As we are unable to attend I have 3 tickets for Steven Wilson at The Royal Albert Hall for Tuesday 27th March, Circle U, Row 6, Seats 139 - 141. Selling for £30 (face value £40 with tax)

Are you sure?

I find that assumption a bit tenuous - every other reference in the refrain is to Hinduism and Hallelujah simply means praise the Lord and predates Christianity.

George was also a supporter of...

My Sweet Lord doesn't because it refers to Krishna

"Taumata-whaka-tangi-hanga-kuayuwo
tamate-aturi-pukaku-piki-maunga
horonuku-pokaiawhen-uaka-tana-tahu
mataku-atanganu-akawa-miki-tora"!

A "four of fish" refers to fourpenn'orth of fish and chips, while "finger pie" is sexual slang of the time for what might otherwise be called digital exploration:O

Think that's actually on Flat Baroque and Berserk in Roy's preamble to I Hate the White Man.

That's beautiful, "Oh the humanity!"

Did Mike Rutherford ruin Genesis:O

Didn't someone once say, "One likes to believe in the freedom of music, but glittering prizes and endless compromises shatter the illusion of integrity"?

Considering that this is a forum nominally devoted to Progressive Rock Music, there's a disturbingly misogynistic tone to parts of this discussion.

The short Spanish guitar interlude at the start of The Beatles 'Bungalow Bill';)

Nay, but seriously brethren, side one of Epsilon in Malaysian Pale as stated above and the intro to WOTS

"Tan yer bloody hide in!"

Haha...shah hoor sur!

Never actually heard that at a concert - plenty of, "Goan yirsell big man"! though

Curiosity piqued - just checked, mine is A/2 B/3. Cost me fifteen quid. Foxtrot,Genesis Live, H to He and Pawn Hearts all A/1 B/1s. Least We Can Do has +A +G and +B +G.

This is the end, beautiful friend.

Happy Birthday Andy - see you when the Snow Goose returns in the Autumn!

:up

Not sure of your point here. I was saying that I applaud artists who remain true to their art into middle and old age despite the inevitable onset of the responsibilities and distractions (and home...

Yeah, happens a lot it seems. Glad there are artists like Hackett, Eno, Bowie, Hammill who still have fire in their bellies :-)

I just don't understand how you could compose such great music and then not want to play it.

That's my feeling too about the management of a full-on reunion - soul less stadia and exorbitant ticket prices would have killed the music stone dead for me. Steve's tour is an intimate reminder of...

He played a cracking version of DOAV last night in Glasgow; no Can Utility despite one shout from the audience and, much as I love Cinema Show, I don't see Steve doing this as he used to leave the...

I was there with my son who's 17 and we both loved it. Concur with everything you said above. AFAIC this is the Genesis reunion!

Bollocks! Missed it. Wonder if it's on catch up.

Mr. & Mrs. is pure quality telly!

Anyone fancy sharing details of the programme for those currently limited in their linkyclickability? :)

Roy Harper told a story at a gig in 1985 about a festival in the 70s (Knebworth?) where GB was being particulary obnoxious and egotistical (and under the influence?) and Roy couldn't stand it any...

Careful, he'll take the hump!

Slightly revisionist I feel, seeing as how Peter Bardens co-wrote the first six classic albums with Andrew; 'has become' would have been more accurate.

Beautiful guitarist nonetheless.

Yes, sigh, mostly that seems to be the case.

Commerce wins over art.

Fripp might say you don't have to buy it but I feel it devalues the original work.

I always wonder why an album that's stood the test of time for 40 years needs anything added - gilding the lily IMHO.

Haha, yes, it ruins the afterglow!

Voyage of the Acolyte
Exposure
The Madcap Laughs
Fish Out of Water

Not a fan of ELP

That was my point.

And I used the words "somewhat rehabilitated"

From Wikipedia:
"...for most of the 20th century, "queer" was frequently used as a derogatory term for effeminate gay males who were believed to engage in receptive or passive anal/oral sex with...

Both words have been used extensively as derogatory terms in English speaking countries and to my mind rank alongside the American word 'faggot'.

Queer was reappropriated to a certain extent from...

In the film it seems like he catches it from a dead rat he finds in a river.

I have a dial phone AND a record player but I also talk about 'taping' a TV programme although there is now no tape involved.

I don't remember TV remote controls in Britain ever clicking - they...

Errm...we are all aware that many gay people nowadays find it offensive to be referred to as 'queer' or 'homo' aren't we?

Nothing wrong with a discussion of the relative merits of various bands...

I'm surprised to read that as I understood that David Gilmour was working on this song around the time of his first solo album but hadn't completed it in time. I can believe that Roger wrote the...

Ackshully, Slade are from the Wolverhampton area rather than London and their misspelled song titles are not rhyming slang, Cockney or otherwise:geezer

I'll wager my Moog that it's a synth - probably the ARP that Tony's playing throughout the track.

Never heard that tone or level of sustain from a bass guitar.

Me two.

Steve's solo at the end of The Lamia really sends me man! (ref Things People Used to Say)

Totally agree with the OP but on Phaedra I reckon Baumann's 'Sequent C' out haunts Edgar.

Had similar problems with the website as described by others but now have two actual tickets for the stalls in my hand - fast service from the Barbican. See you there!

A friend who is also on the mailing list just sent me a linky. Bit of a surprise to say the least. Anyone got any more details?

Nothing on Camel Productions as yet.

Yeah, I can see how that would be annoying; I once had to listen to the same piece by Sigur Ros for over an hour while waiting for a writer's talk at the local student's union. As a result I can...

I've a couple of Cluster albums on the label and they're both fine.

Nice review Valen, I was at the Glasgow show too and you are spot on. I got my copy of the album on Monday and had a week to familiarise myself with it which always helps I find. The musicians were...

Thanks man but I was feigning horror at the revelation rather than showing ignorance of classic cinema ;-)

[QUOTE=ItalProgRules;48202]Even if he didn't, that's funny! (I say this as a huge Broof fan)[/QUOTE

I love him too but, yes, I do know what Sinfield means though I consider it a good thing :-)

Wasn't it Pete Sinfield who once described BB's drumming as, "Spot-off"?

Agreed :up

Your friend is wrong. If there's one guitarist you can't describe as a 'noodling tinkler' then it's Steve Hackett. Just listen to his playing on Firth of Fifth for a masterclass in restraint. Every...

Just had a listen JJ88 (on my phone admittedly - MP3 ripped at 192KHz from the CD) and I think I hear what you mean - one of the 12-strings sounds out of step.

Is it maybe just a long repeat echo...

Whaaaaaaaa........?

Yeah, and Mike Rutherford could probably use another couple of polo ponies.

Meeow!
