Classic Rock (Phil Collins lives, run for the hills)

[blueparrot]

John Mitchell on guitar -he is an excellent musician but seems to be involved in everything these days.
I liked his work with It Bites and Frost.

And Arena,

Great artist. Seen Lonely Robot live.

Really sad to read of this news.
They were a great band in their time but Jack had a history tainted by tragedy. RIP and forevermore Rock Me :-(

Er, gosh!
Didn’t see this one coming…

Can’t wait for this to appear in October.

Sounds good, didn’t really like the last album.

Yes it was underwhelming @blueparrot. Milliontown then Falling Satellite's for me.
Black Light Machine remains one of my top prog tracks by anyone.

Was looking forward to this. Cheap Trick were support.

We were on Cheap Trick's guest list for Manchester and Liv*rpool gigs. Gutted. :-(

Matthew 28:5-6: "The angel said to the women, 'Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Phil, who was laid to rest after Genesis 2022.. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. '"

Phil Collins Is Alive and Thriving

The legend is in “top form” and revamping his studio since we’ve last heard from him over two years ago.

Just listened to the Jon Anderson and the band geeks. Very Yes, and very good. In fact I’d say the best Yes related album since 90125.

Very Yes but much more energy than any recent Yes album.Richie Castelano is behind The Band Geek and seems to have brought to this what he brought to BOC on The symbol remains.(I don't mean sounds like it ).

And what an album that was from BOC! While on the subject, we are going to see BOC man Joe Bouchard from the band on September 19th at The New Conti in Preston. Music and spoken word tour.

Similar tour from Steve Wynn of The Dream Syndicate the next night at Gullivers in Manchester.

Great album, didn't know about the Joe Bouchard thing,might have a look.

Apologies! It's Albert Bouchard ... no Manchester date. Preston is only 15 mis by train for us now, so easy.

Going to order mine today once I get off my arse and find my debit card.
I’ve heard True Messenger and Shine on and like both.

Yes that is a good BOC album, a genuine return to form. Mind you, I a somewhat biased when it comes to BOC.

Now that’s very high praise.

Ordered as promised. May as well hang myself out to dry but Jon Anderson is integral to Yes.
The loss is way more than the sum of its parts.

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.
