I shouldn't think "The Power to Believe's" placement is all that suprising. Yeah, it's a great album, but I'm shocked that it's anyone's favorite when those that came in the top 4 are all in the running. The only thing I find shocking is that "Starless" was beaten by both "Lizard" and particularly "Islands", but then again I'm pretty biased towards the Larks/Starless/Red era. I'll refrain from listing all the KC shows I've attended but I can't miss an opportunity to gloat that I was in the second row for whichever tour John Paul Jones opened for (ConstruKction of Light IIRC).geemarcushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16688036351252689773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2199327163012873402.post-2675280056646871542010-10-11T13:12:30.533-04:002010-10-11T13:12:30.533-04:00I answered ALL my own questions here:

Did they tour with John Wetton, Greg Lake, Sinfield and Ian McDonald, at all?<br />(Hope I have my facts straight here; not sure if this info is available in/on researching them.)<br />I do know that Bill Bruford tried for a long time to get in the band, and finally Robert told him: "I think you are ready now, Bill!" Sort of funny, Robert the perfectionist!fireflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14358081259882638479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2199327163012873402.post-89541063110557354362010-10-07T17:43:27.491-04:002010-10-07T17:43:27.491-04:00I saw the "Discipline" tour - I'm th...I saw the "Discipline" tour - I'm thinking it was at the Agora in Cincinnati.

Unfortunately, I was not feeling well at the time (the summer of 2003 was incredibly hot),so I missed them... And never got the chance to see them again!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
