  It warmed my heart to see Gino Vannelli on your list (my brother-in-law was the bassist on the Brother to Brother tour)...even before watching this the first tune that came to my mind was &quot;Living Inside Myself&quot;

  I came on here expecting Genesis, and sure enough, it was there. <br>CP-70 = Tony Banks, the GOAT! :D <br>His CP work in his solo albums is gorgeous.

  My first technically professional job as a musician was with a gospel group that is still the only group I ever worked with that had their own tour bus. But it turned out that they didn&apos;t hire me for my awesome seventeen year old bass skills. They hired me for my strong back. &nbsp;Their keyboardist had what was then thought of as a &quot;full tour rig.&quot; &nbsp;That was a Rhodes suitcase 88, a Hammond B3 with Leslie. and a CP 80.

  &quot;Steppin Out&quot; definitely starts with the CP70 but then gets regular acoustic piano layered on top, along with a lovely glockenspiel.

  The moment you started playing this thing, I immediately realized that this was the sound of Genesis all over the “Duke” album, and more beyond there.

  I appreciate the fact that you look joyful when you&apos;re playing.

  Those two Genesis songs were exactly what I immediately thought of. As far as I know, they were always used with the venerable Boss CE 1 Chorus. Tony always had his own distinctive sound.<br><br>And the fact that Phil and Peter also used the CP 70... The apple doesn&apos;t fall far from the tree.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doMNBQB2kWs&amp;t=429">7:09</a> So, if you look at the footage of Don’t Stop Believing from Journey’s Escape Tour Live in Houston, Texas 1981, you’ll see that Jonathan Cain brought only a bright red Yamaha grand piano with a Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 on top of it for the tour and not a CP-70b like he often did for future tours!

  The CP-70 was used a lot by Brazilian pianists in the 70s, especially by Cesar Camargo Mariano, who has a great rendition of Madalena, written by Ivan Lins, sung by Elis Regina. You got to check it out!
