IQ- Nostalgia/Falling Apart at the Seams "Live" 93

[@edwardhodgkinson8268]

Love those flat cords. Amazing tune

[@aaronblashyrkh7655]

IQ became one of my fav bands. I love both eras. Personally i think nomzamo and are you sitting are great albums.

[@mvwmark8955]

Not wrong there, buddy. Love most of the IQ catalogue and both Paul Menel albums were superb as well.

[@Zyborggian]

The Menel albums as a whole dont compare to the first two discs and various "rare" from the 80s that are also godtier BUT THIS FUCKING SONG is 10/10 and the best one from those albums on par with most of The Wake (which is a SUPER strong 9 for me and would be a strong 10 if Dans was on the album instead of Corners. Rip vinyl space limitations making that impossible back in the day. Hell I would have taken Barbell is In over Corners if they wanted a "trying for a hit" type song on it because that one at least is cool imo). My favorite thing from this band ever by a mile is the 30th anniv remix of the debut. Godly shit that makes me cry at multiple points. Last Human Gateway is high art and almost untouchable.

i love IQ one of the Best bands ever!!

[@sissy27007]

Oh my God... Mike's solo 😍😍😍

[@davidleon7994]

Découvert en 86' avec The wake, coup de coeur immédiat et 35 ans après toujours fan (le dernier album Résistance est canon)

[@AlexAlex-dr9zc]

Tiens pareil ! Le choc a eu lieu la même année avec The Wake. J'aime absolument toute leur production. Vivement le prochain album. J'ai déjà mon billet pour un concert en Italie voisine en avril 25.

[@haraldschehl1932]

This is a fantastic sound and the highest musical level; it remembers me to GENESIS in 1974, specially the song "Fly on a windshield" from the Album "The Lamb lies down on Broadway"!

[@andreasdebont1294]

Although Are you sitting comfortably really sucks, this song is fantastic. First time I hear Peter singing this song. Well done.

[@jamespeterson4275]

Wurensh does not suck either

[@michelhille8107]

Great Performance🎸🎤🎹❤😁

[@igormendoza4534]

People of the world you must to hear it!

[@dorianarenas2112]

amaaaaazing version......

[@eduardorojas7966]

La mejor banda del rock progresivo actual

[@arthur1078]

What a solo from Mike

[@jamespeterson4275]

This is one of their BEST SONGS fuck the haters. Top 15 EASILY.

[@danjsy]

Strange seeing Pete Nicholls singing a Paul Menel song. Brilliant closing solo.

[@fituurpan]

This song existed before "Are you sitting comfortably" Peter sings the original lyrics. But it changed quite a few times through the years.

[@louvegas1048]

@@fituurpan Very interesting. Was this song written before Peter left the band the first time?

[@69stepe]

He did a great job!! ;))

[@BudsRPGreview]

He really did.

[@MentirasVitae]

Apartir del 8:37 extasis

[@dionisiocalcaterra92]

Excelente!!!

[@69stepe]

Yes it is my friend!!;) Thanks!!

[@didididi71]

Is thatfrom the Gig in Kleve/Germany back in 93?

[@dr.richardfrost]

😮😮😮😮😮😮❤❤❤❤

[@slashersam66]

Such awesome GUITAR! What Effect Pedal is he using for that chorus sound?

[@Cr8Tron]

+John Sampson Presumably the Roland VG88. I own one, but still have yet to find some time to verify this being the case. I have, however, found presets that definitely match stuff from About Lake Five (off the '98 version), as well as Out of Nowhere.

[@uapuat]

I know he's been using a VG-99 more recently but this might be a bit early for that. I read somewhere that before that he used a Boss multi-effect. He's got a GK pickup on his guitar, though, so a VG is definitely a possibility.

[@Cr8Tron]

+uapuat Yeah, the VG99 didn't come out until more recently. The same with the VG88, now that I'm actually looking at an actual timeline of Roland's products. You're right about his prior use of Boss' multi-effects board. A lot of the sounds in the VG88 and 99 originated from what you're talking about, which is why he chose them when he switched. Do you recall which particular multi-effects it said he used?

[@Cr8Tron]

+uapuat I've also read that the Fernandes Sustainer pickup has been a big part of some of his regular tones. Not sure if they were yet around as early as '93?

[@niktembe7234]

There was no VG88 in ‘93. There wasn’t even a VG8 in ‘93.

[@69stepe]

Yes it is!! ;)

[@69stepe]

Yes!!!! ;)

[@ThePirouliette]

Never been really fan of the "live ending" of this song, the original one is so much stronger in the way they keep rolling on with that ending melody. IQ's "Firth of Fifth"

[@jamespeterson1630]

Yeah this kinda IS IQs Firth of Fifth which is a bit sad in a way cos it's on the album that gets shunned cos it's surrounded by weaker songs than it (this is definitely the best track altho I love Wurensh and Nothing at All)

[@WarrenCromartie2]

Overall I thought IQ were better than Marillion. More interesting songwriters. I've seen them live several times since the early 2000's and they were always excellent, although shamefully I completely ignored them back in the early 80's when I WAS listening to Marillion and just getting into prog rock.

[@AlexAlex-dr9zc]

I can't tell they are better. They are different. I love both bands and their different evolutions. However I by far prefer IQ and can't wait to see them again next year with some new material.

[@MarkIngle1959]

I didn;t know they used overdub tracks live...

[@buncio67]

Skóra się na grzbiecie marszczy, tak grali.

[@ArthurMol-ib5tg]

What a solo from Mike
