Here are my favourite tracks in "into the great nothing".

1:50 - 7:09


And the most beautiful part is: 7:09 - 7:53

9:26 - 11:50


I wish Spock's beard just kept making songs with these beautiful moments instead of putting in all that useless filler. 

There was a sequence that was just broken by all that useless filler in my opinion.

The Kindness Of Strangers is mine although I like the Dreamless Sleep one as well. Noise Floor is okay. Good to have Nick back.

Yeah but I think he's only back to drum. I don't think he's involved in any of the song writing. Don't get me wrong, I'll take it but I'd like to see him back as a more inclusive member of the band, like he was before he left.

He has full time commitments with BBT. I think he's just filling in on the drums with SB until they find a more permanent replacement.

What was so bad about Jimmy Keegan ??
SB music is full of great, life affirming moments. I listen to them a lot to counter-balance the darkness in my life ha ha.

Yeah, beware of darkness. Wink

Nothing was bad about Jimmy. He left the band for "personal reasons."

Bennett Built A Time Machine is my favorite SB track which is a little weird as I am a complete and total Neal Morse freak. What a song!!! That John Boegehold can sure write a tune and Jimmy's vocals rule.

Many of the Boegehold songs are among my favorites from the post-Morse records.

LOL I'd never heard of him but apparently he's been involved with SB, in various ways, since almost the beginning.

Sorry for posting in a semi-related thread but it seems like this is the only Spock's Beard Appreciation topic on this forum that hasn't been killed off by the almighty padlock yet.

I've noticed the 2008 live version of Crack the Big Sky (Nick on lead vox) is in a a semitone higher key than the 1999 studio version (Neal on lead vox)! That's like 9 years. Very rarely do you see bands raise the key of a song for the live performances after such a time. Usually it's the other way around.

Perhaps they changed it to an easier key to play in, and Nick could handle it (considering he can sing higher than Neal).

Yeah. But it's still a quite acrobatic and risky move! I was impressed. In 2008 they had the tools to precisely tune down their instruments and transpose all the digital keyboards so that they would play in the comfortable key and still have the audio be the same as the original or lower.

Also part of Pattern Seeking Animals, along with Ted Leonard, Jimmy Keegan and Dave Meros. Check them out if you haven't already.

I've tried them on three or four separate occasions and they just don't click with me. It probably doesn't help that I don't care for Ted Leonard but I think it comes down to the fact that those things I really like about Boegehold's compositions in SB are missing in Pattern... I get it that they are going for something different but it just doesn't work for me.

Favorite Pieces of Spock's Beard...

I just got a hilarious visual of corn, bread crumbs and bits of meat lodged in Spock's beard.
