Oh please do finish that Van der Graaf review -- I find that live album strangely compelling. It's got a weird out-of-time 1978, here's a prog dinosaur band, "so five years ago" vibe -- but the fans who were there seem to love it (sounds like a small crowd!) and it's a unique record in the VDGG oevre -- their only one dominated by loud electric guitar (played by Hamill hisself)! A reaction to punk rock? Maybe, maybe not.
