    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Quotes
      • Michael Pagnotta: It was a movement in technology. And the difference between what Vince Clarke or Martin Gore, as opposed to what Keith Emerson could do, was completely different. The battery of keyboards that Wakeman and Emerson had to have on stage, I was the biggest Yes and the biggest ELP fan, so I love the sound of the Moog synthesizer. But, that was not a portable situation.
