As I wandered around the stadium in the hours preceding the start of the concert, I thought of all you lucky Oasys owners and also thought you may like to see this...
Tony Banks had three keyboards on stage - an Oasys, a Wavestation (I think) and a.n.other.

It´s an O76. You can see that from the distance of the In/Outs (SP/DIF) to the left end of the keyboard.

I would love to see Genesis. I saw them years ago and it was a great show. Glad to see Tony is playing an Oasys. No wonder they sound so good.

I saw the show in Paris and think the OASYS is more commercial ad because tony use the OASYS less than 10% of the time..........

Hey Eric - it was awesome, to be honest.
For those younger members who maybe don't know Genesis - they were totally awesome. I have seen Genesis several times now, the last time being 16 years ago - and I have to say these are musicians simply of the highest caliber. They play brilliantly together, have immense songwriting expertise, and have a truly expert production team. The sound quality was just breathtaking, more than 60,000 people packed into a stadium that erupted into life and who experienced a performance of outstanding class. What other act would you see play a set, non-stop, for just about 2 hours 30 mins. The only break was the two minutes for the 'more.. more.. more.." shouts when they finished then came back on for an encore of another two pieces - ending with the superb "Carpet Crawlers".
Stunning is the only word I can use to describe it - and what made it truly wonderful for me was to have my 10 yr old daughter standing on the chair behind me holding my shoulders and arms, dancing, singing (despite her knowing none of the words) and having a great time with me.
An evening - and a moment - that I will treasure for the rest of my days.

The A90 is a great midi controller, as the Oasys was the 76 Tony may of just played the sounds of the Oasys off the A90.

This was absolutely a shame - Toni played the Oasys just for some cords - he never played it neither with both hands nor longer than few seconds.
My impression was "its just a KORG commercial" too.
