Just checked that myself. Yes, on Welcome Back, the first section of KE9 1st is in the lower key F but after "fight tomorrow" the key moves up to A flat like the studio version and stays there for...

Vai's work for Zappa showed that he was/is a smart guy. I expect he'll bring that to this group.

RIP Richard Tandy (announced by Jeff Lynne on Facebook)

Neil is on tour with the Horse now. One interesting bit is that he found a "lost" final verse of "Cortez the Killer" that he debuted at the first show a few nights ago. There are YouTube fan videos...

I don't know much about GTR, but I remember reading an interview with one of the other members (maybe the drummer Jonathan Mover) saying that Howe and Hackett didn't get along at all.

Dead link. I guess they didn't want us to have this answer yet.

That is a risk, but the last few Tull sets don't seem to be selling as quickly as what they released in the 2010's from the Stand Up to Heavy Horses run of albums.

I don't have it yet but am keeping fingers crossed that it will still be available at the next holiday season. Looks very good. The lineup was terrific live too (I've read mixed reviews of Conway's...

That's one of those cheesy "radio broadcast" things.

It says "It contains pen portraits and, sadly for some, the obituaries of several musicians Bill met along the way." Not a great way to phrase it but I think that means some, but not all of the...

A bassist I know was in a Zep tribute band for a while before he got tired of it and quit. There are gig photos on his Facebook feed where he has a John Paul Jones wig.

It is. (Also "God Bless America" from Uncle Meat.)

The artwork reminds me of a Keyhole release, but this is a legit release. Joe has been mentioning for a while that it could happen.

RIP. I saw the Allmans in the 90's. Good show but my main memory of it was that it was the only big rock show I've seen that included a bass solo.

Mentioned in another thread but I'll add it here since this thread has come back, RIP Max Werner.

Goofy song but it gave Mark Craney the chance to do a "Purdie shuffle" like Steely Dan's "Home At Last."

And as mentioned earlier in the thread, with this box we can hear how the lineup with...

"Elegy" was David Palmer's piece for his father, not for Glascock. It was one of the tracks where Glascock played.

I'm debating whether I need this set. I found the Jakko mix underwhelming though so I'm glad Wilson has had another shot at it.

Hoffman has more of the article and discussion of the Who tapes.

The beginning is about finding the multitrack tapes of The Who By Numbers at a studio called Sunset Sound in 2020.

NYTimes piece about Brian Kehew (Progeny producer) finding lost tapes of other artists.

It is one of the soundcheck tracks. I guess Ian had the song for a while before it turned up on the "A" album. The SFTW box set revealed that "Working John, Working Joe" was around earlier too.

The rumors that I have read for a while were true..next Tull box will be Bursting Out remixed by Steven Wilson, with the tracks from the European show left off the original album, some soundcheck...

Max Werner of Kayak RIP.

I remember that too. It may have been on Belew's blog. It was after Bruford announced his retirement.

Coincidentally, I saw online somewhere that novelist John Barth just died. He wrote a book called The Sot-Weed Factor, which I assume Jenkins had in mind with the title "The Soft Weed Factor."

I like parts of both of those, but I think they showed that ELO wasn't the type of band that should do ten-minute songs.

Steely Dan opened for Zappa's Petit Wazoo band (including Jim Gordon on drums) two nights in December 1972. Wish I could have seen those.

The full Providence show was in the Great Deceiver box set. It had a couple of the source shows for SaBB too.

Also I think DGMLive has the individual shows as downloads now.

They didn't have one main guitarist. Baxter and Denny Dias split solos equally and there were a few solos from other studio players even on the first two albums.

Sorry to read it. Always liked Cat Stevens's album Buddah and the Chocolate Box and it has some powerful drum work from Conway.

Similar for me except the year was 1981 so I have a bit of nostalgia for the album Time. Along with the Moody Blues Long Distance Voyager which I find similar in some ways.

Fripp is not just doing videos with Toyah but a few shows in December. https://www.nme.com/news/music/toyah-willcox-robert-fripp-announce-christmas-party-2024-uk-tour-3594439

I remember PBS showed a "dress rehearsal" type set with that band in 2001 that ended up not touring.

I remember the Eugene Levy character was a sort of conflation of Phil Ochs and Jim from Jim and Jean.

Several posts on FB about Jimmy Hastings's passing including one from his nephew (also from Dave Sinclair).

Kind of a Tull thing in some tracks I've heard from their previous CDs. Scanning the new track I agree with the above post that it is more Floyd.

"But you're wrong, Steve.."

Vinnie Colaiuta doing this music would have been quite interesting. Don't think he tours much though as he is still busy in the L.A. studios, unless that's changed lately.

Of course I'm sure Carey...

Goodman seems to like a quiet life so any chance to see him is interesting. Howard Levy is a plus too.

One Size had a lot of Napoleon and George vocals but I'm not sure how you could cover "Yellow Snow" or "Cosmik Debris" without someone doing a FZ impression.

Under Constrution had both "Intro 74" and "Intro 76."

I had the Under Construction CD set a while back. As I recall it included the full "Intro" which was a pre-recorded instrumental (the end of it was on the original Playing the Fool album) as well as...

Pegg's first show with Tull. The recording may not have been from behind the stage, the YouTube uploader synched a video and recording from different sources.

I thought I'd seen one or two photos of Ray and Dave together recently. No word of playing together again though.

It would be something if Supertramp had an album called Court Case Against Roger.

"Cage the Songbird" from Blue Moves also has that.

I spent a few days at Jay Bennett's studio in 2003 since my band at the time hired him to mix our record. He had a lot of keyboards which I'm pretty sure included the Tron from that album (I read...

Perhaps for a while they thought it would be a good idea to incorporate Blegvad and Moore's songwriting, but yes, I have also read that the main idea was that they were interested in adding Dagmar.

I remember Blegvad also said he didn't have the technical skills to play Henry Cow's material. That might be on that site too.

This site has a quote about it. Probably also discussed in the World Is A Problem book.

Stormy Six was on the Recommended Sampler, I think? I haven't tracked down anything else from them yet.

I listened to Paris once, good but one of the "greatest hits album with applause" type of live records.

The s/t debut is worth a listen. It rarely sounds anything like the Crime to Breakfast era, more like a typical 1970 prog band where the album would be selling for collectible price now if it had...

I remember buying the "It's Raining Again" 45 back then (shortly before I stopped buying 45s). The album came out around the same time as Thriller and the whole Duran Duran MTV wave which pushed...

They sold a lot of "real" ones in 1964 too though. My grandparents had one, probably bought by my dad when he was a teen.

As I might have mentioned earlier, I'd guess the Korg track is in a similar style to the modernized version of "The Collapso" Stewart did for the NH Complete CD (mostly by himself, but with Pip Pyle...

They were just there last fall, I think, until Fagen had health problems and they had to cancel some shows. Not sure how likely it is they will play there again.

I generally don't do RSD, but I'm mildly curious about the Bowie (early version of Ziggy) and Beefheart - Spotlight Kid 2 LP.

I saw Damo with Michael Karoli in Chicago, late 90's. It was a strange show as Karoli was visibly not happy with the rhythm section. At the beginning of the second set Damo jumped from a chair and...
