Anyone ever seen this show? The original recording was released back in the 70's, but this show is recent:

I have the DVD of this, wanted to go see them when they toured a year or so back but it was prohibitively expensive (like most large gigs).

The original album was brilliant, kind of weird, synthy, borderline prog rock.
lots of interesting big instrumentation.


I think the keyboardist is using a CME master keyboard with something else underneath.


The second keyboardist has what looks like a clonewheel or stringsynth, and I saw a DX7 being used somewhere for that 'telephone ring' kind of sound.

I was at the show about 4 weeks ago and I really enjoyed it.
I also got the book, so there's lot of details on the actual keyboard players in there if your after a page scan or two.

I have a few photo's on my iPhone I'll upload later. Shite quality, but hey it's Apple :-)

Regards
Sharp

Also went to see the show (in Nottingham Arena) last year. Extremely good, although the acoustics were a bit shite where we were (under some concrete bulkheads, backed up to the wall).

We used to have an audio cassette tape of it back in the 80's, and hearing the unscrewing of the capsule over a hi-fi at a young age is terrifying! :)

Oooolaaaah.
