Wait! Don't scroll on - this was no recital it was a revival! Denver's prog rock faithful filled the venerable hall to capacity and warmly welcomed the band, quickly rewarded for their curiosity.  Clear from the start was that these four players were 'in concert', synchronized and energized by the songs. "Neurotica" boldly opened the fray, familiar and frenetic. The band's sound, and so the songs' sound boasted a fresh edge: Steve Vai brought a searing attack on guitar while Carey drummed with astounding precision. Songwriter Adrian Belew, along w
