I love that Tony Levin has essentially frozen his aging in the early 90s hell I saw him with Gabriel last year and he looks identical Adrien Belew much less so... he has traded in the skullet for a baseball cap and kinda just rocks an Ernest Worrel vibe I haven't had the chance to see Fripp live yet... someday.

His moustache dye job comes and goes... Ade is in great physical shape but his hairline is ... a matter of public record. Robert is doing shows with Toyah here and there in the UK. I asked him a couple years ago if he was doing any Frippertronics and he said he preferred not being booed or losing money.

Anyone going to Haken's tour this month? I'm two weeks out from crossing them off the show list, after a decade in waiting. Setlist spoiler: Crystallised as a set 1 finisher & Visions encore is the type of poo poo that makes me feral. Can't wait.

Metal or not, I think it's a real good balance of heavy songs like The Gift and Burn Into Light and slower stuff like Old Grey Heron and Hush Hush. The new version of The Gift is also a lot faster than the earlier version which I really like.

Got tickets for Nick Mason's Set The Controls tour for my birthday. Definitely looking forward to that. The Saucerful of Secrets were the first gig I went to after the pandemic and it was great. The set list for this tour is tightly wrapped but Lee Harris has said that it's got some really deep cuts from the early Floyd. The only things we know for sure is that it doesn't have the rumoured outtakes from Dark Side of the Moon, and they won't be playing Scream Thy Last Scream or Careful With That Axe, Eugene as neither track really worked.

Careful with that axe is a great song that I haven’t listened to in years. Thanks for reminding me. As much as I hate later Pink Floyd, I freakin love early PF.

They played in an old converted theater and the oil projections and retro lighting were so cool Gary Kemp is also a surprisingly good front man. It seems like it'd be such an easy thing to accidentally fall into tribute band territory and end up being kinda sad, but it's such a pleasantly tight production. Anyone who likes early floyd should check'em out

In a few days, I'm embarking on a plane to Miami, to go on Cruise to the Edge - a prog cruise festival. I don't think I've looked forward to a holiday this much in a very, very long time. Acts of interest to me based on familiarity include Big Big Train, Riverside, Haken, Marillion, Steve Hacket, Jordan Rudess, Adrian Belew and Symphony X (only have The New Mythology Suite by them, which I like but haven't got truly into - nonetheless I'm very down for seing them). I've heard good things about Airbag and listened to a couple of Flower Kings songs before. My wife just ordered the Flower Kings' latest album, and I just bought Airbag's first. Are there any others by those two groups that people would particularly recommend I listen to before going? Any other listed acts people would recommend I not miss, and good starting points for them in terms of their catalogues? Any other good Symphony X albums? I want to get as much as I can from this trip! Line-up is here.

Would you guys say it's recommended to listen to those in their release order? I'll probably only have time for one or maybe two before the cruise in between exploring other acts.

if I had to pick an order I'd go odyssey then Divine Wings then paradise lost crib notes I'd say: -first 3 tracks of Divine Wings -Inferno, Wicked, Accolade II and The Turning off Odyssey -Set the World on Fire, Domination, and pick any of the last 5 tracks off Paradise Lost Extra credit is the song The Odyssey, all 24 minutes of it (which they played as an encore the first time I saw them in 2003) Snow Cone Capone fucked around with this message at 22:54 on Mar 2, 2024 |

I picked up two Starcastle records (self-titled and Citadel) at my local record store today, because they were dirt cheap and had really cool artwork. It's basically Yes worship but it's definitely listenable.

They played in an old converted theater and the oil projections and retro lighting were so cool https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPTUIY-Gq-8 The weird thing is that Gary Kemp could easily have been Simon le Bon. The Saucerful had its genesis in part at a wedding reception in 2014 where Nick Mason and Guy Pratt, who had subbed with the Floyd on bass since Momentary Lapse, played a jam session with le Bon and Gary Kemp. When Lee Harris of the Blockheads suggested asking Nick Mason if he'd be interested in coming out of retirement to revisit early Floyd but only pre-Dark Side - as he put it, "you're never more than five yards from someone who can play Comfortably Numb" - Pratt was the first person he ran the idea past. It was Pratt who suggested Kemp, and also former Orb keyboardist Dom Beken with whom he had worked on the Orb side project Transit Kings. (Which, incidentally, is also how Metallic Spheres by The Orb and Dave Gilmour came about.) Jedit fucked around with this message at 11:02 on Mar 3, 2024 |

Been listening to Airbag's Greatest Show on Earth and the new Flower Kings album Look At You Now. Really enjoying both; Flower Kings especially. Some really good stuff on both discs. The FKs especially are a great mix of melodic and technical. The Airbag album reminds me a bit of Pink Floyd and earlier Riverside, so that's nice.

Yeah unfortunately outside of some limited examples (the recent Haken show), sitting for a show is so anathema to my enjoyment (I don't think I used that right, but gently caress it) that I will be happily up on the lawn where I can enjoy how I want. Besides, I know the kinda folk at the C&C shows so I'll be in the pit moving and shaking. First time I ever crowdsurfed - as a large man who should not be crowdsurfing - was at a C&C club gig SPAC gets a bit of a bad rap but never for ONE consistent thing. Tight seating, lovely lawn, terrible parking, bad sound, no good shows, etc., everyone seems to have one kinda nitpicky thing with it that never gets corroborated or confirmed. I love the place, and like I mentioned, I love having the state park attached so we can chill all day before good shows. I'll be up a few weeks before this show for a Kidz Bop Friday night show (IT'S GONNA BE A RAGER) and we're already planning a cookout/hangout in the park with a few families to spend a great day.

Just starting my third day of Cruise to the Edge and holy poo poo this is the best holiday I've ever been on. A boat full of friendly prog lovers, band members just walking around, prog music everywhere and a generally chilled atmosphere. Apart from getting official photos with Adrian Belew, Big Big Train, Jordan Rudess, Martin Barre, Riverside and Steve Hackett, making friends with Big Big Train's American gig tuba player and participating in a Q&A with Adrian Belew (I asked him about his time with Zappa), I've mostly and unsurprisingly been overloading on music! So far I've seen: Day 1 Symphony X Stick Men - partial (also, Levin did not have his Chapman stick at the time as it got lost somewhere during embarkation) The Flower Kings Day 2 Wishbone Ash - partial Steve Morse Band - partial Airbag Marillion Haken Lonely Robot Thought I'd share a couple of pics.  Symphony X They rocked very hard and holy poo poo did Russell Allen sound good. Should have warned my wife how heavy they are though so she could wear earplugs. Exacerbated a bit by the gig being inside in a theatre which is the largest indoor venue on the ship but much smaller than what they would usually play. I think their second gig on the pool stage will be less overwhelming, and I will be there for it.  The Flower Kings Been slowly getting into these guys over the past year and they were enormously enjoyable to watch. They seem like fun guys and their music is an adventure.  My lovely attempt at a panoramic photo of Airbag playing the pool stage, complete with peripheral thumb. They sound like a cross between Riverside and Pink Floyd. Songs are a bit samey, but very enjoyable nonetheless.  Marillion A definite highlight so far. Just brilliant and what a charismatic performer Hogarth is.  Haken This was their second gig. First night they performed all of Fauna in the main theatre, but I missed it as I was exhausted. Second one on the pool stage was them doing previous stuff. Due to an annoying scheduling conflict I had to leave Marillion two songs before the end to catch some of this. Saw 45 mins of them, which was great, but missed them doing Cockroach King, which was annoying. They sound great live; their first gig in the theatre would have probably been a bit sonically ovewhelming but outdoors it was incredible. They finished with Visions, which was epic.  Lonely Robot Wasn't familiar with them, but a great gig in one of the smaller indoor venues, about 90 mins after the Marillion gig. A clearly-pretty-drunk-by-this-point Steve Hogarth showed up to do backing vocals on a couple of songs, including the one in the picture. I'm in heaven and don't want this to end.
