Oh yeah, I was there. That was such a perfect way to bust my Incident cherry, with the full album/song/suite performed right in front of my eyes and ears. In fact, that night was my introduction to prog as a genre, because I met some folks at the show who liked my DT cap and they invited me to come drink with them after the show. All these guys and girls listened to music I had never even heard of, and this is the best part, so we hotboxed their van and they introduced me to Yes, King Crimson, Marillion, Transatlantic, The Mars Volta and Supertramp. Afterward, I walked around downtown Seattle with a transient crackhead named Vlady until the train came to take me to jury duty. That was the best night of my life.

Prog as f**k
