Allen Wren posted:goddammit, 40 minutes is a totally acceptable length of vinyl, it shouldn't be a mini album or what the gently caress ever I'm guessing that it means it'll be only five tracks or so. "Level Five" tour EP was 45 minutes long if I remember and had only five tracks on it.

I noticed amazon quietly pushed back my Live At The Orpheum vinyl copy to early March. A little disappointed but understand that something like that takes time. I heard some cuts from that Jakko interview. I tried to abstain until I got my record, but "One More Red Nightmare" and "Sailor's Tale" were...pretty unfuckingbelievable. I was expecting shittier sound quality, but with the digital compression from the stream on my home studio monitors, sounded quite alright to me. I'm also hoping that the mastering process for vinyl will give a little bit of "sonic fairy dust" to the album (e.g. a lil' bit more compression for the vinyl pressing than the digital release)

It seems like as long as you're pretty open to ideas and not just "d00d when are we gonna learn to play SCHZOID?!?!?!111" you'll be admitted. I'd love to hear all about it when you've completed the retreat. This is INCREDIBLY nerdy but I've wanted to string another guitar in NST for years, but always stopped myself citing it would be unfair if I took a beginners' GC course.

Gianthogweed posted:How was Billy Sherwood on bass? I feel like Yes could really bring back the fire if Alan White would step up his game too. They should bring back Bruford to help him out. Bruford is out the game entirely (and apparently working on his PhD in music now...) I read something that the last time Bruford was involved with Yes at all was during demos of the "Drama" period when Alan White broke his foot before pre-production. If there's one set of tapes I'd give my left nut for...

Gianthogweed posted:Drama? 1980? I didn't even know he was involved with Yes at all back then. But if so, that wasn't his last involvement with Yes. He was still involved with Yes as late as 1993. I remember seeing him performing Roundabout with Steve Howe on Regis and Cathy Lee. They were promoting that Symphonic Music of Yes album YesEast put out (back when Yes was broken up into two East / West factions). I wonder if that album was meant to fill a contractual obligation because I think he wanted out right after the Union debacle. Ah yeah poo poo you're right, but I kinda forget about "Union" because it was literally just a cash-grab for him to fund future EarthWorks projects. They barely show him at all in the Union DVD, and even then it's just on the edge of the frame, with the most bored look imaginable on his face.

I don't think the songwriting was terrible on Heaven And Earth, I DO think Roy Thomas Baker has loving LOST IT as a mixer/producer. The other "recent" album he's been involved in was Smashing Pumpkins' "Zeitgeist" which sounds absolutely terrible.

Gimmedaroot posted:That is pretty much last year's setlist, with the exception of the addition of Easy Money, The Court of the Crimson King, and Epitaph. I saw the tour when it came to the east coast of the US last year, but I'm still in shock specifically because Fripp said (and there's video of this on the DGM youtube channel!) that if you're expecting to hear "In The Court Of The Crimson King" that you should just stay at home. He obviously did a 180 on that stance. My theory was because McDonald and Giles had writing credits that would prevent him from playing those tunes, maybe they acquiesced since then?

Well, I think the most important question to ask since they're doing "Easy Money" now is...does Jakko sing the infamous alternate second verse? I've listened to so many live gigs that it throws me when I listen to the recorded version.

I actually think the format works really well, huge nerd with casual-to-moderate fan of bands, and usually comes at it with a fresh angle. They also have quite a sense of humor about themselves other than some other reviewers who I've gotten sick of. That being said when the one guy does the King Crimson reviews where he stacks his CDs on top of each other, I have a heart attack.

Allen Wren posted:I think the sticking point back in those days was Squire, whereas now it's presumably Howe. A friend of mine asked why I bought tickets to ARW over Yes (who are playing near me on my birthday) and it was Steve Howe. I will happily see him on a solo tour or a small trio like he's done in the past, but even with Alan's replacement on drums, it was clear he was the one who was holding things back. Everyone else is just trying to follow him.
