Ok very cool and now makes total sense… why you can hear the GX-1 on the bootlegs.. thanks!

Thanks for the info 👍🏽

It was a beast for sure. And I remember JPJ saying it tended to break down a lot. I do love the sounds he got out of the GX-1, especially Carouselambra

Yeah… my thoughts exactly. Went down another rabbit hole trying to find 1980 tour photos of JPJ. Only ones I could find was him playing bass. Would appreciate any evidence you could find. My ears are like yours, especially the Rain Song, come on that is not a mellotron.

Hello. I have been watching a series on YouTube about the making of In Through the Out Door. The documentary covered the 1980 European tour. They showed an equipment list. It was stated that because this was a back to basics tour and the venues were small, JPJ did not take his GX-1 on tour. I have never heard this and when I listen to soundboard bootlegs of the tour, to my ears anyway you can clearly hear the GX-1. Anyone else ever heard this before about no GX-1 on 1980 Europe tour? If that’s true then what was used that sounded so much like the GX-1?
