 Topic: Time Machine Prog Concerts!
Posted: October 15 2014 at 10:16 |
|
There's quite a few newer prog fans on the site, or even older fans like myself that missed the first KC concerts. If you could go back in time, what artist or band's would you like to see in concert. This can include bands with a particular line up and album tour or even at a specific venue. Who do you regret not seeing live from the past?

Where to start...? Even though I was around and old enough when the classic prog bands were touring I usually was at college or in the wrong place at the wrong time. I never saw Genesis with Gabriel, Zep in the early days, nor Floyd in the early days. I would have liked to have seen KC in the Lake period or even the Wetton era but again was always in the wrong place when they did tour. Did see them 3 times with Belew.

I would give my right arm to go back to Germany ca 1971 and catch Tangerine Dream, CAN, Amon Düül ll and Faust at the peak of their powers. Must've been intoxicating (in more than one sense).
What else? Floyd in 71 as well. Get to hear them play Embryo and Echoes...rrrrrrauw
SBB live in Sweden 75 would be fantastic too.
I can go on for a long time, so let's just leave it at that. Many more where they came from including some Japanese shows with The Taj Mahal Travellers and Far East Family Band - the latter preferably with Klaus Schulze joining in.

^This may in fact be an old post Mike, as PA has been around for ages but a lot of newer members have not.
Due to business time constrants, I missed Floyd doing The Wall in 1980. A goofy premise for a concert show, frankly, but one of those events where "you had to be there".

I wish I could go back to 1974, and see Triumvirat open for Fleetwood Mac in America. Also would have loved to see Triumvirat in America in 1975 opening for Supertramp or ELO. This was when the lineup was with Fritz, Koellen and Bathelt, the real thing!

Always. The flux capacitor is sadly out of whack though

^ Great Scott!  Anyway, I don't know where to start on the list, I wouldn't mind seeing any concert of the bands that I like, since I will probably see none of them. Presently, I regret that I didn't see Camel earlier this year.

First and most important of all, I would love to have seen Pink Floyd at the tour from the Animals album. Then, perhaps some pre Dark Side Pink Floyd too, and some from the PULSE tour. Then, other bands I'd love to have seen, Yes, on several of their presentations, like still with Bruford but already with Wakeman, then perhaps some tour from Tales, and from Relayer, and from Going for the One, and also from the Keys to Ascension and Yes Symphonic. Genesis, mainly on the Selling England tour (perhaps the Seconds Out one would be cool too). King Crimson, with the original line-up and with the Wetton line-up too (perhaps the double-trio one would have been great too). And well, so many other great bands I'd love to have seen, like Camel, Renaissance, Focus, Banco, etc.

Hi, None really. There are many things that could/should/would have been seen more and by people that really needed to see them, but it didn't happen. I keep telling my friends that some "artistic events" only come once in a lifetime, and you have to catch them. Perfect or not, you will always remember them, to your last living breath. I did not, specifically, mark this as just a rock music event, because that is a harsh limitation that folks here on this board have, but there is just as much in the world of arts, in painting, music, literature, film, and specially theater, that is so grossly ignored here, and they all connect to the music in the most subtle way possible. No one here, (almost!) can relate to Gryphon's music connected with a Shakespeare play ... and you failed to go see it. And that is just one example, as there are many more, specially in film, that is not about "entertainment" or "kissing the social buttocks", as it is about bringing the work up to date with something else ... something different. I said to many in the 70's ... you got to see Misha, before you can't. It's dance, who gives a sh*t! I said to many in the 70's ... you got to go catch some of those jazz folks and the likes of McLaughlin. Their musicianship is insane. And some of the film makers were the same thing. Everyone in California wanted to get stoned and get laid, and many of them never saw the "Rocky Horror Picture Show" live, and with a motorcycle going right through your table in the theater! Most folks here don't even KNOW, names of the folks involved in it there. I was saying in the 70's that Pink Floyd in quadraphonic sound was a must see ... and later they went to see ELP instead on the big sound. This was way before DSOTM! The movie list is endless, but everyone only remembers a top ten film like "Five Easy Pieces" that is memorable for one line, and the rest of the film is not even something that you think about. For those less adventurous, or otherwise, however the case maybe, there was always the midnight movie at your college, and it was either "Performance", or "Deep Throat" and on occasion "Behind the Green Door", though too many folks objected to the psychedelic look towards the end of the film at a time, when Sunshine, Purple Haze and other names were around, and they were clean ... and really good, but not something that mindless paranoids would ever try ... lest it trigger your fear that you can not get an erection, which was not the case! Do I want to see any other concerts? Yeah ... I would like ProgArchives folks to sit through Andres Segovia break a string and continue like nothing happened on the guitar and finish the piece, and then politely ask, if it sounded alright, and he got a standing ovation right there. It's the "magic" that makes your life ... not anything else, and most rock bands fail in this area. I miss the trees on fire at the Greek Theater ... courtesy of Lazerium ... and what it did for Tangerine Dream, but on another day, it was also done for a stinkingly cheap pop band, because the effect was cool. I think we lost it. And the time machine thing, long gone ... forgotten ... not valuable to anyone except you or I, usually looked at as some kind of geriatric idiots and hippies ... but I remember my night at the Cinerama Dome and then at the Aquarius ... and know what it meant to my history and person! We just have to make sure we catch the events of today ... because yesterday's are gone, and lost in time!
