3.0 out of 5 stars Not the best live by John, but it's quite worth checking out at least!, October 22, 2011

This review is from: Nomansland Live in Poland (Audio CD)

Well, by following the whole career by John, you can understand such an uneven music artistic inspiration, above all if you regard of his progressive period with King Crimson and UK for instance; and then listening to his solo albums of the late nineties (note: partially in the recent years as well), you accept the way John chose the commercial music, anyway. Nevertheless the present live production can be "labelled" among the different alternative genres, as for his recent attempt in exploring new music territories, even though quite melodic and anyway listenable, if you regard the likings of the common people...but coming back to the present live, I like to remark the importance of such prog tunes like "In the Dead of Night" by UK, here in a good version and quite listenable for the common listener; then "The Night Watch", a crimson classic that is losing something here, above all by comparing it to the original and the immortal "Starless", whose "incipit" is always melancholic and the development of the plot fine too!! Then I appreciate a sweet ballad like "Emma" and the good arrangement regarding "The Last Thing On My Mind" after the guitar intro of the opener, which is characterized by the typical mood of the most dramatic tones of a few solo albums by John!
"Rendez-Vous 6:02 " instead is lacking the famous solo at the analogic synth (CS80) by Eddie Jobson, cause here it looks like a normal ballad; besides another famous and a bit sad tune entitled "Book of Saturday" ("Crimson" Era) doesn't add anything to the original , but it is an intelligent contribution to this mix between the old stuff and that interesting recent one (except on a few exceptions, like for instance "Suzanne", a bit tepid...).

Not the best live by John, but it's quite worth checking out at least!

he tenido la oportunidad de seguir la carrera de este gran maestro desde sus tiempos en King Crimson, Asia y UK, en los que siempre dejo su huella por la calidad de sus composiciones, y su gran voz, este disco supera enormemente a sus ultimas producciones en vivo, haciendose acompañar ademas de musicos de calidad, el disco tiene una excelente tecnica de grabacion y la introduccion es excelente, mi favorita, Emma, a pesar de que el señor Wetton hace un recorrido de su historia musical, lo cual siempre lo ha caracterizado en todos los discos de este tipo que ha hecho, por lo que con justa razon es una gran produccion y deja claro porque este señor tuvo siempre tando exito y es tan recordado y querido por los verdaderos fans del rock arte.
