Sounds like it was a great show!
No dates down here I’m afraid.
I think I preferred their last show simply because I prefer the earlier and later stuff (Seconds Out is my standard, dodgy sound quality aside) to Lamb as a whole. But it REALLY helped me better understand the Lamb story seeing it performed. The Lamia in particular.
Anyhow. Great night. One I will remember for years. Like I said, my concert buddy is in Rome with his family on a long-planned pilgrimage and missed the show. I think I got the better deal.

So, did a long overdue soundroom session, and I gotta resubmit - Supertramp - Brother Where You Bound - Title track - been a favorite since thirteen seconds after I bought it, what a masterpiece. Rick Davies and David Gilmour…together… C’mon. The music biz has not provided us with many golden tidbits like this. A bit lacking in the upper frequencies mix but outstanding bottom end. A seditiously underrated track.

Just returned from Montreal, after an epic Marillion-Weekend, musically and socially. Top-notch musicianship, yet even more importantly, a weekend imbued with a sense of emotional and moral integrity, decency, and intimacy.
Below are several photos.

Awesome… That looks delightful. My favorite prog band.
I am SO jealous. 1986 was the last and only time Marillion hit the westcoast of Canada. (AFAIK)
C’mon boys… GET here!
did the play AHBID?
Yes. On the 2nd night (out of three).
Captivating performance. Also, SQ was much better than AHBID’s Blu-ray…

I don’t enjoy AHBID on my system but its great on my IEM and in the cars. A shame because i think its a fantastic album.
Indeed, similar experience here.
That’s one of the characteristics with revealing systems, they’re ‘truthful’ to the source.

A great plain ole blues based middle of the road meat and potatoes rockin tune. A good live track showcasing everybody on board.
OK, if you neeeeed the prog connection - the lead singer Brian Maes was the lead vocalist for the prog band - Shire.
OK, I never heard of them either - but it STILL counts.
The whole “The Road” album is pretty good. You can hear a bit of the Goudreau Boston-ish sound on a few tracks. I like it!

Saw them twice in '96 in Ottawa and again in ‘17 in Scottsdale. Same lineup and they did the Selling tour with Supper as the Finale’. Even though I’ve never seen the PG lineup (I was 5 years old when he left for F’s sake…LOL). Many who have seen that tour close their eyes (me too) and swear it was the real deal on stage.
Best part is they are Genesis approved !

Yup. I could not believe their Lamia bit. Just outstanding.

Bit of a dry spell in Proglandia?
Heard this on Morow recently.
Like it.
I was out of the country but have not seen anything new and notable.
Let me fire this up and see.
Thanks much!
Hmmm, let me see if I can find a song about poor working stiffs who try to veil their envy of retired folk travelling about the globe… 
You went somewhere delightful I hope?

ha ha ha too bad i am not retired… Working stiff here!
Share that song though!
So far have only listened to Seize the Day and I like it. I hear a lot of influences (good ones) but its got its unique sound and composition.
The break of bass and piano is very nice!
The dude has a good prog voice. No Smurfs!
Thanks
It initially reminded me a little bit of Crucible but on piano and without the flute…

My house be a smurf free zone!

I bought the album (Overlords - Bandcamp - full WAV files.) It’s pretty good. But even mediocre is good after any dry spell…
