Almost thirty years ago Julian Baker asked Nick Barrett if he fancied setting up a band and so set off a chain of events that have rollercoastered their way through the decades.

Celebrating the 21st Anniversary of the release of The Jewel, Pendragon members past and present reunite and come together to play a very special concert in Katowice, Poland.

Product Description
This spectacular performance by the legends of British prog-rock was recorded on May 22, 2006 at Wyspianski Theatre in Katowice Poland. The setlist is a review of the whole discography: from such classics as Kowtow, As Good As Gold, and Paintbox, through newer songs like The Wishing Well or The Edge Of The World, to compositions from Pendragon's last studio album "Believe". In addition, a ravishing encore is performed and features "The Black Knight", a medley of older songs and a heart-breaking performance of "Am I Really Losing You?" This classic collector's item also includes and Interview with Nick Barrett, Band's history, Discography, Photo gallery, more.


Nick says: So, what we been doin'? Karl [Groom] and I have just finished mixing the soundtrack for the new DVD, and it sounds absolutely FANTASTIC! I have been playing the soundtrack on my stereo along with the vision mix on TV and all together it's the bollocks!

What we wanted to achieve with this DVD was an experience like being at a real Pendragon gig, so the mix is in 5.1 and we tried to keep the sound as true to a live performance as possible, yes mistakes and all, but there is no doubt, the spirit of the band really is there like never before. I am really pleased with it! And I'm so glad that even though the last video was 10 years ago, I've still got hair! Nice.

Even after all this time, I was still surprised by some of the songs, Last Waltz is great, the guitar solo in Masters just hits total Gilmour-osity, me and Karl found this great delay which we added to the guitar sound in that one and I was sooooo pleased with the way the vocals turned out in the whole recording too.

Anyways, it's out now, so you can check it out for yourselves. I think the whole concert comes in at about 2 hours and 15 mins PLUS the extra stuff for the DVD, interview, and a huge home recording section. All in all it's about 240 minutes long!

It is also available as a special edition with 2 audio cds of the concert.
