7/4

I heard them play at the beginning of that tour at the Capitol Theater in Passaic, NJ. A much more intimate experience than I had, I'm sure! A great venue. I heard a lot of great shows there.

I take back one thing I said - I don't dislike Asia, they're actually not bad at the music they make. If I listen to their early albums as AOR rock, it's actually not bad. The disappointment only comes in when you consider (as a prog fan) what they *could* have done. Exactly. I do hear quality musicianship, but the tunes are kinda fluffy.

Money maker, I think. John Wettons pop group. We were so excited to see this supergroup play, we had tickets to hear them at the start of their first American tour. Then a week before the show, the album came out and I was kinda surprised...they were ok, but not what I expected. Last year I was going through a big Steve Howe binge and I picked up the first two albums on CD, real cheap to check out his playing. This is NOT a progrock band, I don't know when I'll ever try to listen to those CDs again. I had to refresh my memory, they were more light weight than I remember!

Yes, that's the thing that most surprised me about the obit. I thought this was unusual:

listening.

I've lived in NJ my whole life. I never "got" Springsteen or Joel. I had enough of them about 1975.

gag.

Igor Stravinsky - A Reluctant Farewell (April 7, 1971) listen here.

also.

Phil Lee bio.

nice...now, of course, I want 'em.

Me too.

I always had a bit of a time getting into NH & Hatfield. I thought maybe it's Pip Pyle. This is something I'm really noticing this time around. What ever happened to Phil Lee?

Gilgamesh - Arriving Twice I've listened to this a lot times in the last few days, great 70s Canterbury fusion. Keyboardist Alan Gowen had ties to National Health and Bruford, died in '81 from leukemia. I own the other two Gilgamesh albums, time to listen to them again!

I say dots. He looks like he's tripping when his eyes are dilated like that.

nice...I've never really checked Atomic Rooster out.

It seemed like the right thing to do at the time. I've been on a big Dave Stewart binge the last few weeks. National Health, Egg, Hatfield and the North, Bruford. Great music, I do say.

cool, I'll try the content sharing sometime. I noticed a while ago that I couldn't link to a thread from FB, I just ended up with a link to the directory to the forum instead of the relevant thread.

marathon biking or doing drugs?

what are you trying to say kid? spit it out already.

good for her.

expensive venue, but I'll try to go. should be worth it.

maybe he just makes too many films?

....aw.
