VDGG were probably my first prog show back in 2009. It was great :D . Saw them in Nokia Theatre in NYC. I actually won this raffle thing for the first time in my life and got VIP seats, which just meant I sat in a balcony close to stage it was awesome.

Thanks Zomby!


Scorched Earth
Your Time Starts Now
Flight
Lifetime
Bunsho
Mr Sands
Over the Hill
Childlike Faith in Childhood's End
Refugees (encore)

... they played one or two more, but I didn't recognize them. Nothing from the classic era. Peter's voice was in fine form and the band rocked the house.


I don't know what's "normal" for a VdGG set list, but "Flight" kind of surprised me there.  Isn't that a 20 minute suite on one of Hammill's old solo albums (Black Box)?  Just surprised that a solo Hammill song would make the set list, let alone a 20 minute one.

Very much so. Plenty of standing ovations. They were absolutely wonderful!

Yes, they did and it was incredible!! They played for a little under 2 hour's I'd say. Refugees was a special for NF only thing, so I don't know if they will play it anymore.

Don't rush out after the show.  NewEars often gets the musicians to stay for an autograph signing session.

Thanks for the heads up!  Love our NewEars friends!

They did a rare performance of La Rossa for an encore in Chicago in '09 (it was FANTASTIC!!) and Man Erg is almost always played.
