Fragile was one of the first Albums I ever bought. Great time to grow up as far as music goes. I like both covers and Youtubes next tune was Roundabout with Geddy Lee singing :)

I really enjoyed Lee playing with Yes at the induction. It was fascinating how he stayed in the background and suppressed his style to let it be their night. He was a fantastic person albeit with asinine political ideas.

I saw BRMC at The Globe in Milwaukee, I want to say in 2002...great live show. No frills, just came out and rocked faces off.

I wanna say I saw them way back in the day at First Ave (opening band of sorts) but I can't be certain. :( The only reason that pops into my head is because of the long, odd name, and they were good.

I saw that lineup. Spectacular.

Per the comment: Fripp never smiled once at our show, but they were letter perfect. He's such a trip.

This is my favorite song from the pink suit show. There are entire youtube videos just breaking down the time signature.

I never saw them live, but seeing that performance on that show that night changed everything about me and my tastes in music.

A JHS friend who later was lost to schizophrenia introduced me to Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa, and King Crimson when I was 13. Then a HS friend who later was lost to the American Spectator introduced me to blues and punk when I was 17. Together those two guys built my musical foundation. I've put rap, opera, and jazz on top of it, but the foundation is still there and supports it all: weirdness, discordance, complex rhythm, ambiguity, stridency, commitment. Give me something deeply unnerving that's played note perfect from memory in three different simultaneous time signatures and I'm yours forever; the genre doesn't matter.

The first time I found a woman who embodied all of that I put a ring on it.

I saw this concert not prepared for the stage arrangement (read no advance press), and without a doubt that one will stay with me. Mastelotto has the most toys, but the three preeminent drummers in front, beauteous. Fripp actually opened up his batting stance a bit. I was accustomed to him obscured by the stacks.

Reading up to #789, I'd better respond about Belew. Three Of a Perfect Pair, chosen as an encore, solo. But the record quality of that one not so good, so a more intimate setting.

RIP Steve Priest the bassist for Sweet, who looked like a real-life Spinal Tap.

My dad owned a bowling alley for a short bit in the early 70's. I joined a league for 1 year and they had a DJ that took requests. I probably requested Fox On The Run and Ballroom Blitz every Saturday for 6 months.

Hey I was 7.

Fox On The Run was the better Sweet song. And Little Willy ruled.

My dad bought me Dark Side of the Moon for Christmas when I was 10. He wasn't always on as he bought Frampton Comes Alive at the same time.

That same year my best friend bought me News of the World for my birthday which luckily was 2 days after it was released (Oct 30).

My brother (born '62) introduced me early on to bands across the spectrum: Styx, Zeppelin, The Who, Boz Skaggs, Van Halen, Prince, Yes, Chicago, The Replacements, Allman Brothers, The Beatles, etc. My own initial tastes branched from there starting mostly with AOR, heavy metal, then I got turned onto alternative (Radio Free Europe might be my oldest memory?) and the spark was lit.

Like you I've added on other genres (blues, hip hop, classical) and my interest in listening but also exploring has never waned.

Damm. My Nick Cave show this fall has been cancelled.

He canceled at the 930 Club too. Maybe he canceled the whole tour. Dude's gotta be 70.

Edit: Only 63. Nick Cave's just 5 years my senior. Yikes!
