PROG REVIEWER
4 stars IQ's tour for Resistance was cut short, like so many other tours, by the onset of COVID in early 2020, but they were able to get this show down before that happened. In May of 2020 they ended up streaming the show on YouTube as a gesture to fans who'd been hoping to go to the cancelled gigs, and then they put it out on their Archive Collection.

It's an extremely solid show! The band are by and large on top form, though Peter is overcome with a bit of a case of the sillies during the closing encore of Subterranea, and the material from Resistance sounds just fine live. It's a genuine shame they weren't able to complete this tour, but so wonderful that they were able to get this show on tape before the world went on pause.
