    They might as well add a couple US dates to the mix. (Fingers crossed.)

    Not into these guys much anymore. I guess I burned on their sound. I may go and see this Montreal show though, since it's on a Friday night. I had a chance to meet and conversate with them in 2007 when I was working the FMPM. Nice blokes. I am curious to know who is putting on this Montreal show though...

    I need to speak with my better half (since we're making the trek north to Montreal at the end of this month for Neal Morse at La Tulipe, a venue we've never been to but have VIP tix for) but would love to see IQ again, probably my favorite British neo-prog band. Enjoyed them at Nearfest x2!

    We love your beautiful city, Yves, and your beautiful city loves prog! For us here in western Mass., it's about a 5 hour drive through the glorious Green Mountains of Vermont...just wish I could cross the border with some other green

    I'd kill to see them now that Tim is back in the lineup. You're basically getting 4/5 of the band that produced Tales from the Lush Attic and The Wake.
    I'm holding out for the Wilson-mixed 5.1 super-duper walletbuster special anniversary extra adjectives edition.

    They were great when I saw them in Bury a few months ago, despite the poor PA that night.
    Not sure if it was theirs or hired, but at least they won't drag that across the Pond.
    The new album was well performed, so you're in for a treat.

    I've only seen IQ once, when they headlined the much slimmed down Progfest 1993 at Royce Hall UCLA. Setlist:

    Outer Limits
    The Wake
    The Darkest Hour
    The Last Human Gateway [awesome performance of this]
    The Thousand Days
    Nostalgia
    Falling Apart at the Seams
    Leap of Faith
    Human Nature
    The Enemy Smacks

    Headlong

    I would love to see them again, it's too bad I can't afford to go to Canada right now.

    A great live version of The Last Human Gateway:

    ...or you could love

    I have about 3 of their albums and somewhat like them (don't love them). With all the great music coming out, I tend to buy things I enjoy more, but I'd love to see them if they swung our way. Trouble is, I'm sure they never will.

    Hope the show rocks!!

    That's per person, not a cumulative of the entire nation.
