Carl Palmer - Live in Santa Ana, CA, June 2006 Review by Lorraine Kay Best known as the "Palmer" in Emerson Lake and Palmer and as the drummer for Asia, Carl Palmer is still one of the most awesome drummers in rock and roll or any other music form.

Pendragon - Live at RoSFest, April, 2007 Review by Josh Turner This band was awesome all-around. They had a great set list, but most importantly they really knew how to work the crowd. Nick Barrett (Guitar/vocals), Peter Gee (Bass), Clive Nolan (Keyboards) and Joe Crabtree (Drums) were all masterful this night.

The Pineapple Thief - Live at RoSfest, April, 2006 Review by Josh Turner I never questioned The Pineapple Thief's progressiveness until I saw them live. In a concert setting, it's not an easy matter to leave or tune out the music.

Portugal The Man - Live in Dekalb, IL, November, 2008 Review by Travis Jensen There is a certain ambiance created when any band takes the stage. Whether it be your favorite local cover band, original group, or any one of the biggest name shows on the road at the height of its popularity.

Puppet Show - Live at RoSFest, April, 2007 Review by Josh Turner I was told about this band’s emblazoned album. It was said to be good, so I took the word of others on this claim and expected to see some magic performed by them this night.

Puppet Show - Live CalProg, May, 2007 Review by Michael Bader It’s 7 a.m. Saturday morning. Most musicians have only been asleep 4 or 5 hours unless they are desperately trying to finish material for a pending new release deadline.

Pure Reason Revolution - Live at NEARFest, June 2007 Review by Julie Knispel One of the most interesting things about NEARfest, the NorthEast Art Rock Festival, is their willingness to book bands that might rest just outside the typical comfort area of the average progressive music fan.
