Laurabw Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Todd Rundgren's The Individualist tour comes to LA in May. I'll get my book signed by Todd before the show at Amoeba Music in Hollywood. He is supposed to play two different sets with a Q&A in between. The second set will included 'deep tracks' from his catalog.I'm going next week in the city!

New_World_Man Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Well I've been a huge Moody Blues fan since I was a kid (thanks Dad!), so that works for me. And I've loved Asia since the 80s and Carl Palmer, well, he's just outstanding, so there you have it! Not a Yes fan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New_World_Man Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 (edited) Well I've been a huge Moody Blues fan since I was a kid (thanks Dad!), so that works for me. And I've loved Asia since the 80s and Carl Palmer, well, he's just outstanding, so there you have it! Not a Yes fan?I like them, not a huge fan though. Ha ha. Fair enough. The complaint I hear from most people is the vocals. Come to think of it I sometimes hear that complaint about Rush too though. Yes is actually probably my favorite band(if I had to chose). I've seen them 11 times(way more than any other band(only saw Rush four times although Rush would probably be my number two band if I had to chose). Yes is actually one of the bands to really get me into prog rock. Without them I would probably only have a passing familiarity with the genre especially since I was a teen in the eighties when most prog bands were kind of poppy(ie Genesis)or just doing different things and you didn't really hear much about prog rock unless you were a big fan of those bands. So anyway I got into them more when I discovered their back catalog which also happened with Genesis and Rush(my brother's friend was into them which got me into them). I still see Rush as a sort of cross between LZ(who I got big into just before Yes)and Yes.I really feel that more Rush fans should give Yes a chance(especially the albums and not just the "hits)especially from the Yes album to going for the one and especially if they like the COS to Moving Pictures era of Rush(not as heavy as Rush but still very prog sounding like that period of Rush. Also, the Drama album which probably was the heaviest Yes album at the time(and no Jon Anderson on vocals which might be a plus for some). Ok, end of rant.

Laurabw Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 And in my immediate future, going to see Todd in the city on Tuesday. We're slumming it up in the balcony this time, I don't really need to see him up-close, he's got the worst wardrobe in all of rock and roll.

Cool stuff except for Rick's inappropriate monologue. It came as no surprise to me that Alex and Geddy were big Yes fans. I knew that already. I thought maybe it would help give Yes a boost they need these days but I doubt many who weren't already Yes fans paid much attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Looking at Judas Priest and/or The Who for May. Leaning towards The Who (a bit older, a bit less likely to do another tour), but JP is a bit cheaper, and I'm a bit bigger of a fan. Still...I'd regret not seeing The Who given the chance.
