I remember reading here that Alembic #12 once belonged to Joe Bouchard from Blue Oyster Cult. During random perusing of concert videos, I decided to check out some old BOC to look for any Alembic action. Lo and behold, I came across a video from the Capitol Centre in Largo, Maryland (where I saw my first concert!). Bouchard is playing an Alembic in this video. If you go to around 1:01:18, you will hear a lengthy bass solo on this instrument. I found an old thread here about Bouchard, but does anyone know anything more about the bass he is using here? Pretty sure it's not #12.

That is a scary pose!  Balancing act indeed.

Maybe there's a hand above what we see,
coming out of a cloud of course  .

They were leaning backwards very carefully against the table and were at arms length for instant grab-a-bility, had one of them tried to take a dive. There was also a palpable magnetic attraction between the two, as well as an envious vibe from the picnic table.
