If a genie from a lamp (most likely a lava lamp) granted you ONE wish related to prog artists or prog music, what would it be? And it could be whatever you want, but remember, you only have one wish. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the U. S.

My bassist is a girl and she is WAY into prog. More than any girl I've ever known. She loves Cardiacs and Spawn of Possession and Gorod and The Mars Volta and Arcturus and many many others. But my prog wish would be to open up for The Mars Volta for a world tour. ------------- http://pseudosentai.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow - http://pseudosentai.bandcamp.com/ wtf |

Yeah first wish would be classic Genesis doing The Lamb and Supper's Ready among other songs--- Second would be to see the two best Yes line-ups CTTE and Relayer guys tour together--2 drummers--2 keys along with Anderson, Howe, Squire. But think the genie bottle would explode in my hands while rubbing it to get that wish!

To see Magma in their 1973-74 lineup with Jannick Top. I don't think the live documents could fully capture the entire live sound of that era, seeing it for itself must've been truly awe inspiring.

Ditto I suppose. I've seen my heroes live, have even met a few in person. I've done sound in some of the best sounding rooms in the country. What's really left? Ok, if I did had "one" wish it would probably be to do sound for ELP on the Welcome Back tour, and maybe for Peter Gabriel on the Plays Live tour. Oh and for Yes on the Going For The One tour...all right... for any of them on any of their tours...who the hell am I trying to kid.  ------------- Thank you for supporting independently produced music |

One of my wishes really did come true. I once wished that Magma would reform so I could see them perform "Kohntarkosz" and "MDK" live, and then go back in the studio and record some of those old pieces they never got around to recording (or never had the budget to record). And then it happened, in that exact order. Other vague wishes going thru my head: A virtual reality helmet that can recreate the experience of seeing [band] in [year] at [venue] while doing [drug]. Cartridges available at your local Wal-Mart. And on a more serious note, I wish Pink Floyd had not fractured the way they did, and that Waters, Mason, Wright and Gilmour had continued to innovate and top themselves well into the 80s and 90s, with creative masterpieces that make Dark Side sound like the Shaggs. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

I wish for a complete set of pristine quality films and recordings of every Pink Floyd rehearsal, jam session, radio session, soundcheck, live gig and TV appearance that they ever did. No such thing exists, of course, but this is my wish. Thankyou, O Genie! If this is too much, just give me the first ten or fifteen years. ------------- rotten hound of the burnie crew |

hmmmm..... funny because I enjoy good naturely picking on the group and its fans almost as much as Genesis/Camel. that Rush had started 4 or 5 years earlier and had a longer traditional prog rock period ala the 1st gen prog rockers before they went the way of arena AOR rock and limp dick 80's synth rock. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

interesting.. and an interesting discussion potentially to be had there. Everyone agrees it is a different world today than it was then, question is.. is that for the better or the worse. For the bands, for us the fans - the audience, for the music itself.

I have a few wishes (though they aren't all prog): To have been at Shea Stadium for The Beatles' concert there. To have attended a Doors concert. To have seen Tull perform A Passion Play live. To have been present at a Santana concert on the Moonflower tour. To be present at a Magma event at which they play the Theusz Hamtaahk Trilogy. To have been present at a Jam concert. To have a week to shadow Francesco Zago. To be Ryuichi Sakamoto's valet, personal secretary, or best friend. To hang out with Carlos Playa and the Kotebel crew for a month. ------------- Drew Fisher https://progisaliveandwell.blogspot.com/ |

At first I was gonna go with seeing Rush on the Fly by Night
tour.....hearing all the songs on the first two albums in their youthful
prime.....oh mama that would be killer. Then I thought, watching the
Topographic Oceans sessions would be cool....but Jon probably wouldn't
let anyone smoke (this is fantasy, so naturally I'd want to smoke in my
rock fantasy). But I think I"m gonna say instead: Being in the studio for the recording of Piper. It would have been so interesting to watch a reasonably healthy Syd in a creative phase with the other guys, and see them working with Norman Smith. As a bonus, one could have walked down the hallway and peaked in on "that other band" recording Sgt Pepper.  ------------- |

The two bootlegs I had from this band were concerts in 1969 and they were not very good, and it was after the major line up changes. The only bootlegs and DVD you want is from the recent tour ... absolutely the best thing I have seen in almost 35 years!
I really do not look back and with anything ... except that all the artists we love live a very long and fruitful life and love! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told! www.pedrosena.com |

How powerful is this Genie? Accomplishable: That the Lamb would be turned into a cinematic experience a la The Wall movie, with Genesis reformed to accompany it.

To see Vangelis play live with orchestra and choir plus appropriate supporting musicians . It would have to be an all day concert with large chunks of his best albums as well his collaborative efforts with Jon Anderson and Irene Papas ( they would need to be there as well!). I would have Ridley Scott and Harrison Ford in attendance perhaps giving a speech (or readings from the script) for Blade Runner with a giant screen showing images of the film. It can be outdoors or indoors but the weather must be perfect. I also get to meet and shake the hand of the great man himself at the end.

For me it would be the return of NEARfest, even on a slightly smaller scale. The three editions we attended were such wonderful experiences, both from a musical point of view and in terms of human relationships. I am sure that our friend HT (aka Bhikkhu) would agree with me, as we finally got to meet in person at our first NEARfest, in June 2009. |
