Conveniently starting with 'Night To Remember' from the 1999 album 'Full Circle', the band played classics from the 80s such as 'On The Loose', 'The Flyer' and 'Careful Where You Step'. Playing twenty five songs during a two hour set, the band closed with the powerful 'Don't Be Late (Chapter II)' from 1980's 'Silent Knight'.

The concert was filmed for what's going to be the band's first ever live DVD, which is expected for release early next year. So for those who were never interested, or even never heard of the band, here's your chance to see how brilliant this band is on stage.

This is a band that used to play Hammersmith Odeon up until 1986.  The next time they played London was over a decade later, during the 'Full Circle Tour 99' at the London Astoria 2 - and their concert in the UK on the 'House of Cards tour 2001' was cancelled for reasons that even Michael Sadler, the Welsh lead singer, just couldn't explain to me.  Nevertheless he told me that they're going to try to play the UK on the next tour.  So this might be another chance to enjoy one of the best live acts my eyes have ever seen.
