The version of "America" from The Word Is Live is fantastic and quite different from the final studio version with Wakeman but this version is a different arrangement again. On the version from TWIL,...

This just popped up on the YMP FB page, courtesy of Doug Curran. Easily the most interesting Yes related footage find in years!!! There's excerpts of "Yours Is No Disgrace" and a different...

Does anyone know if there has been any news regarding the Robert Fripp Exposures box?

I too would love a copy of this set. The versions on YouTube have been on regular rotation for years now but I would still like to own a copy and actually pay the artists for it. A reissue would be...

Double kick pedals can be alright when used tastefully. Ginger Baker and Keith Moon are good examples of that but I do think that anything heavier than Cozy Powell on Rainbow Rising has been...

Without meaning to sound like a curmudgeon, which I almost certainly will, it has become harder and harder to keep up with any bits of King Crimson news as the KC news thread has become mainly...

A proper GTR reunion with a new album would be brilliant. Now that both the Steves have fully embraced their progressive style again it could result in some really special music.

More enthusiasm for an Exposure box set here!!! Hopefully they can unearth some more Fripp & Wetton jams!!! Also anything unreleased from The League Of Gentlemen is welcome.

I think greyzone is the correct term for this sort of release. They aren't official because the bands / artists aren't involved but they aren't completely bootleg either because they do get sold in...

I'm still trying to track down a copy of Emerson's book. Sadly it's been out of print for many years but I would settle for a pdf if anyone has one?

Not Bruford...

Wetton had been fired at Howe's insistence so when the band asked him to rejoin he did so at the condition that Steve leave. Can't really blame him, can you?

I think Steve and the others really...

That version of Lament is, indeed, from the Melody performance which was included in the Red CD/DVD release back in 2009.

All four songs were also uploaded to KC's official YouTube a few years ago...

What sexism? Other than the roadies sticking an ELP sticker on a flight attendant's backside and the cameraman focusing on Elinor Emerson's groin, I don't remember anything else and neither of them...

Even though it's only an hour, a very honourable mention MUST go to the BBC broadcast of ABWH's show at the NEC in Birmingham. I don't know about the Gonzo release as I haven't heard it but I have a...

So today sees the release of BCNR's debut album!

For those of you who don't know, Black Country New Road are a British band that have been growing and playing live for a few years. They've finally...

Hopefully they find the full concert that appeared on Slipstream. I'm not particularly into Tull but I'm an Eddie Jobson fanatic so a chance to see him perform Nostalgia / Walking To Pastel would be...

Yes, South Side Of The Sky and I Am Waiting were new to that leg of the tour although, upon closer examination, they seem to have dropped South Side that night. Having a live version of a Talk song...

The last potential window for an ARW /YESfeat release I can see would be a CD/DVD package of the Stone Free show at the O2 Arena in 2018.

They were playing new songs on that tour which aren't on...

I had no idea he ever used one! Are there any better quality pictures of him playing it? Or, indeed, any insight into why he chose to use it for that particular song? Thanks!

Another very enjoyable episode! Lots of information around Asia and 90125 that I didn't know about. I look forward to the side projects episode as well.

Regarding the projections:

Of all the unreleased albums that may exist somewhere in the world this is one fascinates me the most by far. In absence of any sort of release in sight, I am going to try to collate as much...

According to Henry's website:

Davison described it in a Jul 2020 interview, saying he and Sherwood "[ha]ve written a lot of music together. We've got our own side project band [...] we've got the...

Today has seen the announcement of a new band, Arc Of Life, featuring Jon Davison, Billy Sherwood, Jay Schellen, Jimmy Haun and Dave Kerzner.
The line-up as well as the fact that they are...

I think they're the same band but the first link you posted is to older demos.

I've always found Allan Jones's style of writing intolerable, painting the musicians as totally out of touch lunatics or straight up morons while he, paradigm of normality and blokeyness, tries to...

Came across these guys recently, their self titled EP is mint!!!

People of Progressive Ears... I need some help.

I have just discovered the brilliance of Hatfield And The North and am curious to find out about what kind of weird people could have come up with...

All Beat Club videos were shot on videotape, there's no question about that. That's why it can never truly superseed standard definition, unlike some of Belgian TV footage which was shot on film such...

These guys are really good and they're about to release their first album.

From A Page and what else?

There is actually a Rabin sung version of The More We Live in bootleg circles. He also sings on the finished version of "Love Conquers All" so maybe it dates from the period when they were...

Which tours would you be referring to with your last sentence?

What happened with Mike Rutherford?

Also,
Steve recently mentioned in his interview for the 40th anniversary of Defector that he and Nick Magnus are "threatening" to record Hammer In The Sand with a full orchestra. Is there any chance...

I would love to know if there's any intention of doing a tour that focuses more on his own solo material? Having most of Spectral Mornings last year was great and it would be amazing to see Defector...

Thanks for that! That was a thoroughly interesting listen and watch! Glad I was in time for my questions to get picked. In case anyone is wondering which interview that was where Chris Squire...

If it's not too late, I'd be really curious to know how many Squire / Sherwood songs had already been recorded in 1989/1990. The More We Live, Say Goodbye, Love Conquers All... and?
Also were they...

I mostly sense a vibe of jealousy and sour grapes particularly from Rutherford regarding Hackett's writing. He never misses a chance to say how he always thought his strength was "as a guitarist as...

Great!!! Finally I can own a copy of this great album.

Hi everyone! It's common knowledge than Eddie Jobson was drafted in by the remaining members of King Crimson in 1975 to overdub violin and electric piano to the Asbury Park 1974 recordings before...

He's mouthing "No fucking way" which was projected onto the wall at the 2010-2013 shows and possibly he still did it on the US + THEM tour.

Yeah that and the bootleg Yes version of We Can Fly From Here from the Drama sessions (if we're counting bootlegs)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVz_wMhXwRc

This version has a magic to it for...

For the Fly From Here suite and Life On A Film Set the Return Trip versions are definitive for me. They were originally written by Trevor and Geoff, sung by Trevor on demos and even on guide vocals...

I found the overt sentimentality cloying and the general message questionable but I was extremely happy to see the LP Black Beauty see some action again!!! When is the last time we've seen that...

Thanks, I'll give them a listen! black midi also give me a distinct KC vibe...

I found a similar poster for Astra by Asia in a second hand shop for two pounds! It hangs proudly on my wall.

This is a different interview with Stern from a few days ago with extensive Let It Be content. Maybe this is what Firth meant to post.

As some of you may have seen, Steve has been posting various video clips to YouTube in the past weeks from isolation. He has now started a series of videos talking about songs from his back...

I would have hoped that in the light of Wetton's passing, he would assemble the album with his performances on it but you never know.

I guess it's a good question whether these would really be necessary. To the best of my knowledge all of Jobson's non scoring solo work is concentrated in The Green Album and Theme Of Secrets so...

Nice job but this would have been an excellent opportunity to correct the speed issues that plague this recording. For comparison, see the officially released version of Entangled from the same show:...

The Store For Music have been reissuing out of print prog DVDs from the early 2000s for a few years now. They also did Yes Acoustic, Steve Howe's Remedy and Jon's Tour Of The Universe. They come in...

The main problem about UP to me was the track length and the general monotone aspect to the music, dynamically. I really enjoy the single edits of some of the songs as included in HIT. As for his...

If I recall correctly, he mentioned that track in reference to next year.

In the quiet words of Tony Iommi... "What can you say really?"

Hackett, no question. The current King Crimson is nothing better than a tribute act and not a very good one at that.
