I believe it's spam.

And, like, actually SPAM and not like internet spam, though it's on the internet and it's SPAM so it's technically internet spam, but I don't feel spammed.

Also, spam.

Verizon Hall has multiple levels all with good sound.

Hopefully the first level off the floor won't be as expensive....but wtf, I can't miss this.

In this clearer image you can see the band member names associated with the elements.

I'd see Fripp more as Arsenic and Lake as Lead ou Quicksilver (Mercury) elements in this Mendeleev element table

Will be amusing if the only one of those to feature any new material is the Yes show.

I find it interesting that the radio spot over on the other KC dedicated thread plays nothing of the Belew era KC. I wonder who made the decision to incude only that era (I mean, yeah, Belew is not in this line up, but he was a part of KC for many, many years) and if that means that is only what they are playing? Just a thought.

Belew said that Fripp said to him that he's out of the band because they're focusing on the '70s material.

Since we're nearing the half-way point of the year, Concerts thus-far for me:

Animals as Leaders (a few months back)
Steve Hackett 3/31
The Musical Box 7/24
YES 7/30
Queensryche 8/17

A very Proggy year so far.....a shame that Crimson are not coming even CLOSE to Atlanta.

[polmico]

The Musical Box 7/24

.

Yeah, that's the one I want to go to if I could unload the ticket I bought for the ATL show on 7.26. Just trying to keep that bear poked in every thread I can . . .

[Paulrus]

I'm in for the Friday SF show. Got 5th row center!

Total charge: $144.00

[wideopenears]

In for Friday SF show as well, but the cheap seats...Row G, lower balcony--Rapidfirerob and I will be starving ourselves of oxygen to hear the Crimsonoid menace.

He, for the first time, me, for the second.....last seen at the Pier in NYC, 3oaPP tour.....

Beyond Yes in July, I have Crimson, Hackett and Holdsworth in September, then Bryan Ferry in November!

[Kestrel]

2 shows in Chicago and 1 in Madison but 0 in Minneapolis? wtf

Right on every count. Should be an AOK concert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wideopenears]

Anyone catching the SF show Friday night, up for a Meet-up and a Beer or two? I work in the city, not far from the Warfield.....PM me if you'd like and we can pick a meeting spot. I'm open for suggestions, too....gotta catch some dinner, as well.

I've seen Yes (3 Albums tour), Crimson ProjeKct (all the Crimson I'll be getting to see this year, I expect) and Firefly Burning. Looking forward to Dylan Howe later in the year. May go see Holly Johnson...

Very confused about Madison seating. Reserved seats but they do not show a row or seat. Just that you have a reserved balcony seat or a reserved main floor section 1,2,3, or 4 seat.

I initially thought the same thing, but when I pulled the trigger and they accepted & acknowledged my order, specific seats magically appear. I'm very happy with the seats we got ($99 each thru Ticketbastard), but I started ordering online at exactly 10:00, and for not being in on the presale, I'm happy.

[NogbadTheBad]

Got mine for Boston at $89 a piece in presale, very happy with what I have to be happy with.

If they are focusing on 70s era, who is playing mellotron?
Mellotron was one of my favorite members on the 70s era.
I'm glad they are focusing on the 70s too, I thought the Belew era had run it's course.

[Obscured]

If they are focusing on 70s era, who is playing mellotron?

Adverts state "past, present & future". Fripp would play mellotron; but me thinks the sounds will be recreated by him on his guitar through his Solar Voyager or by Collins on sax/flutes etc.

[polmico]

I think the Mellotron duties could go a couple of different ways.

Fripp handles them with soundscapes is, I think, the obvious choice. Listen to something like "Thrush" during Gunn's solo, and he's basically playing the role of a Mellotron.

Real keys? A few options (besides Fripp). Jakko or Collins, flipping much like Fripp and Collins/Cross used to. Or Rieflin plays keys (which he might do if they played something like "Happy Family" anyway). How many songs are going to need three drummers?
