They have a nice free 3 cd compilation up on bandcamp.
Albany sold out. Boston has a few secondary market tix. We have great seats for Montreal, 7th row center at what is our favorite concert venue, the wonderful theatres at the Place Des Arts.
Montreal "full." Glad I jumped on pre-sale!
Not sure if we'll be back in town for the Iron Horse show, as we'll be in Montreal for BEAT on the 17th...and where and when's the Montreal gig?
Montreal for us.
In my email today:

Some pre-sales start tomorrow, including Boston.
Sounds like they owned the CTTE.
Great to see you albeit briefly!
"The Tangent for one"
Loved the show on Tuesday in Arlington (Boston). as did my wife. Not great at such things, but estimate 300 attendees (?). Sound was stellar, we chatted with the Regent's sound guy who said he had...
I was at all of these! (one show at Beacon).
It'll be great to see you guys, been too long.
Yikes Doug! You could've just said you don't like BBT! Joking aside, be well soon! You will be missed!
PE roll call for the Regent? Karen and I will be about sixth row center.
Picked this up yesterday in preparation for Tuesday's show. Two spins in, really liking this release. Was surprised to see David Lord's engineering credit, last I heard of him was his arrest for...
I heard an interview with John Greenwood on NewEars radio show (Delicious Agony) yesterday and sounds like he's got a killer solo release out, "Dark Blue." He mentioned it's sold 80 copies.
Then there have been timeless shows featuring music from albums yet to be released, such as Yes in November '74 at the Garden, days before Relayer was released. I remember raving about the new music...
“I’ve Seen All Good People” by Yes – "This prog rock hit plays over the opening titles and into the opening scene of Fargo’s season 5 premiere. Dot is arrested for unwittingly tazing a police officer...
Listening the Cured in Cleveland grey-area release (which I've had as a ROIO for years) reminds me that as a vocalist, Steve's a great guitarist. What a band...Magnus, Mosely, Cronk... but oh those...
Anyone mention the new season began with Yes?
Each time I've seen them I've enjoyed their playing hugely.
I was fortunate enough to see nosebone and co. at the same fest in Ct. where I saw Advent, IZZ and 3rDegree.
I dug Crucible so much (after turning onto Tall tales before their Nearfest gig) that we subsequently ventured to Stonington CT to see them at Fatty McGee's. They were doing all covers (Gabriel,...
^^^^^^^^
Big fan. Loved seeing them at Nearfest and have a nice recording of that show.
I read based on a recommendation from a friend all of David Eddings' Belgariad and Malloreon works. I really dug these but am now doing a deep dive into Katherine Kurtz' Deryni books, currently in...
Isn't Haken considered part of this sub-genre? I think it's what's turned me off to their sound following my enjoyment of The Mountain.
On plus side: PSA now normal, but as urologist said yesterday, you do have cancer, but 3/4 of folks with your presentation will never need any intervention." Whew!
On downside: they had me...
Me too! In fact, I would say the same regarding much of Hillage's solo output.
I do love me my US prog, huge echolyn and HTM fan among many others, Somehow I missed a bunch of great "modern" US prog over the decade or so, I'm now discovering some real gems that eluded me...
Thanks Bill! Maybe a show in Western MA?
I like Steve Hillage's wonderful solo album Fish Rising more than any Allen-era Gong.
Love growing old with PE!
I enjoyed the reunion of a few years back at the Wilbur in Boston.
Thanks! Hadn't noted my post count!
Even tried rotating the original....help! It's me and Nad and Jonas!
The Rome Pro(g)ject...great symph, Hackett guests.
Steve Hackett in Montreal
Snarky Puppy at UMass
Thank You Scientist-Amherst despite getting Covid
Should A Prog Christmas or a Very Proggy Christmas count?
Will grab tix for the Regent tomorrow!
Picked up the 2 disc release today, 15% oof at Newbury Comics, 20 bills.
Not sure why I dig when this happens, seems almost like the artist acknowledging our appreciation of this music we love and they produce. Some fave examples, sure I've missed some:
...
The only Hackett album I've ever traded in.
The Gettysburg Address was on PRR...and at least one other...the EP?
We were really up there for Hackett! Plus saw a 360 degree immersive Dark Side of the Moon and the Stop Making Sense remaster...so no bummer! What a contrast between drummers...no Jed, not a top hot...
Frankly a bit underwhelming Guy. Besides Mick Pointer's pedestrian drumming and Damian holding back a bit due to illness. John Mitchell later posted he was also ill and poorly lit
Benoit David.
I have all the albums and need to revisit, it's been years.
Great show on Tuesday night at the beautiful Place Des Arts, especially impressive given it was the opening night of the tour. Great new lights and the crowd was highly appreciative.1724217243
They're in Montreal while we're in town for Hackett and Arena...and so is Goblin...
Enjoyed them live twice (NJ Proghouse Homecoming some ten years ago and more recently at the show where I contracted Covid) so will be interested in seeing what happens next...
Just scored tix to see one of my bucket list bands, Arena, in Montreal next week (9/29) which is when we're in town for Steve Hackett! Now with Damian Wilson, one of my favorite vocalists ever, I am...
Got the new live set on Friday and while I haven't yet watched the Blu Ray, gotta say Nad sounds great. Headed up to Montreal next week to see Steve et als. at our favorite venue!
"Adrian Belew, both solo and his work with King Crimson." LMAO.
Nice review of the Montreal show. https://montrealgazette.com/news/local-news/montreals-50-year-love-affair-with-peter-gabriel-is-going-strong
