Two immaculate innings by two Astros pitchers in the same game the other day. A couple of iffy called strikes, but still, pretty amazing.

19 seconds into the "unboxing" video linked above Roine mentions these releases are "remastered, 24 bit 96"...

On Roine's website, if you click on either release, it says, "A new fully analogue...

Hello, for consumer awareness, I ordered the colored vinyl versions of both releases (Back in the World and Retropolis) from Roine's website, and the total with shipping to US came to about $75 USD,...

A friend recently pointed out to me that Roine Stolt seems to be quite fond of using "funeral pyre" in his lyrics, but I don't know of other examples than this, off hand, from their newest album.

I'll be in Montclair Sat night (I don't see any other NJ show), with Richard Schwarz. Hope to see you there, Jed.

I'm planning to be at the Keswick and NJ shows, have great seats for both. I haven't listened to the album(s) nearly enough yet to really absorb either version, so I'll be going in somewhat cold....

Just guesses, of course...

Kansas - Leftoverture
Supertramp - Breakfast in America
Counting Crows - August and Everything After
U2 - The Joshua Tree
Discipline - Unfolded Like Staircase
...

Yes, that's why it would be funny.

They should have renamed them the Washington Insurrectionists and announced it today. Missed PR opportunity.

From Trey Anastasio's Facebook page:

Pat Martino
We lost a true genius of improvisational guitar yesterday. One of the greatest of all time. Pat Martino was an absolute giant of flow, musicality...

I have no idea. I only know I have AdC and Violato Intatto on vinyl, so I was just wondering about the new one.

Any chance of a vinyl release?

I became a fan of her music early 90's, but had sort of lost touch. I watched the whole Letterman compilation, what a beautiful tribute. Dave really loved her, and those were beautiful...

I was wondering if they would bring in an extra player or two to augment the sound... guess not. One nifty keys/gtr/voc guy could certainly add color and beef up some of the thin spots.

I'm told by a reliable source that the Keswick often holds back seats (often good ones) and then releases them for sale later so it may be worth checking back periodically.

Zonkey is a blast. Very creative mash-ups of songs you know. It's a studio album, not live.

I'd also recommend studio album Local Band Does OK as having perhaps their strongest material.

Yes, but not since 2013, so the few copies available on Discogs are currently $175 and up. Sealed copies of the 2020 Junta reissue are already listed for $100 and up.

Did you get the black and white splatter version that was just reissued late last year? I bought that as an extra copy, haven't opened it yet. I have one of the 2015 reissues on black vinyl and it...

A review by Dereck Higgins, whose videos discussing music, albums in his collection, etc. have been mentioned here in PE before. His reference to recent winning is he/his band(s) won two awards at...

^ joining Kansas, you mean? I was thinking the other day, he has played with at least four major heavyweights from the 70s - Yes, Camel, Renaissance, and now Kansas. Am I missing any? Pretty...

Enter Glad Bags

Ravens at Titans would be fun; a chance for Ravens to avenge last year's huge upset in Baltimore.

Just received my vinyl copy of the debut, looking forward to II.

I have CDs by probably a dozen of those listed, and recognize the names of several others. By my count, eight of them have played at ProgDay, most in the late 90's or early 00's, but one...

Did you see what this kid did though? I have gotten hooked on Jomboy videos, and here he dissects Alexander striking out the first 9 hitters he faced in relief yesterday.

...

Excellent stuff, thanks for that!

I had missed this (it's Kiick, btw). My ex-wife worked with him ca late 80's, early 90's. She was a legal secretary for Broward Co Public Defender's office, where Kiick worked as an investigator.

Major head scratching move by Packers to trade up for a QB in 1st round. Maybe it will work out like picking Rogers did when Favre was not yet washed up, but they could have used help at a lot of...

Wonder when it was recorded. His voice didn't sound like death yet.

Not really a lot of new info here for most of us, I suspect, but it's a pretty good summation, from a credible source. I hope a lot of young people watch this and get the message that a) they're not...

Awesome! Would be cool if Fern gets some notoriety (and paying gigs) out of this.

I just ordered the new album and the 40 yr thingy from merch desk, hope it helps them (and hope I get them!).

For me it's a little of both, I like how the colored vinyl looks, as well as the exclusivity, even though I rarely sell anything (so far). I buy records to play them. But if the colored vinyl is...

This is lengthy, and does divert to other topics, but this guy seems to know what he's talking about, so I found it very eye opening (I don't think it has been posted here, apologies if I missed it)....

I think all of that is taken right from SW's website, except instead of "most consistent work to date" his website actually says "most consistently brilliant work to date". So, Burning Shed actually...

Our good friend, carrier of the ProgDay torch, Michael Bennett.

Unfortunately all of his album art has been for CD releases (unless I'm mistaken). I would love to see some of his art on LP sized...

... no Met Man?

To me a lot of it is not that different stylistically, but is a bit more varied, which I hear as a plus. It's not as mature as Unfolded, the songs are all shorter, but there's plenty of instrumental...

Hmm... hadn't noticed that, will have to revisit that CD. With some 11 years between releases, it's very possible those first two songs were recorded well before the others. Both Circuitry and When...

Exciting news about Unfolded!

Mark (or Chad), have you talked to MP about Push & Profit, too? Maybe for future consideration, at least... I am probably in the minority, but I think that's a...

:up :cool :horns

I would be willing to dig pretty deep to help make a "better sounding" version (remixed / remastered / whatever) of Unfolded on vinyl (and CD, of course) happen.

I'd love to have both Push and...

I think they're sorry they got caught.

Further reflections from Pat Metheny (copied from his Facebook page)

As a few days have passed here, I am getting so many requests to comment on Lyle’s passing. Over the past hours, in response, I...

Crystal Ball comes between Equinox and Grand Illusion, so a great four album run (if you like Styx, which I do).

Agreed. I had never seen them live, and they were captivating. Chris Clark is a special talent on the keys, and sort of acted as front man in Goodsall's absence. Watching him play prog standards...

Love reading this summary each year, thanks for taking the time. I was unaware of the Erik H album or the PoS documentaries (or I forgot about them since you probably mentioned them in past years),...

He wasn't perfect, but boy was he great, and sometimes amazing.

Spoken from the perspective of a Vikings fan, I presume... not defending Packers fans per se, but most fans think their arch rival's fans are insufferable.

A good friend of mine from Philly would...

Very happy for the much maligned Tannehill. That first TD was incredible, both the throw and the catch.

Since he lives in Wisconsin, he's a Packers fan, but also a fan of ex-Badgers like Wilson, the Watt brothers, Melvin Gordon, etc.

My wife and I visited the lovely city of Asheville this past weekend. I popped into Voltage Records thinking I'd have a quick glance around before our 4 hr drive home. An hour plus later I walked...

Do you anticipate stocking the vinyl? If so, any ETA?

I wasn't able to watch games yesterday afternoon. I watched the highlights of the fantastic Saints-49ers game, but I have two questions:

1) why did Saints go for two after their second TD? They...

The Redskins? Hottest team in the division....

It is amazing our house didn't burn down. My dad smoked, so we had lots of matches to play with. We had a wood burning stove, for heat (the chimney would close up with soot so we got to inhale lots...
