Review by A Crimson Mellotron
PROG REVIEWER

The Flower Kings shuffle their discography on latest live release titled 'Live in Europe 2023', capturing one of the final shows of their tour recorded in the Netherlands, presenting a recording of six tracks, both old and new that really put on display a mature band of veterans who have been focusing on the more serene side of their music recently. The recording is quite well-made as you would expect from TFK as we have a live album on which each member is able to shine through in their respective ways (as the lineup features Roine Stolt, Hasse Fröberg, Michael Stolt, Mirko DeMaio, and Lalle Larsson); we can definitely speak of a brilliant mix by Roine Stolt.

The album opens up with a 'Garden of Dreams' medley, quite a nice rendition of the one-hour long suite, with the band focusing their efforts on the instrumental first half; then comes 'Big Puzzle', which predisposes Stolt and Co. to exercise their bluesy side. We then have two mellow tracks from the latest studio album 'Look at You Now', followed by 'What If God Is Alone' from 2005's 'Paradox Hotel', and finally, there is the classic epic 'Stardust We Are', a lovely playthrough of which graces the last half hour of this live album. This is a great addition to the band's discography that captures one of their really fine shows of 2023.
