i don't have the picture in front of me, but i believe the yessongs tour had at least 2 minimoogs, grand piano, 2mellotrons, hammond c-2, RMI electric piano and a sound effects device that provided the explosions for wakeman's solo.

i finally got to meet rick 3 months ago, and just got jon anderson's autograph 5 days ago. my childhood heros didn't let me down.

Sissy?? In 1972 pirotechnics probably werent the safest bet to making bomb noises.
