If you just think they can at least some point replace that you haven´t got possibility to be there.   Yeah unfortunately flying all the way to Finland and back is not fitting in my budget at the moment. I'll have to just check the clips from the show on youtube(hope they'll be some good ones). And hope you both have a good time at those shows.

Just came information about the concert, that any recording or filming from the audience is not allowed. But I believe there will be anyway something. They´re today also in Helsinki, so there can be something in YouTube already today...

Not exactly, just the misundertanding. Or whatever. Perhaps would have been more apropriate.

^ Yeah, Focus. It seems someone postes between my post and yours, otherwise I would have quoted instead.

Those instrumental parts already take you into very high atmosphere, but in that vocal part it rises even higher level with Jukka & Jim singing together (it´s the only studio piece where they sing together) in a very great way a great melody!   Actually "Losing Hold" is the only song where these three great composers worked together. Story tells Pekka had made those instrumental parts, but he thought something missing, so he asked Jukka to do something into the song. Jukka added that vocal part and thought when they were working together that he would ask Jim to make lyrics. Jim did them and then they also sang it together! I think this is the greatest Wigwam song and really would like to imagine what would have happened if they had worked more together, but I quess it just couldn´t ever been possible. What I have read they were all quite individualists and really had a strong view how they wanted their songs to sounded like.   But when you liked those Pekka-made instrumental parts, you should listen this song from the same album (as one can think about the song name, it´s higly influenced By Zappa´s Hot Rats-album): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsT2vYkBPIc

 

^ Actually, I didn't know why you had stopped writing, I only noticed it. As for Unreal City... yeah, I had forgotten they seemed to theme their albums after some sort of horror stories, as far as I can understand (since I don't know italian, just some words that seem similar to spanish words). And about Nightwish, well, I already have the tickets, and they are one of the favourite bands of my wife (and I do like them, besides, they have a great singer now, unlike the previous time we got to see them), so, it's not really an option to quit that concert. About the festival, I'll have to check out with the guy that organizes the trip, he seems bound to do a trip to the festival too, and he may help the organizers of the festival to sell tickets in my city, so I might just as well make up my mind while we go to the Nightwish one. Oh yeah, and it's 4 hour trip to get there, and them back here, at about 11 or 12 in the night, after the show is done.

YESESIS wrote: Yeah Caravan is definitely one of my favorite bands(of any genre), and actually I was listening to Nuclear Nightclub(didn't see the full album of hard n horny anywhere on youtube) and it sounded kinda like Cunning Stunts or Blind Dog at St. Dunstans. Good stuff. Also I was listened to one those bands that our friend Dellinger recommended, Ekos, and that was actually surprisingly good.  So these could be two new bands for me. Thanks guys. :)

It's good you liked Ekos. They have only got 2 albums so far, but I hope they'll be doing more great music. Actually, if I make up my mind, I might end up watching them in a bit over a month now. There will be a festival with them on board, but I haven't bought tickets yet... it's about 4 hours drive from where I live, but most concerts I am interested in I have to go there (Mexico City). I'm going to see Nightwish in a few weeks, and I haven't made up my mind to make the trip again so soon... but it sure would be worth it. There's these Ekos guys playing there, plus some italian new guys too, Unreal City, who are great too (perhaps you should check them too, their 3 albums so far are also wonderful), and there's also Focus, whom I do love too, and Le Orme, one of the italian classics (though I have no idea how many of the originals are still playing).
