WACF trivia for ya.

Michael Anthony played Keys on one song during this tour. The song should be obvious because of the tour. But what was unusual about the keyboard.

This maybe common knowledge to you vh heads, but it is a found VH memory for me that I do not hear about much.

Well the song was And the Cradle Will Rock, but I'm not sure what was unusual about the keyboard.

correct on the song. And I can only speak for the Houston concert. but here is a clue.

If you have some of the old early studio photos from some later recording sessions, you can see ED use what I am talking about as a rack mount...

Yep, it was an electric piano going through an MXR flanger, and then into Marshalls.

DIng Ding ding... we have a winner.

the keyboard stand was a hollowed out A-bomb shell.

It can be seen in some rare studio photos being used as a guitar effect rack for Ed.

Glenn- Ed found a WWII practice bomb (non exploding) he used to mount one of his delay pedals in it wich he used for that last divebomb sound at the end of Eruption. It was like 6 ft tall. If you've got the Club Days issue of the INSIDE #8 there's a picture of it in there.

Steven B, I don't have that issue of INSIDE, maybe I better order it. Thanks for the info.http://www.vhlinks.com/vhlforum/smilies/smile.gif

That issue is sold out I believe. It was a good one. I know, that sucks. Sorry.
