Review by akin
Well, this is a live album, as the name suggests. And the album really sounds good because it was made before New Trolls became Bee Gees wannabes and meddled up their prog career. The problem that I spotted in this album is that the selection of songs is not their finest and the album ends up with some not so interesting songs in it.
The album starts in a strange way for its date because the first two songs are from their debut and the third from their second album and they play them the way they were, pop psychedelic. Then the album gains more prog relevance when they play Suite Disco (not disco music, fortunately), which is the most progressive of the album and Una notte sul Monte Calvo, which is another very good prog song. The second side starts very well, with Concerto Grosso n.1 and n.2, with excellent keyboard work, most notably the synthesizer in the second part. Le Roi Soleil is a good follow-up to the other songs, and then comes Let It Be Me and Vent´anni, which are both good songs from Concerto Grosso no. 2, but their arrangements in the live album are not so good, because despite the good vocal melodies, the instrumental arrangement is subdued.

Overall it is a good album, mostly because it was the only live register of the prog era of this famous Italian prog rock band, but the selection of songs unfortunately could be better and more prog oriented. ~ progarchives.com
