EVENING DREAMS

As a collector of concert video, I have seen and heard some good stuff and some bad. This one is a keeper for anyone who just likes good music. Coming from METAL MIND PRODUCTIONS a company who does video productions for most of todays working progressive bands, I already knew how the video would look. They tend to use most of the same camera angles and tricks for all their product. The sound quality hit me right off with the opening track, " Never,never". The musicians themselves give a fairly stately performance ( see any progband video) but then how animated can progressive musicians be? The bottom line on the video is that it looks great and when played on a top notch home theatre system really, really rocks. Wojtek Szadkowski is as amazing to watch as he is to listen to. For such a tame looking guy he really bangs out some awesomely aggressive and mind blowing rhythms. Sarhan Kubeisi is the guitarist and does a good job not overstating his resemblance to Steve Rothery. One of the treats in this video is during the performance of BEAUTIFUL WORLD when Mr. Kubeisi joins Wojtek for a short but powerfully exciting drum duet a - la Phil and Chester style. Had me mesmerized. Highly recommended.
