I love that you Rick Rolled us in the bot before you left.😂😂

Hey Doug, I'm sure you know, but the beginning of your post if Yes at The house of blues, is a song called Time and a Word. Yes's second album. It was also a Coca-Cola commercial about 1970? something? It's a tremendous album!

Seth MacDonald

I have a recommendation for a band that I am not sure you have done yet. I know you have done music from each individual member in their other bands though. The name of the band is OSI.

Ed Noponen

Boy, I mst be a real blockhead. I have a Discord profile, but when I go to Patreon "settings" I see no "app" button. Can you help?

doughelvering

I'm not sure, Ed. I know that you need to connect your Discord profile to your Patreon account to gain access.

Just joined....been here with the Youtube episodes since about episode 44 (massive Maiden fan). Can't wait to dive in to some of the EPLs. Rick.

Michael Brown

Rejoined after a month off (hopefully for good behaviour)

Aaron Fullagar

Just joined. I have been with your You tube channel when Covid had started and you had started your reviews of Iron Maiden. Been a fan for a while. I am also happy to see you are discussing the Planets by Holst. That is a favorite of mine

Mark Maneval

Doug, I have been a fan for a long time, have watched you on YouTube. I joined this channel after seeing your post about the BS concerning your last attempt at loading a video. I live on YouTube, and I have seen many first reaction channels not have any problems, and a handful that quit because no matter what they did they could not get their content on... IT IS BS!!!! I do have two requests for your consideration to analyze. The first is Leonid and Friends, (They are the Russian and Ukranian Chicago/Earth Wind and Fire, cover band) They composed an original song called The Speck of Dust. The second is by the late 70's super prog group U.K. The song is Dead of Night (Suite : Dead of Night/By the Light of Day/Presto Vivace and Reprise) Doug, this is 13:07 of Mind blowing prog, that changed by life,, literally. Doug, keep up the great work my friend! I look forward to getting to know you and the other other members of The Council of Dougs! Sounds like a blast!!

Hi Mark. Thanks for being here! The Discord is where most of the interaction is. The Patreon is where most of the video library is. I know of Leonid and Friends! I've seen their Chicago covers especially. Thanks for your support!

Colin Heath

Hope you get to read this Doug. I 100% and more love everything Doug, but sadly have to take a temporary hiatus from Patreon for (hopefully) a short period while I sort out some deteriorating business related matters. I WILL be back after I've got retirement matters finalised which will restore a very welcome stability and reliability to my personal finances. Keep up the amazing work and I'll catch you retrospectively on you tube for sure in the meantime.

Sadly a year ago today we lost Klaus Schulze Hans Zimmerman said of Klaus "“The world has finally caught up to a true pioneer.”" Today I shall relisten to Bayreuth Return. . The film music composer Hans Zimmer used one of Schulze's pieces as part of his score for the movie Dune (2021), and described his work as “the perfect balance between the soul and technology”.29 Apr 2022 Maybe one day Doug will catch up with someone else who dies around the same time as Vangelis and Alan White. eend note Schulze’s impact was recently heard in the film “Dune,” interpolated into the score by an admirer, Hans Zimmer. “When I was writing the end titles, I realized there was a bass line that I’d heard before,” Zimmer told Den of Geek when the film was coming out. “And I suddenly remembered that Klaus Schulze wrote a song called ‘Frank Herbert.’ I basically lifted the bass line from that. So I phoned Klaus and asked him, could we make this a co-composition? But he was quite thrilled that something he wrote so many years ago still echoed into this century.” Sequencers are beautiful

Hi all, just joined this week after following the Daily Doug for a few months. I am a YES fan since I saw them in Dublin in 1969 and have enjoyed Dougs reaction to YES tracks. I look forward to being with y'all on Patreon

I've been watching you on YouTube for a while. I've been meaning to join in order to push for more Canadian content, namely some Tragically Hip. However, the great Gordon Lightfoot has just passed away yet I have seen nothing here! What must I do to get a request in? The Canadian Railroad Trilogy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXzauTuRG78 or If You Could Read My Mind https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiU2lrGnT7U

John Meggers

Hi, Doug. Really enjoy your reactions. Wondered if, as a composer, you might comment on three vastly different versions of a given song. I'm referring to "When The Levee Breaks." You have the original Memphis Minnie version (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5VmVvsjyKw), and then, of course, the infamous Led Zeppelin version from the ZOSO album (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5VmVvsjyKw). But there's a third version I find fascinating because it is (in my view) an incredible reimagining of the song, performed by A Perfect Circle (live version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXYieA0tGqE). I'm just curious your thoughts about songs that are so completely reimagined. Keep up the good work!

Been a fan of the show for a long time. I am 60 and have been drumming for over 50 years now. Degreed percussionist and lover of heavy rock, progressive music, fusion, jazz and classical. Sorry no country or rap for me. Glad to be a part of your channel.

Daniel Perea

Hello Doug, been a fan for a long time! thanks you for the great content you always provide. Today I bumped into an old video i watch years ago, and was thinking it would be great to watch you react to it! have a great weekend - "Calle 54 - Michel Camilo - Anthony Jackson - Horacio Hernandez" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axTfqxahqEE

paul smith

love your reactions mate, please more marillion

dezmilad

Hellooooo doug, I'm here finally. I'm looking forward to to get more involved with the daily doug community. I have learned a lot from your videos, and I find that I'm developing my ear with your help. I recognize intervals, modes, and even just notes. Very excited to go beyond your YouTube content

Rebecca Walsh

Thank You so much for posting this video. I was able to get 'discord' set up and connected to 'patreon'...I am beyond excited to get further involved in this community! I don't know what took me so long to do this.

Chuck Harden Jr.

I still don't know how to request a song or send you a link or where to do it

doughelvering

Are you connected to our Discord? That's where the suggestions/recommendations are submitted.

Thanks for the reaction on ELP's Fanfare for the Common Man! Keith Emerson is one of my all time favourites, such a humble person with unfortunately a tragic end of his life. Anyway this was also a great example of classic works redone right and your comments of Aaron Coplands reaction were a good addition here. Also got a thought that this is actually quite an interesting category, proge/rock bands understanding what the original work was about and just just picking the melody line. When thinking about similar versions Sky's version of Toccata came to mind ( see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgbgUrp1a70 ). The Nice has also done Karelia Suite by Sibelius and there are some clips of that.

Ron Swirson

Doug, great job on this, it was Yeoman's work getting through those charts and ya has done a fine job mi matey. On a serious note, I've watched all the live-action Star Trek reboots and the only one that is closest and truest to the optimism the original Star Trek embodied is Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. It's fun, you care about the ship members, and right from the start Captain Pike is faced with catch-22 moral dilemma between tribes in a distant world, and off they go. PS BTW the show is good and Anson Mount is a great Captain Pike. I'd say a mix between Shatner's Kirk (sans libido lol) and Stewart's Picard...and it works well, really well. I hope you get to see it, you'll feel like you first felt when watching TNG only that this takes place many years earlier
