I'm probably going to see them with my friend at Buffalo in late June. It's not too far from Toronto, maybe roughly an hour; though, we have to cross the border into the states. My friend saw them play at a local venue about 4 years ago just after David left the band. Pawn Hearts and Godbluff were the majority of the setlist, he recalled, so hopefully it's like that this time. I assume they'll play some more recent material too and maybe even some stuff off the new album as well. This is going to be absolutely amazing!

Wish they came to Prague. They were here last year (for the first and probably the last time) but I didn't know them that time. Go and njoy the concerts instead of me !!

^Undercover Man, Lemmings, Childlike Faith & Still Life were there in 2009. Mindblowing stuff. Yeah, hope they're still in the set list. ------------- |

Don't rush out after the show. NewEars often gets the musicians to stay for an autograph signing session. ------------- Trust me. I know what I'm doing. |

They did a rare performance of La Rossa for an encore in Chicago in '09 (it was FANTASTIC!!) and Man Erg is almost always played. ------------- jc |

Scorched Earth Your Time Starts Now Flight Lifetime Bunsho Mr Sands Over the Hill Childlike Faith in Childhood's End Refugees (encore) ... they played one or two more, but I didn't recognize them. Nothing from the classic era. Peter's voice was in fine form and the band rocked the house. ------------- Continue the prog discussion here: http://zombyprog.proboards.com/index.cgi ... |

| ok i'm slow this morning...did they do the entire 20 minute Flight piece? (if so, hope they do it at the Regent...wow...) |
Posted By: Zombywoof
Date Posted: June 23 2012 at 15:37
Yes, they did and it was incredible!! They played for a little under 2 hour's I'd say. Refugees was a special for NF only thing, so I don't know if they will play it anymore. ------------- Continue the prog discussion here: http://zombyprog.proboards.com/index.cgi ... |

Zombywoof, how did they go over with the NF crowd (undoubtedly there were many VdGG fans, but probably a portion who were neutral as well). Good reception? ------------- jc |

Very much so. Plenty of standing ovations. They were absolutely wonderful! ------------- Continue the prog discussion here: http://zombyprog.proboards.com/index.cgi ... |

VDGG were probably my first prog show back in 2009. It was great :D . Saw them in Nokia Theatre in NYC. I actually won this raffle thing for the first time in my life and got VIP seats, which just meant I sat in a balcony close to stage it was awesome. ------------- There be dragons |
