UTRECHT, THE FINAL FRONTIER
Written by Greger Rönnqvist

Pendragon are one of the better-known neo-progressive bands from UK. They have a big and impressive back catalogue, and this is their third and probably best live album.

Pendragon have often been compared to Marillion, and I think it's the best description of Pendragons music. It's a combination between Genesis, Marillion and Rush. Many of the tracks on the albums are over ten minutes long.

This live album were recorded on their "The Window Of Life Tour" during April and May 1994, and was released in March 1995. The gig you can hear on this CD took place at the Vredenburg Muziekcentrum in Utrecht Holland. Tracks from "The Window of Life" together with "older" classics such as one of my favourite Pendragon tracks "The Voyager".

The recording quality is very good and have improved since "The very very bootleg - Live in Lille". For every Pendragon fan or member to "The Mob", this is a really great moment and a good landmark in Pendragon's live history.

In November 1995 after this release, Pendragon were playing for the first time in the United States. They were playing as head of the bill of the Progfest in Los Angeles.
