Sadly, Robert, you weren't close to a real 400 lat night either.  It's a 
keyboard controller inside a Mellotron shaped cabinet. I know this,  because 
I've seen it up close and I know that they don't use a real one. I  think 
Pierre Vielleux  was probably the only member/keys player in TMB  who actually 
used one on stage.

They were fantastic and paid great attention to detail in every  respect; 
the sound was great too!


Any of you "guys" who like the Gabriel era Genesis who have never  seen The 
Musical Box perform before, I highly recommend you check them  out.


For their encore, they played "The Musical Box" and "Watcher of  the 
Skies".  By then, several of the other concert goers who had the  better seats on 
the floor area near the center had left, so I had the  opportunity to see 
them up close.   Their keyboardist had a  beautiful black M400 Mellotron and

I don't remember ever being in such close proximity  (approximately 20 
feet) to a real Mellotron in all my life; what a thrill it  was !


Cheers,



Robert

Sadly, Robert, you weren't close to a real 400 lat night either. It's a keyboard controller inside a Mellotron shaped cabinet. I know this, because I've seen it up close and I know that they don't use a real one. I think Pierre Vielleux  was probably the only member/keys player in TMB who actually used one on stage.

They were fantastic and paid great attention to detail in every respect; the sound was great too!


Any of you "guys" who like the Gabriel era Genesis who have never seen The Musical Box perform before, I highly recommend you check them out.


For their encore, they played "The Musical Box" and "Watcher of the Skies".  By then, several of the other concert goers who had the better seats on the floor area near the center had left, so I had the opportunity to see them up close.   Their keyboardist had a beautiful black M400 Mellotron and it sounded wonderful to my ears.  An RMI Electric Piano was sitting on top of the Mellotron and another keyboard was sitting on top of the RMI.  He also had an organ that I "think" was a Hammond, but it was not a B3 and I don't believe it was a C3 or  A100 either.  There was a Leslie speaker sitting on the far right of the stage.



I don't remember ever being in such close proximity (approximately 20 feet) to a real Mellotron in all my life; what a thrill it was !


Cheers,



Robert

TMB is as close to seeing Genesis in their prime as being there.  It is shocking how accurate they are.  I followed Genesis in the early 70's seeing 6-7 stops each tour (did that with PF before DSOTM too)
and these guys are getting down to the nuance, they are not a tribute band.
I am sure there are any number of people who would allow you to come see and play their Mellotron. We dodo dat.

He got me a pass and I saw them in their final dress rehearsal at Joe Robbie (now Sun Life) Stadium in '94.  I didn't have tickets to the concert the following evening (it rained), but the dress rehearsal was almost 2 hours long and the weather was perfect; I would estimate there were only a couple of hundred people there ?  A day after the show, my friend borrowed my car so he could show Dick and 2 of the female vocalists (all very nice people) around town.  They picked me up from work and we drove them back to their hotel in Fort Lauderdale.  I remember speaking with Dick about Lol Coxhill who he knows personally and is also fond of.

Sadly, Robert, you weren't close to a real 400 lat night either.  It's a 
keyboard controller inside a Mellotron shaped cabinet. I know  this, because 
I've seen it up close and I know that they don't use a  real one. I think 
Pierre Vielleux  was probably the only  member/keys player in TMB who actually 
used one on stage.

the sound was great too!


Any of you "guys" who like the Gabriel era Genesis who  have never seen The 
Musical Box perform before, I highly recommend  you check them out.


For their encore, they played "The Musical Box" and  "Watcher of the 
Skies".  By then, several of the other concert  goers who had the better seats on 
the floor area near the center had  left, so I had the opportunity to see 
them up close.    Their keyboardist had a beautiful black M400 Mellotron and 
it  sounded wonderful to my ears.  An RMI Electric Piano was  sitting on top 
of the Mellotron and another keyboard was sitting on  top of the RMI.  He 
also had an organ that I "think" was a  Hammond, but it was not a B3 and I 
don't believe it was a C3  or  A100 either.  There was a Leslie speaker sitting 
on  the far right of the stage.



I don't remember ever being in such close proximity  (approximately 20 
feet) to a real Mellotron in all my life; what a  thrill it was !


Cheers,



Robert

Sadly, Robert, you weren't close to a real 400 lat night either.  It's a 
keyboard controller inside a Mellotron shaped cabinet. I know  this, because 
I've seen it up close and I know that they don't use a  real one. I think 
Pierre Vielleux  was probably the only  member/keys player in TMB who actually 
used one on stage.

TMB is as close to seeing Genesis in their prime as being there.  It is 
shocking how accurate they are.  I followed Genesis in  the early 70's seeing 
6-7 stops each tour (did that with PF before DSOTM  too)
and these guys are getting down to the nuance, they are not a tribute  band.


I am sure there are any number of people who would allow  you to come see 
and play their Mellotron. We dodo dat.

I'm sorry about your Dalmatian. We had a 12.5 year old named Pongo. We had him for 2.5 years until we had to put him to sleep last December.

Thanks Gino,


I saw Pink Floyd on tour in 1973 (I believe) for DSOTM and again in 1994 for The Division Bell album; another friend of mine from England is friends with Dick Parry their saxophonist.  He got me a pass and I saw them in their final dress rehearsal at Joe Robbie (now Sun Life) Stadium in '94.  I didn't have tickets to the concert the following evening (it rained), but the dress rehearsal was almost 2 hours long and the weather was perfect; I would estimate there were only a couple of hundred people there ?  A day after the show, my friend borrowed my car so he could show Dick and 2 of the female vocalists (all very nice people) around town.  They picked me up from work and we drove them back to their hotel in Fort Lauderdale.  I remember speaking with Dick about Lol Coxhill who he knows personally and is also fond of.


Yes, I would have loved to see PF during the early days, but never did.


Hooking up with somebody locally who owns a working Mellotron in South Florida is about as likely as Emilio and Gloria Estafan inviting me over for dinner.  Even some of my closest friends think it is strange that I have such a curiosity and interest in Mellotrons.


My companion, a beautiful 14 year old Dalmatian is sick and in the final chapter of her life.  I have made a commitment not to travel anywhere until she is gone.  When that day comes, I'm going to call on one of you guys and maybe my dream will come true.


Robert

TMB is as close to seeing Genesis in their prime as being there.  It is shocking how accurate they are.  I followed Genesis in the early 70's seeing 6-7 stops each tour (did that with PF before DSOTM too)
and these guys are getting down to the nuance, they are not a tribute band.


I am sure there are any number of people who would allow you to come see and play their Mellotron. We dodo dat.

Last I heard he was using G Force M-Tron samples.  Hopefully samples of The Streetly tapes.  http://www.gforcesoftware.com/products/thestreetlytapes

Oddly enough, that's how Orchestrons sound too.
