[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 356900, member: 2189"] DS, Something you might relate too, I'm up early this morning and about to head out shortly to take a 4 string and 5 string bass to a guitar tech for setup. You still at it with your's? Being in Toronto area and if by chance you might be interested in early Genesis (Gabriel era) you gotta check out a band called The Musical Box [URL="http://themusicalbox.net/"][COLOR=red][B]http://themusicalbox.net/[/B][/COLOR][/URL] [COLOR=black]. I'm a huge fan of the band (alltime favorite as a matter of fact) from that era having seen them in 74' (Selling England by the Pound) and 75' (The Lamb) and the Musical Box does exact recreations ofthose early shows down to the smallest detail. I took my wife to see them about 5 or 6 years ago and I had reservations about the whole coverband idea but walking into the venue I was stopped dead in my tracks as it was like walking back in time seeing that stage setup for the first time. The entire show was just pure time travel as the lead singer not only sounded like Gabriel but even between songs he told those same crazy stories and even had his mannerisms down to a tee. I was just blown away. It in fact was so good that after the show I told my wife that from here on out she can say that she saw Genesis, it was that good![/COLOR] King Crimson is doing a small tour up in the NE US after recording their new CD so I'm hoping Fripp takes it on the road. Scratch, Yeah, I remember a lot of those shows you mentioned. If you like Richie Blackmore (I do) formerly of Deep Purple/Rainbow, checkout Blackmore's Night.

I wanted 30 Days in the Hole! :happy-very: 2 best live albums of all time were both recorded in the old Fillmore. Humble Pie and Allman Brothers! In Memory of Elizabeth Reed, it don't get no better than that! Tourist, I saw 3 Days Grace with Nickleback on their last tour and then 3DG on their most recent tour and then the following night I saw Avenged Sevenfold. 3DG and Nickleback are OK but I do like Sevenfold.
