 stephenhuerta 11/11/2025: It just dawned on me this morning, that I saw Martin Pugh in Visalia, at the Lamp lighter Inn Bar. Keep in mind , this was a long time ago. I don’t recall the date and year, so August 01, 1994 is as close as I can remember. Honestly, I’m guessing. But there’s a story here. First of all, I forget how I got wind of this show. I don’t recall any flyers or radio ads. My friend Tomas may have mentioned it to me. He was a local musician who enjoyed playing and jamming with local and touring blues bands. But I went to see the Martin Pugh Band, little did I know it was the same Martin Pugh from the British heavy Prog band Steamhammer, and later on with Armageddon, a heavy British Prog band. Turns out Martin was living in Three Rivers at the time, a small town on the 198, going towards The Sequoias. During the break, I introduced myself, and we started talking. He told me who he was, where he was from, and that he was the guitarist for the British bands Steamhammer and Armageddon, I was surprised! Being the British Prog bands admirer that I was. We spoke for quite awhile. I started asking about Armageddon, asking what happened and why wasn’t there a second album released. I had already known that Keith Relf had already passed away. We talked, and he shared a truly sad story regarding Keith. First and foremost, he said “yes”, Armageddon did record a second album, but it lacked Keith Relf’s vocals. He went on to tell me that Keith had suffered a heart attack at his home. Apparently he had gotten up from sleeping, went into his kitchen and sat down, where his heart gave out. The saddest part of the story was Keith’s youngest daughter walked in on him in the morning, and he was already deceased. I can only imagine how heartbroken his daughter must have felt. Martin wholeheartedly shared that story with me. He said that after Keith’s passing the record label shelved the project , without Keith’s vocals, the album was never released We quickly changed the subject, I asked him if he would be sign my Armageddon album, and with a smile he said “yes”. So after the next set, I quickly jumped in my car , drove to my house, grabbed my Armageddon album, and quickly returned to the Lamp Lighter Inn, where he signed my album, to this day, I still have that album. Here it is, November 2025, and I’m sitting here enjoying a cup of coffee when the Martin Pugh Band came to mind. I added this to my Concert Archives/Chronicles just this morning. All the above is a true story , and I’m glad I recalled it this morning. It made my day. I forgot to mention , Martin told me he was good friends of Carl Palmer, who would visit him on occasion. He also told me that he was going to be at an event in DT Visalia the following month I went to the event looking for him, but I never saw him. Trust me, looked. That’s my Martin Pugh story, and proud of it. Martin Pugh Band Nov 11, 2025

 Brucefan24 Springsteen (along with several members of the Sessions tour band) take in a show by Lucinda Williams and her band. Near the end of the show Bruce took the stage and provided guest rhythm-lead guitar on extended workouts of two songs (each in its first Springsteen performance).

 Georges A. Gauthier I don’t like a karaoke show. If a musician is alone on stage and hits a button for a backing track, they have to go to great lengths to impress. Cindy Lee did not. There is a Twin Peaks, Julie Cruz vibe about them first. A mystic which quickly fades as the Pre-recorded tracks underwhelm and Flegel just sits or stands there, static and lifeless. There is no effort to perform. There is no charisma, no stage presence nor banter. Even Flegel’s handling of their guitar seems awkward and unpracticed. Add to that a poor mix and you don’t even enjoy the music that much. Certain concert experiences elevate an album. Diamond Jubilee was one of my favourite albums of 2014. I fear that terrible performance has tarnished it forever. Cindy Lee / Freak Heat Waves Nov 11, 2025
