He got me to look at them in a new light! Excellent John. Mike surely has been a prog. influence here. I have NO Genesis in my vinyl collection, that is until he sent this great album along. Of course, he introduced me to Marillion and I enjoy their newest album in my Qobuz library. I have plenty of YES on a number for formats INCLUDING cassette! And like Stewman Steve, all the Starcastle albums on vinyl from their original release dates. I was thinking of hitting up some ELP next. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Me neither until that same one!! ELP is great but YES....... I just love them from the early to mid 70s. Saw them twice during the 90125? tour. In Atlanta they played a lot from Close to the Edge, Charlotte they screwed us with a medley. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Interestingly enough, i just read an article of the top 20 prog groups and marrilion was not one of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWSmith Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Yup, have a bunch of Yes vinyl and CD etc. Seen them many times over the years as well. The rare one was the 'Talk' tour. An under rated album, however, it is finally getting some recognition, always one of my favorites and PLENTY of Chris' low electronic bass pedals all over the album. LIVE, it was incredible. NEVER in all my days of live arena concerts did I ever hear low end fill a 20k seat venue like that. You could feel the hair on your forehead buzz on your face, same with your arm hair and we were half way into the arena from the stage! The huge space was supercharged/pressureized, and to this day, I don't know how they did it ! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWSmith Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Well, my NEW love is Symphonic Metal. Nightwish and Epica fan here. Nightwish performed live two nights in a row ONLINE. They were in a virtual 'world', the audio and visuals were fantastic. I paid $25 to see it, worth every bit. Floor Jansen and Simone are pretty much the two top female singers in that genre right now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWSmith Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Well my friends. That was a nice listen, and I am now ready to trail off to the rack for the evening, being up early for a painting project I am doing for my neighbor may have tired this old guy out a bit. With that, I appreciate all your likes and comment as always, and I hope to be back here again soon! Have a good evening / day. Until next time, cheers ! 🍷 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I have gotten used to the heat we are having. Hard to sleep when it is 88 degrees and fans just blow around hot air on you . New system going in on Aug. 23rd. Can't wait ! Genesis Side THREE coming right up 👍 That is comforting heat where we live in the subtropics Opposite for us - it’s hard to get used to the cold 🥶🤪 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 St Augustine, if they have anywhere big enough would be at that old, old fort or battlement. That would have to be great!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the show was at a covered amphitheatre in a park about a mile from the coast, close to an alligator farm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
