PNXI – The One In The Box

Or was it in the clouds?

Either way in the midst of a country wide lockdown a gathering was had thanks to the wonders of the steam age.

Dressing gowns were worn, Nepalese cultural appropriation occuranced, Cheersie got the wine in and UT made like a kipper, Flat hosted with the mosted and Popey had pudding.

Basses were covered and no left turn unstoned.

Due to the constraints and time factors etc. there was a one album limit imposed ……how can you only choose one album? But one album each we did choose and the order of play was dictated by none other than the Fez Of Choosing. We may have been under lockdown and in less than optimal conditions but we still got the Fez out.

UT – Rush ‘A Show Of Hands’

MP – Jethro Tull ‘Broadsword And The Beast’

FS – Yes ‘Talk’

PC – Rick Wakeman ‘The Six Wives Of Henry VIII’

After that we called time and retired to our beds….

Points to note – quite a ‘modern selection’, Rick being the only ‘classic’ prog on show, and what a show he put on. There’s some proper wig outs on that album that demand further listenings.

Trevor Rabin makes some of the best noises know to man.

Broadsword has some of everything on it.
