The

An approximate list of the equipment Tangerine Dream used at Aylesbury, Friars
Vale hall in 1975
Edgar Froese:
Mark V (double Keyboard) Mellotron

PPG1002 synthesizer

ITA Mixer (10 into 4 channels)
2 X 200W Marantz Amps
4 X Expo speakers
Revox A77 Echo machine (with Dolby noise reduction)
Chris Franke:
Moog 3P modular system (plus 960
sequential controllers) sequencers.
*By
this time the Moog was built into a single large cabinet to make it easier to be
set up at concerts.
During their 1975 tour of Australia (earlier in the year)
this cabinet was accidentally shipped upside down,
the upshot being that the
heavy transformers fell off in transit.
When the Moog was later plugged in
Chris Franke received an almost fatal electric shock
and the circuitry was
instantly burnt out, practically ruining the entire tour.
