Small selection of shots from the Airbag gig last night which was excellent with a wonderful rapport between band and audience (love Prog concerts for both the music and the people who attend them).
Went principally to listen to the tunes from 'All Rights Removed', but also really enjoyed 'The Greatest Show on Earth' material which the band seemed to focus on in the first half of the show.
Was nice to have a walk round taking shots from different angles. There was also an interesting kind of interlude which seemed to point towards the absurdity of American politics and business practice (this created an unusual but striking effect - glad to see Barack Obama, who many Americans rightly or wrongly view as The Antichrist got his position top right below):
Also loved the 'fields of wheat' backdrop which appeared near the end of the show (and maybe earlier too). This just gave a nice breezy effect complementing the often willowy beauty of the music.
My favourite tune of the night? That would have to be the lengthy encore 'Homesick' which fully showcased the skills of guitarist Bjorn Riis in particular.
And at the end, the band and crowd fully appreciated each other after more than two hours of wonderful riveting music:
Couple of months ago, I saw Gazpacho at Warsaw Klub Progresja and was also highly impressed. Something interesting Prog-wise is definitely going on up there in Norway.
