Having been there in the flesh, I can confirm it was an awesome inspiring night

I was slightly worried after the first 2 pieces but from that point onwards it was magnificent. From Northern Lights to Tubular Bells was a fantastic run that left me actually vibrating with adrenaline! During the 2nd half, the Crimson section actually left my wife crying with emotion and Great Gig In The Sky/Crime Of The Century were exceptional.

I'm really looking forward to watching it again on tv, wait until you see Jane weaver, it was like looking at Annie Haslam circa 1978, and in the room her vocal was the standout of the night, with The Staves a close second.

Also, when not performing, Carl Palmer and his partner were sitting 5 seats to my left.

Enjoyed the Prog Prom on good old FM radio last evening.

Yes, Renaissance, Oldfield and Gentle Giant pieces were my delights ,  but it was all  good .

I hadn't heard  Jane Weaver before, and wondered if her voice was suited. Nothing distinctive.  Maybe she's better on her own material.

I recently went to a film and talk about Hollywood at the local museum. There was quite a bit of Dead in it including an interview with Bobby. Mrs Reg and The Amazing Beatleman produced a multimedia box set of th festival as part of a business project by a special needs clsss, all with proper licenses. It was a while back but I sourced the Dead audio for them from The Live Music Archive.

I've been listening to a live album from a Pig farm near Stoke on Trent from 1970. Apparently their first gig in the UK/Europe?
The sound quality is ropey, but I'm enjoying it.
