Title: Moody, magnificent
Product review: This is a great find for any Van der graaf or Peter Hammill fan. The disc contains a live recording from 1975 of the band performing the entire Godbluff album plus two songs from a Belgian TV appearance in 1971( theme one and a plague of lighthouse keepers).Th 1975 footage is fairly poorly shot, mostly close ups of either Peter Hammill or David Jackson and some wide shots of Guy Evans. Hugh Banton is almost nowhere to be seen. In all this is fairly typical of the period and for fans of the band is well worth owning.The two numbers from 1971 are another thing altogether. The director has tried to interpret the music ( Lighthouse keepers ) visually and has done a great job.This is a moody and magnificent recording of a great band.The last two tracks really left me wanting more.The sound quality of both gigs is great and I highly recommend this disc to fans of the band or of prog rock in general.
