Jon Patrick, promoter of the House of Progression series of concerts at the Peel pub in Kingston, together with Geoff Banks, music manager, promoter and writer put together a weekend event featuring the best of the prog bands that had appeared previously on the rather cramped stage at the Peel.
Magic Pie - Live at RoSFest, April, 2007 Review by Josh Turner I once heard somebody say that this band deserved to be on the same playing field with Spock’s Beard and The Flower Kings.

Magma - Live at NEARFest, June 2007 Review by Julie Knispel There are very few bands that can state that they have created an entirely new genre of rock music; that is to say, before their existence, the style of music they played simply did not exist.

Marillion - Live in Chicago, October 2nd, 2004 Review by Steve Alspach Marillion hit the Midwest for the first time in seven years as part of their world-wide "Marbles" tour. Before a sold-out crowd, the band played the songs from the single-CD version of the album as well as a history of the Steve Hogarth-era band.

Marillion - Live in Chicago, June, 2005 Review by Josh Turner If you get a chance to see Marillion in concert, don't miss the opportunity. They were much better live than I could have ever imagined.

When Marillion rolls into town, it’s a special event.Ever since their tour in 1997 for This Strange Engine, I have not taken Marillion touring the US for granted.
I was lucky to catch Marillion back in 2016 on their first run of F.E.A.R. tour dates,so when they decided to come back to the United States for another group of shows, I just had to attend, this time in Dallas.
Kurt Michaels - Live in Milwaukee, January 2006 Review by Josh Turner Kurt Michaels was selected to tag along with The Syn on their most recent Syndestructible tour. As I discovered, he was a suitable fit and a fulfilling choice.

Miriodor - Live at NEARfest, 2002 Review by Roger Rossen I had never really heard of this band before seeing them at NEARfest, and their Saturday afternoon performance snuck up on us all with the now expected NEARfest promise of progressive music bliss.

Having not followed Neal Morse’s post Spock’s Beard and TransAtlantic career, you could imagine my surprise when I learned that Neal Morse has redirected his amazing musical talents towards promoting God’s word, “Prog Style.”
The album, "Similitude to a Dream," is nearly two hours of seamlessly integrated music. The Neal Morse Band played it in its entirety with a single intermission where the discs split.
In a snap, Neal Morse took center stage behind his keyboards with an arsenal of guitars in tow. Modeled after most of his creations, the music began with an overture.
This band seem to be very pumped, and it could be coincided with the Morsefest coming on, as announcements have been going out about it while NMB are on tour.
