As far as I can remember I cant re-collect seeing any Nord 1's ever being used live on TV (even from watching old videos). From 1997.....its been a case of Nord 2 + Trinity/Triton. That has been the staple diet of live acts. From about 1998/9 we started to see quite a bit of JP8000 action.....
Since 2002 Ive seen *very* little in the way of proper synth playing. Ive seen some dire performances of people using the Korg MicroKorg toy.....pathetic (PetShopBoys would you believe).
This present situation is so far removed from 80's live bands. One of the reasons i love(ed) 80's music so much is because keyboardists loved their synths...and boy did they like showing them. This years Live 8 was a real let down for synth spotters.....

The SynthWizard has some advice - Back in the 1980's music was better, TV was better, films were better. Not to mention fashion.... Let me help you relive the past with some classic 80's sounds from my vintage synth collection....
