 Topic: Have You Seen Your Favorite Prog Artist Live?
Posted: February 16 2013 at 09:15 |
My favourite band is Wishbone Ash, but I wouldn't really call most of their stuff prog. However they are listed on this site (as prog related) and I have seen them many times, both as the classic lineup and both present-day bands.
As for "proper" prog, Neal Morse is my favourite prog artist currently, and I'm due to see his band for the first time next month  I did see him with Transatlantic a few years ago, and that was an amazing gig. Camel are also amongst my favourites, and I saw them a couple of times. I've also seen Genesis, though I'm not really a fan. |

My favorites are, in no particular order : Rush, Gentle Giant, Opeth, Voivod, Porcupine Tree, Pink Floyd, Yes, Genesis, etc...
I've seen ALL of them live (well if Three Friends count for Gentle Giant, that is) at least twice (except for Pink Floyd).

Do you guys think I should see Terry Riley play "In C" live? Does anybody know if his live renditions are any different from each other?

Still hoping for one more King Crimson tour, a US Gong tour, and a Camel tour!  |

I am in my late 40's and what I have seen in my whole life is Roger Waters - The Wall, Deep Purple and Rush. Yeah, three shows and that's all, but I am happy for this, and all of them were this year (2012). The Wall was an amazing show although the album is far from being my favourite. Deep Purple made my eyes watering - they were only three from the original band but Steve Morse and Don Airey were just spectacular. Unfortunatelly, Rush decided to play songs from their less interesting period (for me, no offense to others) for the most part of their show and from their ultimate album which unfortunatelly I didn't get and probably I will never get into. Veeeeery disapointing.

I envy you folks who have been able to see your favorite groups live.
As far as me and Triumvirat goes, it is not going to happen. The only member from their classic period that is still musically active that i know about is Jurgen Fritz, who has recently been a part of the Tommy Engel band in Germany. Great in itself i guess, but i am far from Germany, and Tommy Engel's sound is far from classic Triumvirat.
And their signature Guitar player/vocalist Helmut Koellen has been dead for 35 years.

Rush is my favorite band of all time, and I'm lucky that I got to see them in Columbus, OH in 2010 (Time Machine Tour) and this year (Clockwork Angels).
I saw Dream Theater this year as well, with the Crimson ProjecKt opening up for them.
I hope I can catch Spock's Beard, the Flower Kings, Echolyn, or Devin Townsend on a tour someday. This is music I NEED to see live before I get old like everyone else on here  |

I have seen:

Fates Warning
Van der Graaf Generator
Marillion
Unexpect
Riverside
Not seen:
Gentle Giant
Magma
Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso
Genesis

Most of the "not seens" are obviously quite out of reach at this time, and I am quite happy, that I have seen so many of my favourite bands.

Saw ELP with the Orchestra in NYC, and then up the same or next year in Syracuse without it. Also saw them in the 90s, and with Powell in 1987. Saw Genesis, I think it was 1981, and Gabriel, around 1980, Peter Hammill twice in NYC around that time, and Yes on the Tormato Tour. Saw UK at the Danger Money tour and King Crimson on the Discipline tour, and Fripp do a soundscapes thing at the Kitchen in NYC around 1980. I saw the Christian Vander Trio in Vancouver around 1995.
