IN CONCERTO

First part is dedicated to "Truck O f Fire, Part I". An experimental piece of music featuring an average drum solo and some great keys improvisation, but let's be honest : to extend it to over seventeen minutes was probably not the best thing to do.

The short second part of this number is by far superior to the long and dull "Part I". It features some pleasant vocals and a dark and scary mood fully reminiscent of Crimson. This one (just over five minutes) should have been sufficient and would have offered a better angle to appreciate the whole of this live work.

This live album has a very weird track list. Three songs come from their second album (released in 1971)." Sguardo Verso il Cielo " (very dynamic and emotional but poor sound), "Era Inverno" is brilliantly introduced with a lengthy instrumental part and the whole of the true song is just a wild and psychedelic effort. The best moment of this live record and "Collage" which again is excellent.

Sound quality is no better than an average boot record and therefore doesn't really justify to pay for this. The great "Ritorno Al Nulla" is of course brilliant (as it was on the studio album) but being too short to raise the average level of this "Le Orme In Concerto".

It is rather strange that only one track comes from their latest album "Felona & Sorona". Their magnificent "Uomo Di Pezza" is completely forgotten as well. No need to say that this album is not a great representation of the work of this good Italian band.

Three stars. But be aware that this rating is on the higher end.
