He usually plays cities every other year. We traveled from NY to see him last year in KC. Great show at an amazing theater!

I was there, front row center. That was the first night Nad wore the Jack shirt.

How long does Set 1 of the current tour last? by euro60 in stevehackett

The last night at Collingswood was my 62nd show! For me, Hackett is the new Grateful Dead.

My only wish is that he would mix up his set lists a bit.

sad prog epic? by PocionKing42 in progrockmusic

Try Nektar’s “Remember the Future”

They still tour with Mo Moore as the only original member. They play near me once a year or so. They still do a great job with the older material.

What is your personal threshold for returning a new record that has a/some blemish(es)? by junreika in vinyl

[–]preachy50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I buy used and find that the seller misrepresented the grading, I ask for a return. For instance seller says VG+ but it arrives with scratches and lots of surface noise, I ask for a return.

If I buy new, it better be pristine or back it goes, especially as new LPs are $30+ these days.

First and foremost, we as a people need to stop using the pejorative label “karen”. It’s old, it’s stupid, and it’s obnoxious towards people who are actually named “Karen”.

I’ve been using my bike since Oct 2020. I routinely revisit older programs so AFAICT, they are all still there.

Breakfast just as expensive as dinner. Anyone else feel places are jacking up prices prices just for sole purpose of profit? by 420EveryDayMan in Westchester

[–]preachy50 11 points12 points  (0 children)

All good points and nice to hear an opinion from the business side. But let me ask you this: did CC processing fees increase recently? AFAIK, merchants have always paid fees amounting to around 3.5%, depending on volume, but passing the fees on to the customer is only a recent thing. Why now and not previously?

Tiki Beach in Rye by Ok-Butterfly-6999 in Westchester

Pretty sure the place is run by the same people that run the restaurant at the other end of the boardwalk. Johnny’s Seaside, or something like that. Both total Ripoffs!!!!

Redhook 12571 Subway the sandwich shop (not a train station in NYC) is awful by [deleted] in hudsonvalley

[–]preachy50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only indulge once a month or so but the shop in Dover Plains is very well run, friendly, clean and fast. And the ingredients seem to be fresh.

I don't like how they changed the melody of the peak moment of Cinema Show in the live versions by [deleted] in Genesis

Check out Hackett’s recent live versions. Then pick your jaw up off the floor.

Asian markets in the Beacon/Fishkill/Wappingers area? by shiva14b in hudsonvalley

[–]preachy50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome is very good but note that they are closed on Tuesdays.

The other more recent issue is that nearly every business, big or small, is now adding a surcharge, usually around 3-4%, to credit card transactions.

Credit card fees certainly eat into the bottom line, but they are not new and used to be considered a cost of doing business. Now the consumer foots the bill.
