3.0 out of 5 stars
NICE GIG !!!, February 21, 2005
This review is from: Live in Nottingham (Audio CD)
Of a rather short (48 min. set) of the legendary progressive rock star.The playlist is OK till we get to " Make Me a A Woman" which I find a slow and awful almost vocal only song,not adequate for a recorded live set but hey,that's just me.The versions to all the songs are so different and full of nice variations compared to the original studio ones you only get to recognize them when you get to well known passages.Closing the record we find an 18 min. "disco" version of " Journey To The Center Of The Earth".It goes without saying only
synth,drums,bassandvocals(original singer how old are ya,mate !!!????? )no orchestra to boot.This particular version is well,very different.But what really saves the night is the impeccably dinamic,even and perfectly tonally balanced overall sound of this cd.It has to be heard to be believed because words really fall short on the matter.A nice addition to your Wakeman collection only if you don't yet have any live records.In spite of not having any info,not even the recording date,you can clearly tell it's a relatively recent one,because of the digital synths (how I miss the analog !!! )
