File this one under “Bands I never thought I’d get to see” – I’ve got my tickets for the Glass Prism concert at the Scranton Cultural Center tomorrow!

(It’s not the first time they’ve played there – they opened for Vanilla Fudge there about 40 years ago!)

They recorded two albums for RCA – Their first album, “Poe through the Glass Prism,” was released in 1969, and featured (as you might expect from the title) the poetry of Edgar Allen Poe set to rock music. “The Raven” was released as a single, and was a big hit locally. They wrote their own lyrics for the second album, “On Joy And Sorrow,” released in 1970, but the sound was still similar – guitar, bass, drums, and organ. From what I’ve read, they’ll be playing a 90-minute set, with songs from both albums, and some new material.

(And hopefully Ebb won’t steal the tickets on me!)
