NEW ; Kaipa Da Capo Live, 2018 issue released in 2017 DIGIPAK CD Barcode 7320470227855 Releases information Recorded Live, February 25th at Bryggarsalen in Stockholm CD Foxtrot Records - FOX CD 033 (2017, Sweden)
2014, three original members of the cult 70s symphonic prog rock band Kaipa, re-grouped under the name Kaipa Da Capo (KDC) to play the old music from Kaipa's first three albums as well as brand new compositions.
The 'new' band featured prog legend Roine Stolt (during the hiatus of The Flower Kings), Ingemar Bergman (drums) and Tomas Eriksson (bass). They were joined by Michael Stolt (vocals, guitar) and keyboard player Max Lorenz. After a series of concerts in 2015 the group started the recording of a new album, entitled Dårskapens Monotoni, released in 2016 and reviewed here on DPRP, followed by an extended European and Scandinavian tour.
Max was attacked on stage whilst playing with another band shortly before the tour on which this live album was recorded, and sadly had to give way to the equally magnificent Lalle Larsson. Michael provides the bulk of the vocals, and does so superbly well. Lalle had so little time to prepare for the tour, it's a wonder how he managed to learn the vast amount of material, no less to deliver it live in the sheer style that he did!
With a line-up like this, it's impossible to offer anything but music of the highest quality!
All the vocals are in Swedish but that should not deter anyone from giving this album immediate attention, as the music is sensational throughout the album. The 'live' show is a journey through the band's history, from the early 70s until Dårskapens Monotoni.
The instrumental breaks from Roine are exactly what you would expect from a guitarist that has been voted as one of the top 15 guitarists of all time, and who has written two albums with Jon Anderson. The band play together flawlessly and lead you through their back catalogue, with little variations here and there to keep the audience on their toes.
This is a progressive rock treat from the first note, until the last. Highly recommended!
Kaipa Da Capo: always impeccable, always quality, always a pleasure!
