progressive rock recordings / bands

I used to consider myself somewhat "in the know" when it came to prog bands, but until recently this band was completely off my radar until this year. They sound, to me, almost like an evolution of Gabriel era Genesis - the vocals especially. Really fantastic stuff! As with most bands I find lately, they no longer appear to be together.

Wow that really sounds like a Genesis Gabriel era clone! It is almost a tribute band.

"Dance on a Volcano" - Rick Beato.



I noted that he made a grievous error right near the beginning! He says this is the first song to feature Phil's lead singing. Not true. (You're slipping, Rick :woot:) Phil sang lead on an earlier Genesis song, "More Fool Me".

Yes, that is an excellent Beato piece. I love his enthusiasm. He points out some great rhythmic bits.

My mind goes back to seeing Phil do the tune at The Beacon Theater in 1976. Just killer. The rear projection of flowing and exploding lava was just perfect.

This is probably one of my favorite threads on all of Talkbass. Every time I get a notification that there’s something new on here it’s usually something very good and very interesting. Cheers to everyone for the great recommendations

That was a great tour. I saw it two nights in a row at Music Hall, Cleveland. Those were the only times I saw Bill Bruford perform, too, and what a combination between Phil and Bill! :bassist:

Pretty sure his first lead vocal was For Absent Friends on Nursery Crymes

I knew there was another one, but I didn't look for it. I've seen Phil come out from behind his drums for a couple different songs back when I first saw Genesis in April '73.

I am so glad you caught the 76 show. He started the drum duet with Bill. They did a great job on that.

Bill was so good live—anywhere, anytime, with any band. I know I have mentioned this, but I got to see him twice with UK (twice on the first tour…once in NJ and once in Central Park), three times with his own band (I saw the first show of his 79 US tour at The Bottom Line and the LAST show of the same tour in SF), and once with King Crimson (81 in the Bay Area), and with Yes on the Union tour.

Not impressed by what I have heard, so far.

Me neither. I am/was a big Yes fan. But this doesn’t sound like Yes to me. I think they should have stopped after John Anderson left. I don’t understand why they still go on with only two original Yes members. What’s in there for Steve Howe?

For me the last decent Yes album was 90125.
