Joe Ellliot use to drink in my local. Use to talk to him about his favourite bands as one does. He was really into Mott The Hoople. Not prog but just thought I'd share it!

Being an avid autograph collector [yes, i was one of those sad people who use to hang around the stage door after the show] I have met many a prog giant!
The most amenable and freindly were:
- Greg Lake
- Carl Palmer
- Steve Hackett
- John Wetton
- Geoffry Downes
- Rick Wakeman
- Neal Morse
- Steve Howe
- Alan White
- Bill Bruford
- Cozy Powell
And the not so freindly ones
- Phil Collins
- Jon Anderson
- Ritchie Blackmore

I was around 20 meters away from Jean-Michel Jarre when he performed his concert in Gdansk last year.

I've met the guy that founded the Official Harmonium site, and used to run it untill he resigned a few years ago.
I sat close to very back of teh CNE Stadium, when Pink Floyd came to
Toronto in 94. But I could barely see them, even with binoculars.

Shook hands with Ray Weston of Echolyn after a great concert of them. Was on a photo with Vinnie Kavanaugh of Anathema because my girlfriend Antennas thinks they are the best band that ever were and she managed to get us together on this photo .

I have been, I dunno, 20 feet away from Robert Fripp during a 2003 King
Crimson concert at the Fox Theatre in Detroit. I thought it was a heavy
contrast how Adrian Belew had about 50 lights on him and Robert had a
little work light on him while he made guitar magic. All the more to suit his
reclusive nature, I guess. That was a concert which I will not forget! 
No autographs, though....I wasn't able to meet them, either...
