Latest news is that Glass Hammer joined the cruise....! I wish they would all just have a massive touring show, like Dream Theater did with Zappa Plays Zappa, Big Elf, and Scale the Summit!

I would so be there...accept for the fact that it happens to fall smack dab into the week of the year where I am working 90-100 hours. Hmmm...don't think that the boss will mind too much....not. -------------

 and I was looking for tickets... Wonder how much it's going to be...Like going to 8 concerts and A CRUISE. That'll be spendy. ------------- Check out my FREE album: A one-man project The Distant Dynasty |

I've seen jam bands do this kind of thing, usually goes well. Hard to imagine prog in that situation, but I'm sure it'll be fun. Kinda hard not to have fun on a cruise. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

Well, Yes has had a lot of practice, playing gigs at casinos! Poor Jon Davison is going to get a hell of a workout, between duties for Yes and singing the new Glass Hammer "Perilous" material! Now, Tangerine Dream....THAT would be worth hearing on a cruise boat! Unfortunately, I don't pursue the recreational bad habits of my youth.....

Well, I took the plunge and got my reservation for this last night. When I first saw this I was not convinced it was even real. But it seems to be! One set of rooms is already sold out. What put me "over the edge" was streaming http://ultimateclassicrock.com/steve-hackett-genesis-revisited-ii-album-premiere/" rel="nofollow - Hackett's Genesis Revisited II . And while I wouldn't count any of the bands among my top favorites, they all are worthy. Plus...it's a cruise. Which I have never done before, and it just seemed silly to not take this 2-in-1 opportunity. Now to prepare, however, it seems I have a lot of albums to buy! Hadn't really considered buying Fly From Here, but I think I must.Anyone else in for it? ------------- -- Frank Swarbrick Belief is not Truth. |

Can anybody really afford to take this "Cruise to the Edge"? If I'm reading it correctly it's ten grand plus for two people. It's a great concept but will the prices kill it before it ever happens? ------------- Sam Del Russi |

  Where did you get 10 grand? I'm going, paying $2098.00 for one person.

If I was within striking distance of Florida, I'd be all over this like a cheap suit. Looks great!! -------------
