District 97 with John Wetton
District 97 is a newish prog band. Four guys with a female vocalist. She's got a good voice - was an American Idol finalist. The guys are all excellent. I especially enjoyed watching the drummer. The keyboardist was a bit cliched Euro-prog, but his guitar playing was a bit more adventurous. Vocals on prog can be tricky, but Ms. Hunt" did pretty well. My favorite songs were the most proggy ones, including the half-hour long Mindscan" (in ten parts).
For the second half of the show, they brought out John Wetton. He had guested on a duet for their album, and they ended up taking him on tour. They started out with said duet, "The Perfect Young Man," and then went through a bunch of King Crimson songs. "Night Watch", "The Great Deceiver", "21st Century Schizoid Man", and several others. Wetton was great. He still has the exact same voice he's always had. Smooth and powerful.
