I generally use the same set-up for whatever I'm working on... but this goes in phases.
For quite a few years, I had a five keyboard set-up which I used for both Pendragon and Arena. In the later stages that consisted on two Korg 01/wfds, a Roland A90, a Roland A70 and a Moog.
Then I decided I needed to update the system, and I discovered the Triton Extreme... which I loved. Initially, I replaced one of the 01/Wfds with a Triton, but it didn't take me long to replace both! Then it occured to me that with these longer and more flexible (and much more powerful) keyboards, maybe I didn't need to take five out with me. That's when I decided to get the third (weighted keys) Triton, and go for the three keyboard set up.
In answer to you question... I first used this system for the Neo gig in America, and then I used it for the Pendragon tour.. and yes... I will use it for the next Arena dates.... :)

I remember you took about 7 on the Visitor-tour didn't you?

And I remember a wooden retro-polymoog (or something like it) as well? It was put on the right (from audience perspective, if I'm not mistaken....

...And now we will see Clive glowing blue on stage due to the backlights in the Triton-E's screens! ;D

What heads do you use, or is everything loaded into the Tritons? I have not had a chance to play a Triton Extreme, but can you assign 3 keyboard regions to different channels?

Clive told me a while ago that he maxed out the sample memory in the Triton Extremes especially for all his samples.  All his sounds are there as well. 

As for the regions question, you can assign 3 keyboard regions to different MIDI channels, if that's what you mean. :)

So it makes for a very portable experience ;)

Thanks

Clive, can you tell us about the classical singers that can be heard on "opera fanatica"? Is it real samples from classical singer that you used within a sampler? Sounds great
