hatelull posted:My brother is a huge prog nerd and Porcupine Tree is one of his favorites. I did the necessary and grabbed two tickets this morning for the Dallas show at the pre-sale. Pretty solid seats too I think, although pricey. Not really familiar with the venue and this will be a road trip for us. Should be fun though. From everything after Lightbulb Sun they toured with John Wesley on guitar and backing vocals. I don't doubt that they'll find a very good bass player to replace Colin on tour. Now, hush and enjoy the second cut from C/C: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AY148yblJdg

hatelull posted:Do you guys think they tour as a threesome or do they get a ringer to play live with them? It would suck if my (and my brother's) probably only chance to see this band live is with backtracked bass. I couldn't imagine SW using a bass backing track. I'm certain they will have a hired gun on bass on the tour, probably a second guitarist too (not John Wesley)

I like almost all of SW’s music (Blackfield just wasn’t that… good…) and he always seemed like a fairly decent bloke but the fact that it looks like he straight-up didn’t tell Colin and Wes just sours it a bit. I’ve preordered the vinyl, but I doubt I’ll go to the gigs. I saw them twice on the Anaesthetise and Incident tours and they were absolutely stellar. Very polished. I’m not sure how interested I am something that feels even more like a polished performance — I still like things to feel a bit ‘live’.

SW's been touring with Nick Beggs basically forever, yeah? Him laying down some stick over PT tracks would probably be pretty sick.

i went to the coheed show in albany on tuesday and it was, hands down, the best show i have ever been to. even compared to other coheed shows i've been to it was something special. if you even moderately like a song or two by them you really owe it to yourself to go see them live. there is no other live show on earth that has the same energy.

Rageaholic posted:I saw them in 2016 (they were touring for The Color Before the Sun) and that was a really fun show, but I wish I'd been more into them before seeing them and learned more of their songs. There were a bunch of people at that show singing along to every word with Claudio and it looked like they were having the time of their lives. I was enjoying myself too but I didn't have the familiarity with them to do that. replace 'a bunch of people' with 'drat near every single person in the crowd' in my case. it was absurd, even other coheed concerts didn't have anywhere near the extent of people singing along to literally every single song, no matter how new or how deep a cut. in between a couple songs, claudio and josh talked about how amazing the crowd was and how they couldn't really hear their own instruments over everyone singing along. it fuckin ruled and now i'm debating on whether to go see them again in july in nyc.

so I've been going through the bluray portion of the terrifyingly massive pink floyd "early years" box set and while the material that is there and available is pretty fantastic but probably the one thing I was really hoping for above all else was just a simple, clean remastering of the pompeii film the original pompeii film. not the one with the boring abbey road sequences. definitely not the one from the turn of the century that looks like 90% b-roll from the discovery channel with a bunch of NASA nonsense and senseless CGI. and, based on what was on the track listing (most notably putting the two halves of echoes - which originally bookended the film - together), it was clear we weren't exactly getting that. but I've gotten there now and it's essentially the worst of all possible worlds: it's a new edit from the director's cut elements (which are chopped to 16:9 in the laziest manner possible), with a new audio mix where I can't put my finger on what's off about it, but something is clearly off about it so it appears the bonus feature version on the director's cut dvd is still the only way to get the original pompeii film (and even then, I think the titles and end credits are newly video-toastered to eliminate the fact that the credits aren't in english oooooooo scary, though they don't do the thing the director's cut does where it completely ruins the long shots at the front and back of the film with, again, space nonsense)

yes like, it's great that the footage exists but it doesn't belong in that movie especially the conversation about apple pie and oysters that goes on for approximately thirteen years the movie came out, the dark side stuff was inserted in the rerelease a couple years later the original is just a lean, mean concert movie. one solid hour of tunes

I do really like hold your fire, and a softer piece fits that spot on the album just fine, but that particular song just...oof. I don't think it's their worst song by at least a few places, tho, and that's not even taking the coward's route and saying the worst material is on the first or third records all three of my picks for most-worst are on test for echo

hexwren posted:sorry Dog years is an A tier rush song. One of neil’s funnest drum parts, a catchy uptempo tune with a bunch of puns about dogs. Nothing wrong with it at all. Title track has some clunky lyrics but it’s otherwise a decent song. Carve Away The Stone is the weakest song on the album imo

oh no what have I done I think the Rush album I listen to the least is Presto. Once in a while Superconductor comes on the radio and I'm like, oh yeah, that album exists. Signals is probably my favourite though. I feel blessed to have been able to see them play Losing It when they came to Vancouver for the R40 tour. Their last ever Canadian show and only the fourth of five times they every played that song live.

Jon Anderson's been doing a limited tour - six dates - with the Paul Green School of Rock. I had a ticket to the first stop and happened to check his Facebook and Anderson mentioned he was making a few setlists to sell at each show. They were pretty cheap, less than the cost of the tour shirt, so I picked one up and even more cheaply stuck it in a frame with a bit of posterboard behind it. The show was fine. It's teens for the band and some vocals and Anderson was having fun with it. There were some mashups, snippets of others' songs that led into a snipped of a Yes song. Lenny Kravitz's Fly Away into Long Distance Runaround, Kashmir into Don't Kill the Whale and Lose Yourself into the Jon & Vangelis song, State of Independence. Anderson did a bit of backing vocals on Fly Away, but let the kids handle Kashmir and Lose Yourself.
