The Great Gig In The Sky

Pink Floyd keyboardist Rick Wright died today. This is from Wright and David Gilmour doing Arnold Layne from last year. Shine on.

One thing that's great about YouTube is I can see videos of tours I never got to see live. This is Peter Gabriel-era Genesis from 1974. There are several versions of this tune from different tours and venues of varying quality.

An excerpt from Falling Rain Dance by Univers Zero. A Belgian avant-prog band with some heavy jazz influence.

I love prog

And anybody who doesn't like it can kiss my ass. We may be in the waning days of the republic, but tonight there's a balmy breeze wafting through the windows, I have a cold beer and I'm rockin' some classic Camel that I inherited from the late Alan Stewart. Say what you will about prog, but it has held up well over time and it has more influence over subsequent music than anybody will admit.
