I've just played the new JA&BGs album for the first time, wasnn't giving it undivided attention, but it sounds good.Agreed.
My most recent memory of him (to this point anyway) was seeing him with Wakeman and Rabin at the Apollo, and it was superb stuff.
Let us know on here how you find the album; be very interested to find out your review.
Well, if they made it known they were playing that kind of repertoire, I’d certainly be very interested :-)I've just played the new JA&BGs album for the first time, wasnn't giving it undivided attention, but it sounds good.
Jon's voice is mixed high and sounds remarkably good for his age. The music is very Yes-like.
It does rather emphasise the importance of Jon's voice to Yes and, yes, he is more than just a fifth of the sound.
Would love to see him do one more tour with Wakeman and Rabin; perhaps with Ritchie Castellano on bass (dream would be Geddy Lee) - get Portnoy on drums and you could have a Prog Rock supergroup for the ages. Play a few Rush tacks alongside the Yes stuff and I reckon you could fill some arenas.
Have you heard the new song? Its hideous.Good to see Linkin Park in the fold after the terrible death of Chester Bennington.
New female singer Emily Armstrong and album “From Zero” due in November.
I haven’t yet. I know there’s been a bit of a backlash though.Have you heard the new song? Its hideous.
Thought about buying somehting by Transatlantic but never taken the plunge.Well, if they made it known they were playing that kind of repertoire, I’d certainly be very interested :-)
Talking of supergroups, I have toyed with the idea of going to see Transatlantic but never did (so far). I’ve got the album Live in America which I did enjoy though found it a bit uneven.
Re Jon, thanks for posting, gonna follow up on this I think.
They are very good,but do go on a bit, think one or two albums are plenty.Thought about buying somehting by Transatlantic but never taken the plunge.
