The top keyboard is a DX-7. I think the bottom one is a Prophet 5.
He's also doing early MIDI, because that piano on the first song was clearly a sample, not a DX7 sound.
Also, I was glad to hear even Mickey had a tough time with that note just before the guitar solo on Jane. That note always gave me trouble, too.

It think it was the last tour that Grace Slick performed with them. She retired soon after.

White Rabbit and Somebody To Love were fantastic.

Even if many people hate it, I rocked down to We Built This City.
