I was plenty excited by the NF lineup BEFORE they announced Emerson. having seen ELP several times, he's great, but I'm more excited by FM whom I've never seen and didn't think I ever would. Lots of the supporting acts are really good, and there's always at least one pleasant surprise.
Westerners may want to consider Bajaprog in March - Mexico is a bit cheaper than the east coast, and airfares may be more reasonable. I'm driving. Flower Kings, Mostly Autumn and Nektar are amongst those playing this year.
