I'm sitting here in awe, I never thought this song would ever sound good without David singing it, boy was I wrong. There is no doubt this is one of the greatest bands on Earth

@mihaliprefti2507 7 месяцев назад

Truly one of the greatest band on earth and what’s miraculous they started when real rock, prog rock was dead or dying and replaced by disco, misco, jisco and other … garbage.

@merlinscat Год назад

David would be so proud of the way the band performed his masterpiece

@KennethACrashwaggonMusic 5 месяцев назад

The lovely thing is you can tell the whole band is just having the most fun doing it. The smile on Dave's face whenR Rikard does his solo says it all.

@siddhartino Год назад

considering how young the new keyboard player is, he is phenomenal. everyone is phenomenal, great synergy, playing and stage presence! and ofc shout-out to Alberto. David will be forever missed, but he surely is an amazing vocalist and performer. I definitely hope in more italian dates!

@belalugrisi1614 Год назад

Totally agree, Banzairino, well said!! Best to you!

@worldprog Год назад

So many friends playing here, it brought a tear of joy and melancholy to my eyes. David would be so proud.

When i spoke with Nick directly after this show at that moment he did not really know what to do with all of this footage as even the Lorelei set wasn't out yet and the band wanted to concentrate on that one first (also because it was a tribute to David). But i also hope the band will get this complete show out asap. It was their 1st ever in a prog-venue where the audience was standing up close to the stage so also for the band this gig was some new experience with no-one sitting down.... Maybe some -inbetween- official bootleg release might be an idea to fund their upcoming tour might be a thought? ;)

@bigbigtrainband Год назад

@@tonyvandergaag8765 Given all of the other projects which we have in the works (and the time and cost involved in putting together a Blu-ray) we currently don't plan to release this whole show. But we may make a further song or two available in the coming months.

@tonyvandergaag8765 Год назад

@@bigbigtrainband Thanks very much for your update we all will be waiting patiently! ;) On the -official bootleg- thing it is not that i was waiting for a lavish -deluxe- packaging of the full show but just the audio or dvd disc(s) in a low budget carton sleeve in order for you to generate some extra income out of this fabulous gig f.i. as a -bandcamp only project- or so. Anyway tickets for august 26th are already in the pocket! :)

@buffplums Год назад

Oh Folks!!!! YOU NAILED IT!!!! My Goodness a brilliant performance and the new line up is just getting better and better, I CANNOT WAIT to see you all perform later this year. Greg, love your bass and your pedals mate, Clare, gorgeous as ever and brilliant violin, made the hairs stand up on my neck. Oskar, fabulous job on keys, Dave love your guitar and smiles to go around in abundance, Nick, cheeky as ever and what a lovely guy. Alberto what can one say, you did bloody great mate and the brass section, you add that something that few other bands have, that incredible volume just fills the air beautifully and as for Rikjard, Ill bet David would think that was definitely another face melter, YES!! Love you all folks... you really do hit the spot. xxx

@JulesAtCumbria Год назад

What can I say? Simply sublime. Oh, what a totally epic rendition of a divine track. To see everyone enjoying themselves so much - totally and utterly wonderful!

@REFondrums Год назад

This is the first time, in a long time, I have watched something on YT that captivated my attention. Never heard of this band. I clicked on it because I seemed to recall something Nick stated about that name. What a marvelous group. And Kudos to the people behind the audio/video work, as well. Superb. I need to find this somewhere. I haven't heard anything like this since the great Prog bands of the 70s. I hear a lot of YES, PFM, Gentle Giant and others in there. Classic sound made new. Fantastic.

@bigbigtrainband Год назад

Thanks for your comment and welcome to our world. We hope you find lots more of our music to enjoy!

@geoffjones4352 Год назад

Great performance! Alberto, Clare, Dave & Oskar have slotted in to the band really well, can’t wait for more shows & more albums from the bands!

Great Talent Band BBT 🎸 🎹 🎤 👏 👌 👍 👋

@fabriziocamisani5477 Год назад

It sounds like Alberto is blending in beautifully, although I have yet to hear him with the more challenging songs, David was an exceptional vocalist.

@ThomasLock Год назад

The camera on Rikard's guitar is one of the coolest angles ever

@The032750 8 месяцев назад

The last few releases by BBT sounded like they were in a holding pattern to my ear and while I love and miss David Longdon and what he brought to the band, I find myself excited about continuing my musical journey with Alberto Bravin at the mic.

Bravo Alberto! Lets hope the whole visa thing doesn´t ruin a 2024 USA tour. What an amazing tribute to David.

@buffplums Год назад

I can’t wait to hear this… have just heard the snippet when Alberto posted… do you know what, you guys really do make so,e amazing music, I struggle with long bouts of depression and yes nothing other than time and learning techniques can cure me but, music really does help me and even if I just escape for a few hours with my headphones on, I can escape with you guys. Whenever you as individuals, or as a whole are having a shit day, just remember guys you made a difference to me and I’ll bet many many more people out there would agree. You guys, really are the “bees knees” I think there is a song connection pun in there somewhere … lol 😂❤❤

@johnmayhew106 Год назад

There's no denying this band is special. I think David and Nick joining them is what made them so special. Before The Underfall Yard, they were a middling Progressive group. They were somewhat starting to find some footing with The Difference Machine but I believe Nick and David put them over the top with their songwriting and singing abilities. Just what they needed and they've never looked back, even with so many losses in recent years. I also think Rikard made a strong contribution as a multi-instrumentalist.

@simonwithers4941 Год назад

Beautiful music...I hope you do not mind me sharing the following, this song takes me back to 2016 and David and I visiting Nottingham Castle to view the Leonardo da Vinci: Ten Drawings from the Royal Collection...David would make frequent visits to the Castle during our time together from art college through to David's research into Captain Albert Ball...and to the work of The Florentine.

@bigbigtrainband Год назад

Thank you - David's exhaustive research was certainly put to brilliant musical and lyrical use.

@janineking3561 Год назад

I was lucky enough to see BBT in Aylesbury for the first time and they were awesome. They look so relaxed here and not only has Alberto had to take on a huge task in replacing David but is having to sing these epic songs in a language not his own. He surely deserves massive credit. Can't wait to see the band in Brum later this year.

@danieleggenberger9034 Год назад
