I was amazed when I saw this band on stage in the early 70's in Paris at the Bataclan . I was a teenager. VDGG and Peter Hammill are among the best creative artists I ever heard.

Glad I found this. Have been a VdGG / Hammill fan since 1971. Wish it was the full show that people have mentioned, but what's here is magic. Man - Erg is truly majestisc and Peter was on form as were Guy, Hugh and David. What a truly monstrous music machine they are !

All the magnificant innovative and intelligent musicans that was my big fan in the start of the seventies. AND I had the pleasure of having them all iin my dining room in Norway, one night, about 30 years ago. Always remenber! I was "bergtatt" when i first heard "The Least we can do is wave to ech other". NME (New Muscial Express, was writing. "One of the best LP´s ever released" I agree even to day. But "Pawn Hearts" and "He to he wo am the only one" magnificant, comlicated, before their time.

I havan't had time to watch the whole concert yet but I just watched Sleepwalkers and it blew me away. I love how this film shares the spotlight among all four musicians. You know that bald guy at the back of the stage, the one people mention the least? Well you can see him clearly here holding the act together like Loctite super glue. You can see exactly where the group's legendary chaos comes from. And you can see how Hugh Banton can hold his own against any keyboard player in rock but puts all that talent uniquely at the service of the band. And if that's not enough, there's also that singer guy who's not too shabby.

The only drummer that played to a similar effect, although their styles were different enough to make them not really imitators,was B.J. Wilson! They both put out an abundance of passion, energy, and honesty into their drumming. They orchestrated and coloured the music ,almost like a painting,whilst support ing it. I wholeheartedly support Doug and Marta's comments. In summation, two drummers way at the top of their game with oodles of style,class, and irreplaceable drum riffs,fills, and rhythms.Their unique ness is pretty much untouchable.They definitely bring slot of personality to their drumming! I do wonder why Guy Evans work is not noticed personally so much! To me it clearly stands out, whilst still respecting and supporting the other players with very much due consideration.I think Guy knows the high value of his contribution. Peace Out !

Of course I know of Van Der Graff Generator from being in the UK in 1974 when Nicky Horne played Refugees on his Your Mother Wouldn't Like It radio show which I recorded every night while I was in living in the loft at the converted horse stables at Shantock Manor. I have written six million or more words for refugees and help hundreds obtain residence in Australia. There song of refugees going to the west always encouraged me in my wiork and in my drift to living in the western part of Victoria.

Heavy metal progressive art rock genius when most wannabes were in diapers. Not a guitar led band -- who needs it when you have a soaring genius fiery reeds player in the Roland Kirk tradition: David Jackson. Hammill's vision, like Robert Fripp & King Crimson. Even Fripp knew this by appearing on H to He.
