Love the sound of a Rhodes. Am I right in thinking the theme tune to the comedy series Taxi was played on a Fender Rhodes.

'Woodstock' by Joni Mitchell has some lovely Fender Rhodes work. Joni used the Rhodes a fair bit in her seventies albums

Some great music, the live version of No Quarter on The Song Remains The Same, Zeppelin’s finest moment imho.

Use the Rhodes often. Grew up with it, and it still rocks.

GC have you got one or do you play a VST of it? I've got a few options using a Nord, but I did have a serious look at a mk8 as some kind of aspirational purchase.
