THE ONLY WEAK MOMENT OF MY SOUL. YET I AM WEAK. OR AT LEAST I THINK SO.

A great live. Stop.

The pure essence of English Folk in Rock field. Stop.

One of the best Rick Wakeman performances (except in solo career). Stop.

And I wrote my review. Stop.

Hmm... And this is a correct review? Naaah... This is only a set of words.

'Just A Collection Of Antiques And Curios' conquest me for the beautiful cover that I see for the first time in a book of Prog Rock and for the second time in a book of English Folk. Neturally I bought this album. I heard for the first time this album in my car and immediately my soul was abducted from this beautiful live album. The second listen to this album was in 'Castelli aperti' day in Friuli, my regon. And see 'Open Castles' consists of two days (one in spring and one in autumn) where you can visit in my region with guided tours some castles ... The soundtrack of transfers from castle to castle was really good. But also for to go to the fair in Strassoldo (another village of my region) which takes place in spring and autumn in the two castles (upper and lower) I found this live album as he perfect soundtrack!

In general I love this type of music (but I have only few albums of Folk Prog or Prog Folk... Better Folk Prog!) and for this motive this live is one of my preferred albums that I have in my collection. But probaly because the music is so great... In this live the music is perfect fron fist second to last second. Because played wih love and devotion from great musicians.

This music is Folk, English Folk with Rock treatment, without claims, if not give birth to a masterpiece. The sound is too amazing... And the final result is great, I repeat. And I haven't otherwords for to describe this... enormous masterpiece.

If you love Folk Prog I think that 'Just A Collection Of Antiques And Curios' is a perfect album for your dreams and, sure, for your gold collection.
