Steve Hackett
Edensong / The Night Watch
FIRE!
Schnellertollermeir
Mr. Ho's Orchestrotica...
I would expect a number of good waves in that surfing list. It would be a shame to miss any of those shows. Glad I'm not choosing.. :-)
I have seen them quite a few times and they are always excellent ( a few of them live not too far from Ottawa), especially the release of Dalmak when they had the Turkish musicians along with them....
Hope you open again... it appears that both Quebec shows have been cancelled. Well ProgMontréal has reported that and as well there are lines drawn through the Quebec gigs on the Gong Website

Oh man that was a great show. Way more intense than I thought it would be. We ended up imbibing with the band until sunrise. Speaking of intense Fire! Holy crap! They too were amazing.
I would concur with this completely. The interesting thing for me were some of the choices of the cover songs, Moody Blues, Wishbone Ash, Zappa for example, giving a little insight what people...
Saw them a few years ago at FIMAV. Heard these happy noises of joy behind me during the show and turned around to see Daevid Allen bopping away (he was there for Acid Mother's Gong w. Yoshida).

Cool. It's like Fimav on steroids. Lots of bands and lots of venues. I'm guessing there is overlap. Ever had hard decisions?
indeed. It was very much singer/songwriter type stuff. I don't think further investigation is really required.
