I'm Your Captain/Closer to Home.  It's on the live album from 1975.

M400 strings/flutes starts at 3:40, fades at 4:50 then comes back near the end.  Craig Frost touring with a tron just to do a part of one song.  It must have been Rundgren's idea.

Saying a Mellotron is pitchy at times is like saying, "Is it me or is the accelerator on my Toyota sticking?"
