Kazza, if you're in Melbourne, are you going to either of the Tangerine Dream shows in the same week?

In Sydney, I'm afraid.

But it still saddens me to know that Yes'll be playing not far away.

Don't think I'll be able to make for the Melbourne gig on a Tuesday. Did you ever get around to bugging them into performing in Adelaide?

Hi,
 
I guess I get to see this new version of the band next month near Portland somewhere ... I was not originally looking forward to it, but what the heck, it was a present. A month later I get to go to Seattle and catch King Crimson and to me that's much more ... yeah ... yeah .... more please!!!!! Some more please!!!!!! Not enough ... some more please!!!!!!!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

I bought tickets last night to see them on July 22nd.  They were $39.50 each.  Could have bought cheaper seats on the lawn or more expensive seats closer to the stage.  Should be a good show!

Damn...I saw them here in the US in 2012 for $25.  My stepson had Groupon coupon, we were about the 15th row.  The back up band was Procol Harum.

I enjoyed the show as they played only 70s stuff and The Fly From Here suite only from that album.  Jon Davison was the singer and was flawless.

Have fun mates!!

they are probably gonna do the same thing in DC next week when i seem them with my dad with Fly From Here replaced with Heaven & Earth material (plus 2 albums in their entireties!!)

Are you going to this one, Scott?

I had the privilege of meeting Scott here at that Melbourne show, fellow Archivers!

I had no idea you recorded some footage of the show!
