This may not count but ... :

So, I'm in "Best Buy", looking at PF catalogue. Not too far is a couple of spots for stuff by Katy Perry. One of those spots was fronted with PF's "Animals". I was gonna fix that, but then I thought: "... screw this. Let the pig keep flying there for a while". I thought that was a bit funny.

Not a place where a public usually hangs out in, but certainly a place the public uses - an oil drum.

Found this:


 ... in an oil drum with paper and plastic filters and old grease. How prog is that? Big smile

Here is more: Bill Bruford's potential rival.

Reminds me of the time my buddy and I put Captain Beefheart in the best seller shelf at Barnes and Noble.

LOL Honestly, I would totally fall for it if it was at a best-seller shelf. LOL ... well, granted that I lack quite an amount of historical knowledge about the guy.

One year, during homecoming dinner in high school, someone played "Moving Pictures" in its entirety over the speakers in Undos. This was before Rush was fashionable like they are now.

Pretty much the same thing happened to me. Maybe a year or so ago I heard "Sylvia" by Focus in the grocery store(the one I was in is called Giant). Maybe the same company pumps the same music into all of these grocery stores. Who knows? Wink I also heard "the wizard" by Uriah Heep which also took me by surprise. Other than that I've heard "still you turn me on" by ELP but that's not too much of a surprise. Not much else. Once I heard a somewhat obscure song by David Gilmour in a drug store. It was something from his second solo album but it wasn't "murder."

I have worked with people in the past who have known about "Gong,""PFM", "Camel" and King Crimson. Not the same people though.

Closest thing to prog that I've heard in public places is The Show Must Go On by Queen about 3 months ago in a store.

I've heard I've Seen All Good People in a number of places.  Seems to be a popular unpopular one, haha.

The most surprising public prog I've heard was at a free community concert at a park in Washington D.C. exactly a week ago (7/16).  Apparently they have these free concerts at this park every Monday in the summertime.  This ~50 year old couple (man on guitar, woman on keyboards.  Also just assuming they're a couple) called themselves Cigarbox Planetarium (also have a Facebook page, I've found) and played a few minutes from The Gates of Delirium by Yes.  They did that part right before the part of the song the call "Soon".  For those listening at home, that's about 13:00 - 15:00.  It was a really badass rendition.  Very relaxed and free feeling because they didn't have percussion or bass, they could just work in very rubato time.

Well, apparently Mike Oldfield played Tubular Bells at the opening ceremony of the Olympic games. I mean, that's in front of millions, maybe even billions of home viewers and thousands within the stadium. Those people in the stadium were definitely in for a treat. Thumbs Up

Once I was in a bar and the owner put into the speakers a cd/tape with some Tull, Le Orme and PFM. Unfortunatly that was an isolated case.
