Steve Hackett Genesis Revisited in LaMirada California.

I'm going with one friend to this show, and we are really glad to hear that Steve has singer Nad Sylvan along for this tour. He has a nice Gabriel/Collins sound to his voice. Calprog contacted us for a meet and greet chance. So we're in the lottery for the after show. They say each person can get three items signed.The catch: only 60 lucky fans will win. The venue holds 1,250 and is nearly sold out.

YES

So what's the lineup these days?

<rimshot>!

I'd say thank you but I actually thought he saw Yes.

Ha! I'm like 0 for a dozen with you on connecting with our jokes....

Thought about it locally but felt it was way overpriced.

Bunch of good shit in April:
4/6 Meat Puppets - Water St, Rochester
4/8 The Engines - Hallwalls, Buffalo
4/11 Today Is The Day/KEN mode - Beachland, Cleveland
4/14 ICP Orchestra - Hallwalls
4/15 Clutch/Orange Goblin - Westcott Theater, Syracuse
4/21 Steven Wilson Band - Town Ballroom, Buffalo
4/27 Mary Halvorson / Peter Evans / Weasel Walter Trio - Hallwalls

Nothing yet in May, but Primus June 9th, free outdoor waterfront show in North Tonawanda NY.

Does the Pope shit in the woods? Yeah, Best Buy shipped it yesterday, along w/ the new Marnie Stern, and KEN mode. I haven't heard any of it online, I always prefer to hear new releases by my favorite artists for the first time on CD/vinyl on the home system. I saw them play 4-5 new songs in the last year or so. Sounded awesome live, seems to be more of a switch back to faster hard-rock mode, not so much the blues based groove-rock of the last few which I also enjoy.

a note from avey tare:

To all of the AC fans out there. I feel its best you hear it right from the horses mouth. It kills me to have to postpone all these shows and it's something I could never even have imagined happening. I'm positive that we were as excited as you all to visit all of your towns and have a good time together. But because of the strain on my voice that's being caused by an intense case of strep throat, I am unable to play any of these shows. Unfortunately, I wasn't diagnosed soon enough and haven't been able to kick this in the right amount of time. We promise you all that we are doing everything we can to reschedule all these shows asap and we will be visiting your cities. We hope you can all understand and sympathize with the situation. It's been really fun for all of us to be playing these days and the energy you all give us makes us want to take it further and further with you and give it right back. Hopefully, we can continue to do this together soon. Until then. Stay Well.

The following tour dates are postponed and will be rescheduled as soon as possible:

3/17/13 - Madison, WI @ Orpheum Theatre
3/18/13 - Minneapolis, MN @ First Avenue
3/20/13 - St. Louis, MO @ The Pageant
3/21/13 - Kansas City, MO @ Midland Theater
3/22/13 - Denver, CO @ Ogden Theatre
3/23/13 - Salt Lake City, UT @ The Depot
3/24/13 - Boise, ID @ Treefort Festival

Saw the Oz Noy Trio with Dave Weckl and Anthony Jackson a couple days ago, in Chicago. Weckl and Jackson stole the show, imo. Oz was pretty good though.

Also last week I attended the Music Institute of Chicago performing 5 pieces from Yellow Shark. Pretty fuckin' good.

Since I know none of those names you just made that up.

So this is a must see for a Yes fan RK? I Mean would it be worth the money for a non Yes fan to spend and perhaps become a Yes fan? I don't know doodly-squat about them except that Roundabout is played on the classics radio stations way to much.Say I was to pick a Yes album on youtube and listen to it all the way through,which one would you recomend I start with?
