This is Pendragon's fourth live album since their debut CD "The
Jewel" in 1985. It was recorded during their latest "The
Masquerade Overture" tour. I can't remember any other band that
has put out so many live albums on such a short time. This is
their twelfth CD, which means that every third CD is a live album.
But that's OK because they don't have the same material on those
live albums (with a few exceptions). On the other hand, that could
have been a problem for many other bands, to fill out four live
albums with interesting material. But that isn't any problem for
Pendragon. They have so many great songs to choose from, so this
fourth live album is equally interesting as their previous live
efforts.
This is a must for every Pendragon fan but also a worthy
introduction to the band if you haven't heard them before.
As I am a Pendragon fan I'm waiting curiously for their new album
"1999" that is said to come out sometime this year. In the
meantime I will console myself with this excellent live album.
