The play all their albums completely, nice

I wish I could go to see it. But I'll await the DVD.

I have just recently started buying their music, so I know not all of it, but what I've heard is perfect.

Maybe they will do a tour to support the DVD

I'd kill a schoolbus of nuns to attend the first two shows.
Prog is the new punk, becuase kids who shop at Hot Topic don't know Bill Bruford is God.

Which reminds me: I once attended a Magma concert which was very memorable. In the beginning Christian Vander only played piano and sang, and some other guy played drums. Finally he replaced the drummer, and the drums suddenly were double as loud (Christian Vander's upper arms are the size of my thighs). Later he played a solo, and I happened to look at the clock when he started, and when it just continued and continued I looked at the clock several times. The whole solo lasted 45 minutes! And it was not boring for a second! Most drummers bore you after the first minute of a solo.
