odds and trivia
The gear used at this Friars gig: (thanks Andy King)

An approximate list of the equipment Tangerine Dream used at Aylesbury, Friars Vale hall in 1975

Edgar Froese:
Mark V (double Keyboard) Mellotron

M400 Mellotron (capable of producing three different sounds)
PPG1002 synthesizer
Upright Piano

White Fender Stratocaster Guitar
EMS VCS3 synthesiser

Synthanorma Sequencer (connected to the EMS VCS 3)
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.
