LIVE AT PROGDAY 2009

Here's a little band from New Jersey that have the same amount of DVD'S than CD'S. A band that resurface from the prog scene after 12 years when they did their Reunion Concert in 2008, that contains earlier materials and tracks from the acclaim Narrow-Caster's CD. The band is centered around the vocalist-keyboardist George Dobbs, who's voice reminded me of Ray Weston from Echolyn, as the music at times. The band offer a good variety in their set list here, with some ballads songs, other much heavier songs, and a little jazz influence. Some vocals performance shows a Gentle Giant's influence; the song "Dancing Over Scarlet Mist"

It's impressive to see that this independent band has present this show on a Blu-Ray with a nice picture quality and a good stereo sound. It's a outdoor show in front of a bunch people, unfortunately. There is not light show, only the beautiful "light of the day" and the surrounding trees. They played a 90 minutes concert covering their 3 CD'S and a nice cover of "Me and Sarah Jane" from Genesis.

I enjoyed the performance in general, but not all songs, my favorite tracks were "Apophenia", "Free For All" for the catchy groove, "Live this Forever" and "13". I was surprised that the band didn't played one of their best song of The Narrow-Coaster's CD, "The Last Gasp".

In conclusion, without breaking any new ground in the progressive rock music scene, 3rdegree deliver some nice music and i am happy to know that they have already some news tracks done for a new CD coming in the near future.

It's worth 3.6 stars.
