From George:

Recently, I began scanning old negatives from the Geils days. I’m attaching one. This is what Seth saw each night when he played his piano. He had a clavinet and some the mixers for his piano pickups sitting on top of his piano. He also had a mirror mounted on the piano so he could see what was going on onstage as he played ( since his back was to the band).
I took this picture before a show, the camera was pointed at the mirror. You can see Steven’s drums and Magic Dick’s harp stand reflected in the mirror.
