In Martin's defence, Kim Wilde's backing band on "Kids In America" was The Enid... ...and in the name-drop game, The Enid is a band I have seen an awful lot both back in the 70s and in more recent times. Most notable being the "Over The Rainbow" gig at the, erm, Rainbow and the Hammersmith Odean gig that was so magnificently preserved on video and album.

that's the one for me as well! I might also mention that I saw Talk Talk supporting Duran Duran, but sadly this was in their electro-pop days before "Spirit of Eden" (which I suspect wouldn't have gone down well with the DD crowd anyway).

Couldn't read the opening blog because of the Gabriel ticket stub plastered over it. Thanks. I bring up two (if I have this thread's intention correctly): Jethro Tull performing A Passion Play at the San Diego Sports Arena in '73 and Crimso' performing Discipline in '81 at the University of California San Diego's Mandeville Gym. Both grand shows. Getting back to Gabriel, my friends and I nearly ran for the parking lot at the last couple of shows we attended back in the early '80s; we'd become both tired and jaded of his prancing about the stage and Biko-as-encore routines.

I usually mention that I've seen EL Powell, and Three (EP Berry) but never ELP straight up.
In recent years, seeing Spock's Beard at 3RP in like 2008 with Neal Morse singing on 'The Light' was one of my coolest moments, also seeing IQ on this side of the pond was a highlight.

If dr whu can edit his post to remove the offending Gabriel ticket image then Page 1 of this thread will be readable again.

Hi, Magma - SF Progressive Music Festival 1999 Gong Tour with Pierre Moerlin in 1997 I think (Roseland Theater Portland) YES - Tales of Topographic Oceans - Long Beach Arena (have to check dates) Pink Floyd - Hollywood Bowl 1972 in Quadraphonic madness! Tangerine Dream - Live in America (where the album was taken) at the Greek Observatory with Lazerium firing up the trees. Pictures on the album MAN - Space 1999 tour with Hawkwind. Even with a new lineup, Mickey and Deke were outstanding! King Crimson 2015 in Seattle Return to Forever 2013 in Eugene, OR I have no complaints ... seen a lot of very good ones. Only would likes would have been VdGG, Vangelis and Mike Oldfield. |

Too many:
Pink Floyd, Los Angeles Sports Arena, 1975. Enthusiastic radio guy backstage with the Floyd for the first time. Roger Waters gave me a glass of white wine. Nick Mason happy to talk about Principal Edwards and Robert Wyatt. Rick Wright, a true gentleman. A great show, with the original versions of Animals and Wish You Were Here, not to be released in the order we heard them. Saw two nights, even with the LAPD doing that THX 1138 thing.

Not strictly Prog. Led Zeppelin in Fort Worth, Texas in 1977. I managed to get two tickets from someone after the show was rescheduled. Could never have gone otherwise. Who could know that it would turn out to be their last time here? RIP John Bonham.
On a happier note, and very much Prog, was Yes at Bee Caves (Austin), Texas in 2002. They were in top form that night. A show to remember. |

If you were in Chicago for any of these, we were probably in the same venue! Nice list!

Thin Lizzy (Jailbreak tour) & Queen, October 1976 (A Day at the Races tour). Peter Gabriel with about 300 people in Nancy, France, November 1978 (second album tour). Andres Segovia (at age 87) with about 200 other people in Norwich, Norfolk, England, December 1980. Stunning! Buddy Guy and Luther Allison in 1981 (separate concerts) in a bar (same bar) in Madison, Wisconsin. U2 in a bar with about 400 people in September, 1981 in East Lansing, Michigan (October tour). |

Ah yes, forgot that one. It was great at the time (including Lake's strop) but the CD of the show isn't good.
