Progressive Pacer was one of the "underground" Christian rock promoters from the earlier 80's. The Pacer's last curtain call came in late '85, but the archives live on. Some of the Pacer guys have gotten together and put up ProgressivePacer.com. This web site will reprint articles from Progressive Pacer magazine ('78-'82) and photos from Progressive Pacer Productions ('80-'85). The site debuts this Sunday . . . Easter Sunday. http://ProgressivePacer.com By the way, the first "featured photo" will be of DA on their Dopplegänger tour. For now, stop by and visit the home page, and sign up for our email list. 03-29-2002 16:22 audiori Administrator Registration Date: 03-12-2002 Posts: 11,145 Location: Missouri Really cool!        I checked out the site, and can't wait for the articles to be up.

Sounds like "progressive pacemakers" to me. There are still talented Christian musicians on the scene today. Many of them have appeal to the "street level." It seems pretty geriatric to say that music just ain't as good as it was when Randy Stonehill, Larry Norman, Petra, Rez Band and Daniel Amos were cranking out records. Wait a minute.... they're all still cranking out records! (Quality control not withstanding for some of them....) Rez band has metamorphed to Glenn Kaiser, but he still tours with the band. I just wish they wouldn't let Wendi sing- she reminds me too much of Grace Slick. __________________ This is where I put my signature. 09-25-2002 10:01 jc Luteous Llama Registration Date: 03-13-2002 Posts: 383 fer us fogies        just so you whipersnappers know Progressive Pacer WAS the thang in the early 80s for me Me kids and I went to a few of their shows (missed some I could kick for)Keaggy-(he DID used to rock ya know) Not saying it was better- but I WILL say they had to work more to get an audience. (very few 3 day fests back then lil ones) Granpa CriCKet 09-25-2002 10:41 carl Platyhelminth Registration Date: 03-15-2002 Posts: 6,960 Speaking of which....        ....my first car was a Pacer -- a lime-green one, no less. It progressed better on some occasions than others.... And heck, I didn't even KNOW there was any good Christian music out there until 3-4 years ago, even though I'd been searching for 15 years prior, so I don't know where this puts me on the fogey chart.... anyone I came across before that (Tonio K., Bruce Cockburn, The Call, T-Bone & Sam) were by pure secular coincidence.... __________________ 09-25-2002 10:51 Mark Moderator Registration Date: 03-18-2002 Posts: 9,525 Location: Grand Encephalon - Words have their place but live what you say God can have His way when you hit them with Love Thanks for the news. __________________ But never, never pin your whole faith on any human being: not if he is the best and wisest in the whole world. - C.S.

Seriously, though, I think there's a perspective/vibe/worldview/whatever that shines through all (or at least most) of the above, regardless of their actual sound. For me, the aforementioned 1st five all led to one nexus -- Mark Heard. Then, upon discovering him, the door swung open to Rich Mullins, VoL, and most of all our beloved DA, in all its incarnations.... which in turn swung open to the 7s, AA, et al.... but The Choir still sucks.... __________________ 09-25-2002 11:29 servantsteve Disjasked Lerna Registration Date: 07-02-2002 Posts: 4,168 Location: Ole Virginny Strange, the Choir is what got me to listen to Daniel Amos, Lost Dogs, Adam Again, VoL and a host of other new experiences. It' funny how associations can work. I bought the Choir because I thought (mistakenly) they were a product of Undercover. I bought Undercover because the record store was trying to get rid of their inventory (I don't think they caught on in the mid 80s in virginia as well as they did in California).... Anyway, I love the Choir because I think Derri Daugherty's voice is terrific. I love the Lost Dogs songs where he sings lead the best from a musical perspective (although others touch my heart more...) I guess it takes all kinds to make up a DAmb. __________________ This is where I put my signature. 09-25-2002 11:36 brdhsnyrsoul Ceremonial Kernel Registration Date: 08-20-2002 Posts: 2,155 Location: the funky western civilization It is funny.....I keep posting how my wife hates DA....It's mainly Terry's voice that she doesn't like....She loves Derri's voice....She always wants me to learn Derri ballads on the keyboard.....She even like the Lost Dogs when Derri sings or when Mike does his crooning voice.....but she hasn't heard a single Terry vocal that she really likes (Vox Human doesn't bug her as much as the others - but she wouldn't "choose" to listen to it). It's just too bad... __________________ 09-25-2002 11:40 Jevon the Tall Woolly Eggwhisk Registration Date: 03-13-2002 Posts: 943 Location: "You're not from around here are you?" said the stranger to the little man in the wool sweater who looked vaguely like a sheep.

What an intersting thread. Dinosaurs still rule the planet my friend. Three Crosses, yup, I'll admit to three of their albums. Great stuff. But where would we be if we could get "new" albums from bob Dylan, ELO, TOTO (hey no comments), SAGA, Honeymoon Suite, Daniel Amos, Randy Stonehill, Kansas (oh yeah baby!) and Phil Keaggy. The list goes on, but this Nu-metal stuff is lame, and if kids today could rock on their own they wouldn't need Aerosmith or the Rolling Stones! Nah na na na na na nah, hey ay ay good bye. __________________ 09-25-2002 11:46 servantsteve Disjasked Lerna Registration Date: 07-02-2002 Posts: 4,168 Location: Ole Virginny Maybe that's my problem with DA. I've not yet warmed up to it, although I love SE, and LD. I also love the Choir and I can't get enough of Adam Again.... I'm going to keep trying to listen to DA and TST, though. I can see real depth in the instrumentation and the lyrics. I just haven't warmed up to the singing yet. __________________ This is where I put my signature. 09-25-2002 11:47 servantsteve Disjasked Lerna Registration Date: 07-02-2002 Posts: 4,168 Location: Ole Virginny quote: Originally posted by Jevon the Tall quote: Originally posted by carl ...then come how I can only get Jevon to join me on the Three Crosses bandwagon?

I've heard that musical taste is formed in adolescence. after that, you may like new groups with a similar style, but probably not new stuff. Fortunately, I've never outgrown puberty. But isn't that a requirement for posting on the DAmb? __________________ This is where I put my signature. 09-25-2002 11:50 brdhsnyrsoul Ceremonial Kernel Registration Date: 08-20-2002 Posts: 2,155 Location: the funky western civilization Can you say puberty here..... this is a Christian thread.... __________________ 09-25-2002 11:52 servantsteve Disjasked Lerna Registration Date: 07-02-2002 Posts: 4,168 Location: Ole Virginny quote: Originally posted by brdhsnyrsoul Can you say puberty here..... this is a Christian thread....
