Has anybody seen these guys? I think I recall quite a few postings a few months back and they were quite favorable. Just want to double check. I may be in Georgia at the time and wondered if it was worth a catch. Don't think they use a real Mellotron though
I saw them here in the UK a year or two ago and was very impressed. You're right, they didn't use any tron, but the samples used were pretty much up there with the best. Some considered them to be pretty much a covers band,(no Fripp). But as he seems to have turned his back on the tron epics we all love on this list, they are the closest thing you'll find to the real thing. After all they do have the wonderful Ian MacDonald and other original members of the band. Go, sit back and enjoy! Highlight for me.....Epitaph. Worth the admission price alone.
