I believe it's Pete who does that, and Roger has pushed for deeper tracks. There was a famous incident last year where Pete yelled at a fan for shouting for "Naked Eye," and Roger got them to play...

But the Who have mainly been playing ballparks and massive places. They do alright considering it's been the same basic setlist for the past two few tours (though it looks like a couple interesting...
Peter Banks has also said that he was on the Pleasuredome sessions. That would make it the only album ever to include all three Yes guitarists.
(Banks may not be on the album, though-- He said he...
The Allman Betts Band is pretty much done. Closest thing to an official tribute is the "Allman Family Revival" tour, which features both of them and a lot of rotating guests, and is going on now....
There's also a lot of live playing from the Palmer trio. It's a two hour show and about half of that is done with no video at all, including lengthy versions of Tarkus and Carmina Burana (w/solo)....
VII has four songs without horns, though one has flute and another harmonica.
I think they had a quartet of quartet lineups-- Two albums with Troiano, two with Bolin, and then one (not very good) album each with two other lineups.
Peter, Paul & Mary were more or less together for 50 years (taking a few years off in the 70s).
CSN of course lasted a good few decades, assuming CSNY is a different group.
She turned up on the Dream Syndicate's first reunion album, on a track called "Kendra's Dream."
Sounds more like Fanfare for the Common Man. I'm betting it's an intended Emerson tribute.
Which is weird, because his style is anything but. His usual style is mile-wide production, instead of the live-band sound on H&E. Since he didn't get to mix the album, it would seem that something...
Squeeze and Wire have both broken up and reunited twice. Both still together and doing fine.
The Pixies reunion made all the money they should've got first time around.
Not touring was due to stage fright, but XTC made bigger waves afterward. His very low profile since XTC was more a personal choice, but that seems to finally be ending with the new release series.
...
Looking at setlists I see that only Believe Again and The Game were played at most shows. To Ascend was done early in the tour and dropped.
.
I'm wondering how much of this album will get played live, since the next tour will feature Relayer and assumedly the usual greatest hits. If the album is good, they shouldn't shortchange it live...
Hey, "Don't Take No for an Answer" may well be the Tom Robinson Band's greatest song!
If anyone from Nektar is reading this, please consider Boston again. The January '20 show made us very happy indeed, and now we'd love to see it with Mick's lights included (He was ill that night).
Sorry, but that does tend to be the format. And it's not only one person's opinion-- the original list was vetted by the editorial board who suggested a few people.
The same writer previously...
Try thinking of this as something that gives a little mainstream press attention to some great musicians that don't usually get any.
There's no way to do a list like this without getting people...
It's wonderful, and not all that hard to absorb because the full set is really three separate stage shows. Big Science has most of the songs, but the monologues and long instrumentals are really just...
There have been many in Yes history alone.
It's a great solo. Love the Hocus Pocus quote at 6:30.
I do recall an ad in the UK press behind the release of the Owner single. It listed the members of Yes as a five-piece with Jobson, for whatever that's worth.
I'm wondering if it was ever actually recorded? Cinema (the label) didn't last long, so the plugged could have been pulled before he started.
Their releases were all enjoyable though, especially...
Didn't tour behind it though. And he's not on the whole album and only plays one real solo.
I'm sure the idea of a band with two ex-Yes members had more appeal than just one, though.
He was never actually in Flash though, only did a couple days of session work for the first album.
I would have liked to hear what became of the instrumental album he reportedly made for the...
Their fourth and last album for Warners, Mother's Pride, was produced by Todd Rundgren around the same time he was doing the Todd album, and it's great-- sport of a proggy take on the Laura Nyro...
It begins and ends strong, And at its worst it sounds like a band playing, which gives it an edge over OYE.
They are. Mike sounds especially hot (assuming he's on bass). And (again, assuming this is a new recording) the tempo is the same.
Most bands also don't set up that many visuals for a rehearsal, but Genesis are working at a pretty high technical level. If this is a 2007 recording, they went through the trouble of remixing it. In...
I don't believe it is. They are playing it well and accurately, but some thing (drum fills, for instance) are not exactly the same. Also there is a lot of crowd noise on this section in the release....
Classic Steeleye got pretty damn close to prog. The article names King Henry and Long Lankin but you could add Thomas the Rhymer, Sir James the Rose, and the entirety of the Storm Force Ten album ...
More because of Hamburger Concerto, Round Goes the Gossip, and other signs that he's a brilliant singer when he wants to be.
I agree that the order is problematic, but I agonized over it a lot and...
I'd say that Circa tends to be way more traditionally Yessy than this. And if you go by Heaven & Earth, more Yessy than Yes.
Maybe, but it sounds more "power pop" than AOR to me. I like it.
It really sounded like what it was, a bunch of leftovers. Anyone who was an ELP fan would've had five of the 12 tracks already, for a couple of years by then. The solo Lake and Palmer tracks were...
A spotty era for Lou to be sure, but I think lots of fans would call "Street Hassle" a career peak. (And according to the DeCurtis bio, it's the only one Clive Davis was really happy with). Iggy only...
They were all over the map. Barry Manilow was their first signing (actually inherited from Bell when Clive Davis bought it), but Lou Reed, Iggy Pop and Patti Smith came soon after. And R&B was one of...
Graham Parker-- Squeezing Out Sparks (and a few others)
The Church-- Priest/Aura (ditto)
Monty Python-- Matching Tie & Handkerchief (US only)
Thompson Twins-- Into the Gap
Hugh Masekela--...
If you have the US album, you at least get "Tollington Park" over with before you flip it over.
Always thought it was amusing that Wedgwood wrote these two wide-eyed love songs on Cunning Stunts,...
I don't think "Land of Confusion" was ever played live in its original key. The lower one may even sound better.
But, Annie is the only one left from the Annie era band.
Back to Front is also a mixed bag, but the good stuff outweighs the bad.
"Bet You Wanna Take It All" is my favorite Pye Hastings song of the 80s, zippy and melodic. Richard Sinclair's two songs are...
It's far more of a pop album, but I think The Album has some nice moments. All three Hastings tracks are good, and I'd rate Sinclair's "Whatcha Gonna Tell Me" with the catchiest Caravan tracks. My...
I haven't yet, so please explain!
Not one of his stronger tunes, but his vocal on the first bit of "Nine Feet Underground" is lovely. But I wouldn't say he was invisible on that album, since he was Caravan's sole guitarist then, and...
This album is a real outlier for Caravan, since it's the only one where Pye Hastings is pretty much benched. Dave Sinclair does most of the writing and was clearly going in a different direction....
Also Family, Return to Forever and (probably) the Moody Blues.
But Genesis still have active plans to do a tour when tours are being done.
They were also on the first single which predated the album. The truly original VDGG was a university project that barely got off the ground, so it's fair to consider the first full band the...
She also plays the viola on "Raspberry Beret."
Nektar, Kansas and (almost original) VDGG. And if you include nonoriginal but classic-era members, Focus and Caravan.
Weird tracklist, looks like it's at least 2/3 ballads. The solo albums (and of course ELP) had lots of big rock moments.
Not on Phoenix-- Howe had three credits, including two songs he wrote without help. And the guitars were back up in the mix.
"Traveller" on Jet Lag is a highlight of PFM's catalogue for me-- Majestic, beautiful tune. Sounds like vintage Family, which I'd say is a high compliment.
If you're at all into New Orleans music check out the Tipitina's website. They have a weekly series of virtual shows from inside the (empty) club, and they've all been great.
Also, he never got a good review for having the band play two different songs at once.
I'd say you could take the basic tune/ vocal parts of "Wingful of Eyes" or "Shamal" and arrange it with guitars and synths, and you got a pop song. Plus Howlett to my mind had a perfect voice for...
I'd say it was more Mike Howlett's band on Shamal. His instincts seemed to be a lot more Brit-pop (which makes sense considering all he did afterward), so the mix of his songwriting with Moerlen's...
For those who don't know it. here's the single "Obsolete" that Werth did in 1979. Definitely a different style, way more "pub rock," but a nifty tune.

I love Audience, but I think the best thing about them was the songwriting....The extended solos I can do without. Which is why I'm way less keen on this album than the next two. My favorite is Lunch...
