‘The pairing and combining of different typefaces has always been a particular graphic design challenge . . . Emigre has its own take on this typographic technique. But instead of providing rules, which often render safe but bland results, we believe that ultimately any font can be successfully combined with any other font.

It’s always cool when a show you’re attending is being recorded.
Video (above) is from a 1989 concert at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, CA. I was in the audience.
Jumping around in front of us was a deadhead who kept shouting ‘Jerry’s God!’ over and over and over. We were pretty sure he didn’t realize he wasn’t at a Grateful Dead show.
Wakeman was touring with some of the members of Yes. I was surprised years later when I found the show on CD – then DVD. The solo (above) features Wakeman tracks Gone But Not Forgotten, Catherine Parr, Merlin The Magician.
Catherine Parr, of course, was from his Henry VIII album. Always loved the cover, the inside had a cool foldout too.
