check' IQ's “live from london 1985“ DVD (also originally released as the
“living proof“ live album) – widge is working a nice ‘tron on there.
also “yessongs“ (esp. wakeman's solo)

etc.
etc.
progressive rock and rural tranquility don't match. true or false?

Erik named the majors dvd featuring Mellotron but there's are others that featured it,only in some moments of the dvd.
 
1.Led Zeppellin-DVD box set:during the '75 tour,who can see JP Jones playing the intro of "stairway to heaven" and "The Rain Song" on a white M400.
2.Jean-Michel Jarre-Oxygen in Moscow 1997:JM Jarre played a modified Mark II Mellotron with a plexiglass back on 2 songs of this dvd.He played it with white gloves but uses it for Fairlight sounds only.Confused
3.The Beatles-Anthology:It's very brief but during "Stawberry Fields"history,you could see Paul McCartney performing the famous flute mellotron intro on a rare Mark V Mellotron.You also see the back of a Mark II sound effects console during the "Lady Madonna" video when Ringo is sitting on a chair and dancing seated.LOL
4.David Bowie-Ziggy Stardust dvd:Don't know the exact title of that dvd but featured an M400 on several songs.
5.OMD-"Architecture and Morality"tour:I don't know if it's out on dvd but remembered that I saw a video of that tour.They used a black Novatron(the same as Mellotron,the company had to change the name in the late 70's) on several songs like "Joan of Arc".
 
These examples are minor ones and featured the Mellotron briefly but Erik already cited the major ones.Wink
