I'll see if I can find some samples to listen to....Expo '70 recently completed a West Coast tour, playing a sold out show in San Francisco with Wooden Shjips and ARP. Accompanying Wright was Matt Hill, a local Kansas City musician who studied at Berkeley College of music in Boston. Hill contributed bass and analog drum patterns underlying Wright's ability to work up these long rich drones into what some might reflect a classic rock band. The live shows consisted of the two sitting indian style in front of their amps, forcing audiences to sit along with them while they build soundscapes. With a blast of smoke from a fog machine, the canvas was layed for them to rise up and get into so Pink Floyd and Hawkwind-like sonic psychedelic playing with Hill looping bass lines and Wright catching waves of melodic of guitar soloing.

Re: A Prog Rock Whirlwind!
Thanks for posting the Andy/Albert comments-- a fascinating glimpse into the history of my favorite band! Although I've always wondered more about the split between Sandy Pearlman and the rest of the band.
Anyway, here's my favorite track from the Stalk-Forrest Group release, "Arthur Comics." Awesome early-70's boogie rock, with a great guitar solo.

My apologies, this is more classical, but dammit it make me chuckle and is perfect for a Friday... I'm no expert, but I really think they changed some of the words or something because at times it sounds dead-on.

Re: A Prog Rock Whirlwind!
Yes, "Headlong Flight" may be the strongest new Rush song since, hell, I don't know. Really really good stuff.

Yeah, but Rush isn't even in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They must not be that good and not that important either.Wheggi wrote:Yes, "Headlong Flight" may be the strongest new Rush song since, hell, I don't know. Really really good stuff.

Re: A Prog Rock Whirlwind!
Yeah, Deep Purple and Rush aren't nearly as influencial to rock as, say, ABBA or Neal Diamond. Did Warren Zevon, KISS, the B-52s or Devo ever make it in? What about T-Rex?
