Mike Garson's Keyboards and Synthesizers
Garson's stage rig is elegant and powerful. His piano is a Yamaha GranTouch Disklavier digital piano. "They put a real piano action in there," says Garson. 'Feel is really important to me, and it feels right." Atop the GranTouch sits a Yamaha Motif 8, to the left of which are a fully pumped-up Kurzweil K2600 and the remote for an offstage KSP-8 effects processor. A pair of M-Audio BX8 monitors flank the piano and on its music rack is a Freehand Music Pad Pro, which holds Garson's charts. Yamaha P90 and Kurzweil PC2 digital pianos are placed offstage.

No stranger to road life, Garson has recorded and toured with Bowie since the early 1970s. On this outing, his rig included a Yamaha Motif ES8 synthesizer and DGT2A Disklavier GranTouch combination. Both units were connected via MIDI to a Yamaha P90 which provided additional sounds, and a vintage 01V digital mixer housed in an offstage rack, plus a variety of outboard effects.
