1981, that was such a long time ago that even Steve forgot that Cured tour gig. I saw him on that tour in Glen Cove, Long island - feels like a lifetime.

1981, that was such a long time ago that even Steve forgot that Cured tour gig. I saw him on that tour in Glen Cove, Long island - feels like a lifetime.
Nice review, I enjoyed it just like I did the first time I listened to this album. Very underrated but still one of the 80's Camel standouts.
(the other typo is Factor, not Factory but just a...
Steve is a true paladin of our times. A couple of my buddies in Houston went to his show last week and were raving about how excellent the show was.
Steve was even candid about not having played in...
I'm a big Tull fan but by what's on it, even if the Wilson mixes that are good to have and the book, I will likely pass on it. I have the remastered album on CD and the CD/DVD concert at MSG/NYC and...
Can't you offer them on the same TM site for re-sale or Kijiji? I guess some brokers like Stubhub would also buy them from you. Just an idea.
Most of mine have already been listed but I would add:
Kansas-Point of Know Return, Styx-Grand Illusion, Crosby Stills Nash & Young-Deja Vu, Synergy-Games, Triumvirat-Spartacus, Golden...
No problem. I did too, got mine for Montreal. Going with my son who is a big Deep Purple fan but I'm a lifetime Yes fan.
Never mind. it's SMOKE.
Oh yeah, this tour is mostly sheds with a couple of arenas so it makes sense to pair these veteran bands, going to be fun and for me, it's a farewell :up.
Looks like Pre-sale is on, does anyone know the passcode? I would say it's the same for USA and Canada.
That is precisely that I was so excited to see that they were going to play here in Halifax! The airfare money (no hotel cuz my son lives there) I would have spent flying to Montreal (where tix have...
I'm glad that you enjoyed your Nova Scotia visit with your wife, drop me a PM whenever you plan to come back so we can have a local brew (there's tons of them in NS). :-)
Just as I found out about the BEAT tour coming to Halifax, saving me expensive travel, the same case goes for STYX that will play here in Halifax also in May but in that case I would have not been...
Watched and listened to both the movie and the original cast 2CD. I enjoyed them just as the first time I heard them. Tim Rice says in the dvd interview that the whole concept is around how Judas...
I was 100% certain they would play Montreal and Toronto but never in my wildest dreams thought they would play in Halifax! No travelling, I'm beyond amazed! :up
Fripp is too busy to take part on this tour, he's a full time buffoon on the Fripp & Toyah Willcox videos.
That "Making of Physical Graffiti" documentary mentions something about Led Zeppelin songs that "seemed" progressive and that one was Kashmir. Well, not quite but I would say IMHO that the three most...
I'm also disappointed of not having a Montreal show. The closest is Concord NH that is almost a 4 hour drive from Montreal - not really that close :-(
The idea of Golden age is variable at least for me. I started in '64 with the early Beatles but never thought that ten years later the Golden age of prog would devour me. My first change or...
Paris the Live Supertramp album was one of the best Live albums of the 70's-80's IMHO, it ranks right up there with Genesis Seconds Out, Queen Live Killers, The Who Live at Leeds, Allman Brothers at...
Yes, on page 2 it says that Rick Davies reached an agreement with the plaintiffs in 2023. Meaning that it left Roger Hodgson as the sole hold out.
This is sad and by coincidence, I went to see a...
My guess is that when Steely Dan were becoming popular, it was during a time when groups like Crosby, Stills & Nash, Yes, America and Seals & Crofts were the "thing" with powerful harmonizing vocals...
You could not have hit the nail on the head more precisely! I totally agree with all that you said and adding that Rob's flute parts (that Gabriel did) are fine and fit well but it's the soprano sax...
The one major "prog" band that got in quickly was Pink Floyd and Genesis a little later but that took a while. I did not mention Marillion being in the Neo Prog era and are not so much a travesty as...
Agreed. Plus more Quintessential Prog bands (RRHOF doesn't like Prog): ELP, TULL, King Crimson, Camel, Gentle Giant and the already mentioned, Styx. The term pathetic is too soft to describe this...
Martin Levac (Phil Collins tribute artist) may not be a very well known musician in the states because he basically only tours in his native Quebec but his shows are very professional and gives great...
Of the older American prog: Starcastle, Cairo, Magellan, Dream Theater, Shadow Gallery and Spock's Beard to name a few MIAs...
Of the newer: Neal Morse Band, Stick men, Pattern-Seeking Animals,...
Wow, this video recording is the most pristine clear I have ever seen for this song, quite a gem indeed! Thanks for sharing.
Keeping with the title question of this thread, about songs NOT albums:
Tubular Bells - Mike Oldfield
Subdivisions - Rush
Heaven & Hell - Black Sabbath with Dio
Perfect Strangers - Deep Purple...
Wow, this a nice belated Christmas gift, thanks for posting!
I saw this tour 3 nights after TO at the Montreal Forum on February 25th 1974 and what I consider the best Yesshow that I have ever...
Of all of David's solo stuff, my favorites are the first two: David Gilmour (1978) and About Face (1984) specially since I saw that tour in '84.
Since then, the rest are all just above par but...
I don't own a CD player anymore but do own Blu-ray players that have the capability to play them. But consider that a CD player does not have Bluetooth technology that will sync with my really cool...
Crazy Train (Ozzy), We will rock you (Queen), anything from Dark side of the Moon and AC/DC...

In several cities where I've lived in or visited, there are some independent record stores that I can remember and are still remaining::)
Amoeba, Rasputin and Streetlight (Bay area and...
The bands I can recall having done this are progressive metal bands Dream Theater and Haken (these guys actually have several albums packaged with CD1 with vocals and CD2 instrumental version). It...
My Top Five:
(not necessarily in order)
-Peter gabriel - i/o
-Jethro Tull - Rok Flote
-Eloy- Echoes from the Past
-Flower Kings- Look at you now
-Riverside - ID Entity
One more spin-off reality tv similar to the series by Brian Johnson, Sammy Hagar, Ozzy or many others on this list:

Montreal Place des Arts tickets are ranging from $114 - $224 and not surprisingly, about only half the theater has been sold with 13 days to go.
First, not interested. Second, I met Geddy in...
Not sure if Canadian streaming service crave (partners with HBO) is global and you can create your own account but if yes, you can watch the documentary as many times as you want here without buying...
Tour is over and by what can be seen on the Tony Levin photo diary, it was avery sad day to say goodbye. Something that didn't happen with King Crimson (in which Tony also is a band member).

It's funny how time changes everything; when Portnoy left Dream Theater, he was too involved with Transatlantic and Neal Morse band. TA appears to have folded and NMB is on hiatus so Portnoy now has...
I have to tip my hat twice:
1 - To the fervent and loyal Phillies fans, that were standing the whole time for the 4 games played in Philadelphia (they never sat down!) and stood by their beloved...
No no.. I was referring to that Clive is a member of both bands (Arena and Pendragon), visiting Montreal with Arena on 9/29 and next June 2024, he will be "returning" to Montreal as a Pendragon...
Len Goodman (1944-2023) Not prog but was a very talented dancer, RIP.
I posted this video on YouTube yesterday, excuse long delay. It's short (I have more) but had a good time seeing Magma in Austin in one of those rare American tours in 2016:

With only one week to go until the final show in Houston and still no i/o album release? I guess Peter who is SO different from all the other artists like him, he may have been testing the waters so...
The customs guys must know you pretty well at the border by asking: "going to another concert?" lol
I missed all that Prog stuff, it's a grueling 12 hour drive for me from Atlantic Canada but...
Another wasted streaming concert ticket - the last night of Progstock was exactly the same as it was a year ago when the final performer (this time Patrick Moraz) was at least a full hour delayed and...
I agree that PG newer material has sounded alike in melody and mood for the past decade. But comparing PG and the current Yes is a very bad one (like comparing apples with oranges). The Steve Howe...
Ditto for me! Their music is highly enjoyable, melodic and prog at the same time, long awaited!
Not only that but with Import CDs you have to clear customs and it could go higher.
Freeson (Montreal vendor) has it for $103.99 CND but although it says free delivery if ordering above $70,...
Could you please provide the advance Streaming ticket sales date or an estimate on when to expect them to be available?
Much appreciated.
I am not a vinyl buff, so I ordered over the weekend my CD copy :) of the IQ Subterranea Live IQ30 Celebration! This what was posted on the IQHQ board:
After many requests for a CD version of the...
Responding to the title of this thread: Look for Giles Giles & Fripp that started it all in August 1967.
I have a similar scenario with King Crimson: saw them in May 1973 as an opener and again in September 1973 as a headliner in Montreal.
In 1974 saw Eric Clapton at the Montreal Forum in July and...
For me, that label is always remembered for Styx, Supertramp, Strawbs, Rick Wakeman and Nazareth.
But the large majority was not prog but mainstream like The Carpenters and Tijuana Brass to name...
I was holding on to my wish that this 1982 concert in Italy would have been in this monster box but apparently it possibly did not meet the standards or had a copyright issue. A missed opportunity.
...
Symphonic Led Zeppelin - Place des Arts Montreal - Sept 12
Peter Gabriel i/o tour 2023 - Bell Centre Montreal - Sept 13
Doobie Brothers - Scotiabank Centre Halifax - Oct. 13
I don't have this album but I do have and am listening to Capolinea that follows that same vein of jazzy melodic latino prog, very enjoyable. Italian prog has always been underrated.
Hudson is very frail and rarely performs, he lives in an assisted living home. He is 4 years older than Bob Dylan who is 82 and you could say Dylan was so close to them could be considered a sixth...
Not only Yes are playing in smaller theaters (not arenas anymore), shorter tours, down scaled production and only in the American market, they have also by passed the Cruise to Edge for some time...
