4 жыл бұрын

@@Aloysius2113 yeah he's AMAZING on the albums, and there's definitely a lot to be said for bringing the energy on stage as the frontman, even if the vocal performance suffers for it... and its hard to completely nail all the notes live every time no matter what you do. But not that many people who aren't musicians notice if a singer is slightly off-pitch live, especially when they're caught up in the overall atmosphere and action of a live show so its actually a pretty minor gripe. For those of us who are blessed/cursed with a good ear, it can be pretty hard to ignore.

I'm declaring this the greatest shit ever.

This is my first time checking out TMV. I read somewhere that they were a prog band, so I had to check them out. I get a very strong King Crimson vibe from this (especially when the sax came in). I like it. Before this, I watched some concert footage taken three years later (in 2010) and there were different guys in the band, and there were only 5 of them, and it wasn't as good as this performance.

TMV are almost as diverse as King Crimson in their vibe, sound and personnel. The 2005-2008 era is considered to be the most proggy and the most grand in terms of live arrangements. Alas, there aren't many pro-shot performances from then. In 2009 they went for a more stripped down approach, even while playing the same songs.
