Every night since these discs arrived in the mail, I can't stop replaying this show. Not only the music, but also the message and sincerity of these gentlemen as "indelled" upon and within this DVD, seriously moves me. I wonder if there has ever been a live recording more meaningful, or quite as well-tuned than this? In "Miracles" I saw many years of a life "marrowed" into a single song -- a core performance. Russell Hitchcock, with abandon, empties his heart and visage into what might be the most gorgeous lyric and blend of melody & harmony ever yielded: and this written decidedly for Russell. Yet, somehow, these guys vicariously express what's ever been inside of me, that may too be heard as a pouring out of the heart of the pining that ages between adom and the Self Existing Power(s).
I like the newer band members, and miss those previous--especially Frank Esler-Smith; his style & orchestral way. We do miss the duelling electric guitars too...and the "organic-ness" which emanates from an acoustic, well-tempered, grand piano. [Perhaps you'd also wish to be aware that though the DVD hands over a dynamite presentation, the CD master was over compressed. ]
