I enjoyed this! Some constructive feedback: The woman's voice was mixed too far back vs. how the song was originally done by Pink Floyd where it is much more present. The guitarist doing the solo...
I like Haken musically but the singer is just a bit too bland. He can sound good at times but, in my opinion, doesn't rise to the level of the other musicians.
Is the audio quality worth getting these?
I too saw the Lake/Nektar tour in the late 70's and had just gotten married. My wife loved that show and spoke of it often as it was her initial exposure to my musical tastes. I really did like...
I've taken to heart the feedback that others would not want to know about specific flaws so I will not pursue details and there was nothing egregious, just some very minor (and likely unnoticeable)...
Yes, I overreached on my feedback. Sorry for that.
I will watch this again and find some. Give me a few days.
Yes,I am glad that he continues to play through any discomfort that might affect his precision as a musician, especially if it still brings him and fans joy. As noted by many here, they still enjoy...
I appreciate the replies about Latimer's playing and the health issues that are the likely cause. I knew he had been ill but didn't realize how much it had affected his playing. I agree that there...
I received my Blu-Ray a couple of days ago and watched this last night. I should preface my review by saying that I've been a Camel fan since their original incarnation and have always loved the...
Yes, I think that Rutherford only plays guitar on anything from ATTWT and beyond. He's not the most accomplished guitarist and I would have rather seen Stuermer cover all the tunes and keep...
I did see the documentary and recall nothing being said there but after this length of time and the continued success of what Hackett has been doing, I was just curious whether anything had been said...
I am really glad that Hackett has been flying the pre-pop Genesis flag for a few years now. I've seen him live twice and have all the recent concert videos including the one just released with a...
I received my Blu Ray and have enjoyed a first watch and listen. The DTS mix sounds good on my home theater and I may try just the stereo mix on another view. Great performance as usual for Steve...
Genesis - Afterglow
Like the dust that settles all around me,
I must find a new home.
The ways and holes that used to give me shelter,
Are all as one to me now.
But I, I would search...
I just hope they take enough time to write if they do decide to get together. No question that it could be epic given who's involved. It's all about the timing given how busy they all are.
This thread made me go buy another Samsung 4k player in case my current one eventually dies. I can rest easier knowing I have a backup for my Blu Ray collection.
I enjoyed the interview but was a bit surprised of no mention of the John Payne era of Asia.
Was a fan of Styx back in the day but got tired of DDY's animated stage presence and front man theatrics. As well, I always thought that his harmony vocal lines were mixed a tad louder than the...
The new DT is a very good release. I also like Barstool Warrior best. It's the most melodic song in my opinion.
I am a huge fan of Rungren both in Utopia and solo but was disappointed in this show. Not sure if it's age or desire but his singing voice seems in decline (to me) and his scatting just sounded off....
This was so cool to watch. Breaking down a great song and all the odd meter elements.
I'm interested in hearing opinions on the two versions of Yes currently touring. My preference is for the Anderson, Rabin, Wakeman version partly given that the singer generally creates the...
Won't it really come down to which version executes the material better? I am biased to hearing Anderson and Wakeman vs. a stand in and Downes. Also, Rabin can play anything Howe does but the...
Excellent prog metal from this Italian band: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYulIXdS3Z4
Downes should just make nice with Payne if he wants Asia to continue.
Hello all,
I've been a major DT fan for many years and discovered them when they released Images and Words and the continual play on MTV of Pull Me Under. I've liked/loved almost all of their...
went to his site and asked him.
Not sure how to do that unless he sees this thread.
As much as I enjoyed Cairo when they were a band, why is Brockman doing this really? He seems a good enough drummer to get into another band but wants to showcase himself playing this music without...
I've truly enjoyed all of Hackett's Genesis Revisited releases and concert DVD's. I agree that a couple of singers didn't quite fit the song (Ripples in particular) but still enjoyable. I never got...
I fully agree. Can't understand why they wouldn't want to be involved in this even as guests for certain shows. Life's too short and what are they doing anyway! Mike, Phil and Tony made their...
I, for one, would like to see any of this line up perform with Hackett's Genesis Revisited. If they could just settle on a few of the dates on his tour, most of the logistics are already done. I'm...
I was very impressed with Nad on the DVD and it was the first time I ever heard him sing. He channels the prior sound but still has his own style and makes the tunes his own IMHO.
Your mileage may vary but 90125 and Talk are excellent releases IMHO. Big Generator has some moments but is the weakest of the 3 Rabin era releases. I don't agree that the "band's music is...
Finally, some interesting comments regarding Howe vs. Rabin. Most people just want to bash Rabin but I fully agree that he plays well (yes, please check out Jacaranda) and brought some "crunch" to...
I, for one, would very much want to see Genesis with Hackett involved. His appreciation for their early work and the live DVD of the performance was truly wonderful. I enjoyed some of the later...
Given all the Kansas love in this thread, a few of us in the SF Bay area are starting to communicate about a tribute project but of course, the key will be to find someone who can cover Steve Walsh's...
Thanks for the detailed counter argument.
Actually, he's not that versatile in the opinion of very good drummers who I know that have critiqued his playing. Although he does play in very different genre's depending on the project, his...
I just wish they'd provide a response on whether a DVD of this performance is coming out.
There may be debate whether the Alan Parsons Project is prog but nonetheless, I am a fan of their music. The current line up of the Live Project is releasing a new CD from shows done recently in...
I've seen Palmer with both Asia (multiple times) and with ELP (also multiple times). IMHO, Palmer seems to rush or drag the beat quite a bit. Even on simpler music (Asia), he can rush 4/4 time. ...
Sorry, this music is MEH...
This is EXACTLY how I feel. Completely agree.
Go to the iTunes Store and listen to the Tate version of Queensryche samples. Very poor quality production, musicianship lacking and horrendous re-recordings of some of their past material. Tate...
I really love his voice. He was excellent with Adagio and the Missa Mercuria release.
I have all of his releases both with the Project and solo. Some are stronger than others for sure but I truly love how they covered very different styles moving from straight ahead rock to ballad to...
