Finally got my holiday snaps back - let's have a look...

Is it the cast for Macho Hunks in Holland? No, it's a group of incredibly handsome prog fans!

 

There was something very interesting happening over to the right. I missed it because I was taking this snap. Olivier must have been drinking becuse he's out of focus.

A composition featuring dribbly candle, extensive beer menu and prog fans.

Erik ducked behind a candle, Martin had a handy Gentle Giant poster but poor old Joren couldn't hide fast enough. Better luck next time!

More prog profiles.

How did that get on here ?

BTW I resized some of the photos because they came out absolutely huge, so they may look a little odd.

I think we all look extremely handsome (except for that ugly Liverpudlian Magma fan).

Nice pics Martin! I'll get mine onto disc and try to post them when I can.

Oh my god guys, you all look wrecked!  Sounds like I miss a good time, I may just have to go to the next one, whenever that is!  I say Nederland again!

Merci beaucoup, monsieur Alucard, good memories from a perfect day, Europeans from the UK, France, Belgium and Holland were united by beer, weed, record shops and prog in The Hague, which city next?

I have only heard the Riverside samples, not my thing either.


Yup I heard some 20 minutes at the record shop and it didnothing for me, either


However, that Robert Wyatt live Rock Bottom that I bought at De Plaatboef on the occasion of the PA meeting is incredible! Love it!!!


Thanks for passing up on it, Olivier



Remember it was me who tipped Olivier about it!



Well played, my friend!

PF will solved that! no matter!


Thanks Erik!

Indeed this PF DVD is an absolute must have for any serious PF fan: I couldn't believe my eyes to see such a document!
Moreover, it features incredible alternative covers, far more psychedelic than studio versions.

Yes it was me, they're great.  I only have their second album though.

Go to the The Laser's Edge website and see if you can get yourself a copy from their store, it's well worth it.  I'm still on the look out for their first album actually.

Anyone know where I can get it?

The original Rock Bottom is pure genius, so I may have to invest in this Drury Lane 1974 concert, hmm...

I've been enjoying Caravan and Hatfield and The North recently too Tony.
