"WHAT A SHOW! Opening up with Thick As A Brick was a great start! I was very impressed with the instrumentation on that tune, and all the others too. There are some of my favorite tunes in there: Salamander, Skating Away, Budapest, My God and To Cry You A Song!! Another BIG treat was having Dave Pegg join you. That must have been great for you guys - but everyone in the group is a great musician. I also have to say that I appreciate your flute playing, which hits every inflection that Ian offers, and your vocals hit every inflection as well. Great job!!! That was really an enjoyable show to watch and hear. Very impressive." - Mike M. - New Jersey

"This is excellent. I picked this up about 1 month ago and was quite impressed with it, and it also came with 2 CDs . Highly recommended. Thick As A Brick is a great 20 minutes and To Cry You A Song is nicely done as well. There are some surprises along the way that dance along, and Peggy makes an appearance as well so its a great two hours. I am watching the DVD again right now. Thanks Ray (and band) for a great show. " - Derek P.

"I love the album. It is beautifully crafted and well conceived."

"Just wanted to drop you a note to tell you how much I have enjoyed your "Somewhere in the Universe". I heard it first at a friend's pub here in Zaragoza and loved it from the first song to the last. Now, after having played it quite a few times, I can tell you that it is definitely one of my favourite recordings in recent years. Thanks for the good moments."
Luis Vallespín - Spain
