During this concert in Poland the Par Lindh Project performed as a trio on keyboards, bass and drums, without violin players, guitarists or singers. So their sound moved even more towards early ELP, especially because of the frequent use of the hammond organ (connected with the distinctive Leslie box) like in the bombastic opener Night On Bare Mountain (incredible how easy Par Lindh switches from organ to synthesizers), the Mundus / Veni Vidi Vici Medley (swinging piano and swelling church organ sound), the new composition Suite In Progress (spectaculair fat synthesizer flights and sensational part that reminds me of Fanfare For The Common Man) and the compelling Gradus Ad Parnassum (swirling and gracious piano work, an exciting piano/bass duet and a powerful drum solo). The interplay between the three musicians is excellent (especially in Montagues & Capulet in which Par Lindh succeeds to give this classical cover an own turn) and during this concert the chemistry grows and grows, I also notice that the music on stage sounds more powerful than on the studio-albums. In two songs Par Lindh his loyal bass player William Kopecky gets room voor soloing, in my opinion he does a good job, very inventive and I enjoyed the fuzzy sound in Baroque Impression (then captivating interaction with sparkling piano work). The lightshow is beautiful, from dreamy blue and green to a see of orange light.

This is a great keyboard driven live DVD, not to be missed by any serious keyboard aficonado and ELP proghead so I would like to end with: Welcome Back My Friends To The Show That Never Ends, Ladies And Gentlemen: the Par Lindh Project, highly recommended!
