The Olsen twins of Prog.
I was at this show. Would have preferred their own drummer to have played it since he would be more familiar with all the percussive nuances. But it was still pretty cool.
Collateral damage. Rock 'n roll is dangerous.
Thankfully the PC police is here to tell us what to be offended by. The rest of Yes probably don't give a shit.
It was a logistical choice. They were able to record more material with two bands alternating on recording sessions. That's why they paired up the veteran rhythm section of Collins and Jones with...
Yeah, I've been seeing a lot praise for Questlove nailing the drum parts. Did they watch the same performance that I did? It's clear he's out of league (and this track is one of the easier Collins...

John Goodsall has said that they never saw any royalties from Hit & Run and Tony Smith.
Here's what Eddie Offord thinks about Bruford and I tend to agree. Bruford was good at the tickly-paradiddle stuff but lacked some "shoulder" in his playing.
“I worked with both drummers – first...
I'm late to the game in snatching up these 40th anniversary sets. Top rate in all aspects. Does anyone know if TAAB 40th will be re-released? Currently fetching +-$125 on Ebay.
What were they pretending to be?
Novak Djokovic ruined tennis.

Is it possible that he actually meant influential on himself.
Don't forget the live album From Stone And Steel. Great stuff.

Trevor has told us that many of the keys will be dropped. My friend has set up quite a few guitars for him for alternate tunings.
Wow, that singer's falsetto is really weak.
I'm holding out for an Animals tour CD/DVD.
The remaster of Animation sucked so bad. Still needs a proper remastering.
Just witness his solo rendition of Inca Roads. Who else would have the audacity to pull this off?

Phil Collins ruined solo careers.
No question that it's live. Perhaps they didn't have many versions to choose from. Jon was already out of Yes at the time it was released, so maybe he wasn't available to "patch in."
Reminds of...
I see Masques as more of their "fusion by numbers" album. They definitely toned down the trippiness while ramping up the polish. The sound is all around tighter and more cohesive thanks to the...
Painting is not performance art.
Never really liked the drum solo on Yessongs. But I quite like this one from Bill from the 80s. He had matured as a drummer.

You know what's funny is that at the end of Enigma when Mark Bonilla says, "Rachel, wow, unbelievable," I had just said those exact words. My friend turned to me and said you just said that. Hard to...

Will Hackett be touring again soon? Kind of bummed that I missed the last show.
Anyone know why Joe Travers is not touring with ZPT anymore? He was also the vault-meister for ZFT so maybe there was a conflict of interest?

Yes, because we all know that you are right of course.
$130? i hope this is going to a charity in Keith's honor.
Frank himself heard that a lot and tended to disagree.
The Spider.
I see what you mean, but not having seen the original KC of the 70s, it was exhilarating to hear and see these songs performed live at the Orpheum Theater. Especially with Mel Collins in tow...
Yes, true, except they can't hear anything because of all the yelling and screaming. ;)
Thank you. I was personally ecstatic to hear these jems that have not been performed live in 40 plus years!
I've always considered Karn Evil 9 quite prophetic in it's depictions of a dystopian future.

It's a national show, so it's seen around the country and will be good to promote upcoming shows in Toronto, Chicago and New York. PS. The Forum show was not sold out. They were selling discount...

Great show at the LA Forum Sunday night. The Forum was recently renovated with theater seating and acoustic treatment. Sound was very good, no longer reflective and harsh. The musicians in the band...
And yet people still called them pretentious.
Because the voice is too high and screechy?

Love the folksy/country side of Floyd.

How about the scene where he says, "Fuck Tull" and smashes the record of Passion Play. What a riot!
I like this.
Thanks Rob. Yeah, it goes all funky 70s there for a minute.
Thanks Progmaniac!
Another new collaboration with Mike and the gang. This one jams hard!

Thanks! This track was pieced together from sessions going back to 2009. Chris recorded his parts 5-6 years ago and may be some of the last work he's done. I believe Mike Moje wants to write a...
Thanks man. It's hard sometimes to get through to people.
A new song/collaboration with Mike Moje, Stretch Schoonraad, Chris Shryak (ex Under The Sun), Vince Vrbancic and myself.

Also worthy of note is the fact that TAAB and PP were both #1 hits in the US. That alone is an incredible feat.
Evolution's a bitch.
Here's a brand new song by Mike Moje (production/bass/keys), myself on drums and Stretch Schoonraad and Vince Vrbancic on guitars. Enjoy!

111 views and no comments. Pretty stingy group. Why bother???
Sorry about the double post. I had to change the audio clip from private to public. Moderator can delete the other post. Thx.
