I see it's not out until January 26. Available as Vinyl boxset too..but I don't think I need that at £180

Secret Treaties @highwaystaruk.bsky.social · 1d

Oh yeah, that is a fantastic boxset of that amazing quintet on fire. I have a CDr copy but so want the real deal. I'll go look it up 👍

Here's a new post of the 'Epitaph' playback day from 17/3/97. A one off, as got autographs of all 5 inc #PeteSinfield together in a room for the first time since 69. Sat having tea and cakes on a table opposite #GregLake was amazing 👌

Of course you were 👍 days like that you can't buy...

Secret Treaties @highwaystaruk.bsky.social · 1d

Deep Purple
Jimi Hendrix
Miles Davis
Beethoven
Yes
Grateful Dead
Rush
John McLaughlin

Certainly not easy and could do with a bit more thought to cover the many genres I love.

I remember hearing it but frustratingly never taped it. I do have the vinyl bootleg of the part show though.
PS. See my BlueSky post today...I'm sure you were there 👍

A great album with a stellar lineup. I may well search out the vinyl issue 👍

Secret Treaties @highwaystaruk.bsky.social · 2d

Thanks it is one of few treasures I have 👍

Secret Treaties @highwaystaruk.bsky.social · 2d

Yes, you're right there was a correction. But don't remember it now. My recent posting is not clear enough. There is a photo of me with the artwork. I'll look at that.

Love the Are you ready to rock reference by Fri0 👌

Secret Treaties @highwaystaruk.bsky.social · 2d

Yes, it was badly faded after hanging in the EG office for years in sunlight 🫤

Secret Treaties @highwaystaruk.bsky.social · 2d

Excellent...it's going to be album of the day on BlueSky 😁

Secret Treaties @highwaystaruk.bsky.social · 2d

I've never seen them. I don't think they played Bristol which was frustrating.

Secret Treaties @highwaystaruk.bsky.social · 2d

Excellent to have an arm photo 👍😁 but so good to have photos from the event. I have a few inc the LTIA original artwork which I posted the other day.
This being pre phone cameras it was much more difficult. I never took any at the Epitaph playback. Pity, as the ITCOTCK painting was there.

Secret Treaties @highwaystaruk.bsky.social · 2d

🤣 it's a ridiculous amount whatever...

It sure is an unrepeatable moment. So lucky to have been there.

Oh, that's a pity to not have the main man sign them. Not so easy to get it now unless you can do so at a Toyah Fripp gig

👍 Another excellent afternoon 😊

Secret Treaties @highwaystaruk.bsky.social · 2d

It's so neatly signed too 👌

Going by Progarchives website entries there are 94 studio albums from Electronic Meditation to Raum and 63 live ones. Also quite a few box sets and compilations.
Edgar gave them the blessing to carry on after he died..so it's fully legit TD to me.

Secret Treaties @highwaystaruk.bsky.social · 2d

Oh, excellent to find someone else there. It was a special day. I remember Tony Levin being there but never got his autograph. It was such a chilled event.
Did you go to the previous 'Epitaph' playback event?

Secret Treaties @highwaystaruk.bsky.social · 2d

It sure is. I treasure it alongside the 'Epitaph' boxset from a similar playback with all the original members of KC Inc Pete Sinfield. I posted that here a while back.

I've never heard this. Only know the albums. I'll check it out online

My fully signed copy of 'The Night Watch' by #KingCrimson From the playback event in London 1997. An amazing afternoon of tea and cakes with meeting the band and cover artists #PJCrook
