The brilliant Jon Anderson and The Band Geeks at Bath Forum last night. His voice is remarkable for 81 🎤 and the band are superb at recreating the great Yes classics starting with Close To The Edge. I so loved the new tracks from 'True' as well. #livemusic #JonAnderson #TheBandGeeks #BathForum

4 shots from Voyage 35 gig last night at #BristolO2Academy. So good to hear these old Porcupine Tree tracks live again by #ColinEdwin and #JohnWesley and two great Italians. First saw PT in 1996 supporting Gong and Ozric Tentacles in Bath. #Livemusic #ProgRock

The wonderful and bonkers Henge at '#ANewDayFestival' in Kent couple weeks ago. A band from outer space with Zpor on vocals, guitar. Goo on bass, synths, Nom an actual sea monster on drums and Sol, an actual human on keyboards 😂 An amazing fun show 👍 #HengeBand #livemusic

The amazingly talented genius Todd Rundgren and his band at the Bristol Beacon 10/9/26 'Damned if I Do' tour Two excellent sets of his greatest tracks. He is still in great voice 🎤 and some great 🎸 solos. I first saw him with Utopia in 1977 at Oxford Poly. #ToddRundgren #livemusic

#nowspinning 'azure d'or' by Renaissance from 1979. After a run of 8 truly great albums this 9th one was the last thats any good to me. #AnnieHaslam still in great voice but shorter less proggy songs. #RenaissanceBand #DailyVinyl #vinylcommunity #vinylcollector #vinyllover #nowplaying

Gave 'Aurora' by Yes another spin again after a few months since release. And really enjoyed it. Its hard to judge it with such an amazing back catalogue. What are you views on it now?

The fantastic double vinyl version of Robin Trower Live. A complete show from Stockholm as it should have been on first release and in the correct track order. Cover photo is misleading though #RobinTrower #vinylcollector #DailyVinyl #nowspinning #LiveDoubleAlbums #BluesRock #vinylcommunity

The brilliant Flor De Loto from Lima in Peru. A wonderful fusion of prog and Andes music. They even did a great cover of Jethro Tulls 'Locomotive Breath'. The flute player was amazing. Check them out....👌

Off to the New Day Festival on Friday. Some great bands from the past and a few I've not seen before. Just a pity Martin Barre pulled out from Friday line-up. So looking forward to The Bevis Frond, as never seen them before. And Hawkwind yet again 👍
