I just want to share this interesting photo I've found in the Greg Lake website, where according to it, we can see Roger Hodgson learning to play King Crimson's "The Court of the Crimson King" on guitar during rehearsals for the 2001 Ringo's All Starr Band tour (probably the most progressive lineup we've ever had  ). Supertramp is the band that brought me into prog, so as you may imagine, it felt really nice for me to see Hodgson playing the magic stuff from our legendary Robert Fripp. Also, it was just as nice, watching Lake playing Dougie Thomson's bass lines. As I mentioned in my introduction post, 'have been enjoying ELP's splendid stuff quite a lot, recently. Just in case you still haven't checked his amazing gallery; http://www.greglake.com/gallery_photos.html Now I invite you to post and show us any photos you judge cool and/or interesting.  ------------- Not for rent.

My friend, Curt, is one of the best concert photographers I know of. He took this photo of Steve Howe at the Yes "Solo Albums" show in the Chicago, Illinois area (15 August, 1976). This was taken during "Ritual," when Howe would play his Les Paul Jr. guitar.  ------------- I am not a Robot, I'm a FREE MAN!! |

Now that you metioned it, does anyone know what happened to this guitar? Like, did it go for auction or something? He played it in such a way it sounded like a 12-string most of the time. Probably one of the best acoustic guitar models ever built (and of course we see one of the best players too).About the Zappa photo, nice to see that model here. I believe that guitar is really popular for surf rock. And even as we see Strats most of the time, I find Rabin's model very good looking.

This guitar was built on purpose by Tony Zemaitis for Greg Lake in 1976, but reality is that Greg never really liked its sound, and one day he lost his temper and smashed it. His favourite acoustic guitar was always the Gibson J-200. For many years people kept asking him about "the heart guitar" and eventually he asked Gibson to build him a customized J-200 inspired by the Zemaitis "heart". Here we see him with both versions  This is one of the many curiosities I talk about in my book "The Musical Instruments of Progresive Rock; An Illustrated Guide" https://www.amazon.com/Musical-Instruments-Progressive-Rock/dp/8413385997" rel="nofollow - https://www.amazon.com/Musical-Instruments-Progressive-Rock/dp/8413385997 |

Another curiosity. Sony Germany released a Kansas compilation CD in 1997, called Dust in the Wind. The funny fact is that whoever was in charge of choosing a picture for the cover mistook Edgar Winter for Kerry Livgren, and put a picture of the Edgar Winter Group as the cover of the album  |

Posted By: triptych

In the sense that other good prog bands like Le Orme, Banco del Mutuo Soccorso, P.F.M. are often overrated with respect to Goblin. Simple as that :)

Simple as that?! I'm not sure I get your point.
|
Posted By: triptych
Date Posted: December 17 2020 at 02:45
My point is simple as honey & pie. Too many times prog is confused with spineless pop...especially in Italy where people still think that if you're not on FM radio all the time with silly wimpy hits (like some of the Italian prog bands I mentioned above) and/or VERY wimpy pop hits like Lady Gaga or Eros Ramazzotti, just to name two, you are considered a bad band or a band not worth listening to.

 ) |

Date Posted: December 17 2020 at 02:52
How do you know prog is confused with spineless pop in Italy? And here I thought Goblin are underrated here on PA or by people that love Italian cinema. Progheads and people that love movies and movie soundtracks are the only ones listening to them anyway. I'll try harder next time.
