Yeah, they're at the Arcada in October. I saw them there a couple of years ago and they sounded great. They book a lot of prog at that place.

That would be great.

I just got an email from the Arcada Theater outside of Chicago that reads like this:

"ASIA, FOCUS, MARTIN TURNER (WISHBONE ASH) & CURVED AIR

ALL BANDS FEATURE FOUNDING MEMBERS"

I was trying...

I would go if Jon A was in the band. Deep Purple was one of the first bands I was into as a little kid in the 70s. I've only seen them once, in 1984 when they reunited the MkII lineup.

Pretty ambitious booking Tinley Park. They'll practically be giving away lawn seats a week before the show. I wish them luck!

Got tix for the Copernicus Center in Chicago Nov. 1. Row G, seats 11-14. $150 per including fees. Password for the Danny Zelisko Presents presale is BEAT.

That High Voltage show is painful to watch. Keith was clearly having some trouble playing certain parts. My impression of Palmer is that he doesn't listen. He's just in his own world doing his thing...

Ha! Yeah, my wife and I laughed about that.

I played there a few years ago and loved it. They let us fly in a few days early, so we had a couple days of just hanging by the pool drinking rum. :cool People apparently drop anchor in the harbor...

Thanks, I'll look it up!

That was extremely entertaining! Was the drunk Alex story in the book? I have no recollection of reading that one.

Watched part 2 last night. Very enjoyable. That Rendezvous 6:02 video was cracking me up with the bubbles and whatnot. :lol I wish there had been some video of the 3 piece reunion. I saw them in...

Danny Lepresto exited Southern Empire recently. They have a new vocalist now who's name I don't recall. Also a new album, "Another World". I'm having a hard time with this one. It's got a few songs...

Just dreamin! That Nearfest show was great (I have the DVD, I wasn't there). Claudio did a great job with both Ben and Nash's parts. I was lucky to see the Transformation lineup (minus Ed Bernard) in...

What a moment indeed! I love all those albums. I think it was One of a Kind that introduced me to Holdsworth, but I was discovering UK at the same time.

Thanks Progatron for sharing.

That's what I was wondering!

Because they're annoying AF with their mock "surprise" expressions and their spewing of Wikipedia culled historical rock facts? Yeah, same here. ;)

Well, if we're going there, here's one I've thought of for a long time:

GLee - bass, vox, synths
Lerxst - guitars
Ben Mink - violin, mandolin, guitar
Cam Hawkins - synths, vox, possible extra...

Way to re-ignite all the "If Rush went out with a different drummer..." chatter Ged! :lol Oh well, gotta sell those books.

I'm seriously wondering if we'll get any more music from Mr. Lee. Not...

I liked Sam with Montrose.

Another great video, thanks for your work. I've been kind of down on this album over the past few years, but I think it's time for a revisit. Hackett is sorely missing, but there are some beautiful...

Pretty much my experience/feelings as well, but I only saw them twice - Chicago Theater and Ravinia.

I started watching late last night. I've got a ways to go. Great story about the album title!

100% I did this with Snakes & Arrows. I think I dumped 6 songs. Makes for a better experience. YMMV

Add Roll the Bones for me. When HYF came out, I felt like it was Power Windows Junior. I've always skipped Tai Shan and High Water, and in more recent years, Second Nature has joined that list. But...

Well I just pre-ordered it on blue vinyl from Lasers Edge. :cool

Ah, cool. Also, I'm a dope! I ALWAYS think of that song as being on ATTWT. Carry on...

That Harry Whitley guy was the only singer that did John justice. He was quite good! I hadn't realized that the Paul Green kids were going to be featured so prominently throughout the stream. I would...

I've always liked Rabin, but I don't like everything he's done. Some goes a little too commercial for me, but then he puts out something like Jacaranda, which blew me away. I like this new tune, and...

Cool, I loved Diego with Haken. I'm not familiar with Gillette, but I'll take your guys word for it!

Great lineup, wow!

Not until later when sequencers and samplers came into the picture. They were just a hard touring band playing several shows a week for years. That will tighten a band up!

I saw this on Lisa Wetton's Facebook page this morning. Great lineup of musicians, including the wonderful John Mitchell. Looking forward to streaming this.

Most excellent, thank you!

We closed the night with Cold and Ugly. :bad

Happy to see Joe got the gig. My band and I recently jammed with Joe at a special event put together by our violinist (also a 7 string Viper player) as he was receiving his doctorate in electric...

Funny stuff! :lol Chris Squire played a LOT of different basses. I've been playing Rics on and off since 1979, and my '89 4003S has been my #1 for 23 years now. Expensive? Compared to what? My...

Work it Pekka! :cool

Well I went to the Des Plaines Theater show Saturday night, and it was joyous! The set list was 100% 70s material, 10 songs total. The band sounded great, and played with energy and enthusiasm. Jon's...

Wow, I think that's even more guests than the last one, "Loss"! Available here - https://essentials.progrock.com/

Nice, thanks for posting. I wish they would hop over the border and come to Chicago some time. Guess it's somehow better for them to fly to Europe for gigs?

Seriously man, get with the program Steve! :cool

I got off the bus after Big Generator, then got back on for FFH and From a Page, and then off again. :lol

Here's one from Beat Club (Germany?).

Awesome, thanks Sean!

I think I can say that the Sherwood/Davison team is not for me. The vocal melodies just seem kind of meandering and not very memorable. As far as this version of Yes overall - I feel like I'm...

Yeah, not really any "extras" on this one. I'll pass. I skipped Hemispheres as well. I've got Farewell, PeW, and MP sets on vinyl, mostly for the live stuff. And I've still got my 12'' single of NWM...

My buddy's brother has this. I heard it back in 1977 when I was first getting into CT. Good stuff! Rick is a great songwriter.

Good point, and I'm with ya. That album really made me smile when it came out. It's the only post-BG Yes album that I own. Return Trip is cool too, possibly better overall, but it's close. It's too...

I'm happy to have a little more heaviness on this one. The blue vinyl looks great!

16638

Plus, it's good to stay busy to take your mind off it.

It is most excellent, and the first I've bought since Negatron. I have to be honest - I lost my taste for Snake's vocal style eventually, but I totally enjoy his work on Synchro...

I like Angel Rat a lot, but I know what you mean. Blacky said that Brown wouldn't mic his bass amp and made him go direct, which is REALLY weird considering what his bass tone is like. You can get...

Wow, cool. He's been talking about this for years.

Ditto!

I'm a fan. Got introduced to them when they were touring the Mountain in the US. I definitely prefer the "less heavy" stuff. I'll be checking out this new track, thanks for posting.

Another great vid, thank you. Still love the album, and now I have greater insight to the events leading up to it.

:lol

Take care of yourself.

I've always thought that song sounded like it could have been on the first album.

I wondered about that Neil comment as well. He seemed to just keep it super short in the later years. I don't...
