STARS AND GARDENS - VOLUME 4

This is the 15th Anniversary for one of my favourite bands, which deserve the best recognition above all if you consider their effort to produce by themselves such a stunning live at Sellersville Theatre (Pennsylvania), dated 25 May 2003. Tom Hyatt has joined together the old members of the band here, including eleven titles within around a couple of hours, with four songs from "As the World", other four tracks from "Cowboy poems free", without forgetting one song for each of the remaining three albums (even though "Mei" alone-the recent suite- is 40 minutes long!!), for me essential. Ok- you see- it's a sort of testament live on stage for these clever boys from West point, and probably it's the last occasion to see them played live some great tunes such as "The cheese stands alone", "A little nonsense" or "As the World"...nevertheless their 2nd DVD includes an important variety from their Archive, helped by remarkable films from the Studio and a few interviews as well, which make this DVD very interesting!!

The production is not at the top, but their performance witnessed here is excellent and a must have for the lovers of such a modern prog genre, so check it out!!
