Moog Music Forum

I checked out Elvis Schoenberg and the Orchestre Surreal last night. They were doing a set of mostly big-bandish/Zappaish arrangements of Hendrix tunes. It is a big, loud group with a string quartet, eight brass players, guitar/bass/drums/keys, percussion, several singers, dancers, . . . Anyhow, they don't play too often, but are a treat. The highlight was a version of little with with electric sitar, string quartet, and vocals.

An additional treat was that Keith Emerson was in the crowd and played a bit of "Tarkus" for us. Alas, no Moogs in sight.

That's great!!!

Darn, I must find a way to post some of my Emerson pics with the Moog modular he still carries around on tour (my pics from the Tarrytown NY gig in 2006)

Anyhow, they don't play too often

Yeah, I'll bet they don't. That sounds cool, though.
