is Trombone / Trumpet on two A/B tracks together with eq set brighter on the Trumpet. That's why it's louder than the others. Likely an 800, can't really tell from the back.

It didn't look like an M-1 to me. Could it be an M-4? An 800?

Definitely a Chamberlin. I have the DVD of this show and it has several closeups.

The keyboardist is this strange freaky guy who compliments Jimmy Greenspoon's excellent playing well.

It also looks like this may be in the middle of Chuck's heroin addiction. He looks terrible in these clips.

Such an annoying song.  Right up there with Joy To The World.

Yeah, this was a dark time for TDN (IMHO)....

I felt they totally sold-out for the commercial end... However, one must remember that time in musical history. Pretty dark days...

Captured Live at the Forum (1969)was fairly good LP.  After that, they started sounding like a Holiday Inn lounge act.

They were a fantastic band in the early years. I saw them live in 1970. There are some live clips on youtube from this period and they are outstanding.
