"The Yes Album" shortly after it was released. A girl I know loaned it to me and I was completely blown away by it. One of my all time favorites still.
Yes (through Going for the One)
King Crimson (All)
Gentle Giant (All but Giant for a Day)
Genesis (through Wind & Wuthering)
EL&P (EL&P, Trilogy, BSS)
Honorable Mention: The first two Flash...
Hi Gary, I was there too, but my first was Dillon Stadium in 1972. This particular Colt Park show was one of my favorites though. I loved it when Moraz was part of the band. If I remember correctly...
I first saw them on September 25, 1972 when they were touring Close to the Edge. The year that is the subject of the current Progeny box set. Alan White had been with them only for a short time. I...
Favorite vocal albums: Quit Dreaming and Get On the Beam, The Love that Whirls (Diary of a Thinking Man's Heart), Getting the Holy Ghost Across, Fancy Planets, and Shining Reflector. Live at the...
I jus did a really quick count of my Bill Nelson collection minus Be-Bop and side projects: 95, some of which have multiple CD's. As far s I am aware, I have all but one. Many, if not most are...
Everyone is certainly entitled to their opinion. For me, nothing beats the period from The Yes Album through Relayer (which I especially love). There are things on Magnification that I like and even...
You have no idea
I recently purchased the Steve Hackett CD/DVD set of Genesis Revisited: Live at Hammersmith and have been enjoying it, especially the video. I noticed that the bass player Lee Pomeroy, has his...
For what it is worth, I like it. Clearly made up of out-takes for the most part, but a wonderful and fitting tribute to their friend and keyboard player, at least that is how it seems to me. Am I the...
Keith Emerson & Goblin: La Chiesa
The Enid: Something Wicked This Way Comes
Just realized I should have also included Peter Banks, R.I.P.
For me they would be Steve Howe, Robert Fripp, Adrian Belew, Bill Nelson, Steve Hackett (the most emulated), and Steve Morse (maybe not exactly prog, but certainly has the chops). By distinctive I...
While I didn't care much for the EL&P remixes, I think Lark's Tongue in Aspic and Lizard are revelations. Really enjoying Passion Play and Power and the Glory as well. I don't have the Hawkwind or...
My first concert was Black Sabbath and I couldn't drive, so assuming I was 15. My first "Prog" concert was Yes in 1972 at Dillon Stadium in Hartford, Connecticut. The Eagles, Edgar Winter, and then...
Actually, the album states that some of the music was recorded in Hartford as well, the problem is that it does not say which songs were recorded in which venue. That is what I am wondering if anyone...
Does anyone know which song(s) was/were recorded in Hartford, CT on the Travels album? I was there, but it was 1982 and I cannot recall. I had it on vinyl, but it got destroyed by a burst water pipe....
Love this album - AND all the others!!!! Please keep them coming
I am a big fan of his and have seen him numerous times, both solo and with the Egyptians. The stories between songs are incredible. Favorite albums are Fegmania and Element of Light with the...
I recently purchased the Madfish version and have really been enjoying it. I had the two previous versions so obviously I like the album, but I hadn't listened to it for quite some time and have been...
I love it and think it sounds fantastic. I admit that although Mr. Wilson's re-mixes are usually superb, I had some trepidation regarding CttE after the ELP discs. I was worried that Eddie Offord and...
1.The Yes Album
2. Going for the One
The only others I truly love have Roger Dean covers
I did! Colt Park in Hartford, CT. The Eagles opened followed by Edgar Winter and then (finally) Yes. I was already a huge fan of the records and was completely blown away by Wakeman's mellotron...
Same here which is why I also ordered mine from Burning Shed. I had some misgivings about the Lark's Tongue set due to the origins of many of the recordings and didn't order it as a result. I go back...
Have to admit that I was not previously a fan. Really to liked Moving Pictures after the fact and LOVED Snakes and Arrows out of the box. I find Clockwork Angels good, but not AS good as Snakes and...
As much as I am a HUGE fan of Yes (until and including Relayer and most of Going for the One) as well as Steve Wilson and his remixes, I have to say I was more than a little disappointed by his work...
I will be there. Birthday present to myself. Going with a buddy of mine since my wife refuses. I took her to see the League years ago and she made me leave during their sixth encore. She thought it...
Yes, I got mine from their web site. Definitely one of my favorites.
I know this has probably been discussed before, but don't recall seeing it. Of all the progressive drummers that I see mentioned most of the time (Bill Bruford,Phil Collins,Marco Minnemann, Tobias...
Just finished listening to this for the first time. Ken described them as being like Erpland era Ozrics and he wasn't kidding. Really enjoy it. Different enough from Ozrics and Quantum Fantay to...
Perhaps if you reworded your question to read "Is Big Big Train the greatest band ever to be named Big Big Train?" you would find more agreement. I would also point that ever implies everything that...
[QUOTE=N_Singh;66353]Easy. Heyday.
I agree. Heyday is my favorite, although I like Starfish quite a lot. I don't have everything by them, but am missing only a few things. Nothing that I don't...
Seems awfully slow. That being said, much better than I was expecting.
Personally, I love the SACD format and SHM. Definitely prefer 5.1 when I can get it, but my understanding is that is not to be for CttE. If I read things correctly, it is supposed to ship tomorrow so...
He is working on Nonsuch
Thank you for the link. I own very few boots and have no idea where to look for them. I am of course most interested those with the highest ratings, but also the 2 star recording from New Haven since...
I am looking very forward to both. While I enjoy Beat, I like Three of a Perfect Pair even more. Can't wait to hear what Mr. Wilson does with them. Rather than making me feel old, listening to them...
Bill is incredibly prolific. I just counted how many discs I have of his and came to 100 which includes a number of multiple disc sets, but leaves out the compilations and the Be-Bop material. It is...
Taliesin is correct, Bill started doing more ambeint kinds of music with Sounding Out the Ritual Echo, long before Sylvian headed in that direction. The purpose of most of it back then and certainly...
It is definitely one of my favorite Crimson albums, especially the title track. Especially perfect for listening late a night. I know Fripp was unhappy with it for a long time, but said he changed...
For me two immediately come to mind: "The Gates of Delirium" and "Lizard."
I know that the implication is that we pick new albums, but I am going to say "Larks' Tongue in Aspic" because I think the remix/remastered versions are stunning and make it sound new.
Thoroughly enjoying it. Almost as much as LTIA andextremely happy that it is nothing like the teo Emerson, Lake and Palmer re-mixes!
There certainly seems to be a wide variety of opinions as to which might be "essential." I think it depends exactly how obsessed you are with them. In my case I would say pretty much. That said the...
