"Aerosol" did have flute.. Chap called Jeff Peach.
"Quiet Zone" had no flutes or sax and was a fantastic album.
I will let you folk know how it went on , and also what their new songs are like.

I really don't think that VDGG would be touring if they weren't confident of putting on a great show, yes their sound will be different due to the lack of sax but that should make everything more interesting.

the main point was that I can't imagine VdGG without saxophone and flute! Its like Jethro Tull without flute... As I understood no one wil repalce Jackson.
"Banton will compensate with his keyboards"? do you realy think so???
i'm going to try to see them in Poloand, because they wont tour in my country... but thats the fact that I'm afraid of and I dont wont to be very disappointed after that:)

I have got my ticket for the Liverpool gig 
I am sure Banton will compensate with his keyboards
I saw them when they last played and they were outstanding!
I will let you know how it went on.

Exactly, perhaps Eddie Jobson or Mark Wood.
If there was a personality class with David and the other members, better to have the other 3 getting along and doing more touring/releasing recordings, than doing nothing.
I will check this site regularly to see if the are playing a vicinity nearby where I live, so I don't am able to get tickets before they sell out

sure it won't be the same, as each of them contribute something unique to their sound, the thing is, what if we have preconcieved ideas about what we WANT them to sound like, well.. it sounds almost like a request to hear your favourite reocds played live- where is the adventure in that?
just as jazz musicians can play with others and bring different magic in different configurations, who says this particular line-up won't do its own thing? shall we keep our eyes closed and ears wide open says i....

first of all, i would like to say hi to all the members and congratulate you for this great site, i just joined today and hope to contribute and receive a lot of information about this absolutely fabulous genre.
I think that the Jackson's absence is dramatic to the truly sound of VDGG...however, anyone who has the chance to go to their shows must do it! I am from Colombia, so you know...i don't have the slightest chance to see anybody...

Jaxon isn't showing up in the reunion, so what else than Hammill, Banton and Evans are we to talk off?
oh, maybe Gordon too, he's in good relations with Hammill.
but maybe the material won't be of a violin specific role.
Jaxon not rejoicing is a sad news, overall, but I myself only expect Van Der Graaf Generator to keep sounding again.

everybody knows about this... but I just can't imagine how they will look live in concerts without David Jackson as trio: Hammill, Banton and Evans. In such line-up they are going to tour in 2007, yes? do you think the performance in general wont suffer becouse of that?
