Now we are getting into Prog Rock territory that featured some highly talented keyboard players like Rick Wakeman and Keith Emerson.
Don't get me started.
Focus were very good...and you're right, each track is a gem. Emerson and Wakeman were awesome...they used C-3's, if I remember. Emerson also used an L-100.
I actually met Keith Emerson in the Montreal Airport...our then Yamaha keyboard manager, Paul, knew him from years back, and they had a grand chat...I believe Keith was on holiday.
Very nice guy.
He was using a Yamaha GX-1 synthesizer(below) in ELP at the time, so was always in touch with the company.(sorry for going a bit OT)
Did you ever see Yes or ELP "live"?
