 Topic: Favorite keyboard duos

Favorite duos from a band with two (possibly more) keyboardists.
Procol Harum - Gary Brooker and Matthew Fisher
Kraftwerk - Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider
Van Der Graaf Generator - Hugh Banton and Peter Hammill (whenever he goes for piano)
Jethro Tull - John Evan and David Palmer

Nice! We can also mention percussionist/multi-instrumentalist Morris Pert in Brand X!! I saw them during their "Masques" tour, and Morris had a Mini-Moog mixed in with his percussion set. The band was HOT!!

How about three in one band? Froese, Franke and Baumann  While I never was too fond of Giacomo's vocals I'd still rank the Nocenzi brothers up there with the best of any pork rock keyboardists.

Some duos that have not been mentioned yet.
Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Möbius from Cluster and, later, Harmonia! I just love the way they worked together. The sonic atmospheres the duo created on Musik Von Harmonia are some of my favorites.
Also, I really love the work of Patrizio Fariselli and Demetrio Stratos in Area.
And, although they are far from being my favorite band, I really like the way Graham Field and Dave Kaffinetti work those keyboards on early Rare Bird albums.

Categories strain, crack and sometimes break, under their burden - step out of the space provided.

Atoll had two keyboardists for their 1975 album L'Araignée-Mal. Regular keys man Michel Taillet was joined by Bruno Gehin and his array of keyboard instruments. 1970s Kansas had both Kerry Livgren and Steve Walsh on keys. Non-prog example, but Dire Straits had two keyboard players, Alan Clark and Guy Fletcher, for their last two studio albums.

Oh, yeah! Plus, Goblin Rebirth also features a keyboard tandem in Danilo Cherni and Aidan Zammit (who joined Goblin for a round of touring). <—and those guys, when both Steve Moore (bass/synths) and Ant Paterra (drums/synths)!

Saga: Michael Sadler / Jim Gilmour / Jim Crichton Eloy: Hannes Folberth / Hannes Arkona Allman Brothers Band: Chuck Leavell/Gregg Allmann Ozric Tentacles: Ed Wynne with whomever was in the band: Seaweed or Joie Hinton Toto: Steve Porcaro/David Paich Alphaville: Bernard Lloyd, either with Frank Mertens (debut), or Ricky Echolette
Camel, Moody Blues and Barclay James Harvest had two keyboardists at a certain time. But both were not my favorite periods of the bands.
And for fun:
Rush both Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson play keys...
