Of salt

Saturday 18 february, @Le divan du Monde, I had the honor to witness the brand new Pain of salvation (considering only Daniel G is left from the start and the newest member has only 2 and an Half album under his belt.)

First as always, a small token of appréciation on the first part of the show who was played by a trio named Cryptex.
No the greatest name around but a great and interesting prog folk band who use many instrument and is doing a pretty good job entertaining the people.
Good luck to you guys, hope to see you again.

Otherwise brand new band, new voices going with the flow of the band flirting more and more with 70ies hard rock.
Daniel still has it, great presence and charisma , energy, a smile and one of the most beautiful voice in the business.
As much as I am taken aback by the new direction, the songs LIVE really shine and that is what counts.
Special bonus KISS reprise
