What happens when your Minimoog suddenly picks up taxi radio chatter in the middle of a Yes concert?
For Rick Wakeman, it led to Bob Moog himself climbing on stage mid-show to wrap synth guts in tinfoil while 20,000 fans looked on — and giving Wakeman one of his most unforgettable memories.
In this episode, hosted by The Minimoog Book author, JoE Silva, Rick shares hilarious on-tour stories, recounts his first encounters with modular synths, explains how the Minimoog altered the balance of power between guitarists and keyboardists, and why he still believes it’s the greatest synthesizer ever made.
