On May 6th 2005, Van der Graaf Generator staged their reunion concert at the Royal Festival Hall in London. The event had sold out within days of its announcement and over twenty-five different nationalities were represented among the ticket holders, none of whom had believed that they would ever see Banton, Evans, Jackson and Hammill perform together again as VdGG. After all, the last time they had done so had been twenty-nine years previously. Expectations and stakes were high. Collective breath was held as they advanced onto the stage. What would they play? How would it sound? Would it be worth risking the reputation of the past with these present efforts? With surprises as well as old favourites, new songs as well as recovered classics the event was, in the end, a triumph for critics and public alike. This double CD contains every note from first to last in real time as a true document of a unique occasion. Standard Jewel Case.
