Looks like Jon and the Youngin's are doing this also, but in the USA. I have no idea of what his "tour" consists of, but I'd imagine it will be wherever he can gather up some kids from the Rock...

I believe Orpheus Nine played this fest a few years back.

Where were you?

Yeah - good to see them getting the word out. Check out https://www.progressiveears.org/forum/showthread.php/23755-Stomu-Yamash-ta?p=1120235&viewfull=1#post1120235 for the Cherry Red link and more...

Well can't speak for the artwork, but since they have already listed the tracks on each disc for the Seasons set, it appears that they are presenting each of the seven albums on their own discs,...

Seasons – The Island Albums 1972-1976, 7CD Box Set coming out in July!

They started this is the last couple of years - seems to be their way of acknowledging someone and making it seem like they are in the Hall, without actually inducting them. I believe Kraftwerk and...

Wasn't as familiar with her work, but certainly her husband, Terry, of "Seasons in the Sun" fame.

I saw the show last night in Vineland. Great set of music, played magnificently. And looked like the guys were all having a blast up there. Ryo is such a showman and his keytar solo was great! ...

Yeah that’s pretty fun. I think it goes with the venue. I happened to come across another video shot at that venue and the Stonehenge was there for them also.

Strangely, it works for me on Firefox, but not on Chrome, Edge or Safari.

This seems to be what most of us are seeing:

Wow....sorry to see it gone. I never got into the forums there, but it was such a great reference tool.

I checked the ticket availability for the venues they are playing in NJ/Philly area and there are PLENTY of seats still available at the Vineland, Newton and Sellersville shows still. None of these...

Definitely something I’m going to take a look at. I never got to see them in their heyday.

I wonder if Jobson would make an appearance or two...

Another new one from Roger - the new Ann Wilson album:

That's really good to hear. I did not realize they had that strong of a following here.

I would love to go to this, but the Philly date that I could attend is, except for a handful of balcony seats, is general admission standing. My days of standing for 2-3 hours are long gone,...

Jon has a new song and video. I think they spent more time on the video than the mix. lol


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVpwyE-AQ1k

It was the Summer 2012 Yes tour with PH opening. I think that was the first tour with Davison on vocals. I remember them doing the complete "Fly From Here" suite.

Those are the two places that I knew her from as well, in addition to her appearance on the original Star Trek series in the classic "Where No Man Has Gone Before" episode. R.I.P. Sally.

Madfish strikes again! I love the idea of having all 21 remastered studio albums in one spot, along with the rarities. Can't imagine I would ever get through all 18 live albums, but yet this is a...

I think this Esoteric reissue has been out for a while, I just never took the leap. Quite the all-star band he has on there. Might have to investigate.

Sad news. I saw Procol Harum open for Yes a few years back at the Tower Theater just outside Philly and was really blown away how strong his voice still was. Going to have to spin some PH in his...

Don't know for sure, but like Yes, I would assume that the logo stays with the official band. He has his own Asia logo that he regularly uses, so this may be the venue doing what they can to sell...

I think no agent would book him without a promise (or probably notated in the contract) that he would play some recognizable stuff. In fact, in recent years, many of the ads for his shows went so...

Yeah I really like this one too. There is a section in the middle (3:17-3:43) that always puts me in mind of Pat Metheny's Last Train Home.

Video now for the Davison/Downes song " A Living Island "

I disagree. When Asia tours (and records), you have Downes and Palmer (and sometimes Howe). Not their fault that they have to bring in a bassist for the one who passed away. No comparison to...

Oh no! No Kollman, No AFJP! Seriously, I don't know who any of these guys are. I am sure they are talented, just don't recognize the names at all. And I am well aware of the Dukes albums. Those...
