Street Life 1973

Eddie Jobson playing the perspex violin thru some wild effects (VCS3?)
He is playing an M400 but I can't tell what sound he has selected.  
Can you?

Everytime I see a shot of Eddie live he looks he shouldn've been a female.

Hey! Play nice. Yes more or less threw him out of the 90120 or whatever the hell that era of the band was called because he showed up with a makeup artist and wardrobe person and hairdressers for the video shoot for " Owner Of A Lonely Heart" It was just too much of a shock for Chris Squire. That's his entire history with the band is his very brief appearance in that video. He can be seen on the rooftop bit.

I must add that I've seen Mr Jobson twice live on both of the UK tours. First show was a $2 concert with the Bruford/Holdsworth lineup featuring CS-80, MiniMoog, Taurus 1 pedals, Hammond C3, maybe an electric Yamaha Grand, certainly lots of electric violin - all played and mixed beautifully and good and loud. An incredible sound with Wetton and Bruford supporting the dueling Jobson and Holdsworth, playing at their peak. Second show was supporting Jethro Tull. Probably no Mellotrons involved.

Sounds like Flutes.  Listen to the very beginning as he harmonizes the tron 
along with the electric piano.  Also at the part in the song right after 
Brian Ferry sings "don't ask me why I'm feeling blue/Because loving you is 
all that I can dooooooooooooooooooo!......"

Speaking of ways of dressing, Brian Ferry dresses like he should be 
bartending at a firehall wedding.  Nice finger snapping, too!
