The guy presenting the video is a bit annoying... but this is quite interesting. Hank used one of these live in 1978 and, I suspect, on the b-side of Love De Luxe.

That earlier model setup in the video sounded a bit cheesy to me..sorry!

I saw the 1978 UK tour at Southport and definitely remember Hank using the Roland synth for Love Deluxe, but I don't recall Honourable Puff Puff being played. It might, of course, have been the drum solo feature, but if so, Hank just used the then-black Stratocaster.
I am certain that Hank used the Fender for The Rise And Fall Of Flingel Bunt.
