I'm going to see TAPFS on November 18th in Los Angeles, at the Wilshire Theatre. Got front row center mezzanine, right back from the orchestra section, figuring this is not the kind of show where one wants to sit front row...it'll be better a bit farther back, both sonically and visually.

Aside from a couple of the better tribute bands like The Musical Box (Canadian Genesis tribute; their recreation of TLLDOB album is spectacular), I've never been a fan of such "faux" groups. But a friend sparked my interest in this one, and after checking out some video and audio clips at their site, I wouldn't miss this show for anything. I expect it to be amazing, regardless of the fact that I've seen the real deal on six occasions, beginining with DSOTM in 1974.

Tickets for most dates are $40 or less. From one fan to all of you here, I'd recommend pulling out the old wallet for this one...
