He's from where I am prestently sitting, in my office in Ferguson, MO (my oldest sister went to high school with him). I look forward to hearing this whole interview.
Rick is a Youtube treasure!!!

For the record, i've seen Crimson, Stickmen, Belew solo, Levin solo, and others and i was very thrilled to hear the Crimson nuggets as performed by tu-NER last Saturday.

Hello Michael, it was great seeing you again this year!

I support this idea 1000%

Something posted by our good buddy Fernando Perdomo on facebook, this sounds pretty damn good

"Huge new Release. Rick Wakeman of Yes, Chester Thompson of Genesis and Weather Report, and Jah Wobble...

I'll respectfully disagree.

I thought Zealot Gene was much better than I expected and those expectations were pretty low. This album i think is much better, i like the addition of the new guitar...

I agree that Awaken was a spiritual encouter with the show we saw a couple of nights ago.

What made it even more special is the vocal part that leads up to the big instrumental bridge with the...

I just saw the Jon and Band Geek show a couple of nights ago and there are a few more reasons why they sound better:

I think you hit the nail on the head with the drummer driving the songs but in...

I just saw this announcement from one of my favorite venues. I liked Carl's last project with the two young guys reinterpreting ELP music well enough but i think i'm going to have to take a hard pass...

Great RS article, I always did like Benoit David and was nice to hear his side of things. For my money he was the best vocalist that's not Jon Anderson.

Regarding Styx, I was never really a fan...

I absolutely love this band, Equilibrismo being my favorite probably because this was the first album of their's I bought to get familiar with them before the Nearfest show. Needless to say they blew...

I've always remembered him having an amber on tap but this year's pale ale and hazy ipa were both on the hoppier side (seems to be the current trend). I had what seemed like a shit-ton of beers with...

I noticed from the time we checked in until we left on Monday there was weed smell permeating throughout the hallways constantly.
I think with the number of legal states people have gotten pretty...

A couple of thoughts -

Why Taylor? Because Dave Grohl and his band of misfits are one of the bright lights keeping the flames of what we call Rock'n'Roll burning brightly, Taylor was a gifted...

What happened to me quite a few times was with my fuzzy peripheral vision I would have a Geezer or Toby or TJ or Chris sighting and quickly have a "no, they aren't here anymore" realization. Very sad...

This new release is auto buy stuff for me.

I just wanted to mention if you're a vinyl person get the remaster of Devouring on clockwork orange vinyl, it sounds fantastic!!

Some random thoughts from my still jet-lagged and very fatigued brain (and in no particular order):

First off, it was great to be back and see all of my old friends, I missed you all very much. It...

relieve some crab gas?? no need to stop for that, roll up the windows and make them all suffer!

Was great to see you Ed, and many thanks again for the wonderful crab dip and chowder, my god that...

very cool, thanks for sharing.

Omar Hakim was excellent on YYZ and old Grohl can bash around on drums better than anyone.

So who's better at this:

The current Yes with Steve Howe and whoever else is along for the ride -or- Jon Anderson and the School of Rock kids?

This 50th anniversary show is going to be less...

We'll miss you Jed, all the best to you and your family.
See you next year.

Very sad news indeed.
I've been a fan for a pretty long time. I found it pretty shocking that he was only 51 mainly because the guy has been around for a pretty long time.
Also pretty mind...

Aww, that might be the last place we dined out with the Geez

Luckily he had Les to back him up

Hopefully Geoff and Jay will do the introduction

No super deluxe prints of the Dot Com album art!

More importantly - no drinking and urinating in the pool, at least jump out and go in the bushes!

So great to see the announcements, carry on!

There's been more than 1 occasion where TJ was the first guy I saw in the lobby upon checking in.
I was really looking forward to seeing him again.
This is heartbreaking.

They posted a video of them entertaining the cruise ship workers loading the luggage. Those guys are non-stop.

I'm going to place a bet on a full weekend of Marbin (one full day of fusion, one full day of storytime and a bonus preshow of gypsy jazz).

He and many others will be missed.

I dig the hell out of Rammstein every time i hear them, would love to see them live.
You were certainly in the right place at the right time!

I'm a bit of a fan, have seen them in a larger night club and later in a plush theater with 1st row center tickets. They put on a pretty mind-blowing show each time.
Damn, looks like they're...

Glad you're feeling better.
I've heard from others that were on the cruise who came up positive too.

Out of curiosity does the cruise-line want to hear from people that tested positive and...

But it was Jim who etched them into our brains

Spoiler Alert:


They broke even. It would have been interesting if they would have included some more information about what they took in with tix sales, merch ect to help give a fuller picture....

The Ben Levin comment jumped out at me like a safe falling out of a building.

The pandemic has re-written just about every business model and touring musicians are going to feel this for a long...

No VIP, I think this was just a nice courtesy from the band.
This particular venue has always had the performers hanging in the lobby after the show to chat with fans after the show. In the post...

They did do a sort of meet and greet, all band members except Ryo were seated at a table masked, seemed very gracious to fans, talking and signing stuff. I was kind of surprised attendees weren't...

I was at the kickoff show in Edwardsville, IL (St Louis).
The level of musicianship is fantastic. This is an action, adventure ride of epic proportions.
One thing that was really cool is Michael...

i think scalping has gone the way of the switchblade knife

here in Missouri anyway "ticket brokers" are perfectly legal and so is a guy carrying a handgun with no permit.

I remember those old...

Whatever you do make sure you see Sparks Thursday night (and Mdou Moctar too).

I just saw their show in Chicago and it may have been the best concert i have ever seen.

Going to see Sparks in Chi-town tomorrow night, face value price was $89 and fees amounted to about $6 each (obviously not ticketbastard). I'm sitting 5th row center in a nice theater and i am...

I made an impulse buy about 3 weeks ago and picked up The Tipping Point on blue vinyl with the 7" bonus disc and have to say, this record has had a hard time leaving my turntable. It is fantastic....

I received our blue vinyl copy yesterday, spun it while we had a couple of cocktails and have to say, 2 very enthusiastic thumbs up.
I read elsewhere someone mentioning that this album seems like...

Wifee just bought me Nasty Gal remastered on vinyl for xmas, she was a force of nature alright!!

RIP

I just found out this is coming to one of my favorite venues in april, very exciting!

Man, i don't get that at all. Russell is a complete origingal, never duplicated.

To me Surkamp always sounded like an annoying cartoon character and that's always tainted my interest, the rest of...

I bought this for my wife, she will get it on her birthday tomorrow.
Love the cover art!

Update:

After listening to the 1st disc last night i would say as a whole it exceeded my expectations...

The Dictators were a much more solid choice.

Surkamp is still knocking around town here in st Louis with the Pavlov's Dog name, every once in a while surfacing with a crackerjack band playing the old songs. For my money if there's no Steve...

Thanks for posting, blue vinyl order placed!

An interview in Sound and Vision

https://www.soundandvision.com/content/ian-anderson-zealous-nature-jethro-tulls-past-present-and-future

I think the band is very talented but I never could get into that singer (just didn't work for me). I like the newer girl better, I like her edgier, more Joan Jett-like quality, but still ain't...

Not this time around, hopefully she will be back another time.
Even if it were just the 4 core guys (Martin, Dan, Alan and Darby) they can still burn the place down.

Thanks for the review. Although I not real big on anything Ian has done from DotCom on I will probably buy this anyway, it sounds interesting enough.

On a side note I just saw Martin Barre and...

They completely have my permission to use that, hell, i might even buy one of their albums if they did 😺

As the architect of the "butt-hurt theory" I have to say since Alex chose to use different sonic shades and guitar textures over reckless abandon noodling and straight forward riffs that it was a...

This is a very nice tribute, i love the artwork, nice song selection too!
One of the bands i was not familiar with was Rain - that one caught me by surprise, really cool stuff.
Closing out with...
