Calling all prog fans!!

Well, I think we'd all agree that there's a big difference between being opinionated and being a dick about it, right?
It occurs to me that I ought to post here, in the "calling all prog fans" thread, some links I posted earlier in a different thread. As you might or might not know, Julie Slick (who I trust prog fans are familiar with) and Italian bassist/composer Marco Machera recently did a mini-tour in support of their album "Fourth Dementia" -- with Pat Mastelotto on drums (!) and the awesome Tim Motzer on guitar. My buddy and I got good audio and video recordings of the Philadelphia show, and passed them along to the band. Marco has since been working on syncing the (higher quality) audio recordings to the video recordings, and has started posting parts of the show one at a time. So far he's posted three of the tunes: the set opener "Green" (from 4th Dementia) and the two King Crimson tunes they covered -- "Dinosaur" and "Indiscipline" -- with Marco on vocals (the latter in Italian!). Here are the links to these, but keep your eyes open for more later:

LOL....Sorry, your post reminded me of the 'Downfall - The Fripp Problem' video. AH says: "Anyone who thinks Kansas is prog, leave the room." And everyone leaves except 3 guys. I love that vid.
Thx for the tip on the DVD. I just scored 4 Transatlantic DVDs to replace my crappy Utube downloads. Wow, Blu-ray and prog ROCK!
Thanks for the tip. I O U 1! They are my new favorite band. It's hard to keep up with him on bass, but I'm trying. I just received:
Now, to practice!

My pleasure! I think you'll like them
I already do! I downloaded horrible sounding mp3s and vids off the interwebs months ago, but now I got 'em with quality sound/picture! Also, it hopefully supports the band, too. Just ordered Whirlwind on CD and More is Never Enough (5 disc) CD/DVD. Pete even inspired me to get an Ibanez SR 1000, so with his pedals (RP 1000), Minitaur, doubleneck, Rick and the Ibby, I'm set! LOL!My pleasure! I think you'll like them
PS: My wife thanks you too!
Cheers,
Neal.
Yeah, old thread, but I've been listening to Colosseum II for some reason, something reminded me of them. John Mole, a fine bass player, I believe he is not with us anymore. Nice live version of this song, nice fretless melodic playing, and, man...Gary Moore just KILLS me, he was such an intense guitar player, the most screaming multi string bends of anyone (the studio version of this especially)...
Hopefully some of you made it out to the yearly Prog Day event, here in Chapel Hill, NC! It's an internal affair, with bands spanning the globe (and their fans, too)! If you missed it this year, bookmark it for next year. It's always (USA's) Labor Day Weekend! ProgDay Home Page
I was really surprised to not see Karnivool on here. Jon Stockman's playing is superb. Never over the top, definitely always serving the song, but has some lovely ideas/concepts. Tone to die for as well.
