Thoroughly enjoyable with plenty of great pics to accompany the well-researched film. Love the opening 90 seconds without commentary and other gaps in the talking to create an unhurried feel to the doc. Great to hear the isolated Free Four verse and see the brief footage of Rick with bass in the Stay excerpt. Many thanks rael.

Originally posted by Alanko View PostAre there any photos of Nick with a Mica-Sonic bongo set? There are lots of studio photos from the Obscured sessions, or perhaps only a single session. Nick's kit isn't well captured in any of them as he appears to be tucked away in a corner and behind baffles. The Rototoms appear in his live kit in 1972, but I've not seen any photos with the Mica-Sonic bongos. They would be quite small, so a roadie could realistically have brought them onstage for only the songs they were needed on.
Unfortunately I don't have access to better pics at the moment, as I'm away, but for better proof, the Atlanta '73 film also shows them."If I participate in this f**king effort, I hope I'm going to get my gold disc at the end of it. Imagine that!"

If you watch the royal festival hall footage from 69 roger is messing about with an Ace Tone Rhythm Ace, these drum machines were the most common and there were various variants of them. The Ace Bently that Arthur used was the last one as roland bought the brand and it got re branded as the Roland TR77 eventually this morphed into the classic CR78. The Ace Tone that roger was playing on that film was a variation on this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqFRjAZKV8g
