For what it's worth, I've heard these songs dozens and dozens of times by now. The title track is probably my least favorite of the bunch (and I LIKE the title track.. just not as much as the...
The audience is busy, and if it is a grass roots prog lovin' promoter like CalProg, so are we. A couple of years ago, we had The Musical Box right around Christmas and it was pretty brutal.. at least...
You've been in my thoughts and prayers through the holidays. Hugs, Steve. Lots of love from us Georges.
It was a FABULOUS evening! I am still all a flutter. Thanks, gentlemen!
After hearing this album coming together for a year now, there are, as always spiritual overtones. Probably less than the usual. This is no more Christian or secular than the last couple of TA...
This is just terrible news. Steve, I am so sorry.
From Mascot Records:
This week only, there are several full album streams available for the upcoming album by Flying Colors: “Second Nature”:
US:...
I have never met him and yet, I feel the loss of him deeply. His enthusiasm for the music he loved so much, good or bad depending on which side of the coin, will be missed. It is hard to imagine PE...
It is a whole band writing project. The rough demos from a few months ago are very intriguing. I'm really looking forward to hear what happens in the upcoming sessions. I've been digging the initial...
The Slaughter show is a misprint. Flying Colors is definitely there on the 3rd.
I don't know exactly when their presale will begin.
Most meet and greets will be set up through the Radiant...
CalProg hosted a sold out Genesis
Revisited show in April 2013 in La Mirada.
For all SoCal Proggers who have been wanting to check out Sound of Contact (Simon--Son of Phil--Collins' band), they will be playing at SIR Studios in Hollywood. This is probably not a venue you've...
I hope everybody has a great time! I wish I could go. I've always wanted to go to Baja Prog. I take care of my mom, so I'm pretty much stuck. Randy will be there with the Neal Morse Band and they...
Exactly! Their love for the music and musicians who made lasting impressions in music and on them is so truly genuine. Heck, Mike has his top albums tattooed on his legs. Don't ever ask him about...
It's been a long time since music brought years to my eyes. For that to happen watching a crappy cell phone video just proves that some magic can manifest through even a cell phone video.
Even a...
So THAT's IT! No wonder most religions frown on pork. Bacon makes people forget about God stuff.
Randy and I can't wait to see more of RSOG, too. Randy was playing guitar in this song to fill in some parts and texture.
When I asked Randy how it all went with Jon, he said that Jon came in and...
This is the first I've heard about this. I have no clue. For the first few days, Randy and I were lucky if we could text one or two short lines a day. Mostly "I've landed" type stuff.
There is also some backward masking in Shine of Mike Portnoy's Starbucks order.
Randy is my husband. We married in 2011 :-)
Beyond the Sun… Neal wrote it in September. Rich was mixing in early October. It was a late addition. It is such a gorgeous song. I'm glad it ended up on Kaleidoscope.
I'm not sure that it was last minute so much. The other guys just didn't need to prep it for the sessions. Now I'm curious. I'll see what I can find out.
I know these guys. Everyone in the band has a voice on everything that happens. Neal didn't just sneak one in. Even if he wrote it, everyone thought it belonged on the album or it wouldn't be there....
There is no issue with the USA. This is a personal issue with Daniel. He was set and ready to go.
When I heard TA's version it sounded exactly like I thought it would sound like: Transatlantic doing Yes. They put their own spin on it. They would never do it like the original. Is it my favorite of...
Without spoiling it for anybody, I'd say it is unique. The stand-out feature is how the individuality of each member of the band shines (pun intended). It has balls. It has beauty.
Like any TA...
I've been listening to the final (or pretty much final) version for a month or so. Shine was a logical choice for the video release because at the time they did the video, Shine was finished. The...
SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!
Getting a P1a visa for the entire band isn't that bad. You pay one fee for everyone in the band. Unless it has to be expedited, it is not that cost prohibitive. Most Prog bands who don't tour a lot...
We're seeing this tomorrow at The Coach House. The drummer is Scott Connor, our friend and my husband's bandmate in Squonk (a Genesis tribute but I'm sure the name gives that away). The bass player...
Sorry to say... No Boston. Not sure why.
Facebook post from Randy George:
Here are the Transatlantic Tour dates! It's going to be a long one! I will be along as Tour Manager! Looking forward...
There is also a show Feb. 11th in Mexico City and more shows to be announced soon.
Premium seats were the first ten rows and some side row seats.
When you click on the tickets link, there are two options for tickets. To the left is Premium Seats (now sold out) and on the right...
Premiums are now completely gone. Lots of standard seats available.
Always assigned seats....
Tickets are on sale NOW and the premiums are almost sold out so better hurry. Plenty of standard seats (assigned) left.
8:00 AM when it's bright but still early :D
We're working on a "host" hotel with a CalProg rate. Stay tuned.
The venue is new to us, but when Jim and I checked it out, we loved it. It is a beautiful old theatre but most importantly, it has...
I had the single as a kid. The B side was Blackbean Soup
"All I want is black bean soup,
And you to make it with me."
Tickets are on sale now.
I love my Tele!

Pam's Tele/ Randy' Rick
My husband gave it to me for my birthday last year. He bought a white US Tele and had it painted seafoam green (I...
August 21st, Spock's Beard, Jolly, and Randy George will be at the Whiskey in Hollywood. On the 22nd all will be in San Diego at Brick by Brick.
...
Attn. folks that bought tickets for the Whiskey LA show and the San Diego Brick by Brick show:
There will be a show with Spock's Beard, Jolly, and a special TBA if SoC can't be ironed out. Don't...
If ever there was such a thing as a Prog Angel, it's Ken. He's 110% good!
Ken is a damned fine author, too! I enjoy his books very much. My favorite is Fairhaven.
...
There's no "John from CalProg". You mean Jim. Everyone just calls him PJ or Papa J, though. The venue was locked in and the bands, too, so we thought, but what we had planned for August has now moved...
I'm not sure about the arrangements with the Keswick, but as far as our show goes (CalProg), the VIP arrangements are in no way connected to tickets. Neal added the VIP after we had tickets on sale,...
I've never asked anybody for an autograph... except when I ask prog stars to sign my rack. (Nah.... that never happened, either)
The closest thing I have to a progger doodled thing is Eddie...
Mike Portnoy is confirmed for the tour.
Here's my brand spanking new US Telecaster. It was a birthday present from my husband, who knew I always wanted a sea foam green Tele. It was white, but he had it sent to Mile Lull in Seattle who had...
I know Randy started a thread about trying to find a YouTube poster but I thought I'd post here, too.
Does anybody know who msjsnow2012 might be on YouTube?
Randy really wants to have some of...
If anybody took a picture or video of the Marquee at the Arcada, that would be a perfect establishing shot. The band was scrambling for time. Normally they have one or two cameras catching things...
Yes! I can't wait. I even read The Hobbit again in anticipation. Bring on the Bilbo!
Thanks, Steve!
I found a bunch. There's some great FOH stuff there. :) I took Randy's word for it when he said he searched YouTube. I think he was using "Chicago" as his search term. It was, of...
Randy is working on the tour video for the Neal Morse Momentum US/Mexico City Tour. The only footage he doesn't have is from ProgNight Chicago. Did anybody get any video of this show? He's especially...
They will keep sending you stuff with better deals and they will phone you two or three times a week.
My PRS can be seen and heard at 5:28 here (Randy is playing it, though).
