CAUGHT IN THE WHIRLWIND OF TIME

The band almost didn't make it on time for this show in the Netherlands because of a snowstorm. The guys didn't have much sleep and had to live with the jetlag, but looking at this Blu-Ray it didn't transpire on stage because the musicians were full of energy and enough to give a 3 hours show. They played the last album ''Lies and Butterflies'' in its entirety along with their classic songs. This band has improved over the years but it came to a point where you can't go higher. The band delivers his heavy Neo-Prog that show some style of the Neo-Prog bands of the past, but you can't pick one band close to the band, they have their unique style. The music is melodic and some passages are breathtaking mostly when they played their epic song of over 10 minutes, and you have 7 on this show. Michel St-Père on lead guitar delivers some brilliant guitar solos smiling most of the time. But I was impressed by the enthusiasm of singer Jean Pageau who seems to enjoy being there enough to go on the balcony and sing in the crowd for a song. He put on a little theatrical show with some costumes and also can play the flute and keyboards. This band is not so mysterious after all... Recommended.
