Do not drink from the toilet when taking Lyrica

I listen to pandora a lot,making new "stations" as i go,and recently discovered from a Kraan station, a defunct Bay area band called "crime in choir". Based on the 2 tracks pandora played ,i just ordered 2 cd's from amazon,and am looking forward to checking them out further.
Hmm'also last nite on paladia,a prog-esque concert featuring transatlantic,elp,asia,and...foreigner? Elp still sounded pretty good,but i was surprised by Greg Lake's appearance,as i hadn't seen him in a while. (he's really big).

[Lefty4003S8]

Yeah.......and I remember when a certain bass-guitarist who's famous for playing a Ric RM1999 that he's had since day one, was tall and very skinny!!!!! Well.....he's STILL tall

Ehhh, I used to be a young, tall, and skinny bass player - overrated!

Yes I love it. Here you can see why Yes and Genesis are the leading force in that kind of music.

[crimson_dynamo]

They lost me a little when they got to the newer stuff, but the old footage was great. Still, I call for more King Crimson footage. I know this is a Rick forum, but there has never been a more beastly bass sound than John Wetton on Red.

[FretlessOnly]

Indeed. To me, Starless is pure bliss, and Wetton's tone in the second half of that song is nothing short of filthy.

John - thanks for posting the viddy link!

[crimson_dynamo]

I sheepishly admit that I saw Wetton and Edie Jobson play last year and they did UK and Crimson tunes all night at small theatre in Arlington, MA. It was like a Star Trek convention, all the old prog wizards in the audience! John Wetton's voice has always had a lovely "lived in" quality and that sounded great. His bass playing was definitely hampered by carpel tunnel syndrome and he had a thumb pick taped to his hand. Sadly, his HIwatts were nowhere to be seen and he had a plain old modern bass tone. Meanwhile, Adrien Belew has a power trio with a young girl form Philly named Julie Slick who totally recreates the patented Wetton Brontosaurus bass sound.

I've said too much and outed myself as a prog geek. I'm going to go say ten hail REMs.

[FretlessOnly]

Maybe it was you who posted about that show in Arlington, I dunno, but I found out about it the day after. Crimso is #1 for both myself and the lead guitarist in my band (and he can nail Fracture), and we would have loved to have seen that.

[crimson_dynamo]

I gotta say, it has been a long time since I listened to UK, but my inner 15 year old would have been appalled if I skipped that show.

Just on the off chance you don't know this: Adrien Belew is playing in Boston in a few weeks with Tony Levin opening. there will definitely be some Crimson tomfoolery to be had.

[FretlessOnly]

Thank you, thank you. I'll look into it.
