Mostly Autumn

I saw Mostly Autumn at HRH Prog VI last weekend. Pretty good but I was still disappointed they did not play any/more tracks from their most recent albums.

I guess it is difficult for bands with a long history like theirs to keep all their fans happy - not everyone will have the same perspective as me. But having seen the band about half a dozen times over the last decade or so, my take on them is that they used to be mid-table in the Championship, but after a few player changes they were shooting up the table with their last two albums, Dressed in Voices and Sight of Day, both of which are excellent, well thought out albums in the prog mould. Certainly in the play-off places with a chance of automatic promotion.

But at HRH Prog they kept their best players on the bench and put some of the old mediocre guard on the pitch. It drops them a couple of places down the league I am afraid, but I have not given up on them. They have the talent to get promoted. Its just down to the management to get the right team on the pitch and believe!

Mostly Autumn were excellent as usual one of the best live bands out there with a good mix of old and new tracks in the setlist, well over two hours played so great value
