	🤯 ♥ 7:03pm HollyRT: Hiya
	♥ 7:03pm Dave Mandl: Greetings, friends. Thanks for joining me.
	🤯 ♥ 7:04pm Coach32sm: He loved Brass
	♥ 7:04pm Dave Mandl: ↳ tim @7:03 True! Including that Springsteen cover.
	♥ 7:05pm steveo: ↳ Song: "Konekuf" by "Manfred Mann Chapter Three" very interesting! hello!
	🤯 ♥ 7:05pm tim: ↳ Dave Mandl @7:04 This is not a dis but Manfred Mann were musical chameleons.
	7:05pm Ochre Ogre: Hi Dave! That Vertigo swirl label always made me dizzy.
	♥ 7:06pm Dave Mandl: ↳ Ochre Ogre @7:05 Haha. To prepare you for the music, I guess.
	7:06pm Tom from Stirling: Just in time, Prog time.
	7:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Going back to the early~mid1960s ...I'd characterize the Manfreds as having some backgrounds in Jazz - & going into the Vocal ~ Gittar Pop which literally conquered the World in the British Invasion. A lot like TheZombies. TradJazz was a trend in England before the Beatles & the Blues / R&B revival centered in London with the Stones & yARdbiRdS et al. JackBruce passed thru Manfred Mann...
	7:07pm Tom from Stirling: Yardbird
	🤯 ♥ 7:07pm G: ↳ Song: "Konekuf" by "Manfred Mann Chapter Three" Blinded by the sound…
	🤯 ♥ 7:08pm tim: ↳ Song: "Konekuf" by "Manfred Mann Chapter Three" This is my favorite Manfred Mann song to date!
	🤯 ♥ 7:08pm Folsom: ↳ Song: "Konekuf" by "Manfred Mann Chapter Three" I'm hearing a little Ornette in this.
	🤯 ♥ 7:09pm ultradamno: A band called Chameleons should be effectively inaudible for their ability to match the ambient sounds in the room.
	🤯 ♥ 7:09pm G: ↳ Song: "Konekuf" by "Manfred Mann Chapter Three" FWIW, the title backwards is “Fuken ok”
	7:09pm A➡B: Evening Dave & Prog-claimers! While hearing Harry Parmenter on his Funhouse show last night playing side one of Tangerine Dream's "Rubycon", I started wondering about where New Age falls on a Venn diagram with Prog in terms of the individual elements that make up each genre.
	7:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...not unlike early Rawk'n'Roll & Billy - ferinstance Bill Haley coming out of KuntrySwing ...& many times to Record you'd get some Delinquent kid on Vocals fronting older Jazzbo Musicians. Such as might be heard on Fool'sParadise sometimes here... & no doubt BeBoppers doing R&B to try & make a dollar sometimes...
	7:10pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Folsom @7:08 Is that it, something really familiar to me?
	♥ 7:10pm DjLorraine: Hey
	7:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Folsom @7:08 Some 'LonelyWoman' type lilt...
	♥ 7:11pm Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Song: "Konekuf" by "Manfred Mann Chapter Three" 1. Hard to believe this is Manfred Mann after hearing only his radio hits. 2. Manfred Mann, the Art Blakey of prog?
	🤯 ♥ 7:11pm dale: ooh, first renaissance?
	🤯 ♥ 7:11pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @7:09 Great show....I think you were completing my sentences at one point!
	🤯 ♥ 7:12pm Coach32sm: My wife, Annie Haslam
	7:12pm Glistener MW: the Renaissance men are coming to town!
	🤯 ♥ 7:12pm SeaCreature: Checking in! Prog at the shore
	🤯 ♥ 7:12pm dale: renaissance/illusion.....jane is keith's sister. jim mccarty is in it too.
	♥ 7:13pm Mike Sin: It always seems like Manfred Mann was torn between the benefits of commercial success and His desire to pursue his jazz and progressive impulses. Even in the early days, There was a balance of chart friendly tracks And more adventurous instrumentals.
	7:14pm laurapanic: I've been a Renaissance listener since hearing them here a few years back. A woman in prog is a bit rare, and got my interest.
	🤯 ♥ 7:14pm dale: louis cennamo on bass.
	♥ 7:14pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Five Percent for Nothing" by "Yes" Wasn't Renaissance the band that Keith was playing with when he bought the farm?
	♥ 7:14pm Derek Westerholm: Joining the chatroom party! Hello all! Great show!
	♥ 7:15pm Dave Mandl: And a big hello to: ultradamno, Coach, tim, dale, bleubombersune, common, chresti, Troy, Will, Holly, steveo, Ochre, Tom, RRN63, G, Folsom, A=>B, Lorraine, Peter, MW, SeaCreature, Mike Sin!, laurapanic, Franco, Derek!
	♥ 7:15pm Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Franco Twinkie @7:14 Yes.
	🤯 ♥ 7:15pm dale: thanks dave. i know i've been pestering you to hear them.
	♥ 7:15pm Dave Mandl: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @7:15 Electrocuted on stage, right?
	🤯 ♥ 7:15pm tim: ↳ Song: "Innocence" by "Renaissance" Annie Haslam Renaissance was played often on the AOR station I listened to as a teen. Marillion was in pretty high rotation too.
	🤯 ♥ 7:15pm Coach32sm: Not the same without her!!!
	♥ 7:15pm Dave Mandl: ↳ dale @7:15 My pleasure.
	🤯 ♥ 7:16pm SeaCreature: I recall seeing this in the import bin at Sam Goody.
	7:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Annie Haslam to appear with Asia : www.facebook.com...
	🤯 ♥ 7:16pm tim: ↳ laurapanic @7:14 Hey Laura!
	🤯 ♥ 7:16pm Will thee SG OCNY: I've heard some Renaissance through the years... In the past few years I've been working with their current keyboard player in some of his other bands. He's a really nice guy and a hell of a player
	7:17pm Ochre Ogre: The early and few mid 70's Renaissance Lp's I still like. The song "A Trip to the Fare," classic, kinda creepy.
	♥ 7:17pm Dave Mandl: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @7:16 Annie was good friends with John Wetton (of Asia), so this makes some sense.
	♥ 7:17pm Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Dave Mandl @7:15 I don't know the answer to that... give me a minute to DuckDuckGo it, because Mark Hurst sez I shouldn't Google.
	♥ 7:18pm Dave Mandl: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @7:17 I'm a DDG guy, myself. It's fine, maybe better than Google.
	7:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Good Jim McCarty interview - much on KeithRelf & all related bands : thestrangebrew.co.uk...
	♥ 7:20pm Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Dave Mandl @7:18 Anyway... Wikipedia sez Relf died in his house, playing an u ungrounded electric guitar. What a shame, what a talent.
	🤯 ♥ 7:20pm Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ Song: "Innocence" by "Renaissance" Definitely was a tasty tune
	🤯 ♥ 7:21pm tim: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @7:16 That's really cool, Will.
	7:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @7:20 Higher voltage in the UK ! ...One learns to let go of your gittar strings before contacting microphones if you can...
	♥ 7:22pm Dave Mandl: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @7:20 I knew about that but I was sure it it happened on stage. A tragedy either way.
	🤯 ♥ 7:22pm tim: ↳ Song: "Freitag" by "Rufus Zuphall" I hope they dress like Rufus Thomas though.
	♥ 7:23pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Dave Mandl @7:22 My mind takes me back to Random Notes in Rolling Stone when I was a teenager. There was a picture of Keith on stage at some festival wearing black leather. Why do I remember these things!?
	🤯 ♥ 7:23pm Coach32sm: Very "This Was" for sure.
	♥ 7:24pm Dave Mandl: ↳ Coach32sm @7:23 Definitely.
	7:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @7:21 ...try not to be part of an Electrical Circuit between different devices or systems. Those thrown in enormous sparks perhaps more fortunate than those paralyzed & still gripping...
	7:24pm Troy: ↳ Song: "Freitag" by "Rufus Zuphall" Rufus Zuphall Would be a great cat name.
	♥ 7:25pm Dave Mandl: ↳ Troy @7:24 You can make that happen.
	🤯 ♥ 7:26pm erictheise: hello Dave & all you compli-chatters.
	♥ 7:26pm Dave Mandl: ↳ erictheise @7:26 Hey erictheise.
	7:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Also love the Armageddon with KeithRelf - which had some Venn with member(s) of CaptainBeyond. Tho I am not your Pete Frame to illustrate this...
	🤯 ♥ 7:27pm tim: ↳ Song: "Freitag" by "Rufus Zuphall" This is my favorite of the show so far!
	7:27pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Song: "Freitag" by "Rufus Zuphall" Holy J T Anderson!
	7:28pm mic_a: Hello Dave & Pro-Goes! I see a real interesting looking set I've been missing.
	7:29pm Dean: The flute and ostinato-like rhythm at the beginning of the track sounded not unlike a track on one of Camel's early albums.
	♥ 7:29pm Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @7:21 From what I've read, early Fender amplifiers caused shocks because no grounding: only 2-pronged plugs.
	🤯 ♥ 7:29pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Dave and all. What time signature is happening now? 😉 pm1.narvii.com...
	🤯 ♥ 7:29pm San Pedro Girl: Hi Dave and. This is great!
	🤯 ♥ 7:30pm Coach32sm: Yes, Tull!!!!!!!!
	7:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @7:29 Oof. Long since standard of course.
	7:31pm Bort Simpson: Dave, if you ever find a CD of 'Milky Way Moses' by Tasavallan Presidentti, see the booklet – there's a comic in it that describes a prog radio show like this ;>
	🤯 ♥ 7:31pm ultradamno: Tull in Rock & Roll Circus looked like a band that would sound like Trout Mask Replica Magic Band
	♥ 7:31pm Dave Mandl: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @7:29 Oh, I missed this question. I know at one point they were playing in 7/8.
	♥ 7:31pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @7:24 Omg, I've been shocked by mics so many times... Sparks and all... Guess I'll have to be more careful, instant death/paralysis isn't the first thing in mind when you're busy musicmaking
	♥ 7:31pm Dave Mandl: ↳ San Pedro Girl @7:29 Hey, SPG. Thanks.
	7:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ ultradamno @7:31 Tony Iommi there !
	7:32pm Dean: I loathed Tull until about four or five years ago. Then suddenly, I understood. This was due in part to an interview Rick Wakeman did with Ian Anderson in which IA confessed/admitted to the shortcomings that had contaminated my reception of the band. Those old albums are fantastic. After Gift, Tomorrow's Gift? One day?
	7:32pm Tom from Stirling: ↳ ultradamno @7:31 Mad troubadours
	7:32pm Dean: Milky Way Moses, great album.
	♥ 7:32pm Dave Mandl: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @7:31 Yes indeed. Played in Tull for maybe a few weeks. He has only good things to say about that now.
	♥ 7:33pm Dave Mandl: ↳ Dean @7:32 I don't think I know them. I'll look 'em up, thanks.
	🤯 ♥ 7:33pm ultradamno: I always recall that Lester Bangs wrote that Anderson called Mingus a buffoon or words to that effect
	♥ 7:33pm Dave Mandl: ↳ Dean @7:32 There are a bunch of very different Tulls. They absolutely kicked ass for a while.
	7:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Another thing feared when a Current passes thru you - is if it crosses your heart. They advice against that...
	🤯 ♥ 7:34pm tim: ↳ ultradamno @7:31 Right! I was thinking that that version of Tull would want us to misbehave in order to hear some Tull. This ain't no bungle in the jungle, Jack!
	♥ 7:34pm Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @7:31 Yeah. Wonder what might have happened with Tull if Iommi had stuck around. Mind you, I love Black Sabbath's first 5 rekkids.
	7:34pm Dean: Tomorrow's Gift: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RDOj-TsTMg
	♥ 7:34pm Dave Mandl: ↳ ultradamno @7:33 That would be unfortunate. He was a big fan of Roland Kirk, obvs.
	7:34pm Ochre Ogre: This Was, Stand Up, Benefit and Aqualung still on my shelf.
	7:35pm Dean: Oh, yes, there are Tulls and Tulls, but I mean the not-that-much-later ones, e.g., Aqualung or Living In the Past.
	♥ 7:35pm Franco Twinkie: Lester Bangs!? inferring SOMEONE ELSE was a buffoon?
	♥ 7:35pm Ciggy: ↳ Song: "Innocence" by "Renaissance" Just checked in. Glad to see Renaissance has placed on the scoreboard. I see Dale is pleased. So am I.
	🤯 ♥ 7:35pm ultradamno: ↳ Franco Twinkie @7:35 No, Bangs wasn't saying it, he was saying Ian Anderson said it.
	♥ 7:36pm Franco Twinkie: For cryin' out loud...
	7:36pm Dean: Drastic change of direction would be Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
	🤯 ♥ 7:36pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @7:35 It's in the Psychotic Reactions book, I'm pretty sure.
	🤯 ♥ 7:36pm tim: ↳ ultradamno @7:35 I bet he was stirring the pot - haha!
	7:37pm laurapanic: ↳ Derek Westerholm @7:14 hi Derek!
	🤯 ♥ 7:37pm ultradamno: Well, he was never above that.
	7:37pm laurapanic: ↳ tim @7:16 hi Tim!
	🤯 ♥ 7:37pm SeaCreature: I loved this one!
	🤯 ♥ 7:38pm Coach32sm: I went up to Heavy Horses!!
	🤯 ♥ 7:38pm chresti: I had Thick as a Brick.
	🤯 ♥ 7:38pm listener phat in Lincoln: Hi all! I've been listening, been doing laundry. Also, my first concert was Jethro Tull, at the Worcester Centrum. Honeymoon Suite opened!
	♥ 7:38pm Dave Mandl: ↳ Dean @7:36 That'll be on next week's show.
	7:38pm mic_a: A grounded plug on your amp is no assurance against shocks. Believe me... nrt nrt nrt.
	🤯 ♥ 7:39pm dale: i only bought war child when it came out. i was kind of underwhelmed and never explored them more.
	7:39pm mic_a: Jethro Giant
	🤯 ♥ 7:40pm tim: Does a capella prog exist?
	7:40pm John Davison: A lot of people consider _Songs from the Wood_ to be JT's peak. I'm not in that club (yet). I tried listening to the first 25 minutes of Ian Anderson's _Thick as a Brick 2_ last week and couldn't bring myself to finish it.
	🤯 ♥ 7:40pm SeaCreature: Dropped after heavy horses, then who of all people shows up in the band:Eddie Jobson!
	♥ 7:40pm Dave Mandl: ↳ tim @7:40 Gentle Giant did a lot of that.
	7:40pm Steve: ↳ Song: "Songs from the Wood" by "Jethro Tull" Mary Timony's Amoeba Records "What's In Your Bag?" video got me to check this out. It's great. Are Tull's other folk/prog albums this good?
	7:40pm Dean: "Knots"
	7:40pm laurapanic: ↳ Bort Simpson @7:31 tried to find it online with no luck!
	7:40pm Tom from Stirling: ↳ tim @7:40 Leave it
	♥ 7:40pm Listener Jonny in MA............. d-_-b: ↳ Song: "Songs from the Wood" by "Jethro Tull" loving it, as i always do.
	♥ 7:41pm Dave Mandl: ↳ Dean @7:40 Yup. Also "On Reflection" and probably a few others.
	7:41pm Troy: ↳ Song: "Songs from the Wood" by "Jethro Tull" This was a musical staple for my gang.
	🤯 ♥ 7:41pm San Pedro Girl: Sounds better than I remember it. Older ears hearing better.
	🤯 ♥ 7:41pm tim: ↳ Tom from Stirling @7:40 Hahaha! Genuine question which I hoped wouldn't be followed with examples - haha!
	7:41pm Dean: I dig Thick As a Brick, and if I remember correctly, I didn't mind A Passion Play all that much at the time. Oh, hell, yeah. "On Reflection," and the rest of that glorious album, decidedly not a capella, however.
	7:42pm mic_a: How about Petra Haden's vocal work?
	🤯 ♥ 7:42pm SeaCreature: ↳ Dave Mandl @7:41 And his last voyage. Action packed that free hand record
	♥ 7:42pm Listener Jonny in MA............. d-_-b: ↳ Steve @7:40 I mean, I love the Aqualung album. It's not so overtly "prog" but it's a solid album. I love it for "Hymn 43".
	7:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Songs from the Wood" by "Jethro Tull" I like the BaroqueFolk bent of this whole thing. It's both ornate & Rawkin'. One thing that dates stuff doublequick for me I really don't like tho - is certain Electronic Keyboard tones...
	🤯 ♥ 7:42pm tim: ↳ Dave Mandl @7:40 Thanks! I was just curious.
	🤯 ♥ 7:43pm ultradamno: ↳ tim @7:40 The 180Gs have done Trout Mask Replica, Commercial Album and Dark Side a capella davidminnick1.bandcamp.com...
	7:43pm Tom from Stirling: ↳ tim @7:41 Haha! Yeah, just heard that sung yesterday. It's fun.
	7:43pm Dean: folk-prog Gryphon Not sure they do a capella, though.
	7:43pm Ochre Ogre: At the end of "A Passion Play" concert, band left the stage, but there was a phone on a small table, ringing. Ian Anderson came out picked it up, held out the receiver to the audience and said, "It's for you."
	🤯 ♥ 7:43pm chresti: I got Thick as a Brick from a friend that was giving it away
	🤯 ♥ 7:44pm tim: Speaking of prog, did anyone catch in the FMU newsletter that Sheila B's prog band is playing soon?
	7:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ ultradamno @7:43 Whut ? Wow. I'm trying to get PetraHaden to do 'ForeverChanges'. Purely by mentioning it here...
	🤯 ♥ 7:44pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ tim @7:44 Oh man!
	🤯 ♥ 7:45pm Coach32sm: Ian Anderson played everything. I remember he push John Evans away from keyboards and played keyboards on big Thick as a Brick part. Always front and center. I remember the big Mickey Mouse cymbals too
	♥ 7:45pm Dave Mandl: ↳ tim @7:44 They are indeed. I'm not supposed to mention this, but one of my bands is on that bill.
	7:45pm Tom from Stirling: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @7:44 She does King Crimson. So good.
	7:46pm Dean: Sheila Tull?! Jethro B?! Gentle Sheila?! Do name the band, please. Oh, King B! That works.
	7:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Tom from Stirling @7:45 Oh right ! She does 'Red' ??
	7:46pm A➡B: ↳ ultradamno @7:43 Props to Rich in Washington for giving it plenty of rotation!
	7:46pm Dean: Oh, wait, Petra Haden does Crimson. Crossed wires. ZAP!
	🤯 ♥ 7:46pm ultradamno: ↳ A➡B @7:46 Yep
	♥ 7:46pm Dave Mandl: ↳ Dean @7:46 Sheila's band is called Alân.
	🤯 ♥ 7:47pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Dave Mandl @7:45 ‼️
	🤯 ♥ 7:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: At the Tull concert I attended, they had an astronaut walk across the stage, plant a flag in the corner and then exit. I also remember a bass solo from that night.
	7:47pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "La Gash Lagoon" by "Dragon" OK I had no idea OUR Dragon were prog. They went on to be a rock band, then pop band with many hits. Jesus.
	🤯 ♥ 7:47pm dale: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @7:42 strawbs 'from the witchwood' should be up your alley then, too.
	🤯 ♥ 7:47pm listener phat in Lincoln: Why did I not move to the east coast when I had the chance?
	7:47pm Dean: ...Turkish for Area.
	♥ 7:47pm Dave Mandl: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @7:47 A bass solo? That's very unusual for them.
	7:47pm dday: Baroque / Madrigal spiced with a little sledgehammer metal. Anderson & co. was masterful for so many lp's
	🤯 ♥ 7:47pm tim: ↳ Dave Mandl @7:45 Woah! Very cool! I'm envisioning Sheila's band doing a live set on It's Complicated!
	7:47pm Tom from Stirling: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @7:46 Think so. And others
	🤯 ♥ 7:48pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @7:47 (Not an actual astronaut, but a dude in a space suit.)
	7:48pm John Davison: John Evan's showmanship could give Ian Anderson a run for his money.
	7:48pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "La Gash Lagoon" by "Dragon" A big hit was "Are You Old Enough" one of many creepy hits of the 70s by various men.
	7:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ dale @7:47 The more Strawbs I hear the more I wanna hear.
	🤯 ♥ 7:49pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "La Gash Lagoon" by "Dragon" Digging this
	7:49pm Dean: A thick morass of Baroque prog is RDM's Contamination, which delivers Bach in mid-'70s Italian prog mode.
	7:49pm Tom from Stirling: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @7:48 Strawbs are really good. Anyone on this comments board would like them.
	🤯 ♥ 7:50pm tim: ↳ laurapanic @7:48 Grody!
	♥ 7:50pm Dave Mandl: ↳ John Davison @7:48 Right, he was a real ham, in a good way.
	🤯 ♥ 7:50pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Dave Mandl @7:47 Just a short interlude, really. But I remember the notes well to this day.
	7:50pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "La Gash Lagoon" by "Dragon" Dragon were like an Aussie rock institution. This is blowing my mind. I had no idea. "April Sun in Cuba" might be their biggest pop hit.
	7:50pm A➡B: ↳ ultradamno @7:46 The thing is, to me, they're a unique caliber of acapella group who's sound lies somewhere between The Nylons & Oingo Boingo.
	7:50pm dday: ↳ Tom from Stirling @7:49 I saw them on both The Hero & Heroine & Ghosts tours. Amazing band
	♥ 7:51pm Dave Mandl: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @7:50 What year? Probably John Glascock, who was an amazing bassist.
	7:51pm laurapanic: but there are many notable bands, I've discovered from this show, that did the "prog to rock pop" pipeline. PROG DOESNT PAY
	🤯 ♥ 7:51pm ultradamno: Is it time for Kraut Rock Kids yet? They look out there.
	🤯 ♥ 7:52pm tim: I've got to tackle some prog adjacent dishes. Thanks for the dream show, Dave!
	7:52pm Dean: Strawbs, which featured Rick Wakeman early on, never mind Sandy Denny, were widely promoted, but somehow didn't attract the attention of similarly promoted bands (Supertramp, Genesis, etc.). Good to see that they are enduring and finding new fans.
	♥ 7:53pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Songs from the Wood" by "Jethro Tull" The last time my mother ever came to dinner at my house was Christmas 2019. After dinner I plonked the records she gave my sister and I for Xmas 1969 - 50 years before. Four Sail by Love, Led Zeppelin 2, Elephant Mountain by The Youngbloods AND Stand Up by Jethro Tull. She examined each album like they were pieces of space junk that landed on the kitchen table. When she opened the gatefold of Stand up, and the dye cut band members popped up like a birthday card, she said "WHAT'S THIS!?" and proceeded to rip the album cover to pieces. I have it on video.
	7:53pm Dean: Jan Turkenburg plays Ekseption almost every week.
	🤯 ♥ 7:53pm Coach32sm: Early Strawbs RULE!!!!!. Saw them a lot but not real good live!!!
	🤯 ♥ 7:53pm dale: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @7:48 witchwood was the last album with wakeman, he was moonlighting with yes.
	7:53pm Tom from Stirling: ↳ dday @7:50 Yup, They played at a little place in Boonton, NJ of all places some years back. The two Daves and Chas Cronk. So very good. Very folky.
	🤯 ♥ 7:54pm dale: ....which you probably knew because you are a 60s/70s music buff.
	🤯 ♥ 7:54pm SeaCreature: Exceptional show, dave
	🤯 ♥ 7:54pm chresti: ↳ tim @7:52 a Prog dish would be something like kidney pie?
	7:54pm dday: I recall a afreind seeing Tull at Sussex County Community College. He always busts my chops that I missed that show, so close to home
	7:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Franco Twinkie @7:53 HaHa ! Guess she figured she bought 'em she had rights...
	🤯 ♥ 7:54pm Coach32sm: Always felt that Dave Cousins was like Ian Anderson, a tyrant that wanted it his way only hence so many band members leaving!!!!
	🤯 ♥ 7:55pm tim: ↳ chresti @7:54 Ha!
	♥ 7:55pm Dave Mandl: Thanks so much for the lively conversation, all. Have a spectacular week.
	🤯 ♥ 7:55pm ultradamno: I got Throbbing Gristle's 20 Jazz Funk Greats as an x-mas gift once. I assume she just thought they were nice young people.
	7:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ dale @7:54 No ! Good to be informed there.
	7:55pm Troy: Thanks for another great show Dave!
	7:56pm drumbone: Another great show, Dave. Not super Complicated, but cool nonetheless. Thanks!!!!.
	7:56pm A➡B: Speaking of Aqualung, "Locomotive Breath" hit the inner ear of my memory banks yesterday while mowing the lawn... ...then I got an idea to use it in a mashup with Talking Heads' "Psycho Killer". Might get on top of that someday!
	🤯 ♥ 7:56pm chresti: Thanks Dave!
	7:56pm Dean: When can we think about simplifying this weekly routine and extending the show to five or six hours?
	7:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Piece for Symphonic and Rock Group in A Minor" by... Made me think of Boowie's 'Low' opener one second...
	7:57pm Listener Robert: ↳ Song: "Piece for Symphonic and Rock Group in A Minor" by... Sounds a little like 1812.
	🤯 ♥ 7:57pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "La Gash Lagoon" by "Dragon" Thanks Dave! Bye for now, complicated friends.
	♥ 7:57pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks Dave, loved the show.

	🤯 ♥ 7:03pm HollyRT: Hiya
	♥ 7:03pm Dave Mandl: Greetings, friends. Thanks for joining me.
	🤯 ♥ 7:04pm Coach32sm: He loved Brass
	♥ 7:04pm Dave Mandl: ↳ tim @7:03 True! Including that Springsteen cover.
	♥ 7:05pm steveo: ↳ Song: "Konekuf" by "Manfred Mann Chapter Three" very interesting! hello!
	🤯 ♥ 7:05pm tim: ↳ Dave Mandl @7:04 This is not a dis but Manfred Mann were musical chameleons.
	7:05pm Ochre Ogre: Hi Dave! That Vertigo swirl label always made me dizzy.
	♥ 7:06pm Dave Mandl: ↳ Ochre Ogre @7:05 Haha. To prepare you for the music, I guess.
	7:06pm Tom from Stirling: Just in time, Prog time.
	7:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Going back to the early~mid1960s ...I'd characterize the Manfreds as having some backgrounds in Jazz - & going into the Vocal ~ Gittar Pop which literally conquered the World in the British Invasion. A lot like TheZombies. TradJazz was a trend in England before the Beatles & the Blues / R&B revival centered in London with the Stones & yARdbiRdS et al. JackBruce passed thru Manfred Mann...
	7:07pm Tom from Stirling: Yardbird
	🤯 ♥ 7:07pm G: ↳ Song: "Konekuf" by "Manfred Mann Chapter Three" Blinded by the sound…
	🤯 ♥ 7:08pm tim: ↳ Song: "Konekuf" by "Manfred Mann Chapter Three" This is my favorite Manfred Mann song to date!
	🤯 ♥ 7:08pm Folsom: ↳ Song: "Konekuf" by "Manfred Mann Chapter Three" I'm hearing a little Ornette in this.
	🤯 ♥ 7:09pm ultradamno: A band called Chameleons should be effectively inaudible for their ability to match the ambient sounds in the room.
	🤯 ♥ 7:09pm G: ↳ Song: "Konekuf" by "Manfred Mann Chapter Three" FWIW, the title backwards is “Fuken ok”
	7:09pm A➡B: Evening Dave & Prog-claimers! While hearing Harry Parmenter on his Funhouse show last night playing side one of Tangerine Dream's "Rubycon", I started wondering about where New Age falls on a Venn diagram with Prog in terms of the individual elements that make up each genre.
	7:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...not unlike early Rawk'n'Roll & Billy - ferinstance Bill Haley coming out of KuntrySwing ...& many times to Record you'd get some Delinquent kid on Vocals fronting older Jazzbo Musicians. Such as might be heard on Fool'sParadise sometimes here... & no doubt BeBoppers doing R&B to try & make a dollar sometimes...
	7:10pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Folsom @7:08 Is that it, something really familiar to me?
	♥ 7:10pm DjLorraine: Hey
	7:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Folsom @7:08 Some 'LonelyWoman' type lilt...
	♥ 7:11pm Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Song: "Konekuf" by "Manfred Mann Chapter Three" 1. Hard to believe this is Manfred Mann after hearing only his radio hits. 2. Manfred Mann, the Art Blakey of prog?
	🤯 ♥ 7:11pm dale: ooh, first renaissance?
	🤯 ♥ 7:11pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @7:09 Great show....I think you were completing my sentences at one point!
	🤯 ♥ 7:12pm Coach32sm: My wife, Annie Haslam
	7:12pm Glistener MW: the Renaissance men are coming to town!
	🤯 ♥ 7:12pm SeaCreature: Checking in! Prog at the shore
	🤯 ♥ 7:12pm dale: renaissance/illusion.....jane is keith's sister. jim mccarty is in it too.
	♥ 7:13pm Mike Sin: It always seems like Manfred Mann was torn between the benefits of commercial success and His desire to pursue his jazz and progressive impulses. Even in the early days, There was a balance of chart friendly tracks And more adventurous instrumentals.
	7:14pm laurapanic: I've been a Renaissance listener since hearing them here a few years back. A woman in prog is a bit rare, and got my interest.
	🤯 ♥ 7:14pm dale: louis cennamo on bass.
	♥ 7:14pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Five Percent for Nothing" by "Yes" Wasn't Renaissance the band that Keith was playing with when he bought the farm?
	♥ 7:14pm Derek Westerholm: Joining the chatroom party! Hello all! Great show!
	♥ 7:15pm Dave Mandl: And a big hello to: ultradamno, Coach, tim, dale, bleubombersune, common, chresti, Troy, Will, Holly, steveo, Ochre, Tom, RRN63, G, Folsom, A=>B, Lorraine, Peter, MW, SeaCreature, Mike Sin!, laurapanic, Franco, Derek!
	♥ 7:15pm Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Franco Twinkie @7:14 Yes.
	🤯 ♥ 7:15pm dale: thanks dave. i know i've been pestering you to hear them.
	♥ 7:15pm Dave Mandl: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @7:15 Electrocuted on stage, right?
	🤯 ♥ 7:15pm tim: ↳ Song: "Innocence" by "Renaissance" Annie Haslam Renaissance was played often on the AOR station I listened to as a teen. Marillion was in pretty high rotation too.
	🤯 ♥ 7:15pm Coach32sm: Not the same without her!!!
	♥ 7:15pm Dave Mandl: ↳ dale @7:15 My pleasure.
	🤯 ♥ 7:16pm SeaCreature: I recall seeing this in the import bin at Sam Goody.
	7:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Annie Haslam to appear with Asia : www.facebook.com...
	🤯 ♥ 7:16pm tim: ↳ laurapanic @7:14 Hey Laura!
	🤯 ♥ 7:16pm Will thee SG OCNY: I've heard some Renaissance through the years... In the past few years I've been working with their current keyboard player in some of his other bands. He's a really nice guy and a hell of a player
	7:17pm Ochre Ogre: The early and few mid 70's Renaissance Lp's I still like. The song "A Trip to the Fare," classic, kinda creepy.
	♥ 7:17pm Dave Mandl: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @7:16 Annie was good friends with John Wetton (of Asia), so this makes some sense.
	♥ 7:17pm Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Dave Mandl @7:15 I don't know the answer to that... give me a minute to DuckDuckGo it, because Mark Hurst sez I shouldn't Google.
	♥ 7:18pm Dave Mandl: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @7:17 I'm a DDG guy, myself. It's fine, maybe better than Google.
	7:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Good Jim McCarty interview - much on KeithRelf & all related bands : thestrangebrew.co.uk...
	♥ 7:20pm Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Dave Mandl @7:18 Anyway... Wikipedia sez Relf died in his house, playing an u ungrounded electric guitar. What a shame, what a talent.
	🤯 ♥ 7:20pm Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ Song: "Innocence" by "Renaissance" Definitely was a tasty tune
	🤯 ♥ 7:21pm tim: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @7:16 That's really cool, Will.
	7:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @7:20 Higher voltage in the UK ! ...One learns to let go of your gittar strings before contacting microphones if you can...
	♥ 7:22pm Dave Mandl: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @7:20 I knew about that but I was sure it it happened on stage. A tragedy either way.
	🤯 ♥ 7:22pm tim: ↳ Song: "Freitag" by "Rufus Zuphall" I hope they dress like Rufus Thomas though.
	♥ 7:23pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Dave Mandl @7:22 My mind takes me back to Random Notes in Rolling Stone when I was a teenager. There was a picture of Keith on stage at some festival wearing black leather. Why do I remember these things!?
	🤯 ♥ 7:23pm Coach32sm: Very "This Was" for sure.
	♥ 7:24pm Dave Mandl: ↳ Coach32sm @7:23 Definitely.
	7:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @7:21 ...try not to be part of an Electrical Circuit between different devices or systems. Those thrown in enormous sparks perhaps more fortunate than those paralyzed & still gripping...
	7:24pm Troy: ↳ Song: "Freitag" by "Rufus Zuphall" Rufus Zuphall Would be a great cat name.
	♥ 7:25pm Dave Mandl: ↳ Troy @7:24 You can make that happen.
	🤯 ♥ 7:26pm erictheise: hello Dave & all you compli-chatters.
	♥ 7:26pm Dave Mandl: ↳ erictheise @7:26 Hey erictheise.
	7:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Also love the Armageddon with KeithRelf - which had some Venn with member(s) of CaptainBeyond. Tho I am not your Pete Frame to illustrate this...
	🤯 ♥ 7:27pm tim: ↳ Song: "Freitag" by "Rufus Zuphall" This is my favorite of the show so far!
	7:27pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Song: "Freitag" by "Rufus Zuphall" Holy J T Anderson!
	7:28pm mic_a: Hello Dave & Pro-Goes! I see a real interesting looking set I've been missing.
	7:29pm Dean: The flute and ostinato-like rhythm at the beginning of the track sounded not unlike a track on one of Camel's early albums.
	♥ 7:29pm Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @7:21 From what I've read, early Fender amplifiers caused shocks because no grounding: only 2-pronged plugs.
	🤯 ♥ 7:29pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Dave and all. What time signature is happening now? 😉 pm1.narvii.com...
	🤯 ♥ 7:29pm San Pedro Girl: Hi Dave and. This is great!
	🤯 ♥ 7:30pm Coach32sm: Yes, Tull!!!!!!!!
	7:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @7:29 Oof. Long since standard of course.
	7:31pm Bort Simpson: Dave, if you ever find a CD of 'Milky Way Moses' by Tasavallan Presidentti, see the booklet – there's a comic in it that describes a prog radio show like this ;>
	🤯 ♥ 7:31pm ultradamno: Tull in Rock & Roll Circus looked like a band that would sound like Trout Mask Replica Magic Band
	♥ 7:31pm Dave Mandl: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @7:29 Oh, I missed this question. I know at one point they were playing in 7/8.
	♥ 7:31pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @7:24 Omg, I've been shocked by mics so many times... Sparks and all... Guess I'll have to be more careful, instant death/paralysis isn't the first thing in mind when you're busy musicmaking
	♥ 7:31pm Dave Mandl: ↳ San Pedro Girl @7:29 Hey, SPG. Thanks.
	7:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ ultradamno @7:31 Tony Iommi there !
	7:32pm Dean: I loathed Tull until about four or five years ago. Then suddenly, I understood. This was due in part to an interview Rick Wakeman did with Ian Anderson in which IA confessed/admitted to the shortcomings that had contaminated my reception of the band. Those old albums are fantastic. After Gift, Tomorrow's Gift? One day?
	7:32pm Tom from Stirling: ↳ ultradamno @7:31 Mad troubadours
	7:32pm Dean: Milky Way Moses, great album.
	♥ 7:32pm Dave Mandl: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @7:31 Yes indeed. Played in Tull for maybe a few weeks. He has only good things to say about that now.
	♥ 7:33pm Dave Mandl: ↳ Dean @7:32 I don't think I know them. I'll look 'em up, thanks.
	🤯 ♥ 7:33pm ultradamno: I always recall that Lester Bangs wrote that Anderson called Mingus a buffoon or words to that effect
	♥ 7:33pm Dave Mandl: ↳ Dean @7:32 There are a bunch of very different Tulls. They absolutely kicked ass for a while.
	7:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Another thing feared when a Current passes thru you - is if it crosses your heart. They advice against that...
	🤯 ♥ 7:34pm tim: ↳ ultradamno @7:31 Right! I was thinking that that version of Tull would want us to misbehave in order to hear some Tull. This ain't no bungle in the jungle, Jack!
	♥ 7:34pm Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @7:31 Yeah. Wonder what might have happened with Tull if Iommi had stuck around. Mind you, I love Black Sabbath's first 5 rekkids.
	7:34pm Dean: Tomorrow's Gift: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RDOj-TsTMg
	♥ 7:34pm Dave Mandl: ↳ ultradamno @7:33 That would be unfortunate. He was a big fan of Roland Kirk, obvs.
	7:34pm Ochre Ogre: This Was, Stand Up, Benefit and Aqualung still on my shelf.
	7:35pm Dean: Oh, yes, there are Tulls and Tulls, but I mean the not-that-much-later ones, e.g., Aqualung or Living In the Past.
	♥ 7:35pm Franco Twinkie: Lester Bangs!? inferring SOMEONE ELSE was a buffoon?
	♥ 7:35pm Ciggy: ↳ Song: "Innocence" by "Renaissance" Just checked in. Glad to see Renaissance has placed on the scoreboard. I see Dale is pleased. So am I.
	🤯 ♥ 7:35pm ultradamno: ↳ Franco Twinkie @7:35 No, Bangs wasn't saying it, he was saying Ian Anderson said it.
	♥ 7:36pm Franco Twinkie: For cryin' out loud...
	7:36pm Dean: Drastic change of direction would be Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
	🤯 ♥ 7:36pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @7:35 It's in the Psychotic Reactions book, I'm pretty sure.
	🤯 ♥ 7:36pm tim: ↳ ultradamno @7:35 I bet he was stirring the pot - haha!
	7:37pm laurapanic: ↳ Derek Westerholm @7:14 hi Derek!
	🤯 ♥ 7:37pm ultradamno: Well, he was never above that.
	7:37pm laurapanic: ↳ tim @7:16 hi Tim!
	🤯 ♥ 7:37pm SeaCreature: I loved this one!
	🤯 ♥ 7:38pm Coach32sm: I went up to Heavy Horses!!
	🤯 ♥ 7:38pm chresti: I had Thick as a Brick.
	🤯 ♥ 7:38pm listener phat in Lincoln: Hi all! I've been listening, been doing laundry. Also, my first concert was Jethro Tull, at the Worcester Centrum. Honeymoon Suite opened!
	♥ 7:38pm Dave Mandl: ↳ Dean @7:36 That'll be on next week's show.
	7:38pm mic_a: A grounded plug on your amp is no assurance against shocks. Believe me... nrt nrt nrt.
	🤯 ♥ 7:39pm dale: i only bought war child when it came out. i was kind of underwhelmed and never explored them more.
	7:39pm mic_a: Jethro Giant
	🤯 ♥ 7:40pm tim: Does a capella prog exist?
	7:40pm John Davison: A lot of people consider _Songs from the Wood_ to be JT's peak. I'm not in that club (yet). I tried listening to the first 25 minutes of Ian Anderson's _Thick as a Brick 2_ last week and couldn't bring myself to finish it.
	🤯 ♥ 7:40pm SeaCreature: Dropped after heavy horses, then who of all people shows up in the band:Eddie Jobson!
	♥ 7:40pm Dave Mandl: ↳ tim @7:40 Gentle Giant did a lot of that.
	7:40pm Steve: ↳ Song: "Songs from the Wood" by "Jethro Tull" Mary Timony's Amoeba Records "What's In Your Bag?" video got me to check this out. It's great. Are Tull's other folk/prog albums this good?
	7:40pm Dean: "Knots"
	7:40pm laurapanic: ↳ Bort Simpson @7:31 tried to find it online with no luck!
	7:40pm Tom from Stirling: ↳ tim @7:40 Leave it
	♥ 7:40pm Listener Jonny in MA............. d-_-b: ↳ Song: "Songs from the Wood" by "Jethro Tull" loving it, as i always do.
	♥ 7:41pm Dave Mandl: ↳ Dean @7:40 Yup. Also "On Reflection" and probably a few others.
	7:41pm Troy: ↳ Song: "Songs from the Wood" by "Jethro Tull" This was a musical staple for my gang.
	🤯 ♥ 7:41pm San Pedro Girl: Sounds better than I remember it. Older ears hearing better.
	🤯 ♥ 7:41pm tim: ↳ Tom from Stirling @7:40 Hahaha! Genuine question which I hoped wouldn't be followed with examples - haha!
	7:41pm Dean: I dig Thick As a Brick, and if I remember correctly, I didn't mind A Passion Play all that much at the time. Oh, hell, yeah. "On Reflection," and the rest of that glorious album, decidedly not a capella, however.
	7:42pm mic_a: How about Petra Haden's vocal work?
	🤯 ♥ 7:42pm SeaCreature: ↳ Dave Mandl @7:41 And his last voyage. Action packed that free hand record
	♥ 7:42pm Listener Jonny in MA............. d-_-b: ↳ Steve @7:40 I mean, I love the Aqualung album. It's not so overtly "prog" but it's a solid album. I love it for "Hymn 43".
	7:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Songs from the Wood" by "Jethro Tull" I like the BaroqueFolk bent of this whole thing. It's both ornate & Rawkin'. One thing that dates stuff doublequick for me I really don't like tho - is certain Electronic Keyboard tones...
	🤯 ♥ 7:42pm tim: ↳ Dave Mandl @7:40 Thanks! I was just curious.
	🤯 ♥ 7:43pm ultradamno: ↳ tim @7:40 The 180Gs have done Trout Mask Replica, Commercial Album and Dark Side a capella davidminnick1.bandcamp.com...
	7:43pm Tom from Stirling: ↳ tim @7:41 Haha! Yeah, just heard that sung yesterday. It's fun.
	7:43pm Dean: folk-prog Gryphon Not sure they do a capella, though.
	7:43pm Ochre Ogre: At the end of "A Passion Play" concert, band left the stage, but there was a phone on a small table, ringing. Ian Anderson came out picked it up, held out the receiver to the audience and said, "It's for you."
	🤯 ♥ 7:43pm chresti: I got Thick as a Brick from a friend that was giving it away
	🤯 ♥ 7:44pm tim: Speaking of prog, did anyone catch in the FMU newsletter that Sheila B's prog band is playing soon?
	7:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ ultradamno @7:43 Whut ? Wow. I'm trying to get PetraHaden to do 'ForeverChanges'. Purely by mentioning it here...
	🤯 ♥ 7:44pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ tim @7:44 Oh man!
	🤯 ♥ 7:45pm Coach32sm: Ian Anderson played everything. I remember he push John Evans away from keyboards and played keyboards on big Thick as a Brick part. Always front and center. I remember the big Mickey Mouse cymbals too
	♥ 7:45pm Dave Mandl: ↳ tim @7:44 They are indeed. I'm not supposed to mention this, but one of my bands is on that bill.
	7:45pm Tom from Stirling: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @7:44 She does King Crimson. So good.
	7:46pm Dean: Sheila Tull?! Jethro B?! Gentle Sheila?! Do name the band, please. Oh, King B! That works.
	7:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Tom from Stirling @7:45 Oh right ! She does 'Red' ??
	7:46pm A➡B: ↳ ultradamno @7:43 Props to Rich in Washington for giving it plenty of rotation!
	7:46pm Dean: Oh, wait, Petra Haden does Crimson. Crossed wires. ZAP!
	🤯 ♥ 7:46pm ultradamno: ↳ A➡B @7:46 Yep
	♥ 7:46pm Dave Mandl: ↳ Dean @7:46 Sheila's band is called Alân.
	🤯 ♥ 7:47pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Dave Mandl @7:45 ‼️
	🤯 ♥ 7:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: At the Tull concert I attended, they had an astronaut walk across the stage, plant a flag in the corner and then exit. I also remember a bass solo from that night.
	7:47pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "La Gash Lagoon" by "Dragon" OK I had no idea OUR Dragon were prog. They went on to be a rock band, then pop band with many hits. Jesus.
	🤯 ♥ 7:47pm dale: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @7:42 strawbs 'from the witchwood' should be up your alley then, too.
	🤯 ♥ 7:47pm listener phat in Lincoln: Why did I not move to the east coast when I had the chance?
	7:47pm Dean: ...Turkish for Area.
	♥ 7:47pm Dave Mandl: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @7:47 A bass solo? That's very unusual for them.
	7:47pm dday: Baroque / Madrigal spiced with a little sledgehammer metal. Anderson & co. was masterful for so many lp's
	🤯 ♥ 7:47pm tim: ↳ Dave Mandl @7:45 Woah! Very cool! I'm envisioning Sheila's band doing a live set on It's Complicated!
	7:47pm Tom from Stirling: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @7:46 Think so. And others
	🤯 ♥ 7:48pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @7:47 (Not an actual astronaut, but a dude in a space suit.)
	7:48pm John Davison: John Evan's showmanship could give Ian Anderson a run for his money.
	7:48pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "La Gash Lagoon" by "Dragon" A big hit was "Are You Old Enough" one of many creepy hits of the 70s by various men.
	7:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ dale @7:47 The more Strawbs I hear the more I wanna hear.
	🤯 ♥ 7:49pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "La Gash Lagoon" by "Dragon" Digging this
	7:49pm Dean: A thick morass of Baroque prog is RDM's Contamination, which delivers Bach in mid-'70s Italian prog mode.
	7:49pm Tom from Stirling: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @7:48 Strawbs are really good. Anyone on this comments board would like them.
	🤯 ♥ 7:50pm tim: ↳ laurapanic @7:48 Grody!
	♥ 7:50pm Dave Mandl: ↳ John Davison @7:48 Right, he was a real ham, in a good way.
	🤯 ♥ 7:50pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Dave Mandl @7:47 Just a short interlude, really. But I remember the notes well to this day.
	7:50pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "La Gash Lagoon" by "Dragon" Dragon were like an Aussie rock institution. This is blowing my mind. I had no idea. "April Sun in Cuba" might be their biggest pop hit.
	7:50pm A➡B: ↳ ultradamno @7:46 The thing is, to me, they're a unique caliber of acapella group who's sound lies somewhere between The Nylons & Oingo Boingo.
	7:50pm dday: ↳ Tom from Stirling @7:49 I saw them on both The Hero & Heroine & Ghosts tours. Amazing band
	♥ 7:51pm Dave Mandl: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @7:50 What year? Probably John Glascock, who was an amazing bassist.
	7:51pm laurapanic: but there are many notable bands, I've discovered from this show, that did the "prog to rock pop" pipeline. PROG DOESNT PAY
	🤯 ♥ 7:51pm ultradamno: Is it time for Kraut Rock Kids yet? They look out there.
	🤯 ♥ 7:52pm tim: I've got to tackle some prog adjacent dishes. Thanks for the dream show, Dave!
	7:52pm Dean: Strawbs, which featured Rick Wakeman early on, never mind Sandy Denny, were widely promoted, but somehow didn't attract the attention of similarly promoted bands (Supertramp, Genesis, etc.). Good to see that they are enduring and finding new fans.
	♥ 7:53pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Songs from the Wood" by "Jethro Tull" The last time my mother ever came to dinner at my house was Christmas 2019. After dinner I plonked the records she gave my sister and I for Xmas 1969 - 50 years before. Four Sail by Love, Led Zeppelin 2, Elephant Mountain by The Youngbloods AND Stand Up by Jethro Tull. She examined each album like they were pieces of space junk that landed on the kitchen table. When she opened the gatefold of Stand up, and the dye cut band members popped up like a birthday card, she said "WHAT'S THIS!?" and proceeded to rip the album cover to pieces. I have it on video.
