Definitely behind the rope. I wanted to touch the keyboards but people were watching. I did go up the stairs to the control room, but could not enter the Holy of Holies.

Kinda silly to not let people touch them as they get played anyway.

They did get a few people up to play pre-marked keys on several of the keyboards at the same time. Turned out to be the final chord of Day In The Life.

Hey Max! Great to know you're still here. And I hope you know I meant "bastard" affectionately!
practice practice practice... that piano aint gonna play itself, unless it does.
No, it doesn't, and I suck at piano. By the way, speaking of pianos, I was in Abbey Road studio #2 on Sunday and they had many of the keyboards that were played on Beatle sessions: The Hammond B3, the grand piano, the celeste, etc. I think Paul got the Mellotron. That one wasn't there. Glad you're here Max. This place isn't the same without you.

Thanks Tele that is good to hear I wondered how you and that piano were getting along... maybe you just need a cutiepie guitar teacher lady to help you along. I enjoyed learning the keyboards just for the insight it gave me towards the guitar (and all of music) not I can play anything worth a damn, but it is all fun.
Cool story about Abbey Road studio, you world traveler, that is awesome. I still check in here from time to time, The Stones are my band and this is one of the sites I use to keep track on them, but...

McCartney acquired the gray Mellotron that EMI bought in 1968.
The one used during 1967 was a rented one.

Max, I did get a Nord Electro 4 keyboard, which does pianos as well as Farfisa, Hammond B3 (with real draw bars), Vox Continental, and Mellotron sounds. I love it and use it for recording....sorry to go off topic here...

Got one of those too Tele. Love it. I have been using cheaper casio keysboards for years ; they also have very good organ stops; very real. Plus the string and brass sounds are phenomenal at such a price. It's any synth or sequencer functions where the casio is really weak.
I like the Nord Electro a whole lot; just got it recently.

Yeah, that's a good one, it's as if it's the original band as it might have been in 70's.
No stories needed, just cools sounds and vibes.

Agreed + the extremely fast run he does for a couple of seconds in there. Great stuff! I think Ronnie's guitar is smooth as silk, as well as played with a wonderful feel - a perfect fit to Keith's sharp tone, imo.
actually it's come full circle and we are focusing on what we appreciate about Wood. While a direct comparison between him and Taylor brings out the worst, focusing of what we like about Ronnie is enlightening to even the most skeptical Taylorite. Ron is for the most part an innovator, when presented with good tunes by Keith and Mick he has excelled as an interpreter. As a copycat to the classic Taylor stuff he falls short, cover guy is not his greatest skill but as a musician who comes up with his own parts for fresh songs he's a great artist. When all's said and done that's what a Rolling Stone and a guitar hero should be.Quote

LOL - Careful now - The thread police have arrest warrants for a few people here. They're probably coming for me too! Oh No! Someone's banging on my door and shouting, "Can't you hear me Knocking?"

yes, the guitars are beautiful here. This version of the "Rooster" is my favorite track off LYL album. But who really impresses me on this version is Billy Preston. It simple what he plays; great church organ, but so god. he hits one chord that is ecstasy; at 2:42 right after "please drive him home.."
Sam Cooke does not add that xtra bar that the Stones have in there.Quote

A much younger Billy Preston aced the organ on Sam Cooke's 1963 version as well.
