Reviews for the third edition of The Strawberry Bricks Guide to Progressive rock (will be updated).

Totally missed this review! Thank you Pete Pardo and Sea of Tranquility!

Yes Roosevelt Stadium, Jersey City, NJ, 17 June 1976

On June 17, 1976, the formidable Relayer lineup of Yes—Jon Anderson, Steve Howe, Chris Squire, Alan White, and Patrick Moraz—performed in front of a capacity crowd at Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City, NJ. The quintet was captured mid-tour during a live broadcast on New York’s WNEW-FM. While the performance has remained one of the band’s most popular bootlegs for decades, this release marks its first official appearance.

Hawkwind 3CD/Blu-ray Edition Box Set

Released in August 1970 on the Liberty label, the album was recorded in March and April of that year and established Hawkwind as one of the most exciting and original bands to emerge from the UK Underground scene. Tracks such as ‘Hurry On Sundown’, ‘Mirror of Illusion’, ‘Be Yourself’, ‘Seeing It As You Really Are’ and ‘Paranoia’ set the scene for the legendary Space Rock style that Hawkwind would explore to great acclaim and success in the 1970s and beyond.

Terence Sullivan

Announced on Facebook, former Renaissance drummer Tereance Sullivan passed away yesterday, surrounded by family and love. Sadly this leaves only Annie Haslam surviving from the "classic" lineup. My condolences to his family and friends.

New Gong Bright Spirit coming 13 March 2026

From K-scope: "Bright Spirit marks the third instalment in a trilogy that began with The Universe Also Collapses (2019) and continued with Unending Ascending (2023). Recorded with long-time collaborator Frank Byng in his South London studio, Bright Spirit sees Gong at their experimental best, more adventurous and more open to the dream than ever.

Rick Davies, RIP

Rick Davies of Supertramp passed last Saturday after a lengthy battle with cancer. Davies, with Roger Hodgson, founded the band in 1969. I first encountered the band in 1975, like most other teens of my age; Crime Of The Century was a staple in everyone's collection. From there, it was a joy to watch the grow with each successive album, culminating in the world-wide success of Breakfast In America. The pair famously fell out in the 80s, a fight only to be eclipsed by the non-payment of royalties to the other members of the band, none of this should diminish the musical legacy of the band.
