I thought he used a Chamberlin on that tune.

Back around 1973 I was in an Ohio band called Stargate and had gotten my  
M400 the year before and we had worked up tons of tron tunes (including COURT 
 OF THE CRIMSON KING & some originals). We got booked to open for Bob Seger 
 at a club near Lake Erie (SURF PLACE) and did all of our proggier 
material.  Bob sat there watching us from the side of the stage the whole time. He 
came  up to me after and said "Man, that Mellotron sounded incredible!" Next 
time I  heard him a few years later, his band had gotten one! (used on TURN 
THE PAGE  for instance)
I only tell you this because I just heard that tune on the  radio in my 
truck....
