Tired of the same songs live

Yeah darksideof stop being evil The poor kid. I only started to go and see bands in `77 and I didn`t even get to see some bands I would have liked to such as  Gentle Giant, Hawkwind , Focus ,Babe Ruth and tons of others. I `d sit through Excerpt`s from Octopus over and over if I had the chance. As for the original topic. As others have pointed out it`s not the band`s fault they have to play songs over and over. I played in a couple of cover bands and believe me I had to play stuff that I never want to even hear ever again. ever!! I`ve been to see Rush about 6 or 7 times and Neil Peart`s drum solos bore me to tears. I always find myself rolling my eyes and saying to myself :Please God not again. I`ve seen Dennis Chambers a few times with different artists and he always comes up with something different in a solo. Oh no I said something bad about Rush again Bring on the hate PMs!

I do not know where is Atavachron located, because I will see Tull on the first of June. Tickets sell for 34 € (unique price). I will pay no transaction fee, no commission since it is an 8,000 seats capacity and I anticipate, at best, half the concert hall will be filled. Last time I saw Tull in Brussels, we were 2,000 of us so it should not be a problem. And yes, I hope they will play Aqualung. And I can tell you, I'm not a Tull casual fan (I've reviewed their entire catalogue on PA).

Well like I said earlier the client hires me because they all ready knows my work ethics and apreciated my talent and styles. Also there is something call contract!! just incase they don't want to pay by saying they don't like. Also if I have the mentally that you have I problably will be working doing something else because believe it wasn't easy and still isn't easy for me to make money doing Art. However that the beauty behind it you are free to do what you want with out the fear of being a sale out or a to live for the money. Look at the master Vincent van gogh never sold an painter in his life. Now his painting worth millions and his name is in art history book ,just because money wasn't his focus in his life. Well 70's rock muisicians defently ( NOT FRIPP) these days are millionaires because their art because products and Sales ( not art) is the keys of their success. down the end They'll be thinking and laughfui all the way down to the big banks accounts.

Al told us, that every night, it's a different show, because he has something like 175 songs that he can play for us. Of course, he does not forget "Year of The Cat" or " Road to Moscow", but he likes to change from show to another.   About ELP: why seeing them three nights in a row ? I saw them in january 1993 in a small venue. It was a good show, but I did not feel to see them again the next day, even if I was a fan. ( and I am still a fan...).

say them 3 nights over a two week period in October 1992, so I didn't see them on 3 concurrent nights.

I did see VdGG on 3 concurrent nights last month and loved every second of it.

Maybe i'm an obsessive fan (or energy Vampyre as PH would say)

Siberian khatru is the only one I can think of... Starship trooper always changes, very cool!
