I wouldn't consider myself to be an ELO fan per se but I did own some of their albums "back in the day". I enjoyed the strings, always being a "closet" fan of classical music tho I never really...

Greg, great to finally meet you in person at the NJ Proghouse show and see you again at the CT show! All three bands burnt up the stage on Saturday and the two bands were just as good in CT if not a...

'77 was a great year for the Grateful Dead, usually no arguing that. One could certainly argue that 5/8/77 is not the best show of its year but, yes, it is a great show with a killer setlist....

Thank you very much for the heads-up on the NYC show...:up...part of the reason why I love PE so much...:)

Peace,
Alex

To Scott and family, positive thoughts and prayers are being sent their way. As to the rest of the band, I suspect a monster performance is forthcoming as a musical shout-out to their brother-in-arms...

As both a bowler and a lover of the song, I rather liked the clip, not knowing anything about the significance of it within the context of the movie that it was taken from...;)

Peace,
Alex

We are kindred spirits, aren't we Greg? :up

See you at your triumphant NJ Proghouse show 5/11... ;)

And as to the subject matter on hand: like the Dos XX man I don't always sing out loud. But...

Like I posted on Facebook where I first saw this. Two words: DUMB ASS! :p

Peace,
Alex

May be the complete boot but far from the complete show. If it had been the complete show it would have been an automatic buy for me, as stated in my previous post#19. To each their own, YMMV. But on...

As much as a TullHead as I am, unless it is really priced right this will be a pass for me. Too much of a tease as far as I am concerned and I'm too anal in regard to getting bits and pieces of shows...

A wonderful album, has some great songs on it. I'm in the Tonight camp, I absolutely positively love the song, Elton is pouring his heart out on it, brilliant. Other faves are the rocking One Horse...

Though the quote above might have been a fortunate by-product of the decision to play TotC/Scheherazade, me thinks it was simply the fact that for those venues that is the show/presentation that was...

Once agan, QFT.

Alex

In her catalog, a ten. The perfect Pat Benatar album to my ears... :up :up Buy it if you haven't done so already...

Peace,
Alex

QFT.

Peace,
Alex

I was there, had a great time, hope you did too!

Peace,
Alex

It pretty much ranged from excellent to great to my ears with a few exceptions last night at the Beacon. Parallels was the shakiest song of any from the three albums, and predictably so, they've...

You read, and then you stumble upon what you agree with that defined the man and his character. Thank you, JJ88, for capturing the essence of the man. Unflinching in his beliefs, it was great to read...

:up

Steve, I believe a lot of the "overlooked" part came with the fact that it was their last album with/for Epic Records and we all know what that usually entails: being overlooked by your own record...

Then you might find ;) that you possibly struck musical gold with at least parts of the other two with it. Please let me know of your listening experience, I'm curious to hear what you hear in them,...

Just purchased my killer aisle seat for Westbury! Woo-hoo! My "encore" show. But 1st, the Beacon on Tuesday. YES! ;) :D

Peace,
Alex

Nice to see they are on nice terms with each other... :)

Peace,
Alex

I've seen that one, Jordan, and that's the one I was hoping you would/could find out there for cheap. But since you have it already based on the quote, yeah, pull it out and see if you like the songs...

I'm not much of a "medley" kind-of guy but they were always very tasteful about them... :up

Peace,
Alex

I wouldn't put up too much of an argument against your choices... :) ...but I'll stand behind my choice anyways... ;)

Peace,
Alex

No explanation necessary, especially when it deals with something as subjective as music. That is the beauty of the arts and music in specific...:).

But Isolation may be their most rocking album...

Especially if you can get it on the cheap, Jordan. I think it is underrated. Saw them touring behind that album on a double bill with Kansas in '83, I believe, and they blew Kansas, another beloved...

So moving on, big Heart fan here. Love the 1st four albums as many of us around here do but still very much a fan of their later work and I don't believe that it should be that easily dismissed as...

You're going to be transported into the musical past... ;). Enjoy the ride... :).

Peace,
Alex

+1 :up

Peace,
Alex

All good. At least we're on the same page as far as the band itself is concerned... ;) :) ! And that's actually funny in a sort-of way as I consider myself a more of the end of the 2nd side of a guy...

The song itself, Jordan, but I do like/love most of the album. I think that Lion, Endless and Mr Friendly are terrific songs and How Does it Feel to be a beautiful song. The rest of the the first...

:up right back atcha... :)

Peace,
Alex

Wow, late to the game but read each and every post on a band that I've basically throughly enjoyed since their inception. They may not be my favorite band ever, as Scott Bails so honestly pointed...

Same here. Crazed Institution is the only song that I would put on a personal JT mix, otherwise found the rest of the album to be a WTF. Probably my least favorite JT album. Fortunately, as...

QFT IMHO. it is the "little things" that the individual members bought to the musical table that made JT what JT was back in the day. TAAB2 is a nice album and all that but certainly is nothing to my...

I know that Annie responded back to me on Facebook that the album will be available for purchase at the upcoming April shows. Good, I rather the money for it go straight into her hands and not thru a...

Will see/hear it@Westbury, quite honestly really didn't want to have to get "on the road", this is almost a back yard show but would love to see it multiple times. There appears to be a lot of room...

As to actually replying properly to this thread, virtually impossible to do after over four decades of concert-going but if the mood hits me correctly I just might be able to separate five shows from...

Thank you! To each their own! Amazing what some folks say on the 'net...:p

Peace,
Alex

A great and iconic album, to be sure. Too ingrained in my mind to have to play it on its anniversary today but Happy 40th to one of the most enduring albums ever made! |)

Peace,
Alex

I have to seriously question at this moment whether the Jones Beach date is etched in stone as I know for a fact that as of Super Bowl week that the venue was still basically under water due to...

^What he said^

Peace,
Alex

Wow, I skipped this thread until today wondering what the hell Chicago was doing on the main board and, lo and behold, a great, reasoned and respectful discussion of a band that was a huge part of...

Saw Daryl last May, I believe, and it was a wonderful show. He performed the songs that ProgGreaser quoted above and beyond that was a very humble and gracious host as one of my friends from...

Just read the interview, Anil, and it was a lovely, well-managed and informative interview. I am a APP fan, considering I Robot to be an excellent album and Pyramid, Eve and The Turn of a Friendly...

Even if I had access to the channel (which I don't) I wouldn't have watched it anyways as I'm going to see it live here in NYC on April 9th and will wait for the goosebumps to happen when I'm in the...

I saw them but it was before the new album came out so one should expect a good helping of the new stuff. If you're asking if they play all the "hits", no, they don't, they definitely seem to play...

I will be seeing the new lineup in Lakewood. I've only read glowing remarks about Mr. Chlanda, especially from the musicians that I've seen chime in and it has me very excited to see both him and...

Thanks, Steve, for the review! :up

As for Arnel, yes, he certainly exudes much more energy than Steve did back in the day and that's exactly what turned me off and will discourage me from ever...

I love both albums but would probably lean towards Poseidon simply because of Cat Food, I love me some Cat Food! :D

Peace,
Alex

Wow, not a lot of love 'round here for Empty Glass. I think that it is pretty much a fantastic album, even the weaker songs fit in nicely, love the flow of the album but truly do love many of the...

Pretty simple interview with some pretty direct answers. The point that blew me away is that they were not going to perform the albums in the sequence that they were released. And, quite frankly,...

I think this is both partly a product of the economy in general but more specifically that NYC, born and bred and I still love it, S-U-C-K-S'sssssssss for its lack of ssssssssupport for progressive...

This is how it used to be back in the 70's with bands such as Yes, Zep and Pink Floyd. Nowadays, if they go on sale three months from date of show it seems like a long period between. So I can...

QFT.

Peace,
Alex

Excellent review, Mel, but I didn't expect any less from you...;) :) !

Peace,
Alex

Meant to reply to this when first read but from a fellow F*****G CANCER FREE human being (since December '04, Thank God, my family and family of friends...:) ) to another, I wish this good news lasts...

My experience also. That being said and, quite frankly, after The Musical Box's masterful recreations of the album's tour, my appreciation for this great work of musical art in its totality grew...
