All Hallows come and I think it will be suitable to light a candle here for all our absent friends - wonderful musicians, who created prog, played on the albums we enjoy so much and who now rehearse the new great prog, which we will be listening to in Heaven.
I think first candle should light for Mr Geoff Mann, singer, priest and poet - the frontman of sadly not existing Twelfth Night, marvellous neoprog band, who wrote the famous "Creepshow".

The first one who comes to my mind is Peter Bardens, former Camel
keyboardist and composer, who died of a cancer in 2002.

I do miss Geoff Mann. The year before his death he was doing some of his best stuff ever. The great concept album Casino, and the weirdest, most original album I ever heard, his solo album Second Chants.
Too bad Peter Bardens died.
I went to concerts of both men. Both good in their own right.
As for my contribution: I lit a candle for Pierre Moerlen.

Dick Heckstall-Smith, I played the wonderful Valentyne Suite and Colosseum Live
for your memory.

Keith Moon and John Entwistle, much more than just the rhythm
section of a huge band...

Geoff Mann and Pete Bardens are great ones. For me, I would light a candle for Freddie Mercury, especially since Mann and Bardens already have one lit for them.

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

Non-prog, but my hero: Duster Bennett - 1946 to 1976
And as Gregg Allman sings on the Allman Brothers Band's "Old Before My
Time": So hold a candle, 'til the darkness fades, the midnight moon,
shining brightly...

Not only musicians, Robert Moog passed away on 21.08.2005.
Can anybody imagine rock without his synthesizer?

And mine, and the regret I never got to see him live - btw the Complete Blue Horizon Sessions just released by Sony is an excellent record of Bennett in the late 60's. Check out Jumpin' At Shadows (Indigo Records) for some of Bennett's early 70's materials, including a few tunes backed by a King Crimson rhythm section
And as Gregg Allman sings on the Allman Brothers Band's "Old Before My Time": So hold a candle, 'til the darkness fades, the midnight moon, shining brightly...
Just been lent the Martin Scorsese's The Blues 5 CD set. And included on disc 5 is the Allmans' version of an old Duster Bennett favourite Its Man Down There - very different interpretations!

David Byron- one of rock's greatest frontmen, and perhaps definitely one of the most influential to the heavy metal genre, as nobody sounded like him before yet hundreds have sounded like him since. He died February 28th, 1985, leaving a gap in the rock world that nobody ever filled..

Ah yes, I have the Complete Blue Horizon Sessions (well, I did, then my
brother borrowed it and I'm waiting for it's return). I have
12Dbs on Vinyl too, cost me a lot of money, hehe. Ah yes, between
myself and my brother, we have the whole of the Indigo Records set...,
I don't remember the KC rhythm section..., I'll have to have another
look.
Ah yes, A Man Down There was the song that got me interested in The
Allman Brothers, as I was searching for other versions of Duster
Bennett songs and came across it.
Jumping At Shadows is one of my favourite ever tracks of all time.
