Memory:Lindsey Spratt

This fan memory was written by Lindsey Spratt.

At one of the concerts for Gentle Giant (sometime in the mid-70's), Ray played an extended, improvised violin solo. He used a tape delay and a quadrophonic system where the speakers were placed around the hall (a small place in Boston called the Paradise). He could control the panning between the 4 speakers, bouncing the sound back and forth between pairs of them or having it cycle around the hall (maybe other effects as well). It was great fun, and Ray was clearly enjoying himself as well.
