    Too bad they can't do a live broadcast. Sounds like it'll be a good tribute.

    They are in fact working on arrangements to have the show recorded and filmed.

    I see no evidence that the "Official" tribute is being filmed.

    Well, hey, far be it from me to dare to question Carl's atruism.

    ManInTheMountain might have some inside info that he is sharing here. In that case, there might not be any internet trail for verification.

    Man In The Mountain knew Keith personally to some degree- he did the artwork in his avatar, for one thing. That's 'evidence' enough for me.

    I heard it from Mari, Keith's girlfriend, who has been organizing the show.


    Keep in mind, Mari stated it in a way that wasn't set in stone, but that they were in the process of arranging the recording.

    One thing the "Official" tribute has going for it: Rachel Flowers. She is unbelievable ... and she's blind! She maybe the only person capable of playing his complex pieces.
