Thank you so much, Pedro Carvalho and Via Nocturna (Portugal), for this lovely review of Alive at Progstock !!

Here is the entire review, translated and reprinted in full below:

“The story tells us how the 3 project came about : Keith Emerson and Carl Palmer invited Robert Berry to play with them, replacing Greg Lake . Later, with changes in members and the death of Keith Emerson , the project was reformulated, renaming itself 3.2 . And when it was time to take the spectacular album The Rules Have Changed on the road, Berry recruited Paul Keller , from the original band 3 , Jimmy Keegan (from Spock’s Beard ) and Andrew Colyer (from Circuline ). In this format, they toured North America for 29 dates, which included a show at the ProgStock Festival . This show is now presented in this work with a double CD and DVD and where it is possible to go through Robert Berry ‘s entire 30-year career in prog rock , which includes Steve Howe ( Yes ), Geoff Downes ( GTR ), the Magna Carta Tribute series of albums , among others. The themes are introduced by snippets of the history that was at the origin and development of the projects 3 and 3.2 . More than the quality of the music – which, naturally, is prog rock of the best kind – what counts here is the historical and documentary aspect of this album.” [86%]
