I know, it’s tribute to their musicianship, especially Hugh Banton’s keyboard skills. When I first heard ‘La Rossa’ on the ‘Still Life’ album, it was David Jackson’s Sax & flute playing that first hooked me on the song, as well as the band. But VDGG seem to manage surprisingly well without him!
First time I ever heard drums played and sounding like drums should be played was this man , Guy Evans , way back in 1970 . He was not only the best drummer around but his kit sounded fantastic live with a deep and powerful kick and tom sound just like you,d expect to hear today !!!
NÃO POSSO MORRER SEM VER O VAN DER GRAAF GENERATION,OS CARAS SÃO GENIOS,ERAM PARA VIVER PARA SEMPRE...VAN DER GRAAF SE VOCES FORAM VIR PARA MINHA CIDADE,VAI SER UMA TRAGEDIA PQ NINGUEM CONHECE MUSICA DE QUALIDADE POR AQUI NO BRASIL
Infelizmente poucas pessoas conheçem Van der Graaf Generator, possívelmente a mais completa banda de rock de todos os tempos, se considerarmos música e letra.
Ivan Eu só fui conhecer eles quando morei nos USA, eu já tinha 32 anos e ouvia rock progressivo desde a adolescência, com 16 anos já adorava Genesis, King Crimson, Yes.....acho que já tinha ouvido algo do VDGG mas não gostei.....aí um dia, estava numa loja de CD´s na Florida, um vendedor da loja me sugeriu os albums "Godbluff" e o "Still Life" ....comprei os dois daí virei fã automaticamente....na minha opinião é a melhor banda de todos os tempos...ninguém chegam nem perto.
@rulle2008 I went to see them in Utrecht. And again I was overwhelmed by all three. This footage gives much of the positive tension from the performance. By the way. Before the show Guy mingled and had a chat with the audience. How relaxed can you be. Just good guys
Os bons tambem envelhecem mas não perdem seus talentos, veja este grupo de senhores de cabelos esbranquiçado pelo tempo, o tempo passou mas o talentos, virtuose a bela interpretação de P. Hammil, continuam ótimos..... por favor não parem por enquanto...
the greatest band ever grace this planet ...absolutelty amazing \!!!!!!
Hugh Banton is an exceptional keyboardist
La Rossa from head to toe.....Brilliant!
Great version! Amazing how they pulled it off without sax too.

Gracias por compartirlo.
9:08 and to the very last note!!! WOW!!! No one is getting younger, and Hammill's an aged man ,but gosh.... He still manages to nail it !
Le summum du progressif ..
Eternel remerciement ...
VDGG At The Academy 3...!!!!!How did I miss this ..[..thanks
Hi! Thanks for all you comments! Me and my friend is now waiting for them to come and play in Sweden, we hope it´s not to far away?!!
Sensacionalll !!!
Thanks! I´m glad you like it! Yes it was an great evening!!! :-)
This is my favourite VdGG's. Even so, Jackson's play would have made its sounding complete.
This is also my fav PH thing ever!

VDGG to Sweden, NOW (or at least sometime during 2012).
Oh my! The bass is played by the keyboardist !!

Not the same without the saxophonist
Brian Parks
