| I saw the fellas in Illinois at a small club around 2 years ago...bleeping fantastic. Met Roye after the show....one of my all time heroes...he did write recycled and remember the future among others....it can suck meeting a hero, but Roaye was the nicest star/performer I ever met. he seemed to gladly appreciate my enjoyment of his music... he signed my t-shirt and grabbed me for a hug....wonderful experience...wonderful person....thank you Roye |

I have been a fan of Nektar and
Progressive Rock for a very long time,I
saw them at Asbury Park's Convention Hall
back in the 70's? I can still remember
the "LIQUID LIGHT SHOW" ,and all the
original members performing "Remember The
Future" ,and "Recycled".The new CD "Time
Machine" 2013 is a MUST for Nektar Fans! |

I had the great fortune of meeting Ron
Howden and playing a few songs at a party
he was playing the other night. What a
delight it was to meet him and of course
to tell him I was a big Nektar fan.
It was a surprise 50th birthday party for
my cousin and Ron was filling in for
someone who called out days before.
My cousin said "that's the guy I've been
playing with and some hippies he brought
along, the guy on drums is probably one
of their dads"
I said "actually dude that's the drummer
from Nektar"!!
" What??!! The drummer from Nektar is at
my house!!?"
Anyway it was great to meet him, seemed
such a genuine guy and of course I've
been revisiting all my Nektar vinyl since
I got home. Sound great of course! What a
fun story to tell all my prog rock
friends too.
If there's ever a show a reasonable
distance away from my home in VT I'll be
there for sure.
Thanks Ron! |

I've made him a CD and told him he was in for a real treat. Gonna make some brownie points big time when he slaps on those headphones !!!! |

Greetings!
I discovered Nektar when a friend lent me Recycled, and Magic Is A Child, in 1985. I have been a listener ever since. I was immediately impressed with how vital and refreshing the band's music is. And it has stood the test of time well, for me. Great to see this site. Rock on, Nektarians! |

Hey guys, just heard your music for the first time... absolutely awesome. It's great to hear that Progressive Rock is still alive. I'm in my 50's and I can't believe that I haven't heard of Nectar before yesterday.
Keep up the great work. I'll be listening to more NECTAR more often.

I was probably one of the 1st canadian
fans in the 70's, I spread the word and
the music far and wide. I was at massey
hall for the 1st tour, just the original
band doing RTF, and the next tour with
larry for Recycled. roye T was god,
melodic fire...mo was the coolest
rolling bass man...ron was probably one
of the most underrated drummers during
that time and taff added that padded
richness on keys. will never forget
doing air guitars in front of my light
organ for every nektar song. I have the
dvd, you guys were great back together.
wish I could find some footage of the
new york show that was recorded. proud
to be here, a fan forever! |

but when I got home I couldnt play it
and eventually it got misplaced. Anyway
I ran across you'll again on utube and I
was so excited. I missed you'll. Down To
Earth was the album. I listened to the
album online and just cryed. I loved
Germany so much and your album brought
back alot of great memories. Just
thought i'd share. I also saw you in

I have to post a quick comment here
about the recent Nektar tour of the USA.
To put it plain and simply, they were
absolutely fantastic. The band was as
tight as could be, Roye was at the top
of his game, singing great and of course
he is a brilliant guitarist. The rest of
the band were terrific as well. Thank
you Nektar for putting on a masterclass
performance in Chicago.
And I alos want to say how much I am
enjoying the new album,Time Machine,it
is outstanding. |

Looks like I'll have to pick up some of the newer albums since I haven't heard anything new since "Magic is a Child" which I don't really consider a true Nektar album since Roye didn't contribute to it. Keep it up! |

Guys, you rock. Stumbled into your music by
watching a "sendung mit der Maus" from 1976
with my little son on YouTube. Was the track
"Good Day" which made my day great. Have to
admit that I never heard about you guys before,
even if I grew up with my older brothers music,
who loved to listen to Deep Purple, but as well
Kansas, Yes and that stuff. They are all gone and
you are still around; amazing.
Btw I love "Over Krakatoa" - greetings from
Hamburg, all the best for your tour. |

Guys,
Thanks for taking the time to tour on the MSC Poesia. I had never heard Nektar music and I was truly blown away - almost literally with the wind on some days.
Really enjoyed the full "Remember the Future" in the Pigalle lounge and "Man in the Moon" was killer.
Looks like I have lots of CDs to buy.
Hope to see you again soon.

third bout with leukemia...not
responding to treatment very well this
time so I may go this time (I accept it
and all good in the big scheme of the
Creator). But I will say this:
Thank you for the songs, the vinyl, the
rhythm, the opportunity to see you live
so many many years ago.
We were truly blessed to have lived thru
those times and you were a great part of
it!
Thanks a million,

| got turnd on to Nektar in the early seventies while looking thru second hand records in my favorite record store PooBahs in Pasadena California, I saw the cover for A Tab in the Ocean, liked the cover and bought it for the cover alone. when I played it I thought what idiot sold this album it's a masterpiece, I immediatly took it to my friends house and played it for several of my friends, that was it we were all blown away. we went out that evening to PooBahs and went through the import section and bought all of the Nektar albums they had. we could not get enough of this epicurian music. I eventually got to see Nektar at the Santa Monica Civic Theater for the Remeber the Future Tour, still have my ticket stub to this day. I was 10 rows from the stage, the light show was awe inspiring, Jimi Hendrix appeared before my eyes in bits and pieces and colours. to this day I still reguard this as the best concert I've ever seen and I've seen hundreds. wish you'd come to Australia where I now live, and play a few gigs as no one believes me as how mind expanding you are live. As the old addage goes "once your mind is expanded to a new dimension it can never shrink back to the old dimension" the only thing that expanded me more, was Peoyte buttons, and having 5 beautiful children and all the love they bring into my life. you guys are truly a mind altering substance... THANKS FOR THE TAB IN my OCEAN of life |

| I Am a Nektar Fan Since the Early 70's.I Seen Nektar On Their First Ill Fated Tour to America.At Alex Cooleys Electrick Ballroom in Atl. Ga.The First Band to Play Was a Mediocre Band Called Illusions,The Played till About 10 Pm.There Wasn't Many People There to Begin With But When Nektar Came on Most People Left,Remember this Was Down South and Skynyrd and The Allman Bros.and the Like Were Popular,Anyway Nektar Must Have Been Dissapointed in the Response Because After a Song or Two They Left the Stage.But Albrighton Came Back Out And Did a One Hour Solo That Was Very Impressive and Highly Enjoyable.I'll Remember it The Rest of My Days.I Only Wish it Was on Video.Believe Me It Was Well Worth the Admission Price.$5.75 |

Always a fan of Roye Albrighton even with Defroster. I had designed my show vehicle with their permission for artwork from the albums. I had everything on vinyl until I became homeless. I will now rebuild my collection and look forward to new releases. |

Back to the Future.
When first hearing this album which I have on vinyl it was a defining moment that has stayed with me. The emotion it raised I liken to when first hearing the Beatles Sergeant Pepper and Abbey Road albums, mind blowing. I never thought that the band would still be playing and look forward to a UK tour this year. Happy listening everyoneand many happy memories. |

I last saw NEKTAR May 1, 2009 at ROSFEST, and the show was fantastic!... I have just "recovered" from another FEST, namely NEARFEST ( APOCALYPSE ), so named because sadly, it is to be the last NEARFEST. I was at NEARFEST 2002 which featured the reformed NEKTAR; this last one reminded me of that 2002 event. ..And so BILLY SHERWOOD is recording with NEKTAR! Perhaps a Rickenbaker bass Could be used! |

| Goes to show that when putting in random favourite group names into google, what you can find! I still can't believe that this band is up & running again. I came across Nektar by trawling through some LP's in a small record shop in Manchester during the 70's and I took a flyer on 'Tab in the Ocean'. Didn't regret the choice and have had a soft spot for Nektar ever since buying other great albums by them. Remember the Future?....I sure as hell, do!! |

am again listening to Nektar and the music
sounds as good now as it did back then. |

listening to A Tab In The Ocean in it's

get a hug from Roye and I got an
autographed set list from everyone in
the band. I also met Huw Lloyd Langton
Hawkwind which was amazing. Thank you

I bought the whole front row. It was GREAT. I also saw you at Pops in Illinois around 2003. You did the Remember The Future album. Taff was not there I think his son was on keyboards, something about his visa. You were GREAT then too. Thanks for doing some of my favorite music ever. Good Luck, and Stay Safe, Jim |

I alwaxys loved the music made by Nektar. But the lightshow was the best one I ever saw. I went to a concert in Germany Rendsburg Nordmarkhalle in the early 70s. The played with Curved Air and Status Quo. What a mix. I saw the lightshow and was addicted to that. Today I perform lightshows myself and I work with regional bands or artist. Did anyone else visit that concert ?
Please write to me. Peter |

I can only try to tell this band called NEKTAR how much you have meant to me and how special their music and the individuals are also. To Ron, Derek, Alan,and Roye you have given me something that I would not want to lose even in the afterlife. To Roye I say that your talent is unmatched in melodic, creativity, and talent. Not to mention vocal talent to boot. You are the man when it come to the whole package.
To Ron, What you have done with your incredible talent as the percussionist are second to none also. You are also on the top of my list for your extraordenary part in this group effort that instrumentally stands second to none. Your dedication to the accomplishments of your band are there for everyone that listens.
To Derek, I never knew a bass player could do so much to compliment and elevate a bands music before hearing what you have accomplished. Once again, I put you atop of the rest for your talents and creating special and coordinated music that is second to none.
To Alan, and your famous Mellitron and keyboard contributions I say your creative, special, coordination and one of a kind keyboard style is yet another part of an incredible uniting by chance(or maybe by a blessing above) of four very special individuals who have given a treasure of music that stands second to none to many of us.
And to think that I discovered you fellows totally by accident. There was a friend of mind who wanted to trade 8-tracks and there was this blue cased as so many of Bellaphons tapes were back then. It said Remember The Future on it. And it totally changed my future for sure. I have all of your music and always will.
Also to the newer members and all of the other members of the past Randy Dembo, Tom Hughes, Dave Nelson, Carmine Rojas, Dave Prater, and present Peter Pichl and Klaus Henatsch. Glad to have had and still have you guys.
In closing also would like to include Larry "Synergy" Fast, the English choir, and the German circus members too! |

Calderone Concert Hall Garden City LI NY USA in the early 80's Magic tour and when Away from Asgard came up the band (Derek) asked if anyone knew what the was about. I promptly yelled THOR from my front row seats and was advised (Derek) that " there is a man who knows his Marvel comics".

If the band comes back to the US again, you should play a venue called The Scottish Rite Auditorium. It is located in Collingswood, New Jersey. ( about ten minutes from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania).
People such as Richard Thompson, Ian Anderson, Procal Harum and Kansas have play this 1,000 seat beauty.
I'm sure that you would find an appreciative audience that is just dying to see Nektar again. I saw Nektar a few years ago at the Keswick Theater and they were great. Hope to see you guys soon. Ron |

Saw you guys in Lincolnshire. Truly spectacular show! Been a fan since 73,
and I can't believe you could of been any better than what I saw at Viper Alley!Roye's guitar work was otherworldly! The whole band was spot on!Roye-I was the one to the left of you-sitting on the stage soaking up the incredible sounds-remember?? I truly do hope you come back next year-I will be there!! Thanks again for a great night!! |

The Hollywood show was spectacular. If I had
only one word to describe it: tight. It was my first
Nektar show and I was amazed at how spot on
the band played. They are a great live band,
giving a little extra finesse to their already brilliant
catalogue of sound. It was hot in that small
venue, but I couldn't resist dancing my heart out.
Seriously the best show this Detroit rocker has
ever been to. My husband thanked me profusely
for dragging him to the show.
Thanks boys! We truly love you!! |

| Saw Nektar at their last U.S. show in San Juan Capistrano, CA, on September 2 and it was pure joy to see Roye and the band! They didn't play Remember the Future, which I missed, but they played a lot of other great stuff. I had never seen them before, but I have been a fan since the 70's. Klaus on the keyboards was really good and quite funny! Fun to watch him make faces, etc., as he played. I hope you guys ome back again soon!! Love you! |

I wanted to drop in here and post about the Space Invasion Tour.
Nektar were fantastic, one of the best performances I have seen in years, by anybody.
The band was brilliant, it was my first time seeing Klaus on keyboards and he is the real deal, just a great player who has the old material down pat and adds much to the newer stuff that they played, Dr. Kool and King Of The Deep.
The bass player was excellent also, I assume he was just filling in for Peter for this tour but he was really good and stayed in the back round, very low key but spot on.
Ron was his usual outstanding self , one of my very favorite drummers, never missed a beat, a true professional of the highest order.
And for Roye he proved what all of us know already who have followed this band loyally through the years, he is absolutely one of the best guitar players that I have ever seen, he is Roye, nobody sounds like him and he sounds like nobody else. A master. And a great front man also, he is singing great these days, sure his voice isn't the same but he still sings so well. And he is also such a great songwriter.
These guys deserved much larger crowds than they got for this tour, but that didn't stop them from giving their all every night.
I can not wait for the new album,can't wait to hear a full band album from Nektar, I know I would also love it if they re-recorded Book Of Days with the full band, Roye did what he could but that album would be fantastic with the entire band playing. I know it's easy for me to say because these things cost money but one can hope can't one?
Thanks again guys, you were brilliant. |

Awesome show in Sellersville, PA August 21st, 2011!
Thanks for the autographs on my Recycled CD cover.
It's now framed with the Space rock gig poster which is
signed by 2 members of Brainticket who also put on a
good show. It will be hanging in my home recording
studio and enjoyed for years to come. Hope to see you
back here in the future. There's a very cool venue in
Bethlehem, PA called Steel Stacks that is a RECYCLED
old steel mill who's stacks are visible behind the stage.

It was short but sweet.
I'm the one with the 1977 original $5.00, ticket from your gig @ Bekeley Community Theater. The last time I had a chance to see you. We are the one's who gave Ron the Ganja. Glad you enjoyed.
And PLEASE!!! Don't let the capacity on a Thursay night disgruntel you from coming back our way.
Try the Independent in San Francisco on your next US tour.

| Saw you in '75 & 77 in Cleveland. Amazing shows ... you really blew away the opening acts at the '77 Music Hall concert (they didn't even belong on the same stage). I thought I'd never have another chance to see you again. Unfortunately, I missed the 2005 gig at the Agora (never even heard about it). And then out of nowhere, you show up at the Beachland. Awesome. Brought me right back to the 70's. Couldn't have done it better. Great bass & keyboard work from the new guys to compliment the usual great work from Roy & Ron! And the lights? It was flashback time, without even any drugs. Only negative was that nobody commented on (or even noticed?) my trademark Nektar segmented body tattoo on my arm. Guess everybody was just too spaced out from the whole stunning experience! |

We were lucky to see Nektar last night in Darien IL. I
have seen hundreds of shows over the last 20 years
and this most certainly ranks as one of the best I have
ever seen. The band is absolutely amazing and
should not be missed!
Roye said at the end of the show that Nektar will
be back next year; I'll be there for sure and anyone
who didn't get a chance this time around should keep
an eye open next year for their return. |

I'm sorry you had to cancel the Las Vegas show. I was really looking forward to seeing Nektar for the first time. Please find a way back to the west, especially Phoenix, AZ when it's not sooo hot. I hope to finally see you maybe during the "Juggernaut" tour. Have a great time with the remaining shows. I will see you in the future. |

Acompanho desde 1969 esta incrível banda, a qual marcou muito minha juventude e até hoje reputo como uma das mais singulares e brilhantes que pude ouvir e assistir. Sua sonoridade e musicalidade expressam a vida, a existência, com seus tons e acordes mais do que afinados, assim como a singeleza do toque harmônico a preencher o ar com suas cores, essências e vibrações tonais vigorosas e melodias estonteantes, os quais estimulam a mente e o prazer daí decorrentes.
Gostaria muito de poder assistí-los no Rio de Janeiro, acaso um dia tenham esse projeto em mente.
Forte abraço de um inveterado fã! |

| I am THRILLED to find your web page! A long time ago, 1975 probably, a group of us saw you perform at a small club near the Wisconsin border, not far from Chicago. The place was called the Night Gallery. You did a show that was phenomenal, and then announced that you would be back for a second night, the next night. Well...we all came back the next night, but because there was no promo for it, there were only about 20 fans. Instead of playing you set list, you asked for requests. It was great! You guys took a break and a couple of you came over to our table and sat and had a drink with us. As I said, a LONG time ago, but still a great memory. THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC AND THE MEMORIES! |

I discovered Nektar and found a copy of RTF in a Sears Store while my car was
being repaired back in the 1970's Then I bought every album I could get my hands on at a store called Heads Together in the imports section.
I turned all my friends on to Nektar when They played in Pittsburgh in 1976
Best concert I have ever Seen and Heard
in my "Entire Life" Absolutely Incredeble |

Thank!You for still going strong.
I bought my first Nektar record in 1973 "Tab in the ocean" and was blown away.I was 16 then. Since then i have listen to Nektar nearly every day. Have been waiting for a concert here in Sweden and I´m still waiting. There must bee a lot of fans here soo it shouldnt bee any problems with a concert. I have been waiting since 1973 but in 2008 i went to The Borderline in London and watched Nektar performe. The best concert in my life performed by the best band in the world. Nektar rules! Love you guyes! |

First Time I saw Nektar in July 1973 at Beat Club Langelsheim (Wenne). I was 14 years old and it was a great show. I believe, Nektar had a second show in Langelsheim in 26.December 1973. Is this possible.
Now I have a question. In the Collectors Corner is a special offer from the conert 1973 in Langelsheim. Is this a CD or a DVD.
Please give me an answer and I´m happy

I love your music and so does my best mate and I
reckon you guys should be performing in Sydney
and Melbourne, Adelaide and Brisbane. I just sent of
venue details to you. Uriah Heep and jethro Tull
play here and you guys are Heeps better so where
are you????
The music you produce is so very tasty and cool and
professional and is sure a hit with baby boomers
like us as well as a whole lot of younger concert
goers. The baby boomers here are very heavy
concert goers. I saw Deep Purple sometime ago and
thousands go to the Sports Stadium, ACER ARENA
etc. Let me know if you want some info. Santana are
here, please come. You guys are the best!!
I have nearly all your albums as do friends of
mine!!!! We will definitely be ordering the latest one
and are most eager. I plan to buy a Tshirt and
advertise you. |

I saw Nektar in St. Louis Missouri in 1974
for the midnight show on September 14th at
the Ambassador Theater. This was a
Remarkable show. It would be incredible to
get a set list for this show. the audiance
was SO receptive to a "first of its Kind"
musical event. Highlihts were obiously the
whole "Remember the Future" set but It's
All Over and Marvelous Moses was good |

| In the early '70s, while at university, my musical tastes shifted to progressive rock, and of course to Nektar. There are very few bands in this world that have touched me emotionally as Nektar. Whenever I listen to any album, I either have a massive smile on my face or I'm crying like a baby. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. |

| I recently saw Roger Waters perform The Wall in Washington DC. Anytime I see a "proggy" act like Waters, The Australian Pink Floyd, or a local Pink Floyd band named Several Species, I always "Show the colors" and wear my favorite black Nektar T-shirt. You'd be surprised how many people smile, cheer, and call out "Hey Nektar!" I encourage the rest of you to do the same. Make sure people know that NEKTAR LIVES! |

I´m sitting here with my 17 year old

when I was younger. Looking by lastfm we
found your Band. Could it be that you
lived in Seeheim, Germany about 35 years
ago? If that´s so I remember listening
to Rod Stewart in your living room ;-
)drinking some wine. And naturally see
you at a concert. Fine that your still

| Coincidence I am sure, but anyways I was watching flashforward today, the new show you know, and one of the characters mentioned the phrase "...we were special, we could Remember the Future". Kinda wierd since their was a flashforward team or group that used to disseminate info on Nektar in the mid 2000's I believe, maybe Roye and the boys had ESP or as I say ESPN. Freaky. |

Meinen ersten Kontakt zu Nektar fand 1980 mit der LP "Remember the Future" statt. Danach folgten weitere Alben und später CDs, doch leider erlebte ich sie nie live..bis auf gestern. Sie spielten im Cafe Central in Weinheim. Was war dass für ein überragendes Konzert: so viel Spielfreude habe ich noch nicht erlebt.Die Musik entfachte einen Klangzauber, dem man sich nicht entziehen konnte, und auf der Bühne standen nicht einfach nur vier Vollblutmusiker,sondern Freunde mit einem gemeinsamen Anspruch:den Zuhörer auf eine Zeitreise zu entführen, die einfach nur Spass machte. Dafür danke ich den Jungs von Nektar und hoffe,dass
sie uns noch viele unbeschreibliche Momente bereiten...!!! |

| I discovered Nektar with Remember the Future, which is STILL in the top 10 of my all-time favorite discs. I was lucky enough to see the band live at the Hoffeinz Pavillion in Houston TX in 1974, an amazing show. I was also pleased to be a part of the presale to finance the Evolution disc, and thought it was a real rush to see my name listed in the credits. I LOVE this band. With they'd come back to TX! |

| I was stationed at HAHN AB, near Sohren, West Germany during the mid-Seventies. So, I guess you could almost say I was there at the beginning. I have almost all of releases now, on vinyl. I wish I could find them all on CD (the original cuts, that is). I do have them in MP3 from the vinyl, using a USB record player, but having them on CD would really be nice. Still listen all the time. Glad I found your Site. Keep on playing! |

Always have been big into music, and big into Nektar. Grew up in Oklahoma never had a chance to see Nektar live. Always held the band up there with Supertramp, Wishbone Ash, Steely Dan, Floyd.
Intrested in finding Nektar albums on CD if anyone knows where to locate. I did buy a digtial turntable but the quality isn`t very good.
Going to go check the site. Later guys |

Just watched the service station video-Nice live version of King of the Deep. Save it for a live album of recent stuff? I didn't buy Fortifyed simply because I've got most of the tracks live at least twice. But this version of KOTD is really good, reminded of the London concert last year.

Couldn't make a Jersey girl happier. Have never stopped listening and never will. Thank you for many, many hours of happiness provided by your music. You have made me very happy.

I first met you guys in 1975. I was out of high school for a year or so, college was not going well. The Moody Blues had broken up, and I was looking for a new band to follow. Then came DOWN TO EARTH. What drew me to you guys was the really tight rhythm section, crisp, clean, and very tastefully, and artfully done. The lyrics were interesting to say the least. I've been a fan of the hollow body ES335 sound for my whole adult life. What a great sound, what a great album, what a great band. Thanks for years of pleasure guys.

YES IT IS SO GOOD! DAMMIT THAT THERE IS SHORTAGE OF SUCH WORKS IN THE WORLD.STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL! |

Hi Nektar-
Happy New Year 2010-
I've been a fan of yours since 1972 when I picked up Journey To The Center of the Eye at an Jack's record store in Westfield, New Jersey. I continued on my Nektar journey thru the years. I first saw Nektar in 1975 at the Casino Arena in Asbury Park, New Jersey. I've been in Germany for 10 years now and while her I saw you twice. Hope to see you this year.

Great to hear that the band will be back in Germany next year. It has been a while since I saw them live at an open air event in Remscheid back in 1980 or 1981.

I was a teen in the mid 70s, who was witnessing
the music scene cynically abandoning the artistic
values & standards I so treasured from a few years
before. One day I was going through the "delete"
bin of a department store in my small prairie
Canadian town, when I spotted the fantastic
psychedelic sleeve of "Remember the Future". I'd
never heard of Nektar but the album looked really
promising so I bought it. I've been a huge Nektar
fan ever since, and it's so great to have the band
still with us. Before the internet age it was *really*
hard to get any information in western Canada
about Nektar, but at least I managed to get most of
the albums. Nowadays the Pure DVD is the thing I
play most - love every minute of it. Hope you're
with us for a good while yet guys!! |

What a lucky day 40 years (+ 1 day) ago, as 4 boys decided to form a band they called Nektar later.
And they afforded such a marvelous unique sound and music never to forget when you have heard it and seen the lightings performed magic by the fifth boy.
Thank you for such magic moments not only at concerts which enriched my life.
Thanks for keeping this music alive and I'm looking forward to the next album.

| I just pulled out my turntable, after too many years, and am enjoying "Journey..." and vaguely recalling our visits to the house in Deutschland. Taffy, Roye, Mick, Mo and Ron, thanks for signing the cover. You may recall the inner art. You guys were at somebody's dinner table. You'll certainly not recall the "soldiers" that visited you while we were stationed in Darmstadt, I was surprised that I remembered considering the altered state of consciousness we were usually in when out and about. Those visits were the highlight of my tour in Germany. I will follow your tour schedule. We'll make the effort to catch you live, hopefully in Michigan. Here's hoping Keith and Mick are still making magic... |

Geeze it's been a long time since I've seen or heard anything about you guys. Still holding on to a ticket when I saw Nektar play at the Capitol Theater in Passaic New Jersey USA on Saturday November 27th 1976...3rd row seats and the ticket was only $7.00 U.S. dollars! What a show! Still have a lot of the original vinyl, Sounds Like This, Recycled, Remember The Future, Live In New York, Nectar (1976 recorded at Dierks Studio, Germany), A Tab In The Ocean, Magic Is A Child. I've got some catching up to do...thanks for the great music!

The new album (Fortified) transports me right back to listening to 'Tab in the Ocean' at University in 1973 and reminds me you are never too old to rock :)
Can't believe I never went to see Nektar live - what have I missed? Will be watching out in future. |

| In the Spring of 1975, I was able to see Nektar on April 26, Hawkwind on May 10, then Pink Floyd on June 23 in Detroit. Really the culmination of my Cosmic concert going.. Now where is that time machine of mine?? I know I left it somewhere.. |

There once was a time that shaped our lives by the music that we listened to.
Nektar during the 70's kept me focused following the Vietnam era; Remember the Future will always be there!
I am so glad that Nektar fortyfied my life.

Old time English fan of the band, first album (still have it) was 'Sounds Like This'
Listening to the album on Nektar Radio as I write, personally I prefer the original mix, but that's probably just a preference for the familiar. Tried to put where I live at the moment but, since you don't have Egypt on your drop down list had to enter the UK instead.
Always been amazed that more muso's aren't familiar with Nektar, I've always rated you as one of the very best rock bands I've seen and certainly deserving your place way up on my playlist.
Long may you continue to rock and create superb music. Thanks for being.... well, I suppose the only real superlative I can use is........NEKTAR! |

| I also saw the band in Bristol.Dissapointing turnout but what a show.I had been trying to see them since the early seventies so this was a dream come true.I would have thought a few curious Iron Maiden fans might want to see what influenced Steve Harris & co in their prog side.I hope the poor attendance doesnt put the band off playing the uk again,i for one need to see them again.fantastic gig,one of the greatest bands ever. |

Waldbuhne, Northeim, Germany 29 August 2009
Well we eventually made it to see the legendary
Nektar at an open air venue (from Edinburgh,
Scotland). The band began with a fantastic rock n'
roll rendition of Crying in the Dark then motored
into Doctor Kool and King of the Deep from the
Book of Days album- excellent, excellent and
eeeer...excellent. The sound was good overall and I
was personally satisfied to hear you guys ripping
almost uncontrollably into "A Day in the Life of a
Preacher" - what a track and when it's done live and
well it really cements itself into your head. Recycled
was the swansong to your 'live" hour and it was
executed with electrifying accuracy. We thoroughly
enjoyed it all however we felt that there was not
enough time for you 4 to really get going...in
otherwords an hour and a half would have , perhaps
given more opportunities for you to play with...still
it was an experience that we will never forget so
thanks for this great memory. Although all my
professional photographic gear was confiscated and
deposited into a local fire truck at the entrance, we
managed to get some shots which we will, very
shortly, put onto the fanzine pix. We have just read
of the poor fan showing at Cardiff and Bristol thru
fans Ian and Alan respectively...this echoes this
major concert we witnessed which really is a shame.
I can tell you that at the college i work at there will
be at least 15 bodies wishing to see you fully live
and i am sure that with a bit of the old third line
whip being implemented many more would come to
see you play in Edinburgh or Glasgow (eg ABC
Glasgow)....well done..first time for us but certainly
not the last...Allan and Catherine McGregor |

| As with the comments of those who saw the band at Bristol I saw them last night at Cardiff. Crap turnout but I was stunned by the quality and the musicianship. To quote Alan in this blog - 'vigour & emotion' indeed sums it up. Rather ironic that on leaving the gig there were 100 scantily clad girls waiting to enter the place and transform it into a nightclub - how sad. |

| Having bought Down To Earth back in '74 and buying all the albums since then, I have to say that it was a privilege to finally see Nektar in concert last night in Bristol.An absolutely scorching gig, and I was transfixed for whole 2 hrs or more! A real shame about the crap turnout, but thank you all for playing with such vigour and emotion,and blowing me away! |

| I was around '73 before the release of Remember the Future and the Roundhouse gig,the original band were absolutely fantastic and it is amazing to see, with line-up changes and subsequent albums,just how awesome Nektar has evolved.The intro to Tab in the Ocean,still evokes emotion and I was pleased no end to hear Fortyfied,full to the brim of new engergy,Book of Pages,every album evolves into a new direction.People, savour Nektar,they are a band to inspire your very being. |

Hi Nektar Fans,
Glad to be one myself and continue to hear the excellent music of this amazing band. Been a long time gone, but had a hankering for some Nektar. I spotted the niffy t-shirts and have to buy one before they're sold out! First song I had to hear was "Burn Out My Eyes"/"Void of Vision." I like the easy intro on guitars mixed with the spacey. Then of course I had to add "Remember the Future-Part 2" with the same beauty.
Thanks and rock on Nektar,
Jeff |

Early since it's release "A Tab In The Ocean" has always been a masterpiece but never found any gigs during the 70s, don't remember why. Found the website a couple of months ago and come up to date with the later albums. Fantastic.
Just booked a ticket for the Garage in September looking forward to seeing a great performance.
Thanks for continuing the stunning music.

Nektar y Genesis son las bandas que me formaron musicalmente y me es muy grato poder escribir en éste libro de recuerdos. Sé inglés pero no quise hacerlo! SALUDOS |

In the 1970th we visited nearly every concert of nektar arround Böblingen/ Germany.
You brought us to fantastic dreams by playing a music, that took us like a magic bus to horizons, i`ve never been again. When I hear your music..Voyage to the centre.. it touches me to tears.
I hope, you know what gift you made to us with your music. Thank you for that.
Time cannot return, but perhaps we hear you one day in Tübingen.
Good health to all former nektar musicians and may god bless you.
Yours sincerely Detlev.

Caught the Nearfest and BB Kings shows a few years back. Thought I'd never see you guys again before that; at least there's some comfort in that fact.
Oh who am I kidding... what a bummer. |

I flew from Illinois to Pennsylvania for the RoSfest show. What an amazing show guys! There are plenty of younger bands out there that could not have put on a more energetic and awesome 2 1/2 hour show. I wasn't around to see you guys in the 70's (I'm only 24!) so I hope you'll get back over to the US for another show soon. Recycled blew me away!
Thanks guys. |

I also am a long time fan... call it something like 35 years. Though we will always miss Mo and Taff, Klaus and Peter are clearly up to carrying the torch.
And to those crazy Rosfest fans in the room who welcomed me with friendship and beer (you know who you are)Vielen Danke!!!!! |

Hell, I've been in a church only a handful of times in the last 50 years, making exceptions for celebrations of sacraments, weddings, funerals and now Nektar? Show me no rules. Very small, yet enthusiastic crowd. Roye, Ron, Klaus & Peter played for us like we were 20,000 strong @ Madison Square Garden. You can't ask for more than that. Thanks. |

I have since gone back and bought EVERYTHING Nektar I could find, and they were not easily found. Eleven Studio CD's, 5 Live albums and a DVD later I am totally into this band. I am traveling with the same friend to New York to see the band live. They are a new favorite and I am so thrilled to have the chance. Rock on Nektar! |

| HI, I only discovered Nektar about a year ago,although many years ago i nearly bought recycled because of the cover.i now have all the official canon of nektar and im very excited by the new live lp fortyfied which i will buy as soon as funds allow. i think nektar are up there with bands like tangerine dream eloy and pink floyd,infact i prefer tabin the ocean to dark side of the moon.However my passion is live albums.live in newyork 1and 2 and live at the roundhouse are superb.anyway if any other nektarheads want to chat feel free to email me |

| Many, many moons ago as a kid in Texas I happened upon a couple Nektar albums & bought them both because I liked the artwork. My little brother & I have been huge fans to this day & look forward to this new album.........He gave me that live DVD a few years back & its about wore out, so I may just buy another of those when I order the new disc. I figure in the 34 years I've been a fan I have probably listened to 10 years of just Nektar music |

A quiz on facebook asking for your top 15 most influential albums got me remembering your Recycled album. As a novice guitarist at the time, I wore that record out back in the 70s. I remember every moment of the music and every moment of my life at that time...... So obviously, the lp was in my top 3.. the other two were Yes Close to the edge, and ELP Brain Salad Surgery.
I was disapointed when I could not find Nectar on iTunes but then my sister reminded me of the spelling and immediately downloaded the album and played it all last night. To me, it is still as fresh today as the day I first heard it. I did my jog this morning with it and I got so into it that I didn't notice the miles going by.
I can't wait to get more of your work and I am so happy that you are still at it....
I can't find any Nektar T-shirts on your store. I would love to get my hands on one..
Your newest oldest fan!!!!!!!!!!

| I bought the "remember the future" album because I liked the album cover and unlike some others that I picked up for that reason I fell in love with the music. that was 1977 I think?? I Have been a bass player in bands since before then and NEKTAR has been a large influence in my playing style.I never got to see NEKTAR and don't know if they ever came my way (cincinnati, oh)but I have always been there in spirit.it is great that you are still out there and performing for the fans,"live is the only way to make the music live, thank you very much |

I bought the Recycled album back when it was released on Passport records in the mid 70's. Recorded it on tape so I never wore it out. Great music! Love the artwork on the cover!

| Was privileged to see Nektar at a small club in Southern California called the Golden Bear located in Huntington Beach. I was the only person there to bring in a 35mm camera. I took a lot of excelent slide photos(over 70). I got adventurous and craweled on stage to take pictures from different perspectives such as lying on the stage looking up the bass players mic stand with him looking down at me. When security tried to remove me they were waved away by the guitar and bass player. I then proceeded to take as many excellent photos as I could including close ups of the drummer. It was a superb multi-media show (lights, lasars and moviescreen backdrop). All this in a small club. P.S. they played the King of Twilight for me. |

| I've had "Tab in the ocean" for 30 years and loved it. For some unexplicable reason, I didn't buy any of the others. I've just bought "Remember the future" and love it! Will be getting the others in due course. Nice one guys. Ars longa, vita brevis... |

| I discovered Nektar when a friend lent me his copies of Recycled and Magic Is A Child in 1985. I found the music refreshing,interesting, and positive. I ended up getting other Nektar albums, and enjoy them to this day. My favourites are A Tab In The Ocean and Down To Earth. I read that in the seventies you guys toured at one point with Triumvirat, who are my all time favourite group. I have never seen you guys live,but would like to. Will you play near Ottawa,Canada? That would be cool. By for now! |

First heard Nektar in 1974 and had the great good fortune of seeing them on October 14, 1976 at the Electric ballroom. Roye and Mo Moore have had more influence on my guitar playing than David Gilmour or Steve Howe. My dream was to sit and chat with Roye. Nektar formed part of my life's psyche through their music and poetry and productions. They got me through my teens.
Please come to Minneapolis next tour! |

THank you everyone who came to our shows for this Autumn tour.
I would like to thank those who made our first show in London for many years a real treat, it was so great to see so many old friends and of course meet new ones.
Special thanks to Carina and the Mean Fiddler Organization and of course to Didier and the team at the Borderline.
A very special thanks to all those who travelled many miles to see us, and if we forgot to greet anyone..it was only because we were overwhelmed.
Thank you ALL

Saw you at the Borderline last night, awesome! It reminded me of the first time that I saw Nektar, at the Dagenham Roundhouse early 70's. The set was fabulous mixing old faves from the beginning with newer material. My daughter (18) who came with me and saw the band for the first time was knocked out by the music and is keen to hear more. Please don't leave it so long next time!
All the best

Nektar were the 1st band I saw back in '73 at Leeds Poly and on Monday Nov 24th they will become (temporarily) the last band I will have seen. I'm coming down from North Wales for the day just to see them at the Borderline, and look forward to meeting other fans, Look out for me and say hello, I'm a chubby 50 year old with long bluish/purplish hair, and a purple goatee so I'm not hard to miss.
Looking forward to a great show I'm getting all excited now!!! |

| Nektar am 16.11.2008 in Berlin, Przl.Berg. Herzlichen Dank für ein tolles Konzert, fast 2 1/2 Stunden gute alte und aktuelle Nektar-Musik. Mein erstes Nektar Konzert war 1972 im Berliner-Sportpalast ("Journey..."), insofern ein Wiedersehen der besonderen Art. Nektar hätte mehr Zuschauer verdient gehabt. Trotzdem toll, welche Freude Mr. Roye beim Spielen verbreitet hat!!! KLASSE! All the best!! |

Thanks for the super gig at Z7 near basel switzerland on 11 November 2008 (my birthday!), it was fantastic. I felt bad when coming in 30 min before you started palyin, we were about 60 people ! Then perhaps, we were 120.. And you gave it all ! So special. saw you in 1973 in Geneva, played at The Palladium and you still bring the same joy.
Wish you a great Tour in Europe !
take care and Rock !

eines meiner besten Konzerte ever. Das hab ich dem
Klaus gleich nach dem Gig sagen müssen. Von wegen
angestaubte Musik, da hab ich Iron Maiden, Pearl Jam,
Jane und Be Bop de Luxe rausgehört. Da werden sich
etliche Bands bei Nektar mit Ideen versorgt haben.
Dieser Sound könnte das nächste grosse Ding sein.
Klingt absolut frisch und unverbraucht.

Hi Y'all ...
Yep. I actually do "remember the first time" although it has been 36 years to date, years filled at times even beyond the brim, with so much happening that likely better storytellers than myself might have had a hard time knowing how to start (and then, of course, worse: Where, how and when, or even why to end).. some early or late summer evening, riding the electric streetcar into town, having managed to make it past the at times a little weird doorkeeper Walter presumably only because he liked the sweet blonde little teenage inspiration I was with (whom her father had called "my little Salomé" the other evening and who had dragged me along in the first place with an irresistible "You simply must see them", which usually posessed the tendency to make me even more wary) - Walter, who, as any true doorman, naturally had the power to refuse you entry without even giving a morsel of explanation, which he, as naturally, often did, mischievously peeking at the folks wandering down the steps of a curved concrete staircase through an opening riveted into an old metal door painted black and looking rather used, that once, who knows, might have even belonged to an air raid shelter that survived the bombardment the city had been subjected to during the night of Sept 1944, with an expression that might have borne the resemblance of a mischievous glint, walking into the old wine cellar rooms that were Marten Schiemer's "Underground" Club in Darmstadt way back then. The band was in the middle of a set, somewhere at the back of a rectangular room maybe 15 meters deep, a maximum 5 to 6 meters wide, with the equipment set up at floor level closely together if my memory serves me well, kids dancing away in extasy, flashed on by strobe and ultraviolet lights that gave you the whitest teeth imaginable, others perched on the floor in rows right up to the feet of the players.... Gawd, it does bring back memories. So what can I say as a then youngster who just practised his first chords on guitar, suddenly really smack dab in the middle of something mindblowing already well under way, that soon was going to sweep him across the vastness of continents only a little later, which of course he did not realise there and then.
Really a treat to witness this portal has been coming along ...
Bestest Regards & Wishes to You All,
T:-)mmi |

| Wow. It is such a great feeling to see one of my all time favorite bands back at it. I still remember being drawn to Tab in the Ocean because of the cool cover back in 1978. Listening to the album was a seminal surprise and began a 30 year love affair with Prog Rock/ Psych rock! I've always loved the guitar work on every album. Some of the rifs on Prodigal Son are excellent and I've been appreciating the jams on evolution. Nice to see you guys making music again. Come to America!!!! |

I had Tab in the Ocean when it came out but I didn't really appreciate it at the time....recently I bought it again on ebay and realised how good it was...have just been buying every original Nektar album i can find...both JTTCOTE and particularly Sounds Like This are superb dynamic albums, hard to believe that Sounds Like This is not hailed as one of the great 70s records.
In my opinion, along with the mighty King Crimson, one of the few bands worthy of the title Progressive Rock. Great to see this awesome band still have a following - count me in! Peace |

I've been a fan of Nektar since hearing Remember The Future on 'Room To Move' on radio station 2BL in 1973.
Their music & lyrics reminds me how vast the harmonic universe is and how this vastness, when reflected & opened within us, can be filled with music.
Nektar music increases vibrations & opens me up to new ideas & more effective ways of thinking, feeling & expressing.# |

| I have been a fan of Nektar since the 70s when I was introduced to the band by listening to "Down to Earth" on a Passport label when I bought it in a cheapie 99 cent rack at a local department store that has since gone belly up. I was very impressed by the songs on it. I never found another copy of it anywhere else since. Ten years later, I was bumming around a used record store in Boston and r |

Glad to find this site. "Back in the day" I wore out the grooves of "Remember the Future". It still sounds great to me all these years later.
Thanks for bringing back some great musical memories.

I'm pleased to say that I was in the front row when one of your amps exploded at a concert at Rider College in New Jersey circa 1976. Cool!
I plugged the hell out of "Down to Earth" on my radio show when it first came out. "Show Me the Way" got a lot of airplay. Nice to hear your new stuff & see you're still kickin' ass! |

Almost got to see youin Boston in 70 what. Concert was cancelled. Then you went to Rhode Island for a gig there and that was it. 30years and I still get a little emotional during a clear headphone set of Nelly or Moses. |

At first I was VERY dissappointed when heard about the postponed tour dates.
But, then it will give everyone the necessary time to put on the "Killer Show" you spoke of.
Can't wait to see the newly scheduled shows at the recently renovated REGAL Theatre in Arlington, Mass.
Best of Luck !

I listen to your music for hours getting lost in the lyrics and the melody while killing some brain cells.
I managed to retain the important ones that later in life proved useful for business and success.All thanks |

Are there any sound clips on the site, if so how can I access them? Of course, I want to thank the band for such a great show, please come back to the states soon, and maybe Boston, or at least so |
