Here's a nice clip of The Moody blues, from 1969 I think, playing
Legend of A Mind with some nice pinder/mellotron shots...

Enjoy!

These are great. Does anyone know if there is film footage available of
the entire show from 1969?

No problem...

They sound shaky/nervous to me, and the flute playing sounds a tad
amateurish. But still, it's great to see/hear the tron in action so
close up. 

You can hear why they didn't want King Crimson to support them!!!

I don't think Ray Thomas ever really played the flute.   He blew it a bit.

Could make for an 'interesting' new tron sound?

Yeah, back in the 60's playing the flute was "cool" as chicks thought you
were "sensitive". However, if the idea is to gett laid, give me a sax
anytime.

When I was 15, I found out that the piano was much better for that purpose  
than the clarinet. I switched.

Ouch! I started on clarinet in order to graduate to the sax. However, my 5th
grade music teacher told me to switch to piano as I was hopeless on the
clarinet. Damn, even lousy sax players get laid..

My little brother ran over my clarinet with our lawn mower I had left it in  
the grass one spring evening, when I was distracted. He was 11. He should not  
have been pushing the mower. As I look back now, maybe the clarinet or sax 
would  have been fun.
