Flying Colors

Small post to speak about the concert of Flying colors. You may not know the name but you do the people in it.
Mike Portnoy, Neal and Steve Morse (no relation), Dave laRue and Casey McPherson.
Great first self titled album. Mostly pop rockish with great guitars and drumming. Very nice moment with very catchy music. Hopefully they'll try to get a second album and get a more ambitious.

Raising the Imperial

Sunday was Flower Kings day ! The 70ies prog revival swedish band played a 2 hours set in Le Divan du Monde. Once again, multiple great lenghty songs about the human and his place in our universe, especially the capitalistic one with their last effort called Bank Of Eden. Even if the songs tend to go on and look like the same, live they take a life of their own. Here was a great set list with the big numbers they have put out in their differents discs. If you're into great 70ies prog rock, you can lend an ear. The songs tends to be lenghty and jazzy but sometimes you can find a pearl worth listening to hours after hours.
