just found out about these dudes...WOW

anybody know what the device on Paul Richards guitar is ?

I like their versions of Yes covers they do awesome.

That device could be a capo or a fat finger of some type.

Yep, looks like a tuner from here.

Now: Who's in the picture, and what trio are we talking about?

Saw these guy last year with Adrian Belew . They used to tour with King Crimson . Very good show and worth every penny except for Belew . Belew was too loud . It was to the point of pain . Molly and I walked out into the lobby as did many others . The trio was the highlight of the evening . I saw one of the band members in the lobby while waiting for the show to end ( two friends still inside ) . I complimented him on their rendition of YES .

I saw them earlier this year and it was an excellent show.

One of the really interesting aspects of the show was that afterward you could buy a CD with the show you just attended and get it signed by the band.

I'll definitely go see them again if I get the chance.

I saw (probably) the same lineup in 2006 - CGT opening for the Adrian Belew Power Trio and Belew's band tore the place up - just amazing. The CGT were good, but way too polite IMO, and they didn't play any Yes - they played "Freebird," a song that if I didn't hear for another 100 years would be too soon. They were trying to be ironic or funny or somethng, and it didn't work well. Belew's trio was the polar opposite - loud, in your face, taking chances, and full of energy from beginning to end. I've seen the CGT play several times, opening for King Crimson, and they were better then. Maybe they just had an off night.
