I believe you are referring to the DUCK AND COVER show, from Berlin. It was available on the ReR QUARTERLY MAGAZINE VOL. 1 #2 (see that here):
...

I will try, honestly, to explain this, and hope I don't regret it later:

Here, in Switzerland, the adjective "progressive" is a non-sequitur. We don't need or want to feel forward-thinking,...

Not once, and I'm here for ten years, have I seen cheese with holes in it ! :p

OP: It's a crazy good record, and one that skipped my radar, at the time. But trust me on this: We don't care about "prog" here. That concept is alien to a musical society that fancies itself...

I believe it was Jim Irsay, who owns the Indianapolis Colts.

JACK BRUCE : ROPE LADDER TO THE MOON - from "Songs For A Tailor"
RAY SHULMAN: WINNING - from Gentle Giant's "The Missing Piece"
BOB DRAKE: LYCANTHROPE - from Thinking Plague's "In This Life"

Lucky bastids ! :p. It pains me to have not seen any of this stuff, in the flesh. Thanks for posting the photos.

Thanks for rehashing this thread. Been listening to the Stormies, after a long time. Still good stuff.

Question: I recall that they reformed a few years back, with F. Zago from Yugen replacing...

The unfortunately titled "Thank You, Mr. Churchill" is one of the baddest-assed releases in recent years:

^^^ Chris: Since you asked..... I can only speak for myself, so......

Besides being an able player, Yehuda is our tried and true friend. And it's partially an emotional thing. It was tough to...

Well, we're gonna see. I don't yet know François, but he's now in over his head, poor guy ! :D

No offense to François, but Yehuda K. would have been the obvious and best, new addition. Nonetheless, we go on.

Led Zeppelin: "THANK YOU" from Live At Blueberry Hill.

Now, I look closer, and you're maybe right. I just saw something about a 6 disc set, and didn't see the VA bit.......

Has anyone heard this mini LP box ? Curious12700

A relatively-unknown Aerosmith, opening for Mott The Hoople.

801

Musta taken hours to draw the flex-points for the E Piano panning. I'm in, I'm a fan..... :up

Aside from the instrumentation, I personally don't hear much correlation to Egg, or ELP, for that matter. But, that's what makes this interesting:

The playing is WAY slick; the chops are from on...

Yep, same show I mentioned, I forgot they spoofed Siberian Khatru. Thanks for the reminder. :up

PS: Gary started playing the Tweedly dee dee, tweedy dee line and a laughing John Weathers joined...

1999, on vacation in Istanbul, went to the Mosque of Hagia Sophia. It was actually closed, but my then-girlfriend conned our way inside. I was whistling "Stairway To Heaven" under my breath, when I...

This has always been my fave of the studio stuff. Even the silly parts worked, to my ears. I can remember, though, how fans of PF Nancy and Pudding &G etc. were somewhat doubtful........ But,...

Yeah, but where's the fun then, if you can't speculate, pre-suppose, imagine, guess, fill in the blanks, and make it all matter, nonetheless. :)

My fave is the title cut. Just Anthony and Chris....

Gorgeous ! Good on him. :up

Um,...... if nobody mentioned it yet, there's STARS AND STIPS', "NEVERGREENS". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvvOqall7j4. For the record, while I love Present From Nancy, and all things...

Whoa ! Thanks for the rec. The bass solo at the 18 min. mark is just ridiculous ! :up.

Maybe it's still on a reel, somewhere ? Would love to hear it !

Yes, a kind of fugue. I had written the melody line and counterpoint, Sanjay added a third line, and played all 3 on piano. And it's pretty funny image of Jon A. that you just made enter my mind ! :D

But the worst attempt was mine, remember ? I was singing away all jolly and semi confident, until I looked up, thru the studio glass, only to see nobody there. My aspirations as a singer were...

An attempt at studio trickery because, while I could play that line on guitar, to play it on bass was impossible, for me. :)

Thanks for your comments, gents. This was a really FUN record to make. And CRISIS IN CLAY, too. Bob and I were often in stitches.

Just for clarification, Scrote: Keith didn't play on that tune you...

Many great examples, so I thank you all ! :up

That is a perfect example. I thank you.:up

I'm doing workshops next week, for late teens, partially involving odd time signatures. Can you please give examples of songs by current, fashionable bands THAT KIDS TODAY MIGHT LISTEN TO (I dunno,...

Am I the only one reminded of The Monkees' STEPPIN STONE ? :)

Sadly, I can't see this in my neck of the woods. But personally, I miss M & M, like the dickens ! :p Love you, Ladies !

Thanks for the heads-up, man !! Auto buy. Same for the Todd D. (y)

NP: Christine Groult: "ETINCELLES", because much of it fits your description quite well. >> Themes are repeated, motifs...

I'm fairly certain that would have been the time Blasquiz infamously lost his temper with the Hawkwind fans, and began the Magma show by screaming into the mic, "FUCK HAWKWIND ! WE ARE MAGMA !!!...

Sorry to hear of Deke's passing. Back in the day, he was one of the few people able to make Roger Trigaux laugh aloud. And the only guitarist I'm aware of, besides Hendrix himself, that he admired.
...

Agreed. The same could be said about the two before it - Bridges To Babylon and Voodoo Lounge.

Fantastic ! :up

For me, Bauhaus, Japan, Talking Heads, Wire, etc., have nothing to do with AVANT GARDE. Neither do the Ambient artists so far mentioned in this thread.

TAPED RUGS has come closest to answering...

That's the best news I've heard in a while. Wow. :drool

Hate to interrupt the love-fest for this album, but it's no secret that I found it (and the following, "Les espaces inquiets") a huge let-down, after the first 3 proper albums. To my ears , they were...

Ah, my Brother, your memory is failing you, a little bit . No problem, as there has been a lot of water under the bridge. But, I was there, too, March 31st, 1977. The first act was the comedy team of...

Total fanboy of GG, to this day. But I'm usually astounded that IN A GLASS HOUSE get such high merit with fans.

And funny how people hear stuff differently. I would have never equated that piano...

Mississippi Queen

If i didn't mention it, back in the old days of this thread, LITTLE RED FRY UP ("Spyglass Guest"). Superlative drumming by Andy M.

Yep, thanks for that. A gentleman is exactly that. (y)

Dunno. I saw Alan W. play quite a few shows with a broken (?) ankle. The guy is normally a trooper for Rock n Roll. So, if he needs to sit one out, after 40 plus years, I'd be inclined to give him...

Subject close to my heart. I wrote about it, extensively, in 5 editorial installments (like the 5 stages of grieving) for EXPOSE' magazine, some 15 years ago. My opinion has not changed. Progressive...

Whoa, Valby would kick it into overtime, unless your guests are prudes. ;) Surprised he's still around.

OMG, Geez ! I just watched a 1 1/2 hour documentary about her. Her voice was utterly HIDEOUS, yet somehow hysterically entertaining. :lol

Hi, man: I assure you, this is no joke. I've heard a bit, and it's great. Doesn't sound a thing like Nirvana. Sounds like Aranis. (y)

Hey, Ronmac: regarding your post no. 58 -

Did you realise that most of the CD reissues of Monster contained an ironic, single letter typo (on the booklets, tray cards and disc surface). Changing...

Here's ZZ Top, singin' 'bout pork chops. Tough tune.

"Le Mariage Du Ciel Et De L'Enfer" :up :up

Also the first three albums proper.

I beg of you to heed not the words of the AZ Ninnies; They will try to sell you on the weak sister-ish, "Phase...

Nice to see some Love here for METABOLIST, and THE WORK, and UNREST WORK & PLAY. I'd add, though I imagine some are not exactly of the parameter in question):

LEMON KITTENS: "We Buy A Hammer For...

Yeagh, the news smarts, something fierce. Airplane were the soundtrack of my youth. Thought I should mention BARK and LONG JOHN SILVER, but Mr. Spellbound beat me to the best of both worlds, in post...
