Return to Forever (w/diMeola), for ex., sounds more like emotionless showmanship to me. Fun in some ways, in no way deep like Mahavishnu.

I saw them in Lowell at the Paul Tsongas Arena last weekend (the last gig of this leg of their tour; I think the one right after MSG), which they were videotaping I believe for a PBS special and later a DVD release. They played The Beatles' "Every Little Thing" (an early cover of theirs, but very much revamped) as an encore instead of "Soon", plus "Starship Trooper" as the final closer. Great versions of "And You and I", "Ritual", "Turn of the Century"...
Minuses: They did a shuffle-blues acoustic version of "Roundabout" (like Clapton did for "Layla" on his Unplugged)--sounds too cheezy to me. Dean's inflatable set looked very (ahem) Stonehenge like.
That aside, I continue to be amazed at what a great show these guys still put on, since they're all like 55-60 years old. Plus, the a/c that night was non-existent, so it was like 85-90 degrees on stage the entire time for them.

Rustic Hinge's [recorded 1970, not released until '88, former Arthur Brown sidemen, almost certainly the first Trout Mask Replica-disciples] is excellent but you'll probably never find it. ― Myonga Von Bontee (Myonga Von Bontee), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 06:13 (twenty years ago) link

answer to original poster's question -- Triode On n'a pas fini d'avoir tout vu (with proto-disco flutes!). it played between almost every outside set at terrastock in june and had people a little wiggly

An hour of archive footage with what seem to be Steve Wright penned glib captions, followed by the docu, in which Rick Wakeman will no doubt be aloowed to drone on.
Pretty entertaining so far though!

Ah, right. Bugger, missing the archive footage, then (and still up to eyes with work and reluctanct to give up just yet. Tits).

Pretty good set of talking heads thus far. Some of the usual "greatest era" stuff, although most contrbutors seem to be able to analyse things a bit more than that.

Scored 321 in a 3-player game against hapless gf's mum (142) and gf (120), who won last night's triple-header and incurred the fitting response. I am the GODLIEST, she the BARMAID. Bam. All this to a lovely soundtrack too. :)

when i was doing that I had Duke on the "Now Playing" sign while Sunrain was on because I don't have that Ashra New Age of Earth vinyl (it's really hard to find!), someone came back and was like "this is blowing my mind, I had no idea Genesis did stuff like this"

I would record it but I don't know how!
"Disengage" was the version of Exposure...I forgot there was another one
I've played Chronicles of Father Robin before, that and Wobbler are the two that always make people come back and go "what is this? what year is this from?"
