+TheOmanJam Agreed! He's never been a "show off" lead guitarist like most, but one that always concentrated on the intricate technical details and perfect sound, which deserves a massive amount of respect.
This is the RMI Electra Piano 368X. He replaced the Hohner Pianet N in his setup just to play this song. The Hohner didn't have enough keys to play the into. But he attempted to do play it in the Pianet early on at the tour with a very weird octave down shift at the middle. One day he forgot he had to do this and ran out of keys mid intro, and just stopped, I think, that's when he decided to replace the Pianet with something with a bit more keys (the RMI had 68 keys, the Pianet only 61). But I do like the sound of the intro on the Pianet, with the weird octave down and everything, I've been practicing it lately on my Combo Pianet
Terrific recording!
Hackett makes this performance, absolutely. Not that I am a Hackett-ite - he just does. They chucked away a great musician when they let him go.

ah yes, GENESES
Nice find! Obviously a very early sounding electric piano with no sustain pedal :)
+Paul Rahme Was it a Hohner Pianet?
+TheOmanJam No idea! Could've been?

Wow thanks for the details. This is pretty amazing info :)
It's an RMI electric piano
The ticket stub says "Geneses." Would that be plural of "Genesis?"
$4.40 - that's hilarious. Usually concerts were $9 - $10.
I loved Genesis - old and newer. I love Peter Gabriel too
opening section on an RMI electric piano. ugh.
Not the best Electric Piano tbh
