<< 12 Steps Beyond Prog

A LONG TIME AGO... In Portland Oregon at La Luna on October 6th 1994, 2 young fans armed with gin and tonics and a borrowed portable DAT machine recorded the Ozric Tentacles direct from the board and captured their 1st PDX performance in early digital glory. The batteries wore down as the band did their last song, but they did not care. They had them captured on a marvel of engineering at that time. The DAT tape. NOTHING was done with that tape AND it sat in all its 16 bit 48k glory on a shelf next to some CDRs of questionable playability. Luckily the DAT plays back just fine.

Now you will hear the result of that recording, edited for time but otherwise an intact performance. This is part of a continuous series of shows I will do on a semi regular basis of rare and otherwise unheard of performances. Only the best recorded versions will air here. 

This is a perfect time to have that smoking device ready.

As usual for the 12th Step Beyond I look to other genres attempting to fool the un-initiated. This week we take New Zealand and Australia in a seriously prog direction.

This happens tonight at Midnight on 91.1 and 107.1 in Portland and in Vancouver at 99.9.

Live radio that will make your parents feel like they have fallen, and they don't want to get up.
