[alwaystapetheolive]

Good live version. Agree with grooveyhomeboy regards "X" comments. Spot on.

[davehaz123]

I think my brain exploded .

[seaeire60]

Is the Bass guitarist "Richard Lewis" Seinfeld hanger on ??? ha ha ha

[mirjam184]

[STFAofficial]

hi! PLease check out our prog suite 9 MONTHS! thank u so much, greets from italy! S.T.F.A

[kingcrimson234]

i still say neal had a way better lead voice. him and nick had awesome harmonies. i really miss that.

[Vinocaful]

a guitarrist without pick and a bassist picking...lol

[sturoc0]

I did a search for Spock's Beard aka Star Trek and came up with these guys !!!

[countmobius]

Crack int Big Sky? Heavy Watcher of the Skies influence in the opening....great piece of music!

[fsbfsbfsbfsbfsbfsb]

Although I miss the Morse era, I think X is as good an album as they've ever put out. And I actually prefer this take on Crack the Big Sky to the original; I think it's awesome.

[groovyhomeboy]

@fsbfsbfsbfsbfsbfsb I agree. Even though we'll never have the Spock's Beard of old (the neal-era), I feel that X was the "new" Spock's Beard's coming-out party. X is they're strongest album, bar none.

[manifestgtr]

al is such a great guitar player....he doesn't need the whole "shred" element to make his parts sound awesome

[batbold66]

It's great to see Neal standing up and being a leader in the prog movement as he should be. Truly one of the great talents of prog.

[Dangerstix]

Hitting the notes is one thing. Having natural tone, fronting the band and conveying emotion are different things entirely. ND'V's a good musician but I can't connect with Spocks post Neal :(

[Haris4rings]

The song's melody seem hv been deviated a bit, not what I used to hear before...

[Horaxlfa]

@Haris4rings They didnt change everything since Neal Morse version except they transposed it half step up i think.

[Haris4rings]

@Horaxlfa Beside up tempo, It have lost some feeling when He sang it, IMO. Neal Morsedo it much better.

[JeauxBand]

@Horaxlfa The keyboard chords during the bass melody at around 1:00 aren't what Neal used to play =S

[Horaxlfa]

@JeauxBand Its up to Rio. )

[TheAbsorbant]

@Horaxlfa Actually, it's spelled RYYYYYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­O!!!

[Horaxlfa]

@TheAbsorbant Thanks for correction, my bad.)

[Dracopol]

Where did the name Spock's Beard come from? The old Star Trek episode where they go to the bizarre opposite universe and Spock indeed has a beard? Or do they mean Spock is gay and dates an ugly girl who is his "beard"? The public wants to know. LOL.

[Horaxlfa]

@Dracopol "Alan Morse came up with the name after a particularly wild party, where he remarked to his brother, Neal, "It's almost as if we were in an alternate universe, like that one episode of Star Trek where Spock had a beard ["Mirror, Mirror"]. Wouldn't that be a cool name for a band? Spock's Beard."

Wiki. =)

[Dracopol]

@Horaxlfa Good, what a relief.

[fancybollocks]

this is like Genesis without Collins

still like it though just not quite as good

in fact really like the new CD, X

[mindtoonz262]

nice songyzity

[JeauxBand]

Awesome! Nick sounds absolutely spot-on. As do the rest of the guys.

Long live the Beard!

[tideal]

Nick is the guy!

[princeofsaiyans037]

I was introduced to spock's beard by my friends dad when i was 10 and I've loved them ever since. This is my all time favorite song by them.

[marczrocksoulblues]

They are fantastic! Spock's Beard is great with and without Neal Morse. All outstanding musicians!
