All good things must come to an end. In just a few short hours it would be "the morning after" and we would be back in Miami. Although there was one more show scheduled after this (Pamela Moore in the same lounge with a sad turnout of perhaps a dozen people), it was Three Friends that put the icing on an already sinful cake, capping off five days of this non-stop prog feast. I hustled over from PFM Storytellers and barely made it in time to the packed Black & White Lounge. Major thanks go to HS and MD for saving me a perfect seat in the sweet spot, helping me to produce what is perhaps the best recording of the entire cruise. The performance is so good that I've been feeling guilty about keeping it to myself. And, as a testament to the talent of Three Friends and the wealth of the Gentle Giant catalogue, half the set was different from when I had last seen them on Day 2. This was the perfect conclusion to CTTE 2014.

I hope you enjoy these recordings as much as I did sharing them with you. Please take a moment to thank CQ and ethiessen1 for tackling another enormous project with me. My cabin-mates HS, MD, and DW were extremely accommodating and helpful in my quest to document as much music as possible during this dream vacation. Everything else is going to feel anti-climactic after this. There's only one solution - CTTE 2015! Start saving now. See you onboard! We now return you to your regularly scheduled program.
