SCS37 – Steven Wilson in Dallas and Philadelphia, October 2025

The Progressive Palaver are extremely happy to welcome Dave Ayers from Bleeding Edge Interviews to this special concert series episode covering Steven Wilson’s Overview Tour. Paul, Ken, and Dave saw Steven Wilson in Philadelphia and Joe saw the tour a week later in Dallas. As luck would have it, we all saw the same set and so we can compare apples to apples. We have a great discussion of all aspects of this very enjoyable tour including the fantastic band, eye-popping visuals, song choice, and so much more. This is a great revisit of a very important tour.

Episode 162 – Pink Floyd Part 22, A Momentary Lapse of Reason Remixed and Updated 2019

In this episode the group considers the updated version of Pink Floyd’s A Momentary Lapse of Reason. This is an album that was originally made to be “of its time.” It seems that Gilmour and company thought that maybe it didn’t quite stand the test of time that way. Does this update and remix create a “timeless” sound or does it remove some of the original magic? Follow along with us as we consider these ideas and so much more.

Episode 161 – Pink Floyd Part 21, Animals 2022 Remix

Upfront apologies for the tense energy at the beginning of this otherwise charming episode considering the 2022 remix of Pink Floyd’s Animals. The backstory of this remix involves some now-standard drama from the band members. Once past that, however, the Palaver group find this remix to be a breath of fresh air for an album that deserved some upkeep. The sound is enhanced and the songs benefit from the treatment, making this a welcome update.

Special Concert Series 36 – The Sisters of Mercy in Dallas, Oct 2024

A blast from the past on a tangent! In October 2024, Joe and Sarah went to see The Sisters of Mercy in Dallas. This is decidedly not prog, but still of interest to the members of the Palaver. Here we share this short conversation about a very interesting and fun concert from a band we think is worth your consideration.

Special Concert Series 35 – Marillion Weekend Bonus Chat with Planet Marzipan Guest Graeme

Here is a brief, fun look back to the Marillion Weekend in Port Zelande 2025. Joe had the immense pleasure to meet Graeme and his son on the bus from the airport to Port Zelande. An immediate friendship was born that was confirmed as the two kept running into each other throughout the weekend. On Sunday afternoon, before the final show, Joe and Graeme took a few minutes to chat about the weekend. We hope you enjoy going back to this fantastic event with us for some light banter with adequate background noise. Cheers!

Special Episode - Joe Deninzon from Stratospheerius and Dan McGowan from The Tea Club Sept 2025

In advance of their double-bill show at The Kennett Flash in October 2025, the Palaver were thrilled to welcome Joe Deninzon from Stratospheerius and Dan McGowan from The Tea Club. While Joe and Dan are both current members of Kansas, these projects are near and dear to their hearts. We had a spectacular time chatting with them on a wide range of topics from keeping bands like this going to advice for their younger selves. We hope you all enjoy this fun and enlightening conversation and check out both bands as well

Episode 160 – Fish Part 12, Internal Exile 2024 Remix

The group continues with the second of Fish’s 2024 remixes, covering Internal Exile. While presenting a more light-handed remix this album still reveals some surprises. The Palaver generally finds a lot of joy in revisiting this classic Fish record that really showed him coming into his own. We hope you enjoy this exploration and comparison.
