I love the keyboards on this live version (Mirage). It's a very loud song so you have to really listen to them in the mix, but she's playing some really cool riffs. I love how she slams down on some of the chords accenting some cool play offs with the rest of the instruments. It's a great example where she's functioning as rhythm and helping with the melody/harmony. Also I noticed she plays off both John and Lindseed at different times. Ahhh the key of Christine McVie. A class and style that is so beautifully subtle and genuis to my baby ears. :cool:

Wow, I just noticed/was thinking about that 3-4 days ago. I love listening for Christines keyboard.

I think part of the reason for that accenting effect you recognize in her playing is attributable to the board she was usi . . .

Oh never mind. I feel like such a dick.

A few of you do, & that's all right with me, doggone it.

I see in my e-mail that Yamaha is now manufacturing a Yamaha CP33 digital piano. I wonder if it has the old CP30 sound in its bank of patches. I'd buy one if it did. I sold both of my 125-pound monsters & do miss them.

I still think that you should buy an Alesis Nano Piano. They only go for about $140 on eBay. 256 sounds. As I've told you before, they at LEAST make for a decent backup module. I started carrying mine as a backup, then started midi'ing it as an extra "straight, clean, piano" sound. Now, it's my favorite clean piano sound(don't even THINK about making fun of my old crap here, pal!!!!).:D

But I don't need the following:

1. Acoustic piano
2. Rhodes
3. Wurlitzer
4. Clavinet
5. B3

For the acoustic, I have my Korg digital, which is perfect for me. For the others, I have the Nord, which is also perfect for me. So what do I gain by using the Nano Piano? Essentially, all I want at this point in terms of voices are:

1. Pianet (electrostatic variety)
2. CP30
3. Synth pad, etc. (stuff I can get from the Korg X5DR)

That's why I got all excited when I saw Yamaha was now producing a CP33 digital. I assumed they were trying to tie it in to the CP line, which apparently they are. So does that mean it has the sound of the older ones?

So what do I gain by using the Nano Piano? For me? Protective redundancy! IOW, a CHEAP backup module.:woohoo: So does that mean it has the sound of the older ones?
Go to your nearest Yammy carrying music store........play it.......make up your mind.......then go home and buy it from Musician's Friend!:lol: :lol: :lol: :p
