Indeed! I was fortunate enough to see them open for Wishbone Ash,and they were the better act.
Was unable to find any records here in BFE;years later I got the Pressure Points cd--all that I could find.(pre internet).
Now available on DVD.
Thanks Don! I'll have to get the DVD - have the CD.
I think my favorites are all named above, except for PFM and Jethro Tull.

You guys need to update the progressive rock bands you listen to.
Here's one from Sweden, Seventh Wonder. Sort of sound like Dream Theater, except with a much more listenable vocalist.

Just remembered Transatlantic. Check out their song My New World for a tasty introduction to them.

Jethro Tull, indeed.
And also Spinal Tap. Sorry.

I just gave away my ticket to see Tony Levin and Adrian Belew with the Les Paul Trio. Wouldn't you know it I'm sick the day of the show.
