    Bonus Episode - Genesis Revisited, March 2026
    Apr 6 2026
    Bonus Episode – Genesis Revisited, March 2026 What began as a spring break car ride listening to *Invisible Touch* evolved into a comprehensive reexamination of Genesis's entire catalog. Joe candidly explores how his podcast preparation has fundamentally changed his listening habits, replacing spontaneous months-long binges with more critical, intentional engagement. But here's what makes this episode compelling: **the numbers**. Between 1980-1992, Genesis and its members accumulated an estimated **113 million global album sales**—placing them alongside Michael Jackson, U2, and Bon Jovi. *No Jacket Required* and *So* ranked among the era's top-selling albums. Joe defends this prolific period against longtime skepticism, arguing that *good musicians produce quality work regardless of genre*. He walks us through standout tracks, underappreciated albums like *We Can't Dance*, and rediscoveries that challenged his own expectations. **The question for you:** Which Genesis era resonates most with your listening journey—their progressive roots or their commercial peak?

  • SCS 39 - Styx in Austin, June 2025

    SCS 39 - Styx in Austin, June 2025
    Mar 30 2026
    After years of hearing his co-hosts rave about Styx, Joe Boclair finally made it to see them live at the Germania Insurance Amphitheater in Austin—the one built right into the Circuit of the Americas Formula One racetrack. He even bought a Mr. Roboto shirt as a playful nod to Paul Zotter, Ken Gregory, and Tom Corkran. (His wife Sarah came along too, naturally.) The triple bill featured Don Felder running through Eagles classics like "Hotel California" and "Life in the Fast Lane," followed by the Kevin Cronin Band—yes, that's REO Speedwagon minus the REO Speedwagon name, possibly due to some contractual drama. Despite being in his seventies, Cronin's vocals were impressively strong. The crowd was unusually diverse for a prog rock show, featuring some unforgettable characters including one older gentleman sporting punk-rock style with blue-pink spiky hair and Batman tattoos. Then Styx took the stage. **Larry Gowan's theatrical keyboard theatrics** in his sparkly purple coat were mesmerizing, while Tommy Shaw remained refreshingly laid-back, content to let others shine while delivering impressive vocals. J.Y. held down center stage with his sharp metallic green Stratocaster. Tommy's performance on "Man in the Wilderness" exceeded all expectations—until lightning struck nearby and forced an evacuation during "Castle Walls."

    Episode 166 - David Gilmour Part 1, Luck and Strange
    Mar 20 2026
    Episode 166 – David Gimour Part 1, Luck and Strange Our first David Gilmour solo episode covers his most recent album. In (somewhat) typical Palaver fashion we start at the end of the Gilmour solo catalog to cover Luck and Strange. On this record we find a guitar god from our collective past who is living beyond boundaries. Fresh yet familiar, Luck and Strange finds Gilmour expressing familiar ideas with new collaborators. Some people just improve with time!

    Special Episode – Interview with Rylee and Cason of Advent Horizon, March 2026 We at the Palaver had the excellent opportunity to sit down with Rylee and Cason of Advent Horizon recently. It was an outstanding conversation discussing their upcoming album Falling Together. Rylee and Cason were able to provide a glimpse into how Advent Horizon music gets written and recorded. They present a fascinating set of experiences that yield their compelling brand of prog rock. We hope you enjoy this fantastic conversation.

    Episode 165 – Marillion Part 17 – Seasons End 2022 Remix Finishing out our early 2020’s remix segment, we consider Marillion’s 2022 remix of Seasons End. The question going in was what would (or could) they do with such a fantastic original recording? As usual, the group considers this remix from all the angles. We hope you enjoy revisiting this classic record with us.
