Okey... this is probably way off mark, but I have to try: Troggs with " Love is all around "? I think they released that one in late '68 and finally got recognition when the song was used in the movie "Notting Hill". Albeit that it was a cover version in the movie... but let me add - quite by chanc...

er, nope.. not that one.. one of this artists other tracks (and albums) might go down well in the land of the midnight sun.. (or maybe not...)

thanks, I will check that out! I guess I must have heard it somewhere down the line, but I cant say I remember it - need to work harder on listening!

nice one! perhaps your enquiry will prompt a little activity - you never know! A chance phone call leads to a thought planted leads to... well, lets wait & see!

So.. we're off again:

AFJP (Asia Featuring John Payne)...

he has a legendary status among Asiafans, does JY, being the only keyboardist other than Downes to feature in the Band. I confess to not being to familiar with his work, but it would be interesting to see if he has anything to say about Greenslade & where they're at now..

Well, it's been a great series, Coffee! Thank you. there's not a lot out there about Greenslade is there? Wikipedia has a very limited entry & points to 'the' greenslade website: http://www.angelfire.com/music4/greenslade/index.html but the last on there seems to date from 2002.. Dave G seems to hav...

ok; now this could be easy or difficult! Recorded in September/October '68, this was released in November '68 (great year for music!). It's largely a cult favourite, despite the profile of its oft curmudgeonly singer - with no significant label backing, it failed to achieve significant mainstream su...

I always 'dug' the covers (Roger Dean - what's not to like?!) but I can never recall their music, it doesnt stick in my mind.. Another one to check out! PHew, Coffee, your prog retrospective is leaving me exhausted!! so much to catch up on!

Are they still going after their 'restart' in 2000?

Nope! Although I think (but don't quote me on this) Moody Blues were the first "rock" band to use a full orchestra when recording an album. The one I was looking for here was first to record a Live album with full orchestra! And the answer is... Deep Purple! The album (of which I also gave a hint i...

UFO (spect we've had 'em before - and yet another band of the era that's reforming & recording new materials!)

This is one AMAZING song from the early Yes, so in tune with many 'green' themes today & such a great tune.. I like it all but especially the guitar/organ duel that ends the song..

The classic line up is certainly touring again (including Steve Hillage, who i always thought was a GREAT guitarist). So I wouldnt be surprised if they're going to record something.. I like the 'stoned muppets' quote! Very good! Saw them on the Zero to Infinity tour - in great form... & the Zero to ...

Tend to agree that the Symphonic Tour was great, with the orchestral version of Gates. I enjoyed the OYE tour, cos it was a long time since we'd seen them live in the UK..

The Sabs, ah of course - good one!

so the new clue- are we talking Moody Blues here? Where's Greenglade when you need him - off staking out those peacocks no doubt!

Steve's comments on NFTE pretty much confirm the 60-90minutes per band, which is a dang shame cost it means a VERY short Yes set.. So what would we like to see in it? Lets start with Owner (get it out of the way.. Kind of links to the Asia era anyway) then move on to SSOTS Parallels To be over Astra...

another band to check out, cool! Thanks, Happy!

German proggers better than ELP? Well it's possible.. Are they on the verge of reforming too? MAybe we should start a rumour!

Lets (re) start with the words.. Answers never clear again This turning of the page This turn look away There I took a left turning Before I came of age I agreed to let it out I agreed to let it go I agreed to turn around I agreed to turn my face away Danger is the most important Fear you’ll ever kn...

hmm, it seems Gary Green, Malcolm Mortimore and Kerry Minnear will be doing a show as 'Three Friends' playing Gentle Giant songs in the UK in a place near Brighton.. Sounds really interesting. Might have to check it out!

"peacocks roaming freely in a magical and intimate atmosphere"?

How 'bout "American lunatic w/shotgun and guitar roaming freely with a hunter's intentions"?

hmm, might kind of spoil the vibe!! hahaha!

You might find more of the vibe you're looking for here - http://www.larmertreefestival.co.uk - 15th-19th July I saw this & thought of you!

Iron BUtterfly.. well I dont own it now, but did have it once..

Story goes the guy who wrote it was so stoned when he tried to tell his new song 'in the garden of eden' that it came out as 'inna gadda da veda' man..

Next Yestalker to post has drunk ambrosia with the gods...

Yazoo!

good resuss, Haze! Hmm, not sure which this might be, unless it was 'yes' by 'yes' (you said it was easy! maybe not that easy!!)
