Easily the 2 best shows I've been two. Both very cinematic, and RC is super impressive to see the guitarist playing 3 or 4 parts at the same time

I'd always thought it would be cool to see a heavy post-rock band. Especially ones i love like the two you've mentioned.
Jaga Jazzist and Don Cab would be awesome to see too.

Many dreams came true: Pink Floyd (1989 tour), Roger Waters (2 times), Jethro Tull (several times), Omega, Kormoran, Manzarek - Krieger, Yes, Rick Wakeman, Uriah Heep, Arsenal, Keith Emerson (featuring Marc Bonilla), Santana, Asia (don't laugh please, it was a great gig in 1990), Pesnyary (unfortunately only their 30th anniversary concert, it was impossible to get tickets in the 70s), Avtograf, Dialog.

Rush!! I caught them in Toronto on the 2010 Time Machine tour and I will be seeing them again in 6 months at Toronto's Air Canada Center. I'll also probably be seeing Sigur Ros and Dream Theater this summer as well.

I couldn't even tell you who my favourite prog band is, but I've seen many bands that I love dearly live, Russian Circles, Red Sparowes and Alcest being particular highlights

Other favorites for me, other than Magma: Can - No, never, not even close. Genesis - Invisible Touch tour (in a football stadium - I needn't have bothered. I like that album but stadium shows suck) Yes - No Porcupine Tree - Yes, in 1999 at the same Prog Fest where I saw Magma. I wasn't really a big PT fan yet, though I had "Sky" and "Signify". Thinking Plague - Yes, at Prog Day in... '98 I think? Also got to meet the band. Moody Blues - twice in the 90s Earth and Fire - Uh, no. But what I wouldn't give..... Hawkwind - yes and no... I saw "Nik Turner's Hawkwind", one of the various touring versions of the group, but not the "real" one. the Residents - "Demons Dance Alone" tour. Very cool. Rush - just once, on the "Roll the Bones" tour. I'm planning to see them on this tour too. Secret Oyster - No

Some of my other fave prog artists i have not seen, either Passport Colosseum Wallenstein Dirk Steffens Dzyan Brainstorm not surprising, really, as like with Triumvirat, i did not discover them until way past their hay day, and my tastes go mainly for groups that are European, and a little off the beaten track, and i have lived my entire life in Ontario, Canada (though have visited Quebec and the US) Judging from a lot of the posts here, you guys have been really lucky! No doubt some memories to cherish

I've seen most of my favourite prog bands...................but............unfortunately I was still at school when the whole movement was in its pomp, and only got to see the later incarnations, so missed Dark Side of the Moon , Close To The Edge, Selling England, Songs From The Wood tours...and the list goes on ...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

The answer is yes and no I'm afraid. I have seen Genesis 3 times but never with PG or Hackett for that matter. I have never seen Gong but I have seen Daevid Allen with The Here and Now Band. I have seen Marillion twice, both with Fish in 1982. And I saw The Wall at Earls Court first time around.
However, I haven't seen Tangerine Dream or any Krautrock.
I have seen Talk Talk though  |

My list: Magma (3 times), Tortoise (1), GY!BE (1), Jaga Jazzist (2), The Mars Volta (1; rubbish sound, not a great experience over-all), Kayo Dot (1; another unsuccessful experience, two band members were prevented from entering the UK, it ended with Toby playing Tartar Lamb stuff), byron (6 times at least) and PT (1; only band in this list that I like more in studio than on stage). Would like to see: The Flaming Lips, Mew, Explosions In The Sky, Sigur Ros, Motorpsycho and others. Will be seeing Radiohead in October.
Too late for Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Genesis and such bands.

Tell you what, Alex, if Byron ever came over to these parts, I would drop everything to see him. Listened again to those albums I reviewed the other night, and still find them incredible. |
They could at least send you the live DVD they're releasing these days. If not, I'm gonna hunt them down and call them unprofessional.
