Notes: The digital recording of this set was listenable but suffered from some distortion problems, especially during the second half of the set. This cassette "back up" recording doesn't have as good overall sound quality as the digital recording, but it doesn't suffer from the distortion and seems louder during the quiet parts (making it easier to hear stage annoucements, audience comments, etc). The band kept growing all through the set. They started as a trio (guitar, drums, keys) for the first song, then added the sax player, and finally added a vocalist for the last two songs. The "tap tap tap" noise you can occasionally hear early in the set was a guy near the recorder setting up his tent (you're hearing him pound stakes into the ground). The epic-length "Inaugural Bash" got cut off when side one of the tape ran out, but I quickly flipped the tape and got the remainder on side two. About ProgDay: ProgDay is an outdoor festival of progressive rock that has been held annually since 1995. In 1996 it was expanded from one day to two and has been hosting anywhere from eight to eleven progressive rock bands each year since. The event takes place at beautiful Storybook farm, unless rain forces it indoors (which has fortunately only happened twice in the festival's history). It's a relaxed atmosphere, where you can view from anywhere you want - right up against the stage for the bands you like, or back in the vendor tent while CD shopping during bands you're not wild about. The people are friendly, and the band members often hang out all weekend taking in the show and chatting with fans when they're not on stage. If you're a prog rock fan and can possibly attend, it's well worth the effort. The festival just barely breaks even (or sometimes doesn't), so every ticket sold really helps. Go if you can. About Deluge Grander: This band's music is hard to pin down. They were introduced as this year's avant-prog band, but I'd say their sound overall is more symphonic prog. They definitely like epic-length compositions. When the vocalist joined them, the music changed directions completely into a more introspective, vocal-oriented sort of thing, but they switched back to the prog-epic style for the last song. The two studio albums that I bought at ProgDay (August in the Urals and The Form of the Good) and this live performance all continue to grow on me with each listen.
