Great solo, and if you want to see a great improv Mini Moog solo by RW,
try "South Side of the Sky" on the Yes "Songs from Tsongas" 35th
Anniversary DVD, where he duels with Howe.
Another great moog player is Jan Hammer...

One of my favourite moog solo is on the "THE REVEALING SCIENCE OF GOD" track by the great WAKEMAN
I hated tftto up untill someone told me about this solo now it is my favourite yes album
if you want the moog listen to any of wakeman's solo albums up
untill 1979 any album after that he still use it but does not changes
sounds as much and the mix of the moog is not as loud

Yeah, and I think David Palmer uses the Orchestron to replace the strings on Songs From the Wood.
I personally think that is a horrid instrument (at least on Songs From the Wood)!

Gonna have to agree with TP on that one, go ahead and hang me as well......

I'll bring the rope!
Lucky Man is a decent song, considering Lake wrote it when he was 15 or something, and Emerson's solo is absolutely brilliant!

Emerson & Wakeman were Moog guys - as previously mentioned, Tony Banks was ARP & Ensoniq.

My favourites:
Lucky Man - ELP
Aquatarkus(Live) -ELP (f**king amazing!)
Trilogy (last section) - ELP
Alsorans:
ColosseumII - The Scorch
Starship Trooper - Rick Wakeman
Nice n Sleazy - The Stranglers

Moraz used many different Moog's on 'The gates of delirium', infact many different keyboards, in the first 22 bars there are 12 different changes of keyboard. The Moog for most of the song is a 'MultiMoog', you can clearly see him solo on it during the song on the QPR May 75 show. He also utlizes the Hammond organ, Mellotron and Fender Rhodes alot in the song.
As for Tony Banks, well he was never much of a Moog user until 'And then there were three' in 1978 when he got his Polymoog, that pretty much replaced the Mellotron for string sounds on that album, though he did cart the Mellotron out for that tour for the last time. With 'In the Cage' he used an Arp synthesizer, likely a 'Pro soloist'. The Arp 2600 was used in the studio as late as 1978, so its a possbility that it is a Arp2600, but I am fairly sure it is a 'Pro soloist'. Live, after 1978 he used an Arp Quadra almost totally for all the synth solos up until the 'Invisble touch' tour, you can still clearly see his Arp Quadra in those videos as well as the 'Three sides live' video.

Im just begining to get which sound is which type of keyboard...and I must say that the Moog and the Mellotron are my favorites...they sound somehow quite dark...
But still i have some questions, which keyboard does Patrick Moraz uses in Gates of Delirium? Or does he use a lot of different?
And the key solo from Genesis in the Cage...is that a Moog?

Most beautiful Moog solos (IMHO):
Patrick Moraz on "To Be Over"
Eddie Jobson on Zappa's "I Promise Not to Come in
your Mouth" (Live in N.Y.)
Peter Wolf on Zappa's "Cy Borg" (Joe's Garage)
Jan Hammer on The First Seven Days", "The
Seventh Day"
Most Kick-Ass Moog Solos:
Emerson "The Old Castle"
Jan Hammer on The First Seven Days, "Darkness;
Earth in Search of a Sun"
Jan Hammer on Billy Cobham's "Quadrant 4"
(Spectrum)
Patrick Moraz "Sound Chaser"
Note the absence of Rick Wakeman from the list...

It just seems so inappropriate on that song. It's a passable (well no, quite poor, really) ballad that suddenly gets mauled at the end by the weaving mess of a solo. Eugh.

NO!!!!!

You may not like the solo on Lucky Man, but you have to admire KE's ability. He said he did the solo off the top of his head.
