The Review

After listening and watching the new DVD I was very inspired. This is a must-see concert recorded in Poland last June 2005. What a great concert for fans of Pendragon and Arena! The two old friends make acoustic music with class and style from the last 15 years (or so). Starting off with the "Walls of Babylon" playing very precise and very minimal together with only acoustic guitar and keyboards. From the opening moments into the heart of the show Nick and Clive displaying the true duo genius. Spattered by their comments about alcohol and the usual touring methods, the diffence displayed in this show is unique and bears the close friendship and musical mind of these two musicians. It was so great to hear songs like "Paintbox" (one of my favorite Pendragon songs) played again in acoustic style along with surprise tracks from bands like Strangers On A Train and Nolan's work with Rick Wakeman's brother. This DVD offers a more rounded version of these two musicians. There is not a bad track on the DVD and it offers some insight into the bands Arena and Pendragon's history.

My only complaint about the DVD was the fact that the camera person did not go in close on many of the solos. The photography is high quality and artistic, however the camera person did not seem to be a musician. But they did offer a crisp, clear image of the duo with occasional nice pan-outs of the entire stage.

A funny spot on the interview section was the fact that they have never heard of Porcupine Tree! Also interesting was the sold out concerts in Chile! Chile apparently has become the hot-bed for progressive music!

If you are a fan of these guys you definately need to check this out!
