I applaud Gowan for coming up with something new and exciting and fun...and still playing Dennis DeYoung in the background while he's describing the whole thing! Bravo! Nice to have the old and the new together...that's the way it should be!
All you need to do now is have a Gowan vs. Rudess stand battle.
RIP Bob Shindle. One of the best!
Yes sir. Gowan at the Danforth music hall sounded incredible.
What a showman! Styx puts on a great show. It’s must see. Got my tickets to see them again this year. Thanks for sharing!
They are an amazing band!!🤩⚡
I was hoping he would talk about how the wires in the thing don't get twisted and broken. Or maybe it has battery packs and wireless audio transmitters?
I would assume wireless.....but I wonder what they might've done in the old days (I'm sure Gowan didn't invent the spinning keyboard).
check out Jordan Rudess keyboard rig videos for more info on the spinning/tilting stand
These things are usually done by a 'slip ring' where mutliple contacts slide … just search for slip ring explained. a video will do a much better job at explaining than me typing here.
@@InsaneOrder I know what a slip ring is, and I didn't think it would work well for audio. Perhaps they are sending power through a slip ring, and transmitting audio wireless.
I've actually looked into buying one of these before. They're custom made by a company over in Belgium. At least by that company, the stand itself is wired so you're plugging your cable into the rotating portion, which then sits on a base that doesn't rotate where additional cables can exit to be run wherever needed.
This is genius!! Love you Gowan 🙌❤️😎
Thank you for sharing! 🥰
STYX has always been my number #1 band since 1978, just ahead of REO Speedwagon. It’s nice to see this content.
I saw them in my hometown of Taylor Michigan back in the early 2000’s at Heritage Park. Was really cool to see him with the spinning keyboard!
Excellent!!
Well, remember Keith Emerson with a full Grand Piano spinning forwards in the air while playing some challenging music, not just a chord :D
i have never seen anything like this. very cool! actually quite inspriing nice
Outstanding 🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏
We're glad you liked it!🙌🏼
The person who came up with this must have a... criminal mind.
I'll show myself out.
LOL
That's all nice but what kind of keyboard is it?
Larry, that was an awesome story. Thanks for sharing it. 💕
Roflma!! The things we do to entertain!! May the 4rce be w/ you and still rockin and rollin. Not literally.

Flake Lorenz is watching...
That’s not that crazy. Check out Page McConnell from Phish
Do anything....rather than play properly?
What exactly was the point of this video?
The performance is part of the experience.
Retrospective
Pianote have special guest appearances in the members area of the website. Usually snippets go on UA-cam. Jordan Rudess and Jenna Heigis are currently doing some tutorials. I'm fairly sure we'll see Lawrence Gowan showing us some stuff in the near future.
Inspiration for live performance
Don’t you have anything positive to say
Stolen from Jordan Rudess
Gowan started doing this in 1990, so I think Rudess may have stolen it from him.
So back in the 1990s I swear I saw a keyboard player in some band be able to reposition his keyboard into different angles live on stage, but I cannot remember what band it was. Anyone know?
It was like he could grab a bar, reposition the keyboard at some weird angle, slam the keyboard into a new position, release the bar to lock it in place, and he'd be playing with the keybed at a 20degree angle. It was metal af and pretty hardcore.
I seem to remember him slamming it around and it was awesome. Did I hallucinate that?
Maybe Jordan Rudess (Dream Theater), he has an angle-adjustable keyboard like that, but his is not with the fast slams like you’re saying, so maybe not
