Saw the Distance Over Time/SFAM tour at the sold out Le Capitole theater in Quebec on Sat.
The theater is a gorgeous vintage space with comfortable seating and great sight lines
at least from...
First Prog----1971 Jethro Tull---MSG---have ticket. $4.50
First Rock---1970 Led Zeppelin---MSG---around somewhere
R.I.P......
Combining Ramones like speed & Beatle-esque melody/harmony
With noisy garage style sensibility & clever lyrics,
Shelley created a holy trinity of the times----
A Different Kind of...
Slight variance in set list this time around for TTB show.
Sound and sight line just fine from comfortable upper stadium seats.
Days of 2 hour standing at shows is not for me anymore.
Steven's...
A couple of technical glitches were sorted out early into EVER's opener "The Darkest Hour" &

Quebec City comfortable seated venue...
"Further Away" live--What more needs...
Seating available for Boston HOB show now----4th row stadium seating----Citibank CC needed.
Yes, would have liked Sacred Sound or Harvest of Souls ( 2 Dark Matter epics)
But left Canada show not at all disappointed with the quality music IQ
brings to the table :geezer
In a rare trip across the pond, PROG legends IQ, played to what appeared to be a near sellout
crowd in Quebec City, Canada...
Playing from a set list that included songs from all albums except...
Might have something to do with legal agreement between MP & DT on playing DT music.
Or MP's desire to continue moving on focusing on NMB, TA & assorted other projects..
Another fun list. As usual the discussion will move songs up, down or out BUT
I do think that the writer has a true love and appreciation of the genre & is a solid writer.
Good job....
Mike Portnoy has scheduled a 2nd and "final date" for his Shattered Fortress show
in the USA for Sunday 9/24 at NYC's Irving Plaza.
Pre-sale code to purchase tickets is FORTRESS and on sale now....
code for me CC8---picked up row 1 mezz---second time seeing this great show !!!!
Have tried to contact Wilbur Theater by email.
I think its the venue box office selling for Wed & Thurs then it goes to ticket master.
May be wrong though , got no answer from them.
Progressive legends IQ make a rare trip across the pond to perform
at Salle Jean-Paul Tardif in beautiful Quebec City, Canada on Apr 8,2017.
This marks only the 5th time in 10 years that the group...
Quebec show no exception---another Neal Morse & crew tour de force performance !
A venue electronics issue halted the performance for a short time after the start of their
new epic concept (Neil...
Yikes----would NOT be a member of a club that would have someone like US as a member !!!
Demand a recount---Don't sully yourself with the HOF ingrates !!!
Rick, Godspeed on your recovery--would consider tix but will be in Quebec City following the 2/1 show.
Seen TA 3x live...ambitious for sure...but too many not so great lyrics and
not enough virtuoso wankfest workouts that are DTs bread & butter...
Instead of too many notes---too many words...
"A"...
Lost me a bit when his lyrics went from cryptic to sappily literal ...
BUT sounding healthy & great on new tour.
Holding onto hope for golden anniversary re-UNION tour...Happy Birthday to JON ...
Sorry but NO epics....no DT !!!!
Attended TA show last night--saw the show twice during first go round including RCMH.NYC.
Enjoyable in a Disney-esq way with a solid video presentation.
As feared the sheer amount of lyrics and...
Thinking about going to Boston show..
Would be interested to know if its worth my while..
Would be interested in seeing JA/RW again (not since 35 Anniversary tour)
Have seen editions of YES...
Picked up Quebec City...bon appetite
Went to the Haken show in Boston.
An experience to say the least.
As mentioned previously, the Thank You Scientist set didn't happen (ouch)
due to a blown transformer at venue (Brighton Music...
If Mikey says it's great....believe it !!!....hmmm Quebec or NYC ?
This is the first time since 1973 two full sides of TFTO
are being played live...(BTW-the best sides)
The primary music writer is performing it backed by a
solid group of musicians from within...
Pay NO attention to the
clips behind the cell phone screens ...
Show is the real deal for real fans..
For the MOST part YES music & most Prog is
NOT dance music BUT listening music..
Sit on your stupid fat azz and listen....
Rick-- sorry about your seat situation, when I saw that the stage was so high opted to move to loge seating to avoid looking at kneecaps from the front.
BUT wouldn't you know it in my 2nd row loge...
Went to the Drama/TFTO show in CT on Friday---and glad we did !!
Yes----the Oakdale is too big of a venue for the group at this time.
(thus the approx. 1/3 house)
Of course it doesn't help to...
Guess we can just agree to disagree
Thanks for the heads up Rick.(Awakeman)
Traded in my LOGE seats bought today and
switched to 2nd row center..
Should be a great show !!
Set list sold me..
Onward to CT show..
I take it there is an intermission in this one.
Fingers crossed on one hand:up
Cash ready in other....do it:lol

A few thoughts on the Radio City show for The Astonishing..
Of course RCMH is the go-to venue for a concert, the art-deco
jewel is immaculate and has great sightlines and flawless sound.
The...
The North American leg of DT's The Astonishing tour is fully underway.
The controversial and daring move of performing the prog-metal musical
in it's entirety is putting their dedicated following...
Another top notch show by Steven Wilson and his band at Boston's Orpheum Theater
on Friday night !
Despite being under the weather (so much so that he canceled a scheduled meet and
greet at...
First of all-DT doesn't need to prove anything to me or anyone else..
Their extensive catalog of music speaks for itself.
Brain twisting wankery--(Dance of Eternity-Beyond This Life-Metropolis)...
Ever
Dark Matter
Subterranea
The Wake
Tales From The Lush Attic
Of course cant go wrong with ANY IQ effort..
Do NOT want YES to ever be in RRHOF---that would lump them with their "peers"
Long live wankery !!!!! DT rules....anyone know that Radio City presale code ??
This just in from Mr. Howe....I wouldn't want to be in a club that would have someone like me as a member..
(thanks Groucho)----RRHOF needs to awaken, nah don't need it..
DT is one of the few bands around that can create jaw dropping, how did they do that, what just happened moments...
Yes. La Brie and some lyrics may be cheesy...blah blah blah
As Slick Ric...
Second row Mezz for Boston show----considering MTL or NYC too...cant get enough HCE
hmmmmmm.....Michael Portnoy !!!
Looks like a fun place to visit & a certainly would (if in area)..
But as far as the RRHOF & sacred band of my youth (Yes) is concerned,
Pull out the Groucho card---
I wouldn't belong to any club...
Is the "R&R Hall of Fame"---really necessary or relevant ??
However, a well run museum with artifacts does make a lot a sense.
Better than chicanery & debauchery,,,
What's PE ???
The "John/Theresa spot" this is
Not a big fan of this gibberish either....but word is they needed this extended vamp because "guest narrator" missed his que to come back and continue the story !!
Although LaBrie did his occasional and typical live over reach (maybe he can't hear himself through the maelstrom)
LIVE SCENES is an incredible performance and a desert island LIVE recording.
Review of Yes-Toto, Foxwoods 8-7-15..
Foxwoods (MGM) Theater a large plush venue probably at 80-90% capacity
with excellent and loud acoustics in the balcony...
Opening group Toto, started...
Due to unforeseen event, may have 2 tickets available for Foxwoods show on Fri-Right mezz Row E 50 per ticket.

Should be an interesting and emotional night at Foxwoods/MGM.
