I'm in Columbia, MO, and am a former resident of St. Louis, MO--a
major center of Nektar fandom.

I note that, in the newly re-opened forum, Roye states his hope to get
through our great part of the nation in summer 2008!

The web site's audio feature is a real pleasure.

Contrary to conventional industry wisdom, I believe that a band's
generosity with its sound pays dividends--look at the Grateful Dead.

I believe that it will be so for Nektar, if WE THE FANS let potential
listeners know what's happening.

. . so when do we get a taste???

:)

And it will look even better when it lists dates for a tour of the
midwestern USA!

Hello danceofthedawn74

ultradiv has posted to the nektar board that you requested notification on.
Regarding the subject - The old management.

You can view the posting at http://nektar.us/nn/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=364

And that represents yet more good news.

Disturbing, provocative, evocative, challenging . . like a Nektar song
it seems to start out as one thing but changes as you pay more
attention to it.

Hi Everyone.
The official website for the band will be re-launched very shortly.
It will be at the present address www.nektarsmusic.com but will be
completely run by the band (and no-one else).
cheers

Hey Art, nice compliment. The Book of Days cover reminds me of the
artist John Holmes, who did a series of paperback book covers for H. P.
Lovecraft's novels, paintings of faces in a similar vein.

Klaus may possibly contribute some keyboards but apart from Ron and
myself, Carmine carries the 5 string bass and some grand piano parts.
There are some keys that Delmar did that I would like to keep as some
of the sounds he generated were quite unique.
If when I come over to the USA to finish off the vocals with Ron, and
Mo is available, or even Larry for that matter, maybe they will
contribute some also to the album, but they are very busy people, so
we'll see.
Time is now getting short for release schedule, so it will have to be
done pretty quickly.

(besides yourself & Ron of course) will be contributing to our highly
anticipated new release?  :-)

I'm afraid the rehearsals will be taking place in Germany just prior to
the tour.

Forgot to mention, rehearsals will start 1 week before the start of the
tour.
I have kinda played a little with the guys, not much, but enough to
know they are first rate musicians, more than capable of performing
Nektar material.
cheers

Rehearsing in the US? Any chance of making the last night an 'open
rehearsal' and giving us a sneak preview? I for one would love to send
you gusy off with some positive energy!

Peace, Bob

Hi Ed,

That's from the NEARFest DVD. I'd love to see the entire "Desolation Valley"
uninterrupted.

I think that's from the Old Grey Whistle Test."
