Green, PLEASE: Lighten up, lose the facial hair, reunite with Gamson and Maher, get out and tour, and play material from Cupid & Psyche and Provision!

I always thought he looked like Princess Diana! Sounds a lot like Jon Anderson.

They may not have played live in America before this, but somewhere I have a tape of them lip syncing to Perfect Way and Wood Beez on American Bandstand in 1985!

I was at this show...was very exciting to be there, but a lil sad that Green definitely seemed to want to forget most of the past, seeming almost embarrassed to play this (especially when his mac book would not cooperate). He even started out the entire show by announcing "There will be no'Perfect Way' tonight"....

Yes, I'm glad someone else remembered and felt the same way.

I was at the concert - having been an avid Scritti fan since the early 80s - and you could FEEL Green's utter frustration when the laptop malfunctioned and they couldn't re-create the perfectionist studio sound of Wood Beez - but he knew he HAD to play it to satiate the fans who paid to see him, so he busted out what was most likely the loosest improv he's ever done, or will ever do again? It was a magical show, even if some of the new material is a bit sleepy.

Hi, Thank you so much for the great email.
I'm so sorry it took me so long to reply.
It was exciting to be there-I couldn't believe they never play America before but I was disappointed they didn't play "Perfect Way". Best Wishes. David
