I think that's also a short-scale (24.5) tele.

Mica, we both must be channeling ELP. 

I miss Keith Emerson, the best I ever saw.  Absolute matador to stand there looking out at the crowd and playing a keyboard at the end of both arms, 180 degrees apart.  These guys were giants, what with Greg Lake's vocals, bass, and guitar work, and Carl Palmer behind them. 

I saw them touring post-release of BRAIN SALAD SURGERY (just the best album cover, ever) with a QUAD PA.  We had seats in the 20th-something row and there were the two speaker stacks at stage left and right, duplicated some 40-odd rows BEHIND me.  All the tricks, with Carl's drum riser spinning like a merry-go round during his solo, and when the performed 'Karn Evil 9', in the middle of the mostly piano 2nd impression, where you hear the 'steel drum' synth lines, his 8-foot Steinway levitated off the stage.  They'd bolted the piano on a frame on a lift, attached the piano stool to the same frame, belted him in, and here's the whole think rolling end over end.  Yikes !!!

For keyboard players, real piano is kind of like acoustic guitar:  No electric tricks or effects, you can hear everything.  He was a master,  what a shame he's gone.


Love Greg and ELP in general. Keith once told a story about when the rotating piano suddenly and unexpectedly stopped and he nearly broke his nose hitting it on the piano!

Also thanks to majorbedhead for the PT/Steven Wilson post. Big fan here. Nick Beggs does some great bass and Stick work with Wilson.

Thought they had a Dutch singer, and indeed Floor Jansen is a Goirle native. I spent a good bit of my teenage years in Goirle. 8)
