Will do . There's a whole subset of prog bands from Scandinavia that I'm still exploring.

That will take you some time. There are a lot of them. I came across a Swedish prog band Twin Age back in the '90s before forums. I was on a Rush list-serv hosted on a Univ. of Maryland server by a couple of students. Twin Age added a mail with a give away for their first CD month of the year. I won a copy and it arrived from Sweden autographed by every band member. I bought their two follow up CDs. They have since disappeared. Heavy Genesis influence. Here's the first album (my fav).

I got to see him when he backed up YES in 1977. Madison Square Garden. He did a good job and the crowd was fairly respectful.

That was the Tales Of Topographic Oceans tour.

I've posted this story before, so apologies if you've read it.

I saw this show in Madison, WI at the Dane County Coliseum. Festival seating. Best location in the house was about 30 rows back, right in front of the FOH riser (which you weren't allowed to sit on). The doors would open and everyone rushed the stage. Not me. I went straight for the FOH and stood in front of it with my legs pressed against it so no one could get behind me. Was sitting their with a friend. Donovan finished his set, which I enjoyed, but didn't play Atlantis. Boo. The lights went up and the roadies started tearing down his equipment. I stood up and started chanting "Atlantis. Atlantis. Atlantis." Then my friend finally joined me. Donovan came back on stage with a bar stool and his 12 string and played it for me, while the roadies finished clearing his gear!

One of my favorite concert experiences. It was a capacity crowd of about 8,500, but he played that song for me.

My guess is that one of the FOH guys (who I'd passed a doob up to during his set) called backstage and told him about my chant.

Shivers down my spine.

That's fantastic! And yeah, I bet you're right about the FOH guy. Super cool!
