I totally forgot about it. Oh well, better luck next time.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. This is Martin Turner's first US tour in about 20 years, from what I understand. I think both bands can co-exist.

I must agree. I would like to see this version.

I did get a pretty decent recording of the show though ;-)

Yeeshkul!

Just came across a recording of the BB King 9.11.04 show. Not even sure how I got it. It's not anywhere near perfect, but very listenable. Crowd was enthusiastic to say the least.

Setlist:

1. Tab
2. Dream Nebula
3. Desolation Valley/Waves
4. RTF Pt. 1
5. Cryin' In The Dark
6. King Of Twilight
7. Recycled

The problem with that 2004 tour (or at least one of the problems, because a lack of promotion was, by far, the biggest) was that they, apparently, all got sick in Boston. The story was something about the air conditioning being the culprit. Whatever it was, Roye's voice was pretty rough because of it.

I have that Boston show and saw them a few days later in Pittsburgh and he was having a rough time. They were still great.

Since the issue of Sons of Hippies, which are on the same label as Nektar's, being the opener at the Nektar/MT Wishbone Ash shows has been brought before, I'll have to ask the question: why wasn't Flash Featuring Ray Bennett and Colin Carter included in the bill since Flash are also on the same label as Nektar and have also released a new album recently? Maybe it would have been a more attractive bill having them instead of Sons of Hippies, provided the tour had the right promotion of course.

Or any, for that matter.

In case anybody is interested I saw two Nektar shows at The Traders'Den that are available to grab, they are from Sellersville & Cleveland.

Anybody have the set list for Sellersville? Klaus told me they typically had decent crowds at Sellersville. I wonder how many showed up.

Damn!

I wanted SO BADLY to hear TAB in PIttsburgh!

[bobert]

Just to let you know, the sound quality of the Sellersville show is very good. And also , Ron, Tab is an abbreviated version.

Desolation Valley is the full song though.

Does anyone have the exact setlist from THIS years BB Kings show? I saw that Good-day was played, but did they do the "Short Tab" (STab) in NYC?

Has anyone seen the post-BB King's interview with Roye? It's on their Facebook page. Seems like Chris Farley has been reincarnated. What a hoot. Poor Roye.
