I watched Oppenheimer this week. I thought the acting and visuals were excellent, but like of Nolan's other movies, I felt it was 30-40 minutes too long. I think it'll win the most awards at the...
Saw Dune Part 2 twice in IMAX. I'm a longtime Dune fan and while changes were made for the adaptation, the film was fantastic and one of the best science fiction movies I've ever seen.
Todd did that a few times, but none of his albums are sonic masterpieces.
Are you disregarding double albums that are 45rpm remasters? I'd say those are the majority of the audiophile jazz remasters.
Honestly, what you're saying (a 33rpm 40 minute album pressed over 2...
Typical proggers complaining that they don't like it because it doesn't sound like 77-82 Gabriel, some more humbly than others. Maybe it's just me, but I think hoping/expecting 2023 PG to sound more...
Wow. Disappointed to see that.
Excellent episode. Band was tight. I hope to see more from Fripp/Hall in the future.
What a cynical take. I don't think he needs to say this to sell books. How does him saying that make a fan want to buy a book about his life?
Smallest show I ever saw PT play was at The Shell club in the Trump Marina in Atlantic City in 2007. No more than 300 people.
Yes.
The first time I heard them was when I saw them at the 2005 Marillion Weekend. After the show I told Bruce that I got a big Smashing Pumpkins vibe from their set and he took it as a big compliment.

Atmos will downmix automatically to whatever output is available without losing anything.
He also performed on a couple tracks on To The Bone.
Yup-
While I think the merits/efficacy/risks of any new vaccine should be debated heavily in society, this is not the place.
It's available from Merchbar and FYI in the US. Both sites have it listed as in stock.
Excellent review. I was there too and agree with most of what you said. My dad and I both agreed Big Time hasn't really ever worked great live. The audience was great from where we were sitting. A...
I like them both too, quite a lot. I think HCE is his best solo album though.
Yes, but SW said in a recent interview that if it was up to him he'd drop the whole album at once, but the record company told him he's not Beyonce and that he needs to prerelease tracks to promote...
Just because they're not prog fans doesn't mean they're unbiased.
I don't think this song sounds anything like Radiohead though.
SW said somewhere on social media (sorry, saw just a screenshot) that she wrote the lyrics and music. She brought it to him as a basic guitar song and he made/arranged it more akin to a "Bond...
Funny, Ninet wrote the song, not SW.
Um, isn't that what promotion is supposed to be?
Yeah I'd much rather him try to sound like 70s prog.
So you know for a fact that Steven is the one keeping Colin from the band? If you read his recent book, it seems like two band members (not SW) were at each other's throats by the end of The Incident...
What's wrong with the performances?
He has been playing it I think.
MacKenzie Brothers did an intro video for The Larger Bowl when it was performed live.
Almost any Ozric Tentacles song.
How did this writer feel when Iron Maiden started using (sparse) synths on Somewhere In Time? He must have had a conniption.
I'm waiting to see if there are any ticket deals for the Philly show as we get closer. Right now it's around $130 for the cheapest tickets including fees.
Isn't it missing a couple songs (Peak Hour, Tuesday Afternoon)? At least on the vinyl tracklist.
Most tickets are sold through a dynamic pricing scheme where the prices fluctuate according to demand, which means most of the time you'll pay the most during the presales or right after they go on...
I love Grace Under Pressure. I like the 80s stuff more now than the 70s albums. I really think the songwriting is more mature, confident and emotive. Permanent Waves through Power Windows is a...
Moving Pictures is Rush's best album, but for me, Signals is my favorite.
Yeah ticket prices for these shows are crazy high, but my wife is due at the end of August so if I go it'll be a close to last minute decision, and by then there will likely be deals for all the...
There may be raw soundboard recordings from that tour, but no multitracks to enable them to do a proper live mix. While many of us would gladly take a solid soundboard mix, a lot of people would...
Wow, love Bowie. His final US show in NJ in 2004 was a top 10 concert for me.
Hard to pick my 5 favorite albums.
Blackstar
Ziggy
1. Outside
Hunky

I loved Yesshows in high school. The versions of Gates and Ritual on it really smoke.
I wish they'd just put out a Wembley 1974 vinyl release containing the DSOTM set, early WYWH/Animals versions and the Echoes encore.
I really enjoy Mirage and Moonmadness but haven't really liked much else from Camel.
I've never been a huge fan, but his influence on guitar-playing is undeniable.
That was a great show. I wasn't expecting much but they blew me away. Watching Tony Levin and Vinnie Colaiuta groove together was worth it alone.
Tomorrow.
He has said before that while he follows his own muse, he of course hopes people like his music.
The two things aren't mutually exclusive.
Is this documented? I've never heard of this happening.
I saw Holdsie once, as he was joined by Donati (incredible drummer) and Jimmy Haslip on bass. It was a really good show.
While nothing in their catalog really deviates much from their formula, these are the three I go back to the most:
Strangeitude
Jurassic Shift
Arborescence
With honorable mention to the live...
Nic France (a jazz drummer) is the main drummer on GfD. I always thought that Remainder The Black Dog had some jazzy elements to it (in addition to Raider II) and France's drums had a lot to do with...
I've always liked the instrumentals, but also liked Armor And Sword and Spindrift.
What do you consider "jazz elements"?
Oh yeah, that was an epic run.
Can't wait for a Halloween 1978 box. Even if they just release the Halloween show from that year I'll be happy. IIRC it was over 4 hours.
Also I wish we could get a Läther vinyl box at some point.
I was there too. Great show and very unique.
Ed and Brandi definitely split up. Ed has a new gf. Also, don't think Silas is Brandi's kid.
I love most of everything from Pungent Effulgent through Hidden Step. Also, Tantric Obstacles from...

Easily my favorite track off Up. I really wish they had played this track more often live. Fortunately they played it in Camden in 2003 when I was there in the second row, but that was the only...
I saw him the first night of the tour and thought it was excellent. It was to me about as close to Supertramp as one could get nowadays. I say that as someone who grew up loving them but never got...
Looks like between St Louis and this set that one could put together pretty much an entire PeW tour soundboard. I'm glad they didn't just re-release that. The boot likely can't be improved up at...
Jimmy Herring played with one of the post-Jerry incarnations of The Dead as well, and he really tore it up. I saw them in 2004 with Herring and Warren Haynes on guitar, and from what I can remember,...
