Yeah. Wasn't that a cool concert? They even constructed some really vastly immense stone pyramid structures for the concert which remain on the site near Cairo. These structures were inspired by the ones seen in the movie "Stargate". -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top

The concert was a tremendous spectacle. -------------- “A dog is not intelligent. Never trust an animal that's surprised by its own farts.” - Frank Skinner Back to top

This album shows how diverse Mike can be in his styles. I think "Broad Sunlit Uplands" is juuust such an emotional pieace of music. All these tracks are gems!!!   -------------- Far away across the field The tolling of the iron bell Calls the faithful to their knees To hear the softly spoken magic spells Back to top
