Hello to all of you out there in Prog Land 8-)

I am very pleased to announce the broadcast of my fourth session here at Stellar Attraction which will begin this coming Friday at 9pm GMT and will also be replayed throughout the course of the following week. ;D

Here is the full schedule

Friday 15th Sep @ 9:00pm (GMT)

Sunday 17th Sep @ 6:00pm (GMT)

Monday 18th Sep @ 3:00pm (GMT)

Wednesday 20th Sep @ 2:00am (GMT)

Thursday 21st Sep @ 11:00am (GMT)

Over the course of the session you will be able to hear the entire third album by Gazpacho, an excellent 'new' band from Norway. The album is entitled 'Firebird' and if you like what you hear it is available (along with their first two releases) here: http://www.marillion.com/racket/albums/gazpacho.htm

Also in there somewhere is a 1974 concert by Yes from their Topographic Oceans tour. Although this is an audience recording the quality is still very good.

As I'm typing this I am now struggling to remember what else is included  as it was a little while ago when it was compiled so it's gonna be a surprise for me as well!

Oh yes, just remembered, there is a Genesis show from 1977, also a good audience recording.

Well I hope you all enjoy the session and thanks once again to the Progmaster for allowing me to indulge myself again.

Cheers [smiley=beer.gif]

Here's in anticipation to what is an excellent session ... Trust me people !! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Apart from it clocking-in at a little over 12 HOURS, it's simply an excellent choice of tracks.

[smiley=DJ.gif]

Enjoy.

Dee

Having seen the track listing, it's definitely a 'Jane Eyre Friendly' session ... A certain group you've been nagging to hear for ages happens to feature ... ;)

-Hm

Exiting news!

I wont be here for the first session, but, looking foward to listen to it later on the next week !

David;

Good luck with the session and I will have to settle for listening to the replay, since I will be out tomorrow afternoon when it plays here.

Not long to go now people !!

[smiley=DJ.gif]

I for one will be on it from the first note !! (now that i've conquered recieving the SA stream at work)

Fire up that Wakeman doing Tales from '74 and LET'S GO!


(Could this be the infamous "eating curry chicken" gig?)


Jeff

We have lift off people ...

[smiley=thumbsup.gif]

OK people, lets rock! 8-)

Very "Jane Eyre Friendly" track coming up next ... ;)

Believe it of not, this track by Pure Reason Revolution was released as a single… all 12 minutes of it :o

Hmm... a million bright ambassadors of morning...do I sense a Pink Floyd connection??

I think it's safe to say they are big Floyd fans

'Drowse' is dedicated to Rob Boardman, a friend from a Marillion forum, who passed away earlier this year. It was one of his favourite tracks and was played at his funeral.

Is this is post Freddie Mercury Queen I assume?

FYI

The main server has hit 49.7 % load - within 15 minutes of the session starting ... :o

Not at all. It is taken from the album 'A Day at the Races' from 1976.It's a Roger Taylor (drummer) composition and sung by Roger as well. Roger sang nearly all his own songs. Radio Ga Ga being one of the few exceptions.

Superb music as always SILVER. 8-)

Is there a clue in what else I will hear later???

Apart from what has already been mentioned in my opening post, expect to hear over the next 12  hours songs from Marillion (no surprise there then), Gong, Kate Bush, Porcupine Tree, Mew, Tool, King Crimson and Peter Gabriel to name but a few

…and more Queen!

Heavy Horses - my absolute favourite Tull Album!
(even if Ian's vocals had a Cat Stevens kind of sound to them)

;) -don



Great Stuff Silver!!

Enjoying the diverse mix greatly.

Thanks.

Mew, interesting and quite poppish indeed.  From what country do they originate?

..Great Live Stuff...never heard Phil do his Peter schtik between songs before! LOL!!
(in 3 languages yet)

..ever see the film they did to Robbery, Assault & Battery? (very early music video)

No I haven't, but I have seen the 'video' for Ripples

The Genesis live material is excellent.

Great session David - thanks again !!!

[smiley=beer.gif]

A-1 session silver!!!!Been listening for about a hour now......rockin stuff!!!



[smiley=peace.gif]

Glad you are all enjoying it ;D

I think the Fifth of Firth fully tested the range of Phil's voice.

Was watching a DVD of Hackett last night from the Bottom Line NYC circa 1982 and he was then and still is quite the expressive guitarist.

..hmm..that I'd like to see! The RA&B film I remember seeing on television in the states - it was a somewhat cheesy robbery caper with the four lads dressed in overcoats & masks... ;)

Is this Chester on drums?  (not bruford)

I think Phil just answered that one ;D

oop..got my answer :)

Silver;

Have to log off now, but wanted to say thanks for the excellent tunes.

To all a good weekend and a toast [smiley=beer.gif] or a toke [smiley=smoke.gif] , whichever you prefer.

This Genesis set, certainly has excellent audio quality.

agreed! You can even hear Tony's BGVs (or is it Mike?)

Couple of notes regarding this show

a: I wrongly mentioned earlier that this is an audience recording when it is in fact sourced from the soundboard with the exception of Carpet Crawlers which was audience recorded

b: Apparantly, this is the second to last full show Steve Hackett did with the band

Excellent quality!!

Signing off for now David - I'll catch the rest a little later at home....

Quitting time!!!

Have a great weekend!

-Don [smiley=DJ.gif]

I'm Back!  Just in time for Hounds of Love! Had this disc long ago - great stuff - esp. the tracks with Eberhard Weber (!)
Watching You Without Me !! - that 'Whale' sound he gets from the dbl Bass!!
Sounding good Silver!


-Hm [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Great album indeed. I know side one has all the hits (and classic tracks they are too) but side two is where she really gets creative and goes out on a limb.

8-) Couldn't agree more! My wife actually turned me on to Kate - with The Kick Inside (great cover) - Man with the child in his eyes - brilliant!

*YES live in 74*

Wakey at the keys........playing Topographic Oceans

Just doing a brief time-conversation, you'll definintely catch the entire Yes set this coming Monday Jeff. 8-)

Awesome!  


Of course, please consider adding the Remembering (playing now) and anything else forthcoming.


Hmmm...  gonna be hard to get any work done, but I  am willing to make the sacrifice for the cause!   :P

Have no fear Jeff - you'll catch the entire Yes concert on Monday.

The Topographic Oceans Tour of 1973/74 took in over 70 shows. However only about half of these actually featured the whole of the then 'new' album. Also the set list did change slightly in so much as initiallty they played Heart of the Sunrise instead of And You And I, before deciding to play the whole of the Close To The Edge album, dropping HOFTS, only to reintroduce it again once The Remembering  was dropped and also I think playing Starship Trooper (I could be wrong about that one). Of course with so few shows actually featuring all of TFTO good quality recordings are even more rare. This one is a particular gem.

For those of you who have not been able to catch this live performance (and the Genesis one earlier) I'm sure that both may at some time find their way onto the regular playlist if requested enough.

Cheers
David

Looking forward to hearing the repeat session tomorrow Silver (missed it first time round).  You have some Queen in there?  Hmmm Tenement Funster...... *fingers crossed*   8-)

Yes, due to some fan "indifference", they cut back two of the four sides during the tour... perhaps right after Detroit. It is documented in one of the Yes books that are out there.  So having the Remembering is truly special! Thanks for sharing!

Great set yesterday (friday), i particularly enjoyed hearing the genesis live in switzerland.  I occured to me, now this may or may not be true but, the genesis sound of the late 70's really paved the way for what music was going to sound like in the eighties, right?  Either that or maybe Genesis was ahead of its time?  The spot the pigeon keyboard solo was nice to hear again.. that's a 45' my collection somehow lost.  I lost all my 45's, omg, where are my 45's?  Chester Thompson on drums is groovy too.  I thought Mike Rutherford really shined on this occasion- playing at times with Chester Thompson hinting an almost swinging type feel.  Viva les Drums!  Even being familiar with the second's out recordings, I was really suprised by the vocals.  Always in a strong accurate and gutsy tone, Phil Collins played what I would say are some not so easy parts from interpretating the more early material off of SEbtP.  It was a great show complete with its share of moments and good humour, i'm sure all listeners will agree.  Hearing some Queen too was great fun.  Thanks for the great programming SA :)

Glad you enjoyed Silver's session krimhead, excellent music indeed !!

Here's looking to the re-runs this coming week.

[smiley=DJ.gif]

It has started again people !!

[smiley=thumbsup.gif]

And its rockin!!!!


[smiley=peace.gif]

I forgot that it was just Phil as the robber & Mike R. as the victim. You can see Hackett as one of the cops & I assume Tony is there too, but its not too clear.  Nice footage of Tony on the keys (would have liked to see Steve during his solo though) 8-)

QUEEN !!!

Ok guys and gals, this is the last broadcast of the session :'( and I just wanted to say thanks for all the positive comments I have received both here on the forum and private messages.

It's always a little nerve racking when putting these sessions together; yes I do it for myself but I also hope that others will enjoy it. Not only hearing some familiar music but maybe also something new as well.

Thanks again
David

You did an excellent job. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Quality session Silver 8-) 8-)

As always this is a superb session SILVER!!!!

I am listening again to it now



8-)

The best session by Silver so far IMO - an excellent selection of tracks throughout. I can't be alone in this opinion - the main server hit full capacity on more occasions than I can remember !! :o

Cheers Silver - here's looking to Silver Session V 8-)

In the meantime, from one David to another (much cooler and Progged-out) David ...
