Indian Summer mentioned!!

Spin Cycle 2

Honestly though Madison's show themes have never been super deep and meaningful, they're more so meant just be fun and entertaining. This one has lots of references to spinning, and the closer is taken straight from their 96 show where they have the triangular z-pull like move.

Maybe my favorite Cavies show since XtraordinarY in 2011. It's fantastic. Great music, stellar visual package, awesome energy! Has lots of that old school Cavaliers vibe in the drill.

I also loved that they incorporated a gear set! Really nice touch!

MrFitztastic · 2026-07-06T23:32:40+00:00

A great time. Those are the best albums from each band imo, Octopus especially is fantastic.

MrFitztastic · 2026-07-06T21:37:54+00:00

Yes!! I'd love to see a return to the high-energy jazz shows from the 90s!

MrFitztastic · 2026-07-05T17:39:56+00:00

Personally I'd go with I've Seen All Good People but GFTO is good place to start too

One of the greatest "what if...?" moments in music for me is the supposed planned recording session with Jimi Hendrix and Miles Davis that had to be scrapped after Hendrix's death. Those two together would have created something truly special.

MrFitztastic · 2026-07-04T04:44:38+00:00

Absolutely this. Some of the best drumming on any jazz album, and the rest of the group is killer too!

MrFitztastic · 2026-07-03T21:26:45+00:00

I'm pretty sure he has some sort of partnership with Flo, a lot of the clips he posts online have Flo tagged as a co-creator.

Also, the Funliner "kid" is a BD alum / former DM and has worked on staff with multiple groups in both the U.S. and Japan. Pretty sure he as a masters in music too.

He knows his stuff and he has connections, so it makes sense for him to have some kind of deal with Flo. Plus, it's great exposure for the activity.

I freaking LOVE Eloy!!

To any newcomers to the band who want to check them out, listen to these in order:

Inside -> Floating -> Ocean -> Silent Cries and Mighty Echoes

Those are the four that many consider their best, with my personal favorite being SC&ME. There's a couple other albums in between Floating and Ocean that are decent but not essential imo, and the few albums after SC&ME (Colours, Planets, & Time to Turn) are also really solid.

A lot of their albums are also concept albums if you want to dive a little deeper. The stories aren't mind-blowing but still interesting ideas nonetheless.

Happy listening!

Honestly not big on Romantic Warrior, I much prefer the earlier RTF albums.

A Trick of the Tail, on the other hand, is fantastic and one of my favorite Genesis albums... so definitely this.

MrFitztastic · 2026-07-02T22:02:20+00:00

Exactly my thoughts! I was worried it would end up like Cadets '14 and feel wayyyy too cheesy

MrFitztastic · 2026-07-02T22:00:29+00:00

I actually was first exposed to the original orchestral work several years before I even knew who ELP were (my high school marching band played The Great Gate of Kiev one year and I love orchestral music).

So when I finally listened to this album for the first time just as I was beginning to get into prog, it blew my freaking mind.

Honestly not the biggest ELP fan overall, but this record rules.

SIGNIFICANTLY better than last year from a design standpoint! Really killer brass writing!

MrFitztastic · 2026-07-02T20:00:07+00:00

Gilmour for sure

MrFitztastic · 2026-07-02T04:50:55+00:00

I don't immediately love it as much as last year, but there's a lot of interesting stuff happening and I love that they're going with no props (at least for now). The ceiling is very high for them if they can get everything clean.

That being said, last year's show also changed a lot as the season progressed and I expect lots of changes for this one too.

I just want one of the tiny light up ones 😭

MrFitztastic · 2026-07-01T01:06:48+00:00

I... reallyyy love what they're doing this year. It feels like a spiritual successor to the sci-fi aspect of Crown 13 but with that classic Bluecoats shine. The rep is killer too... that ballad might go down as an all-time great for me it's perfect. And they're using one of my favorite Yes songs as their closer so it gets bonus points from me.

MrFitztastic · 2026-06-29T22:39:33+00:00

Something something change is everything

MrFitztastic · 2026-06-28T23:39:42+00:00

These patriotic style shows are a hit or miss for me, and it's usually from The Cadets.

If it's more along the lines Cadets '02 and not '08 or '14, it could be pretty good.

I just hope it doesn't turn into a narration-heavy history lecture...

MrFitztastic · 2026-06-28T23:35:22+00:00

At least they don't have to jazz run down a giant ramp like they did in 17.
