Congrats Mark.

Can't wait to read this. For those PE'ers across the pond, the only awareness most of us here in the US had during the "Progressive Rock Revival" in the UK during the early '80s was of Marillion. I...

That's reassuring, thanks Alan!

Thanks for the well-wishes. Not sure how this happened. It's still 1977, the year I met my wife when neither of us had yet turned 18, in my head.

Turning 65 Monday. Beats the alternatives I guess.

Any chance Laser's Edge will stock this?

Good looking vinyl sets

Fucking cluster headaches back for third lifetime round, first at age 45, then like a decade later, and now back as I approach 65. Seeing my PCP today...anybody recommend a particular medication?...

Thanks for the reminder that we hope to see John with The David Cross band here in town at the newly-reopened Iron Horse Music hall on 10/26 if we're home from our northward trek to the BEAT show in...

^^^^^
Agreed. I already knew Martin and Steve Christey via IQ and Jadis (big neo fan) but their playing here is exceptional.

This is the same great line-up that appears on the two live releases from the late '90s (the acoustic Sub Rosa live in Milan '98, and Nomansland Live in Poland '99) with Kilminster instead of...

I wasn't aware that John Mitchell played in Wetton's band. I have a couple of great live Wetton releases with the wonderful Dave Kilminster on guitar.

Just got the Chevalier (Medford MA) show notice via the Wilbur email...with no mention of anyone on the bill except Asia,"The Heat of the Moment Tour". Bio appears as follows:

"2024 is the Year Of...

Man, I love me my Kayak rock operas. Merlin, Cleopatra, Nostradamus...this is my kind of schlock-rock.

They have a nice free 3 cd compilation up on bandcamp.

Albany sold out. Boston has a few secondary market tix. We have great seats for Montreal, 7th row center at what is our favorite concert venue, the wonderful theatres at the Place Des Arts.

Montreal "full." Glad I jumped on pre-sale!

Not sure if we'll be back in town for the Iron Horse show, as we'll be in Montreal for BEAT on the 17th...and where and when's the Montreal gig?

Montreal for us.

Some pre-sales start tomorrow, including Boston.

Sounds like they owned the CTTE.

Great to see you albeit briefly!

"The Tangent for one"

Loved the show on Tuesday in Arlington (Boston). as did my wife. Not great at such things, but estimate 300 attendees (?). Sound was stellar, we chatted with the Regent's sound guy who said he had...

I was at all of these! (one show at Beacon).

It'll be great to see you guys, been too long.

Yikes Doug! You could've just said you don't like BBT! Joking aside, be well soon! You will be missed!

PE roll call for the Regent? Karen and I will be about sixth row center.

Picked this up yesterday in preparation for Tuesday's show. Two spins in, really liking this release. Was surprised to see David Lord's engineering credit, last I heard of him was his arrest for...

I heard an interview with John Greenwood on NewEars radio show (Delicious Agony) yesterday and sounds like he's got a killer solo release out, "Dark Blue." He mentioned it's sold 80 copies.

Then there have been timeless shows featuring music from albums yet to be released, such as Yes in November '74 at the Garden, days before Relayer was released. I remember raving about the new music...

“I’ve Seen All Good People” by Yes – "This prog rock hit plays over the opening titles and into the opening scene of Fargo’s season 5 premiere. Dot is arrested for unwittingly tazing a police officer...

Listening the Cured in Cleveland grey-area release (which I've had as a ROIO for years) reminds me that as a vocalist, Steve's a great guitarist. What a band...Magnus, Mosely, Cronk... but oh those...

Anyone mention the new season began with Yes?

Each time I've seen them I've enjoyed their playing hugely.

I was fortunate enough to see nosebone and co. at the same fest in Ct. where I saw Advent, IZZ and 3rDegree.

I dug Crucible so much (after turning onto Tall tales before their Nearfest gig) that we subsequently ventured to Stonington CT to see them at Fatty McGee's. They were doing all covers (Gabriel,...

^^^^^^^^
Big fan. Loved seeing them at Nearfest and have a nice recording of that show.

I read based on a recommendation from a friend all of David Eddings' Belgariad and Malloreon works. I really dug these but am now doing a deep dive into Katherine Kurtz' Deryni books, currently in...

Isn't Haken considered part of this sub-genre? I think it's what's turned me off to their sound following my enjoyment of The Mountain.

On plus side: PSA now normal, but as urologist said yesterday, you do have cancer, but 3/4 of folks with your presentation will never need any intervention." Whew!

On downside: they had me...

Me too! In fact, I would say the same regarding much of Hillage's solo output.

I do love me my US prog, huge echolyn and HTM fan among many others, Somehow I missed a bunch of great "modern" US prog over the decade or so, I'm now discovering some real gems that eluded me...

Thanks Bill! Maybe a show in Western MA?

I like Steve Hillage's wonderful solo album Fish Rising more than any Allen-era Gong.

Love growing old with PE!

I enjoyed the reunion of a few years back at the Wilbur in Boston.

Thanks! Hadn't noted my post count!

Even tried rotating the original....help! It's me and Nad and Jonas!

The Rome Pro(g)ject...great symph, Hackett guests.
