| | | Prog rock in November
Anyone attending Marillion/Saga (in Pratteln, Z7 Konzertfabrik) November 26th?
What about Yes at the Volkhaus in Zürich Nov. 23rd ?
And what about Arena Nov. 12th in Pratteln ?
We can coordinate, get together for drinks before the show, go to the show, and stay together for drinks AFTER the show.  | | The following 2 users would like to thank Caleb for this useful post: | |

Marillion were ok as a Genesis tribute band with Fish but now they've turned into the art school boomtown rats 
But if Lynyrd Skynyrd come over , count me in ....

I'm afraid it's bound to be Geoff Downes. He's not too bad. from the Yes website: "Geoff went to Leeds School of Music in 1971, graduating in 1975, thus becoming the first member of Yes to graduate with a degree in music.". He's a pro !  |

Last (and only) time I saw YES was in CT back in '75.
Saw Rush in Milano in 2004, two two-hour sets with no opening act, great!

Count me in for Marilion and Yes. ElggDK will be there for Marillion as well.
Not sure about Arena, have they got any new material out?

Nothing since 2005/2006 (Pepper's Ghost), their weakest for my taste. Nothing extraordinary since The Visitor, or Contagion, but they're still pretty good.

Pain of Salvation is at the Komplex in Zürich on Nov. 23. They're more on the metal side of prog, but put on a great show. Saw them at Z7 earlier this year. It was great.

Agreed, "Pepper's Ghost" wasn't their best, but it had some good tracks, "Purgatory Road" is my favorite from that CD. Best CD they've released was "The Visitor" back in 1998.

Wow, I've wanted to see them for a long time, never played close enough for me. I'll have to decide between Yes (whom I've seen a few times already) or Pain of Salvation. Damn...  |

Too bad POS will have a shortened opening set. But on the other hand: OPETH!!!
P.S. Sorry for the bad date.
