It's on here in Austin starting tomorrow night, as part of the Great Performances series. It's two hours long, but since it's pledge drive time, there'll be lots of ten-minute pledge breaks interspersed throughout. Of course, the program guide mentions the hit "Knights (sic) in White Satin"...
As in an old concert, or a newer one?
It's the tour for the 50th anniversary of the album. They played the whole thing, but who knows how much PBS will show. It's on this coming Sunday on my local PBS affiliate
There's also a Tommy Emmanuel concert on the following Wednesday
Thanks for the heads up on this. I hate the pledge drives but this will be worth checking out.
Excellent! Thanks a lot.
Ok, on Thirteen (NYC area I guess) it's on Dec 21 at 9pm, and Dec 23 at 2:00am
What's so special about Austin?

I'll be watching Wednesday night here. Thanks for the info.
what is maddening with these pledge drives is that if you're a regular donator, you still have top put up with them (or at least it was that way in the 70's, 80's & 90's).... maybe nowadays with modern TV, you can escape themOriginally Posted by soundsweird
Not really interesting if a recent concert (IMHO, anyways)
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
Some U.S. public radio stations, anyway, now offer donors access to pledge-free streams online during pledge drives.
I find the pledge drives are SO disruptive and frequent that they keep me from donating. To have a whole week where you really just can't listen is too much. A pledge-drive-free stream is a good idea but wouldn't really help me in the car.
yeah, that kind of discouraged me to watch PBS at the time... Or I'd zap to other channels when it happened.

This is why God invented the DVR, gents! Record the concert and fast-forward through the pledge interruptions.

YUP! I already have it set up! Thanks, soundsweird, I may have missed this!

Not only do I not own a DVR, I still use my VCR and VHS tapes! Also, I still use my Fisher stereo system that I bought in the 1980's. If that's not enough, I use my 1980 Hitachi CRT TV which still works great.

I don't even know what a CVR is, FTM
But I'm with you, though I do have a DVD/VCR corder, I'm still mainly on VHS, and my TV (15 yo) is still cathodic (not catholic, I'm an atheist) and I just got rid of my hertz antenna a couple years ago for the TNT version

In spite of the interruptions, I thought it was an excellent show. I haven't seen the Moodies live since the late 90's, when Ray Thomas was still with them. And although Ray is missed, the rest of the band and orchestra were terrific. Best of all is that, at age 71, Justin Hayward still has a great voice.
I really enjoyed the show. If ever there was an album reflecting the progress of an acid trip, DOFP would be the one.
