This is really kind of amazing; there was a big festival in November 2010 in Rome with a huge number of legendary Italian progressive rock bands, some with very high profile guests, as well as some excellent current bands. This is 9 hours of the festival captured both sonically and visually and it's a totally insane lineup. Featured are:
* Premiata Forneria Marconi with guest Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull)
* Banco del Mutuo Soccorso with guest John Wetton (King Crimson, UK)
* Aldo Tagliapietra/Tony Pagliuca/Tolo Marton (current and former Orme members) with guest David Cross (King Crimson)
* The Trip
* Osanna with guests David Jackson (Van der Graaf Generator) and Gianni Leone (Balletto di Bronzo)
* Nuova Raccomandata Ricevuta di Ritorno with guest Thijs van Leer (Focus)
* Maschera di Cera
* Periferia del Mondo
* Sinestesia
* Abash
This box set also features a book of photos from the shows. It's a bit over the top, but the music it is honoring and capturing for all time was often a bit over the top too, and this set is a worthy reminder of why the Italian scene still creates huge excitement all these years later; and it's even reasonably priced for how much is contained within.
"40 years after the birth of music genre, the box set is destined to become a collector's item for all lovers of progressive rock: the wonderful opportunity to live again not just a concert, but an unforgettable live music show which has already entered in the history of music."
