^ I have not heard that album in full, but saw some YT clips and yea similar. I think the set list of course is different, they played 3 nights in Seattle. I heard the 1st night was 3.25 hours long so they cut it back some to 3 hours LOL

.

We enjoyed the 2nd part of the show more than first, it is more energetic and the 3 drummers were pretty loose by then.

I checked the set-list for a few nights, and it seems to be very nice, though they are changing it a bit constantly. This one seems bound to be a night to remember. I'm expecting it to be one of the best concerts I have seen.

argh! s*** the likelihood of a new TFK album before 201? is ZERO! s*** still the entire back catalogue is amazingly breathtakingly awesome IMHO. . .yes

Hmmm sadly not much active posts here that's most likely because the Flower Kings aren't active hmmm complete nothingness? mysteries? or even hummer? so there`s no point hanging around Dead

Well, I don't know if it means anything, but I recently posted a video of the studio version of Retropolis on my Facebook page, just out of nostalgia since it was the first Flower Kings song I ever heard.

Lo and behold, Roine (aka, Pale Rider) left this comment:

"anyone itching to hear songs like this live anymore ?"

Maybe this means he's thinking about getting the boys back together for some live shows (or more)? We can only hope Big smile

Wow, glad to see that this thread is still alive!

-------someone please tell him to delete this line, he looks like a noob-------

I don't have an unnatural obsession with Disney Princesses, I have a fourteen year old daughter and coping mechanisms.

Funny story, the first time I ever spun Retropolis was with a CD in my car. I didn't know that my wife had left the volume on really high the previous night.

"The Rhythm of Life" starts and I actually jumped in my seat. Top 10 coolest openings to an album ever.

I'd much rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy.

I love the last two albums to bits.

The band started out really powerful, than they lost themselves in self-indulgence and overkill.

But the latest two albums are amongst the best progrock albums ever made...

And I drive past a music venue (every week day) where little girls and women were blown to bits in the name of the so called "Religion of Peace" - and everybody mourns and lights candles and "prays" - and they just can't see the fooking ELEPHANT in the room!!!!

hmmm didn't sort of get it...well no I`ve not heard the Elephant which your saying and the childish bulls*** is to me anyway intelligent meanings......plus TFK are so upbeat

Geek, me owd china......the elephant in the room - is ISLAM!

plus...all lyrics can be subjectively interpreted - quasi-spiritual ramblings of Anderson amuse me - And the whirlwind starts off with good lyrical content....but more and more they become horribly preachy - which culminates in the final track - musically sublime -lyrically tragic.

My mother is a born-again Xtian, her best friend is an anglican (female) curate who is a nice person - but one cannot give organised (man-made) religion a free-pass because of quaint christian ladies who make tea for the homeless - it also directly causes young girls to have their heads torn off in manchester music venues. Yes we are here by time and chance.....lets enjoy the ride......Peace.
