taken from the site  http://www.vandergraafgenerator.co.uk/ - http://www.vandergraafgenerator.co.uk/ , which is usually well informed:
From July's Mojo: Has The Graaf Sunk?
"As a longstanding Van der Graaf Generator fan, last year's album Present and the live reunion gigs were pure manna. Since then Peter Hammill's written that, 'At present there are no plans for any further shows or recordings for this incarnation of Van der Graaf Generator', but stopped short of saying never. Will this great group ever play together again?" - Russell Goff, Liverpool
Fred says: "Good news. We asked a Van der Graaf spokesman, who revealed, 'VdGG are continuing - they're reconvening [in July] with the intention of future live dates and recording.' He added that a live CD from the Royal Festival Hall show of May 6 2005 is being readied for release, as is a live DVD, possibly from a performance in Germany. Release dates to be confirmed!"
Long live Van der Graaf Generator!

the DVD mentioned here is probably from the Leverkusen gig, which was broadcasted on TV in Germany

     I videotaped the German show from TV, and it was quite impressive...none of that embarassment one gets from watching certain later ELP or Yes shows, these guys were in good form, fresh, and kicking out some serious music.

Yay!
 
Could anyone else issue a description of the German TV concert? Enthusiastic audience? Enthusiastic performers? Good camerawork? Any antics? etc etc

The Leverkusen concert is the one which is supposed to be released in the WDR Rockpalast series.

Enthusiastic? Yes! And it was Peter's birthday. Nov. 5th. Though Peter looked tired to me. But I can have a closer look on the DVD. The show was filmed by 3 or 4 cameramen simultaneously with a professional equipment! For instance they used a big kinda lift which culd be moved vertically and horizontally. One cameraman was close at Hugh hands all the time.

Great camerawork, big enthusiastic audience (concert-sized, not club), cool lights, pretty good performance (although there were shows I saw in '05 that were better; still, VdGG at 90% is better than most bands at 100%!!).
