Seeing The Call live was amazing.

I saw the Similitude tour in Ridgefield, CT, and that song was like a revival, like a religious experience (and I don't mean that in the context of Neal, I mean that generally).  It was so powerful, you could feel it.

All of The Call is great, but from the bass solo till the end is just ridiculous amounts of greatness.  I am lucky to have seen it three times (the whole song performed on the Similitude tour and at Morsefest that year, and then most of the ending played in the medley on the 2019 tour).

Yeah, The Call has been a highlight every time I've seen them (CttE 2017, Similitude tour, 2x TGA tour, and Morsefest 2019). Oftentimes if I'm listening through all of the live Similitude release hearing it in the encore will nudge me to start Morsefest 2015 next so I can double dip :lol

Yep.  Saw them do Similitude (and The Call) at ROSFest (along with various and sundry other DTF Irregulars).  Fantastic show.

The Call is a really fun song, I put that one on earlier. MP's performance is pretty great.
That and TA's Black As The Sky, that one is warming up for me as well.

I love the first minute or so of The Call, but then it's just typical Neal. Way too familiar.

Ha! I remember when I posted bosk1 review on Eric's forum over FB. Man, Jaci was pissed! Because it was clearly a band effort and the review didn't reflected that. She even banned me from the forum.

That was just ridiculous.  I could not have written a more positive, glowing review.  It was fun joining the Eric Gillette Facebook group just so I could see her not know what to do when all I posted was positive stuff.

I wouldn't go that far. I agree the 3 NMB albums sound more like collaborative efforts than Neal's solo efforts, but that's like saying Transatlantic sounds nothing like Neal's solo work.

I think sarcasm is one of those things that doesn't translate well from language to language so when an English speaker uses it and non-native English speaker reads it, they rarely "get" it.

Just saw the trailer on YouTube and I've gotta say, I'm kinda excited, even if they're just gabbing about random stuff! I wonder who else he'll have on this podcast in future episodes? I would love tonsee his brother Al make an appearance, and maybe other prog contemporaries as well!

 :metal

Interesting discussion around the 26 minute mark about how Neal and Mike’s music would be received if they were making it in the early 70s. Mike points out that they would have been unnoticed altogether unless they were signed by one of the big record companies. This is the point people tend to miss when they bemoan streaming, YouTube, downloading, etc. Back in the day, artists had no way to get their music out to people unless they had major label backing, radio promotion, and good media reviews. Now you can at least carve out a dedicated following going it alone if you can connect with enough people.
