  1. I can just here Bob biting his tongue on that last post...So, I'll go and do what he wouldn't do in this situation...Get a little joy from liviing vicariously through this, Bog...None of my entries had anything to do with Priests at The Temples Of Syrinx...I'm now wondering if Goob even reads posts other than his own, he's so self absorbed. Goob, you've never actually 'laughed aloud' at anyone's entry here, EV-ER...If you did, you'd be a phuckin' mental patient, locked in a closet somewhere, you Oregonian turdball...This game is not that sort of medium, not even in the least...Be truthful to yourself and others here, at least once....It comes across so cheezy when you say that you're laughing out loud, and then you come and say the complete opposit. In our PM's, you've made it quite obvious that you're completely unable to detect quality or humour in any other person here, on any level...of course, other than yourself. That, I'll give ya. I gave you several opportunities to point towards something, anything that you thought was funny on this thread and couldn't do it...You've removed yourself from this game time and again because others wouldn't or couldn't acknowledge that your storyboard contribs were any good...But, ya see that my tactics are a lil' different than yours, huh? And, it's the same schitt with you clowns, only the year has changed...As once again, one-dimensional obviousness and simplicity of mind wins out every single time over actual inventiveness, craft and creativity...I sit here and watch, time and time again, people actually reward banality, uninventiveness and stupidity on every single round since I been watching along from way back in June. Some of ya'll are humorless, small and simple-minded men...Ya know that, don't cha? You know WHO ya'll are. I definitely would not presume to be speaking to ALL in this manner, that's for sure...I'm sorry to those who's buzz I've ruined by doing this. But, this thread is only an ego-massage session, not a competition. There's no way I can believe, no way that I can be convinced with the evidence in such plain sight, that people here are actually picking these 'winning entries' out of anything other than sheer spite, and a hardcore reluctance to part with deserving praise even where its due. The wins here are literally on the level of some Elementary School class' fingerpainting class...This thread and the kingpins around it amount to nothing more than an afternoon whack off session for frail egos. How can I win so many of these rounds at other sites, but be locked out here entirely? I just doesn't jibe with reason, man. And everyone has their little quirks, indeed...Myself included, I'll admit...I can't tolerate stupidity, and have a boiling point for it...Thusly, you get THIS explosion....BUT, 1-0-0-1 tailors his entries to the EGO of each player who's currently in the JUDGE's chair, as per his own words on the subject...He knows precisely how to give those lill' ego strokes when he detects someone cravin' 'em...And, Gary thinks that every player here is completely humorless, other than himself, of course...Btw, Gar, I just sent off a batch of your PMs about how 'unfunny' 1-0-0-1 is to his PM box...Probably reading through the bulk of 'em right now... See ya later, phuckjoints...So, phuckin' threatened you guys are by outsiders and ideas bigger and better than your own...So f'n threatened are SOME of the males here by outsider's ideas...Can't even ackowledge the worth of another person...By some of your language, it would kill you to do so. Go suck the old, grey balls of Jimmy Carter, you britches! No, but seriously, have some good, rich, eventful lives full of depth of meaning...I'd hate for something 'petty' like this to come between us...Truly...If you guys want, I'll still stick around after closing hour and watch you dudes jag off each other's egos behind the mail trucks, like we used to do back in seminary...You guys are the best...See ya...Kisses.
  2. Early, Pre-NFL 'zone defense' formation...The 'Safety' back then was permitted to carry a heavy, solid steel bar...and if you beat all the other defenders deep in the back field, it was down to a contest between yourself, him, your ball and his bat. It was beautiful...Game shoulda never changed.
  3. I got 'Anesthetize' playing right now...LOUD...It's 7:00 am and I can't sleep...It's funny how specific exposure to a track can get you so much more into the music...I notice how much of an impact the 'live' treatment can have on people in general...Tunes that folks can't appreciate sometimes at all with the 'studio' version, instantly come alive in the live setting... I'm not saying that I wasn't enamored of 'Anesthetize' before the show...It's just those darn 'Floydian Marching Pills'...They got me a little high, son. And, the other track I keep reliving over again is 'Time Flies'...My buddy, for him, last Friday night was the first time he heard the piece...Said that it made him feel 'melancholic'...I said, 'What Steve Wilson music doesn't?'...He doesn't know enough. Most people don't know any at all. Good for us. Sad for them.

Thanks for the feedback, bro. awesome show is an understatement!! maybe the best concert ive ever been to. and no problem, man!!!!! i tried my best I know which fan site I'm going to drop all this technical stuff on next, and see how they react...Bigtime PT geeks over there...If we were wrong about any of our assessments here, they'll be happy to point it out for us...lol...Won't take credit for any of your knowledge though...You know way more about this band than myself... I remember that it was so much easier to know every in and out about a group when I was back in my teens and Led Zeppelin, Sabbath and The Doors that I needed to know anything about...Now, it's dozens upon dozens of bands, and some of the info kinda blends together. What NIGHT does the Royal Albert House show happen, and is there ANY CHANCE of a DVD coming out of that event?
  7. After ya go an' git yerself mussed in all da various Pubs, Tap Rooms and Ale Houses of this won'drous and grand ole city they call New York, don't firgit ta stop in and and pay a visit to the Pork Ya Pin Tree...It'll be waitin' fer ya.

You're telling me that The Blind House, with accompanying film, came a full four songs before the next song with an attached film? I don't think so. But, I guess so...If this is what you're saying and no one else is saying different... Can you give me a hint to how the 'Blind House' film begun? Was it with some imagery other than with the Women? I remember being sucked into the films right away and my two other brethren, rather - clansmen felt the same way about them...These films were transcendent in a way...Very immersive, that's fer sure. You're saying two more things here, and I want to see if they jibe with what I remember...Actually, this would be a big help in getting things straight...When you say that Occam's Razor had the ' images flashing on beat with the song'...are you speaking of the RED lights moving across the stage in syncopated rhythm? Because, if you are - there were TWO songs that used this 'red light' schema...Can you name the other? Aside from you interjecting that 'new' item...You also seem to infer that there was a 'Fifth' film attached to the Encore song - 'Arriving Somewhere'...Let's see if we can get these coupla things squared away and then I'm sure that both our memories will be better served...Thanks. i dont really remember how the Blind House video started....but Occams Razor didnt have the red lights, Tinto Brass in the first set definately had those lights, and MAYBE "Up The Downstair" but i dont remember exactly. Occams Razor is a really short prelude that leads int o The Blind House.. and the four songs between Blind House and Time Flies (the songs with videos) was only really two real songs. Great Expectations and Kneel & Disconnect are really short interlude things, while Drawing The Line and Dislocated Day were full songs. but anywho, there was definately some visual stuff for Arriving Somewhere....not for the whole song, but it was there. Alright, this all makes sense now. 'Dislocated Day' is the one and only song from that evening that I was unfamilar with...I remember the general whereabouts of when I had the realization that I didn't know this track. So, the 'four song sequence' that I was talking about, the segment of the show that I said was 'the most intense song sequence' that I've ever been privy to view MUST be what I have labeled here as Second Set B. IT WAS FUSSIN' INSANE, MAN!!! How about that end of the show, huh? Right? They killed it, sent it home, bang it up and beat it to a pulp, and returned once more around the bend to smack it outta the park, man...That was one awesome show, indeed. Thanks for the feedback, bro. Second Set A Occam's Razor ("The Incident" images flashing on beat with the song) The Blind House (mormon women vid) Great Expectations (none) Kneel and Disconnect (none) Drawing the Line (none) Dislocated Day (none) Second Set B Time Flies (time flies music video) The Pills I'm Taking (crazy pills video) Up the Downstair (none) Sleep Together (weird robot video, i think)

QUOTE (Wilderness_of_Mirrors @ Sep 27 2010, 10:58 AM) QUOTE (thelocator @ Sep 27 2010, 03:03 AM) What's not jibin' well with memory is that the 'Mormon Women' film comes first in this here thread's posted lineup...I'm not recalling that at all as the first film shown...And, secondly, I don't remember such a big gap between the first and second film shown that night...Some thing(s) don't look kosher in PT town...Can you 'splain the anomalies? heres the whole second set: Occam's Razor ("The Incident" images flashing on beat with the song) The Blind House (mormon women vid) Great Expectations (none) Kneel and Disconnect (none) Drawing the Line (none) Dislocated Day (none) Time Flies (time flies music video) The Pills I'm Taking (crazy pills video) Up the Downstair (none) Sleep Together (weird robot video, i think) Encore: Arriving somewhere but not here (really cool spacey video with clouds at the end) the video with the women was definately for The Blind House because the song is about a religious cult, or fundamentalist group who held a bunch of women hostage so that is what the video was all about.... the other video youre wondering about was either for Sleep Together, or Bonnie The Cat in the first set but honestly i really dont know what video youre talking about. Really? You're telling me that The Blind House, with accompanying film, came a full four songs before the next song with an attached film? I don't think so.

  10. QUOTE (Hatchetaxe&saw @ Sep 27 2010, 11:02 AM) I think Magnificiation is marvellously consistent, let down only by Anderson's twee Soft As A Dove. The verbose oracle of Prog deems this assessment to be correct...I think that Magnification is easily their BEST and most consistent offering Post-90125...That's not to say that I'm not into all the others...And, if 'Keystudio' were a proper release instead of a hodgepodge, maybe that would be their B&MC.

And, what song was attached to the film with the 'Robot Automaton' banging away at that strage Morse Code device-looking thing? the one with the "mormon women" was The Blind House, and the other one was Sleep Together Thanks, mate...That was so awesome...I want it back for 12 more minutes.
  13. QUOTE (micgtr71 @ Sep 26 2010, 08:22 PM) I feel that I would like to add the self-titled album to your list as well. Peter Banks was quite a guitarist, unfortunately not the chops-gifted guy Howe is. Did you follow-up that love fer Banks with checking out the first two FLASH recordings? Absolutely E-SSENTIAL FARE for big fans of the first two YES titles. About the third or fourth time through these recordings and this Banks/Kaye splinter group in effect becomes YES bonus material for the listener... There's two tracks on each title that are virtually indistinguishable from the best of YES was doing during period, their best, like 'Sweet Dreams' and 'Astral Traveller'... I started listening to these albums about two years ago, but only now am I totally crazy about them. I listen to the first two FLASH recordings far more than the actual first two YES releases at this point. I got an easy way to sell any big YES fan on this band...Go and try to find the full-length samples for any of the following tracks...Probably MySpace or LastFM would be where you could hear 'em...These three: Small Beginnings, Lifetime, There No More...I can't think of the fourth track. I've been reading through many upon many of the reviews of 90125 from the real longtime YES fans, and so so many of them point to something about either 'Our Song' or 'Hearts' that reminds them of them being 'bridge songs' connecting the 80's version of YES with it's prior incarnation in the 70's...It should be pretty obvious to the listener...This is the average review I'm coming across... "Luckily, after the nadir comes the zenith: 'Hearts', the album closer, is probably the closest to 'traditional Yes' here than anything else, for quite a number of reasons. First, it's relatively long (seven and a half minutes - the average length of a short Yes filler). Second, it has some great organ from Kaye, and thus has at least a little retro-ish sound. Third and most important, it gives us the nostalgic opportunity to get to hear the 'Time And A Word'-style Jon Anderson once again: the refrain has some gorgeous falsetto vocals that recreate the innocent hippie optimism that helped redeem Jon's early compositions. It might be rather 'simplistic' for Yes standards, but it's certainly more complex than your average pop love ballad. In fact, I could have easily dubbed it my favourite song on the album if it weren't for the atrocious guitar solo that Trevor Rabin probably picked off a conveyer transporting 'heaven and hellish' guitar solos to all the bland 'progressive' bands of the Eighties. As it is, 'Changes' sounds more compact." http://starling.rinet.ru/music/yes.htm
