Here's a review of a progressive rock festival by someone who wasn’t even there: I was wondering how the AltRock Festival at the beginning of June went, since 1) I really love Italy and would love to go back one day 2) the lineup was one that I really would have loved to see. So I checked on YouTube and sure enough there are a few clips to enjoy (thanks bungle77 – I hope you post more). From the clips it sounds like it was a really great set of concerts.
A few points of interest:
October Equus is a 4-piece now of guitar, bass, drums and sax. Keyboards have been jettisoned. I like the sound.
Ske sounded excellent live. No surprise since I guess most of the players were from Yugen? Love the use of toy instruments.
Wobbler sounded really great too...vocals seemed spot on.
Not a Good Sign has a nice mix of elements that’s a little different and very creative. More great vocals.
Looks like there was a decent crowd (?)
I hope some people who actually went will chime in. Here's a bit of ske:
