Luck/Badluck

Yes, he's a really nice guy. One of my friends told him he saw him play in UK in late 70's and so the chat started, another friend and me went to buy some beers and when we came back there were no friends and no Rihard Sinclair; one guy told use they went to his room so we started looking for them, fortunately we found a guy that played with him the day before and we asked him which was Mr. Sinclairs room and he told us; so we went to knock on his door and he opened, of course he had no idea who we were but then one of my friends who was in the room told him we came with them, so he allowed us to get inside; we offered him a beer and accepted and we spend some time there, listening the answers he gave to my friend and watching he play just some chords on his guitar; we stayed there for less than an hour but was a nice experience.

When we were already out of his room, i realized i didn't ask him an autograph! But on of my friends took some pics.

Yes, i saw them in the Baja Prog Festival in 2004, where also played Richard Sinclair, Anekdoten, Clearlight, KBB, Softworks, Arti e Mestieri, IQ and a bunch of latin amerrican prog bands.

The best experience (apart from the concerts itself) was to spend some time with Mr. Sinclair, drinking some beers in his own hotel room.

You saw Deus Ex Machina! I'm very jealous! Good for you.

Lucky:  Genesis Knebworth 78 Had to keep on and on at mum and dad for ages before they would let me go. Unlucky :  Genesis Mama tour I hated it!

Absolutely lucky and privileged - Gabriel & Genesis at the WOMAD (Six of the Best) reunion gig in Milton Keynes in 1982. It chucked it down all day, but was magical. I really wish I could get hold of a recording.

Unlucky - King Crimson who announced a London gig which coincided with my work exams. I've still yet to see them.

Lucky: seeing B.B.King, Herbie Hancock and Opeth/Cynic (on my 18th birthday, no day will ever top that)
Unlucky: turning down PT tickets for 09/12 and not sticking around to see Rage Against The Machine when they played at a Portsmouth Open Air Festival

Last week I was lucky enough to see Secret Chiefs 3 playing Xaphan with Fred Frith. Probably one of the best shows I ever ettended. Another lucky moment was when I saw Return to Forever in his 2008 tour for free. That was really very good luck! Anyway, I feel proud to have been in many good concerts

Bad luck: I was born too late to see many of the classics (the list would be too long: John Coltrane, Mahavishnu Orchestra, The Doors, Cream, Sun Ra... too many artists)
