Re: [newmellotrongroup] Genesis Live 1973

2012-11-18 by gino wong

I think they were using an M 400 in the studio by the time of Selling England.... I do wonder how they accounted for the difference in sound between the Mk2 strings and the bass accordion for Watcher which was a big part of their show for a long time. Did they have special tapes or did they just roll with what was around.

Surely somebody knows.

I was wrong about the Mk2. It is an M400, visible at about 29 minutes in, its back to the audience. Further, there are choirs in the mix! I guess directors don't like cameras on the keyboardists.

Thanks, Mark-
It looks like a very good transfer, both sound and picture. Nice and clear. The tron appears to be the white-finished Mk2, but I may be wrong. Looks like it is sticking out of a white box in "Watcher".
