IQ is doing (or have done) a live version of "The Dark Christmas Suite" at this year's Christmas shows.
😂😂😂😂
After looking at those stills, I do remember seeing Phil singing at the front mic with a green-ish bluei-sh laser cone surrounding him - from the Dallas show in March of 1977.
With the 50th Anniversary coming up next Spring, I'm very blessed to have acquired the Holy Grail CD version of DSOTM just a few months back (in a local CD store) for a good price. I may try to do...
From their Official FB page: The band have finished work on the 23rd Jethro Tull album. Bruce Soord of The Pineapple Thief has just completed the surround sound mixes and an alternative stereo mix...
^^^^^^^^ You, sir, are a poet! Sig worthy for sure. 😉
Paid $160 per seat (including fees) for section 101 floor seats in Dallas. Closer floor seats were listed for $300 and up.
With Phil's vocals & the pastoral atmosphere in TGATG, I always felt that I was listening to a gorgeous "lost" Genesis album from the early days. High praise indeed!
First Friday of the Month. . . Bandcamp Friday is back!
I saw him in Dallas last night. His voice was ragged on the first song, but he found his voice by the second song and was good almost all the way thru to the encore. His voice was fading out when...
It's Friday!
It's Friday somewhere right now!
The next Bandcamp Friday is*September 2nd, and they will continue on*October 7th,*November 4th, and*December 2nd. As always, https://isitbandcampfriday.com/ has the details.
Porcupine Tree & Steven Wilson Solo elevate the songs they do live to a higher plane. I still hugely prefer the live DVD versions of Anesthetize & Luminol over their studio versions.
I was never a fan of the Pink (Ohr) Years. I got on the TD train with Phaedra and stayed on thru the 80s 90s 00s 10s and even now with the new TD. I have not liked everything they've done, but do...
Yea! Mine showed up on my doorstep yesterday. Only took 9 months since pre-ordering in Nov. 2021. 5 weeks until the live show.
It is shipping by Media Mail (the same as the old Parcel Post) slower than First Class.
Good news! Just got the shipping notice from LaserCD (and a tracking number) Just a few more days. Thanks, Ken!
I was there, it was Summer 2019, just before the pandemic hit the world. Got to shake hands with Roger Dean.
I believe his wife is very ill.
Awhile back, I found a copy of IQ's Tales from A Lush Attic (30th Anniversary Edition) on Greg's site. It was not available anywhere else. I sent him a check & it was in my mailbox a few days...
Yes, I hate that! Makes everyone look like they gained 60 pounds and lost 8" of their height. 😡
I like the album cover!
😂😂😂😂
I pre-ordered my deluxe set from LaserCD on Nov. 3, 2021. Still waiting . . . .
Apparently no distributor/retailer in the US has received their physical product. I contacted LaserCD on Saturday to check on my order and this was the reply:
Sony has not received inventory yet....

Thanks, Jefftiger! I now have the deluxe edition (with FLAC files no less) in digital form. You are an awesome human person!
I keep getting a "not found 404" when I try to access the link. Is it possible this is not available to USA buyers?
Release day is today. Amazon US is already out of stock, both the single CD and the deluxe CD versions, vinyl still available. PTree website had single CD version, but sold out of the deluxe CD...
It's verrrryyy nicccceeee!!!! In an outrageous French accent.
This link works in the USA: https://youtu.be/-LpyCV3Etmw
^^^^^ People make assumptions all the time when negotiating deals. The YES boys & management would naturally assume that hiring a keyboardist would include studio work, writing, arranging, creative...
Too bad he's not around to confirm or deny the story officially.
🤣 😁🤣
Peter Gabriel left Genesis in August 1975. 19 months later, he released his first solo album: Car. 16 months later, he released the second album: Scratch. 23 months later, he released his third:...
Have not had a chance to listen to the interview yet, but I've always believed that Eddy was to YES as George Martin was to the Beatles. He showed them ways to utilize the recording studio as a new...
Just 3 weeks until PT/CC release date! Hope LaserCD ships my pre-order so it gets to my house on release day. Do they still do that?
"*I Lost My Head - The Chrysalis Years" (2012) should have the UK mix version of Civilian and the Columbia Records (US) version should have the "US remix". Just sayin', but I could be wrong.
Carl Sagan's Cosmos TV show on PBS featured some tasty Vangelis music from the late 70's.
SH has not played in Texas since the mid-80's. Ironically he plays Arizona on every US tour.
Sounds like the last time I purchased tires & had them installed at Walmart. 😉 Sorry, Barry that you had such a suck-tastic experience. ☹️
Supposedly many modern-day Indians still creamate their dead on wooden funeral pyres next to the Ganges River. Saw it on a Terry Jones-hosted travel show a few years ago.
Based on some recent footage I saw featuring Alan White (A news story about someone stealing his John Lennon-era drum kit) I do not believe Alan is capable of traveling, much less drumming. Very...
Checked prices for Austin (Texas) Moody Center: $143 for lower balcony. I really like RM but too rich for me. Just spent a comparable amount for PTree tickets. I will just have to satisfied...
Simon was on the cusp of turning 20 years old when Chester joined Genesis rehearsals late in 1976. Simon was already a session musician by then and played on the 801 Live album with Brian Eno in...
^^^^^ A very intelligent & erudite orangutan, very reminiscent of Maurice Evans!
I been doing my part to help increase CD sales the last couple of years. 🤑
Found this thread while searching for Jon Anderson related stuff: Listened to the SW re-mixed "Tales" in 5.1. The separation of the tracks into multiple listening channels really helps to expand...
^^^^^^^ Not trying to be Henry here, but Jon married Jannneeeeee in 1997 and his health scare was in 2008. The "wacky Jon" documentary was shot in 2010 or later.
According to data published by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), CD sales in the U.S. increased for the first time since 2004 last year, rising from 31.6 million in 2020 to 46.6...
I have run a search on Youtube for the doc video and it seems to have been "expunged" 😕
It was a documentary where two filmmakers from the Midwest came out to SLO to follow Jon around for a few weeks with cameras. I remember the NAMM convention footage well. The guitar "theft" and the...
Speaking as a former live TV director, part of the problem may be that there is usually little to no rehearsal at live music events for the Dir or AD to take notes from (who is playing from moment to...
Since DMG is Fripp's bag, no question that it will be released as a Blu-Ray extravaganza. Looks interesting.
+1 👍🎸🎹🥁🎤
😄😄😄
"The album's continuity is constantly broken by jumping from the acoustic/solo ground-floor to the electric/band floor..." This sounds like the Steven Wilson Solo/Porcupine Tree mission statement. ...
As far as PTree is concerned, I paid $70.50 for 2 tickets GA (standing pit) on their last tour in 2010. Enjoyed the hell out of the show, but I had lost the feeling in both of my legs after 3 hours...
