hexwren posted:Steven Wilson's remixed Floyd's Live at Pompeii for IMAX and presumably eventual home release, the way the press release is worded. Burning Shed has preorders up for the blu-ray and it includes the original unalloyed concert as a bonus feature, Echoes bookending. No Mademoiselle Nobs on track list though, it's on the CD release though.

Unfortunately Ticketmaster is the only system the venue uses, but drat Jon Anderson is gonna be 90 minutes from my house in a beautiful historic auditorium. Tickets seem to be moving pretty fast. Guess redneck hell has a few other weirdos like me.

The new Mars Volta album is out today. I know it's unreasonable to expect bands to keep the same sound forever, especially after like 25 years, but I wish this sounded more like what they used to do at least. Whatever sound they went for on this new album is very much not my thing and I'll probably forget it even exists. It's also wild to me that they debuted this whole album opening for Deftones, because the vibes are so very different. I wonder what Deftones fans who went to those shows must have thought of this. I'm a fan of both bands, and I probably would have been disappointed if this is all TMV played at their show. It's a good thing I caught them live a couple years ago when they were primarily playing old stuff on that tour. That sounded great!

They hated it based on the 10 or so tweets I saw screenshots of on r/themarsvolta. I'm really digging their new sound. I'm totally on board with these more chill releases and really excited to see how this era of TMV progresses. I already feel like the progression from selftitled to Lucro Sucio shows immense promise for the future of the band. The explosive sound of past TMV is truly something special though and it's hard for me to fault anyone for wanting more of that.

It doesn't have the bombast of the early stuff, but to me it feels like Frances the Mute in terms of writing and the weird soundscapes and stuff, but with the more restrained sound of the last album. I've been digging the hell out of it, tbh

Martman posted:Saw them tonight and it was sick!!! No Gates but I still lost my mind okay yep can second this, outside of two songs (one of which, incredibly, was Owner of a Lonely Heart) it was ALL epics, and the band knocked it out of the park. they're not Yes, they don't really try to replicate their counterparts, but these guys can really play. and unlike current Yes I am pretty sure they are doing these songs at the original tempos. the stuff from the new album fit in really well too. I hadn't realized how wonky "True Messenger" is. it sounds like Rabin-era Yes but I don't think they did anything that complicated. and Jon himself was great. a lot of times when seeing these longtime veterans even if they can still sing and play and put on a good show they don't really have that spark. but Jon really did look like he wanted to be there. there were a number of new/improvised (?) vocal parts and he still hits the high notes. anyway, see it if you can, I'm a bit disappointed that there was no Gates but my god, if you look at the setlist you won't be disappointed. like they open with Close to the Edge, pretty baller move if you ask me

Just got home from seeing the new remastered version of Pink Floyd Live At Pompeii in IMAX. What a delight that was. It looked phenomenal and sounded phenomenal. Honestly couldn't tell that the footage was from 1972. It looked that good. And the songs...I mean, what can I say? They're classics for a reason.

just got back from a local pompeii showing - exactly what i expected, and that's not a complaint loud, clean audio, bright and sharp visuals excellent to see with a big screen and a big sound system (and it's actually been double music movie weekend for us, since we caught a showing of true stories yesterday - probably my wife's and my favorite film ever - so it's been a pretty good weekend on that front)

I went to an IMAX show yesterday and it kicked absolute rear end. The sound mix was incredible, Careful With That Axe Eugene and Echoes were worth the ticket price alone. Looked great too.

I picked up Thrak on vinyl not having heard it before and holy hell this is a great listen. Dinosaur is probably my favorite track but the riffs are crunchy as hell throughout the whole thing.

Ignorance has always been Something I excel in Followed by naivete and pride is among my all-time favorite lyrics of anybody Coda Marine is the other big standout to me on Thrak.

Digging John Hoffman's drums here, his use of the hi-hat really reminds me of Gavin Harrison e: actually, the whole song sort of vibes like if Incident-era Porcupine Tree had chosen to ape Pink Floyd's Free Four instead of Sheep Vulture Culture fucked around with this message at 14:09 on May 3, 2025 |

If I couldn't physically see him I would have had no idea Jon Anderson was 80. He doesn't sound exactly like himself 50 years ago but he's definitely still got it. also shoutouts to the Warner Theater in DC for the usher that systematically went to the people in the worst possible seats in the upper balcony and instead gave them tickets to fill all the unsold seats in, for example, the fourth row from the stage. cause wow was that ever an upgrade.

I appear to have turned into a single-issue poster because I haven't heard anything new lately in prog (which is more my fault than prog's) but I'm just now looking over the pompeii bluray and they've hosed it yet again. all I want is the original 1972 cut of the film in a nice format. the bluray has two options - "feature film" and "concert" feature film is the 1974 release with the abbey road footage as seen in theaters the image remains fantastic, the sound excellent concert is...MOST of the pompeii footage with the later stuff cut out...but it also cuts out mademoiselle nobs. that dog is great, seamus is a fun song, and it's great to have those two minutes of breathing room between the big pieces towards the end of the movie just...how in the gently caress do you get so many chances to get it right and then you don't i guess i'm going to have to learn how to properly do a rip of the video and stitch it back together myself thank gently caress i pirated it

Only watched the feature film so far, but that's weird. I love Mademoiselle Nobs, and the dog, too. A very cool little bit. In other differences, I did notice that for some reason only the feature film has an Atmos sound option. The concert is limited to 5.1. Not that it's the worst thing - even though I do actually have Atmos, 5.1 is certainly fine, and the lack of sound compression was the main reason I was excited for this release.

did someone say single new the dear hunter ep "north american ep" is out, featuring songs from their pseudo-autobiographical documentary project which covers their north american tour. the full soundtrack of that film is set to release some time this year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8i19Lsw34M their ep's have followed a very consistent pattern for me, where one track is an all-timer, another is unlistenable, and the rest are perfectly fine kalel fucked around with this message at 04:48 on Jun 26, 2025 |

Just got back from seeing Jon Anderson and The Band Geeks. Good show with an awesome Wurm. I even liked some of Anderson's new stuff, though the one I thought had the best intro went a bit too long - and this is a show that starts with Close to the Edge and has Awaken, Starship Trooper, I've Seen All Good People, And You and I, Perpetual Change and Roundabout. I had gotten tickets near the front, but off to the side a bit as they were somehow a good bit cheaper. At the start of the show, the promoter told everybody they could move up and center a bit. There were five seats empty on the front row. An usher fended off those seats for a bit, then in the middle of CTTE told the four of us on this side row that we could have 'em in five minutes if nobody showed up. drat, y'all, I ended up with front row seats. I'll post a few photos after work tomorrow.

Not proggy but I have a similar story seeing Peter Frampton - I got some free tickets to a show from a radio promotion or something (I can't recall how), so I had nosebleeds in a theater, but hey, free Frampton show. A guy came up to me before the show and said "Hey are you a Frampton fan?" and I responded honestly with "uhhh I'm a fan of the hits and stuff yeah" and he said "Cool, I'm his manager, lemme upgrade you to front row". So overall, free front row tickets to Frampton

He asked to hear Baby I Love Your Way, think you can play it for him?

May have been like when I went to see Krim at the mountain winery and during intermission the ushers were reassigning seats and pushing people as close together to the front as possible so the photos that David Singleton took from the stage had a maximally full audience.

You got the stick but you didn't get him with the harp or either of the tambourines! These are lousy and poorly zoomed, but I just took them to show my wife so I wasn't expecting possible critique:
