We are delighted to announce that later this year we will be publishing a 'people's history' of Emerson, Lake & Palmer, comprised of first hand accounts from those who were lucky enough to see the band in concert.

If you are an ELP fan with a story to tell, the book's editor would love to hear from you.

You can find out more here: https://spenwoodbooks.com/welcome-back-my-friends-a-peoples-history-of-emerson-lake-palmer/
..and we hope you'll share your memories and help us put together a book that celebrates the music and career of Keith, Greg and Carl.

TMR will perform an Epic variety of favorites from the Very Best of Yes albums + the debut of the *TMR BIG MEDLEY* in celebration of Chris Squire's birthday.

Drummer Joe Cass sheds some light:

"In 1978, Yes famously performed THE BIG MEDLEY, combining various songs, sections, and moments into their 25+ minute version of Long Distance Runaround and the Fish. In 2025, TMR will debut our very own Squire-centric arrangement of songs, sections, and moments in what we are simply labeling the *TMR BIG MEDLEY* It'll be debuted just in time to celebrate Chris Squire's birthday, as we have done something unique and special every year in his honor. As a super fan, I'm already blown away by the material selected and the arrangement we made, I think Yesfans are going to feel the same!"

Additional commentary on the theme of Chris Squire Birthday Tribute Concerts:

TMR has garnered international attention for their dedicated Chris Squire Birthday Tribute Concerts over the last several years. In 2023, TMR performed a one-off birthday show including very rare Yes and CS solo pieces, followed by the release of the "Live From Daryl's House Bootleg" for free via Youtube. In 2024, TMR launched the CS Birthday Tribute Tour from Feb-May featuring two full albums (Fragile and Close to the Edge) Ritual, and CS solo pieces. In 2025, TMR will continue the tradition of celebrating Chris's legacy with a very special setlist, highlited with the inclusion of the *TMR BIG MEDLEY*

More Signed Live Magic In Stock!

Demand for Steve’s new release Live Magic At Trading Boundaries has been incredible! So much so that Steve signed yet more copies for the HackettSongs webstore this morning. If you are still in search of a signed CD or LP then don’t delay in grabbing a copy before they all go.

Next issue of Prog has Steven Wilson focus, as well as some words from Bill Bruford about his getting back into performing.

Interesting how last year we got Curved Air and Focus touring with Asia, and now later this year there will be a festival that has those former two but the different Asia Featuring John Payne (though there might be different days for acts, given the duration). Also interesting to see Foghat! Dad has interviewed Roger Earl at least a couple of times on Drum Talk TV.

Throwback! I remember he showed this to us a while back.

Regarding my last post about the Tormato book winning an award - here is my other YES (official) Tormato claim to fame.

When Gordon Giltrap & I were on Tour with John Lees' Barclay James Harvest we stopped off at YesTor and, before that nights show, I had fun using the picture in photoshop for our own creation of the classic back cover!
