So you're not happy then, Mike?

He's not the only one! I've got to sit through this concert in 2 weeks time.
However, I'm heartened by the fact that the tron sample that Ian McDonald
used on the Steve Hackett "Tokyo tapes" concert did sound pretty damn good to
me considering. In fact the version of ITCOTCK they performed was excellent.
I would love to see Steve Hackett play guitar in this band and, of course
Greg Lake on vocals. His voice was so plaintive on the early recordings,
-just right. Everything was right.....Ah....
