But quite regardless of whether I am familiar with Fates Warning or not, I think I can say without hesitation that this disc is an absolute blast !!! The concept album "A Pleasant Shade of Grey" comes to my mind in this live recording still a lot better than the studio version over ... That might be also on personal taste, but I'm definitely of the opinion that this disc surprisingly ne unique atmosphere exudes! For a live album, it sounds really terrific at all: The sound is absolutely natural and not "revised all the way" over. Here I can only report on the emotional side, and there beats a round like a bomb !!! Especially the 20 minute epic "The Ivory Gate Of Dreams" leaves deep emotional tracks! All in all a more than successful live firecracker, I prefer the studio versions in any case!
