It was okay- singer stumbled on the scansion at one point but if course I've been listening  to the original for decades so any deviation would stand out.
It sort of pleases me the ISB  are , in this case at least,   included as part of a prog.  canon. ' Ithkos' might have  been a better choice.

The ISB piece was very good to my ears, and Gruf Rhys' best performance. He was the weak link to a certain extent, when he first came on to sing Living In The Past he was like a deer in the headlights and had a bit of a 'mare. Glad he improved as the nerves eased as it was his birthday.

That looks like a bootleg. The school one contained a cd, a dvd, a T shirt, posters etc etc and sold for about £40. . Really wish I'd  got one.. The presentation was interesting but inaccurate and contained some footage from non festival gigs. I was the only one in our group who watched it who wasn't there due to exams. The parents of. Phil Mason of Alfa Nine were at the presentation and speak in the film. A lot of people I know who went haven't been to a festival since!!!

Ah, Ozit-Morpheus Records... I have a Beefheart album on that label - "Merseytrout - Live in Liverpool" - I bought it because I attended that very gig, which was in a nightclub (I think called Bailey's or Romeo & Juliet's by then, but had been the Top Rank Suite).  Happy days/daze indeed.

(Incidentally, the album title is loosely connected to the Liverpool term "Mersey goldfish" - aka a jobbie). However, the album is far from sh!te.

This one, Nick?

So looking forward to seeing this.  Any thoughts on the ISB piece?

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.
