umm no. While in Germany, it is a better bet that I would listen to the Scorpions or maybe Saga, although a Canadian band, they are far more popular in Germany than they are in North America. I'm also probably going to skip France on this visit.

You're right. Did you see the dates for Saga's "world" tour? About 3 dates in North America, a few dotted around the rest of Europe and then about 165 gigs in Germany!!!!

I did see the dates. Last December they actually played some of the final shows with Michael Sadler in Ontario, Canada. I seriously considered going, since they would have only been a couple of hours away, but I got busy and kind of forgot until it was too late. That and the whole issue of crossing the border into Canada and the possibility of the US not letting me back in. After all, my name appears to show up on all of the "pull aside and test" lists at the US airports, they are probably looking for me at the borders too.

???????? are you serious??

...are you an illegal immigrant to be scared of the US not letting you back?

.I am sure you're a good tax paying citizen this country can be proud of!

I have crossed the canadian border and back many times lately..never more than 5-10 mns wait at the most!!!also if the concert is 2 hours away, don't need an airport anyway...you just have this big bridge in front of your house to cross!

^ It might be my beady eyes that would prevent them from letting me back in the country. That, and THE MAN trying to eradicate the listening of progressive rock music in this country. I'd be one less that they'd have to deal with.

...never seen this album!

and the new avatar? is it you talking to a wolf in the NorthWest territories in winter??

It's actually a vinyl collection of their first 3 albums. just thought I'd crack it open to get to Caress of Steel. The Fly By Night I listened to this morning is in the package, but I used my dad's old copy instead. I have 3 copies of Fly by Night Big smile

.

The Avatar? Anyone who tells me where it's from gets hugs and hugs and hugs Wink

A shout out to, and a first listen of some Michigan prog:

This is a one-man project by Bradley Styes. I purchased this at the Discipline/Matthew Parmenter/Ryan Parmenter gig on Sunday. According to Matthew Parmenter, Bradley was there helping them out at the door. Also, track 5 Cul-de-Sacs of Venus includes Matthew Parmenter playing violin.

I should also mention that E-Dub should track this down if he doesn't have it. If nothing else, so that he can play track 4 titled "Milwaukee" for his out-laws. It clocks in at 22 minutes, but it is kind of on the metallish side, and although he is not mentioned it seems to be about Jeffrey Dahmer.

And if that piqued anybody's interest, samples can be heard on CDBaby here. http://cdbaby.com/cd/acuity

On me, to my friend, the Working Man: Watneys Red Barrel, Beer mat, 1960s

Jared, I haven't heard that one yet. I hear that it is more thrashy though. Is that correct?
