You're most welcome :)! I've been waiting for KC to come back to TX since 1995 (saw them here in Houston starting in 1974, warming up for Procol Harum, they never skipped us back then, until after...
The password for all the LiveNation KC gigs that I've seen is "TEMPO". If by chance that doesn't work, try "LYRIC".
Good luck and good hunting!
Leo
Edit: It is TEMPO. Really good seats...
This is the second reference I've seen to two Austin shows, yet the DGM site still lists only the show on Oct. 19 - the listing just went up on the Bass Performance Hall website a few minutes ago,...
Second show just announced for Count Basie on July 10:

Take your pick of seats, anywhere you like at the time of...
+1, yes.

Count Basie Theatre has their own ticketing site. Here is a link to tickets for the KC show:

They let you pick...
Oh, criminy - is there an "embarrassed" icon on this thing? I didn't recognize you from the photo here, and I haven't been on PE that much these last few months...
Sorry, Eric. It'll be great to...
Oy. My bad - Eric introduced us, right? Even better! It'll be a RE-connection :).
Thanks!
Leo
And in terms of the Chicago KC on-sale mentioned above, I noticed on TM that the max price...
Awesome, Phlakaton! And I just got word this morning that another good Austin friend (with whom I saw Magma at the Mohawk, along with some Dallas friends) just got HIS ticket to the early show (no...
Kari and I are going to the early show for Jean-Luc :)! I don't think either show is sold out yet... although it may happen...
Perhaps we'll see you there!?
Leo
Kari and I are looking forward - now that we're finally empty nesters :) - to being able to go on our first CTTE!
Kavus, your presence on CTTE 2018 pretty much seals the deal, as far as I'm...
I sure hear you there, Phlakaton.
It's hard, especially considering that KC never missed coming to Houston (and other cities in Texas) from 1974 (when I saw them the first time at Hofheinz...
Well, crap. I just noticed today that the Kansas show at Cullen Performance Hall in Houston (October 14th) has been CANCELLED.
This, after the Alan Parsons show there (in November) was cancelled...
Absolutely agree - chafing at the bit to get this, along with Bent Knee's new album...
Leo
You're most welcome, Dave - hope you were able to snag some good seats.
Even without some of the original band members, Kansas still brings it, and to see "Leftoverture" performed in its entirety,...
Password for all Kansas presales is "KANSASBAND".
Just got 4th row (8th row if one counts the Pit) for the Houston show - very stoked to see this...
Good luck and good hunting!
Leo
:) Love me some Cardiacs! Yeah, it was pure coincidence for me, as well...
Went over to the ROSFest site just now and saw this:
http://home.rosfest.com/spocks-beard-announced-as-replacement-headliner-for-saturday-may-7th-at-rosfest-2016/
Won't offer a personal opinion...
This is the latest thread I could find on ROSFest, so I'm posting here...
The ticket link provided on the ROSFest website...
That would simply be awesome, Phlakaton:up! Would very much like to meet you in person, and how great it is that you'll have your son there - the next great Prog generation!
Leo
You are most welcome, MagmAmerican, and thank YOU so much for keeping us informed. Since I last visited PE yesterday, the gig has been made official, and the tickets are on sale for the Austin gig...
Damn, I had been on the lookout for this show from back when I first saw that TP was coming here...even though I check everything I can get my hands/eyes on, this one crept up on me - Rudyard's...
I hardly post here anymore, but I just had to especially thank you, MagmAmerican and the Magma band and management, for booking a true Prog legend here in Texas. How refreshing and fantastic to get...
Mattias - you are a man among men, a musician among musicians :)!
Thank you so very much - and see you on Saturday!
Leo
P.S. GO ASTROS!!!
Awesome, Mattias - I will check as the week progresses.
And "Pluto" is fine to my ears, as is all the Necromonkey material :)....
Leo
P.S. I'll be glad to buy the first round of cold...
Went back to that thread (which I had followed for a while), and I think I see what your points are, and heartily agree with a lot of it. For Prog to survive, it must be played live - and since...
We were very fortunate to see the Austin show in Bass Performance Hall - just perfect...having seen Porcupine Tree at the Electric Factory, I can't even imagine having the same enjoyment of a...
Wow - I just took a look at the FB event for Houston and, much to my (not pleasant) surprise, the showtime is listed as "9:00 PM - 2:00 AM" :(.
First off, Kari and I aren't the spry young things...
That's awesome, Mattias - guess you've been down Houston way before :)!
If it's good Tex-Mex food you're looking for, well, Ninfa's can scratch your itch - the Navigation location is the original...
Thank you, Mattias! Just found their website - very interesting place :).
How you're going to do those four cities in four days....wow, just...wow.
We'll keep an eye out for any local info,...
That elicits a huge WOW from this Houston fan - just when I'm all disappointed that NJ Proghouse weekend was canceled, and thus my chance to catch a Necromonkey gig, here we have a HOUSTON gig!?
...
While I'm very sad to see this, I certainly understand, Jim.
I came up from Texas to attend the NJ Proghouse weekend in 2013 and had a wonderful time - it was superb.
I couldn't make it last...
Would absolutely love to be able to come out and show my support for some fine Prog music in my hometown :)!
Hope y'all can make it happen - thanks so much for actually thinking of us down here......
Had to pause a bit, put on one of my favorite, most inspirational Daevid works - Shapeshifter by Gong, and hold back the tears upon seeing that Daevid has left this plane.
Thank you, Daevid, so...
Simply no words - gutted, stunned, speechless, if I had to choose - y'all have written so well what I'm feeling right now in the above posts.
Daevid & Gong have been part of my musical life and...
Just got my set yesterday here in Texas from Amazon UK - at by far the cheapest price around (at least $50 cheaper), and it got here unscathed in less than a week. I've had simply outstanding...
Argh - et tu, Baja Prog? In mourning...
Of course, I hope the powers that be can get the finances together to resume it in the future - it went away once and came back (albeit for this one year),...
Well, here it is November 10th, and still no update on the Baja Prog Official page. Sigh.
Usually by this time, not only would we know the dates, the bands and even the daily lineups would be set....
I bought two pair of prime floor seats for Ian Anderson at Austin City Limits Live (ACL Live) for the gig on Friday, September 26th (2014), way back in February on the presale.
Circumstances...
Now Available (I'd been waiting for this ever since seeing the teasers on YouTube):
From film maker Carl King's website/store:

Got mine late last week (361/1000), loving every bit - y'all are spot on re the Mama Kin disc - stunningly awesome!
Mike, I'm happy to see this wonderful album put out the way that you really...
I love Devin Townsend, as well...and Ayreon...and like you, Splicer, I definitely DON'T like "cookie monster" (screamo) vocals.
There's lots of "Prog Metal" goodness out there for folks like us -...
Nice to see this make the "mainstream" music press anyway...just posted on PollStar:
http://www.pollstar.com/news_article.aspx?ID=806695
Sigh...how I wish I could go....
Cheers,
Leo
Very glad to be of service! I've been buying from Amazon UK for many years - especially on big ticket imports - I've always saved big time. I'm saving even more now that I've got a credit card that...
I hear you - and I guess we'll make the time for it like we did for LTIA :). Hope this helped to at least take some of the sting out of the price!
Also have to figure out how to explain this...
I looked into Amazon UK (as a USA buyer). Here's how it breaks down:
Pre-order price is 120.00 GBP. Take off the VAT (non-EU customer), comes to an even 100.00 GBP. Shipping is a mere 3.08 GBP....
Oh, snap!
This is one of the ones I was hoping for - not only one of my favorite XTC albums, but also one of my favorite albums ever, by anyone.
Nonsuch is wonderful and all, but this...oh...
Watched the entire thing yesterday - brought back great memories, and it's quite professionally done. No surprise that the only group not visually represented was Eddie Jobson's. His thing, I...
Same here - have loved this band since they started out - and I've never been able to pin ANY label on them...they simply defy being pigeon-holed.
When I was working in the music retail business...
Mike, thanks so much for the excellent downloads! I had already obtained them last night (as soon as I saw your FB post), but I'm just now able to listen (EP 1 right now). Woo-hoo - great sound AND...
Many thanks for bringing this to our attention! Thought I was getting caught up and then this gold nugget comes along... :).
Got the video queued up for when I get home, will check out the...
Hurray! Posted on Cheer Up Charlie's FaceBook page:
Purrrfect - gives me more time to get to Austin from Houston :) - I'd tried calling the place several times, no answer, so this is the...
Bummed that the only way to see the two shows in Austin was to buy passes for the entire Housecore™ Horror Film Festival ($129-$199).
I say "was" because all the Housecore™ Horror Film Festival...
Thanks very much, Mick - there's no substitute for information that comes directly from the band!
BTW, funny you should mention that '76 tour - my friends in Texas saw them on that tour, and I had...
I would dearly love to see this, but of course no chance in the USA - hope to see some reviews here on how Plague comes off live AND with a three-piece.
Too bad they didn't do this at NEARfest,...
I just thought of something as I started my day here in Houston with our weather report showing a high in the low 100's, heat index > 110 (humidity is in the 95% range)...yes, it's f*cking summer,...
You're most welcome. Sid! I would love to be part of this...
Cheers,
Leo
Looking at the web site for Cheer Up Charlie's in Austin, it would appear that the same situation would exist there, except it would be outdoors...tiny, tiny backyard deal...but it would definitely...
Once again, thank you very much, Mick - I will take your advice, of course.
The correct phone number will help - so many times, I've call a club/venue only to speak to a person or persons who know...
Thank you so much for your reply, Mick - actually, I had you specifically in mind when I reached out on PE :)! I appreciate your insights.
Nektar seems to conduct the band's business in such a...
