This is a phenomenal sounding album , the way In the Dead of Night just leaps out of the speakers. The roto toms sound phenomenal and it’s my favourite recording of Bruford .

Thanks for all the responses , I actually have most of this artists , the Kit Eatkins Moog playing is fantastic on that album. I forgot to mention being a big fan on Triumvirat of course and I need...
Just discovered another keyboard driven Prog trio , from Budapest V’73 , managed to obtain a vinyl copy of their only release Seven pieces for Keyboards Bass Guitar and Drums , aptly named. Includes...
And now all up on Spotify , really love the duo of keys and drums , reminded me at times of Germany ‘s SFF
Very much agree. The line up with Dennis Clements on drums , Colin Bass and Pete Tiger Takes could produce something really good with Andy . I wonder what the reason is for not making something new ....
Having picked up the whole catalogue of Tritonus and really enjoyed , I ‘ ve now found Trilogy , another German keyboard trio , I ‘ ve managed to pick up both albums on vinyl , due to arrive soon . ...
That’s impressive and it’s not the JPG from the cassette on Discogs , I’ m sorry I can’t provide a screen shot , freezing the picture at the exact moment was difficult without all the pause text...
Rather incredibly watching an average thriller on Amazon Prime called Arctic Void , set in the Arctic , at an abandoned outpost settlement , two protagonists are entering disused building in search...
At the airport recently they were playing Hold on to Love from Jon Anderson’s City of Angels album. I was very surprised.
Hi , just back from a vinyl shopping trip to Amsterdam and kind of kicking myself for not buying an album I saw by Tritonus ( first album ) . I had bought a fair bit of rare Prog and just didn’t...
Was wondering same re Carl Palmer , he didn’t attend the Keith Emerson tribute concert in Birmingham in 2016 . I guess for these guys some of these kind of evenings are not their things and or may...
The Nassau and Wheeling official releases are both excellent, wouldn’t it be great to have the whole footage of the BBC Whistle Test special , the camera work for the Memphis section is terrific and...
Around 1980 I got a bootleg of the NewHaven show on cassette . The key click of the Hammond on the works tour was very prominent , Carl had the wonderful steel kit but the hi tom runs had a very...
And there is that unusual Alembic sound which is so different from the warm Fender on the original Tank. A lot of the time you just get that ticking noise with some low rumble , what an odd choice of...
Plenty of recordings of Tarkus from the Works tour , recommend the Nassau Colisseum official release. The tempos were fast , maybe not quite as quick as 73/74.

Pete Pardoners just interviewed Derek Sherinian and Virgil Donati on the new anthology set I think for July. This stuff has been hard to get hold of and is remastered...
Really enjoyed this and also interested in some alternate mixes of tracks , since I ‘ve now got about 10 versions of BSS , I ‘m sure I have them somewhere. Always think 70’s indulgence ( before...
Agree that the Wooden Gretsch kit CP used on Love Beach was superb sounding and I’ve said many times it remains his best stripped back playing , just enough trade mark speed fills and rhythmic...
Watching a video on Sea of Tranquility it was mentioned that Carl Palmer always plays the same solo. He kind of doesn’t but I certainly know what the guys mean , the landmarks are there and I...
Listening to Night after Night and Danger Money today and especially the more commercial tracks , arguably Night After Night , Nothing to Lose and As Long as You want me here, whilst you can clearly...
Donated , love his work with Jan Hammer , and got a lovely little message back from him
Also feel tempted to go to the 2nd night tonight but can’t make it. And White is probably my favourite Rick album , the Moog tones are superb and I love some of those snowy / bleak quiet passages.
I sure did mean Lee, I always get them mixed up for some reason !
Saw Rick last night , it was the two album Six Wives/ King Arthur set and it was great. Rick kept his comic chat to a minimum and the band were fantastic including Adam Wakeman and Jonas Rheingold ....
And always thought it was the best Carl Palmer stripped back playing. Still incorporates lots of fills but the grooves are good , I think the Black Moon style to almost minimalist approach doesn’t...
I got to meet John several times and asked him about favourite bass players , he immediately said Miroslav Vitous
Just occasionally post UK , he’d pull out the stops , but much less so, I really like his bass on the Wishbone Ash album Number the Brave , the title track has a classic thundering bass line . On his...
I have a vinyl bootleg which I sent to Steve Hammmonds who was compiling concerts for the From the Manticore Vaults CD boxed sets , he didn’t use it as the recording was not great but he did think it...
Would love to have seen them in the 70s but went to all 3 days at Royal Albert Hall in 92 , and saw an amazing small venue in Paris 97 called Elysee , got to meet Keith briefly and just wandered into...
Was going to mention this , although a bit uneven , some gorgeous mood pieces and the main theme exquisite , his Moogs sound stunning
The Above ! But also noticed the complete lack of detail and accuracy now in the ever growing ‘list’ videos , literally inaccuracy after inaccuracy on personnel , dates , names . It’s so easy to get...
Great little intro and a sort of earlier ‘linear’ style which he doesn’t normally do and became very popular in the 80s with Dave Weckl
I was at the London 2002 show and I think Keith Emerson was quoted as saying he wanted a sort of back up to the Nice for that tour as he wasn’t sure there would be enough ‘pull’ in just a Nice...
As I ve gone back to the Weather Report albums and also Jaco’s solo career , I found myself realising how much Joe Z doubled the bass lines on I think the Oberheim , whilst it thickens the sound I...
Very unnerving cover , I thought of Area Arbeit Mach Frei but also a UK 1960s Gerry Anderson Series called Thunderbirds and the sinister character called the Hood. It’s certainly very odd , but...
There are quite a few clips on YT from this tour and Donati often plays Holdsworth tracks when jamming and doing his studio/ live clinic type videos. They were a great combination , would love a live...
This is a bit of fun but am right in thinking the traffic generated on PE forum is distributed as follows

YES - by a long way
King Crimson - maybe second?

Danger Money and Night After Night ( expanded ) have finally appeared on Spotify . Two favourite albums and still my favourite Bozzio drums albums. Sheer intensity of his playing like a nuclear power...
I saw a solo gig of Annette Peacock at a very small venue in London called Cafe Oto about 7 years ago . She barely spoke to the very attentive audience , finished her 50 min set and just disappeared...
Erskine is great company , that’s quite a coup Sean , looking forward to this
Fierabracci has played a fair bit with Virgil Donati, now if he came in on drums!!!
Worth every penny if you can get it . Extra tracks superb , got mine in the big boxed set Ultimate Collectors .
Quirky one but John Shearer , drummer with Steve Hackett , became a magician, he also ran a drum store in London
Sean , I really like your choice of the Best , Simon Phillips especially on that is incredible, his giant Tama has a sound to die for . I thought he sort of stole the show !!
Recently bought Jet Lag , really enjoy. The track Traveler is my favourite on that album. Does anyone know the time signature? And also unique sounding Moog tone on the outro solo, very interesting.
Re Wetton Manzenera , was disappointed , I did like the opener It’s Just Love but the rest was not memorable and too many track titles that are just choruses . JW kept doing tracks with women’s names...
That's sort of where I am with it, would only be interested if something unreleased, bit surprised there are not extras, alternate takes, unused material . But perhaps all tracks were used by...
Wetton did a very frank interview with Eric Blair , you can find on YT. Interestingly he also says he doesn't really know what happened between him and Howe/ Management/ why the band seemed to oust...
I admire that you avoid the confrontation stuff , refreshing and what’s the point ? Once again money/labels/pressure comes in . Was actually thinking of the Warner Bros/Jaco situation too . The...
Great stuff Sean , so good to see Percy interviewed , recommend this interview highly and hope we get more music from him soon. He played a track on the Richard Barbieri release, recommended.
Virgil Donati , he's just recently been interviewed and wa listening to a lot of Yes and ELP in the 70s
Michael Giles ?
ctually), and never liked the three individual's characters.
Just curious what was it about the characters you didn't like?
Re Rondo , I wonder what Greg felt chugging away on that baseline for long periods ( also in Fanfare ) . In the early 70s Carl also had long solo in Rondo with a lot of build up to gong section ,...
So glad you are interviewing Percy Jones , Sean can't wait for that , such an under represented genius.
The ‘ Quadra Box’ which you can pick up cheap has the whole of the Centrum, Worcester show 22.8.83. Decent recording and with a lot of Alpha live.
Thought I was the only one who had get bit tired of Toyah histrionics on camera every Sunday.
