How can nobody have written about this? It's simply one of the best live Prog albums out there! If you take the album FACT AND FICTION as the basis of their success, and the incredible performance of ex-leadsinger Geoff Mann when they performed live back in the 1980s to have come out and replicate the atmosphere and style of the band some 30 years later is amazing and thoroughly rewarding. The Fact and Fiction album tracks still haunt and engage, with CREEPSHOW still immense. But this is a show lasting almost 2 hours (there's 2 discs in the CD package) so there's much more music than just F&F, and it impresses, as does the quality of musicianship. FIRST NEW DAY is a pleasant surprise. Prog should love a theatrical leadsinger in the style of Peter Gabriel, Fish and even Geoff Mann, and Andy Sears as lead singer certainly continues that genre with a strong performance. Unsurprisingly you'll find yourself singing along quite a lot! So it's great music, a great occasion and recorded with clear sonic quality. What's not to like?
