I saw Ambrosia open for Styx back in 75 or 76, right after Tommy Shaw joined. Second row center at the Paramount in Portland. Great show overall; Styx before they got bloated, and Ambrosia was better than I expected - closed the set with a rocking Magical Mystery Tour. - Greg Cornely, Michael wrote: Mike Hodges wrote: 16.

In fact, the only other list that I'm on is Ambrosia's "Travellers" (although that's near dormant these days). I think the closest they came to power pop was parts of ONE EIGHTY, with the trio of songs that start that album - "Ready", "Shape I'm In" and "Kamikaze". That album is my favorite of theirs - just edging out their self-titled debut. I put "Shape I'm In" on a SOTT a few years back. They are headlining a prog-rock festival called RoSFest in May here in the Philadelphia area, and I'm looking forward to that. David Pack has left the group, but I've always enjoyed Joe Puerta's songs just as much. I think they are an underrated, overlooked band - mostly because of their big MOR hits "You're the Only Woman" and "Biggest Part of Me", also both from ONE EIGHTY. I've only seen them once, about 10 years ago, right before Pack left, and they put on a very good show.

I forgot how much I liked this.) -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ greg cagle | greg@glcagle.com | bothell, washington
