I knew Solstice back in the late 80s, both personally - and musically. This most recent incarnation is something special. Musically, they were always fabulous - but now visually too, it's all coming together. Outfront - Jess and the other two vocalists (Gwen and Ebony) always look like they're having the time of their lives. This really adds to the whole on-stage vibe. It's an intoxicating mix. Just add a great rhythm section, some really fine keyboard moments, heavenly violin and of course.....Andy's stand out guitar solos - and there you have it ....SOLSTICE. A REAL band and a great live experience - Do go check em out if you haven't so far. Better than 95% of the bands you see at Glastonbury. Looking forward to seeing them tonight at The 100 Club and later in the summer.
I hadn't heard Solstice until this year at Winter's End in Chepstow. Completely blew me away, especially A New Day - what an epic! Incredible energy on stage, an absolute joy to watch. Really nice to say hi to you Andy, hope to see the band again real soon.
Oh man, wouldn’t that be something. We were just saying, having been privileged to be included in many ‘best album of 23’ lists, all we need now is to access the rest of Steven Wilson’s fan base 😁✌️Thank you Guy!!
I am 71 and you reach a point in life where you re-appraise things, in a way that happened to Solstice I did like them but always went back to the Magenta and Karnataka’s without going back to listen to Solstice material and now think what did I miss out on, thanks to Barry on The Classic Album youtube channel. They are superb, the vocal harmony is brilliant, the playing by all the band is superb. The lyrics are great and the music is not one dimensional, their tracks have so much light and shade. Now to buy their back material. So delighted I found them (again).
Just a few songs into this full viewing. Loving it. Everyone in the band must be thrilled and very proud. You guys have developed into a live band that plays with passion, joy, energy, and professionalism. Great connection with the audience. Thanks for posting! I need to get across the pond from Canada to see you in concert one day.
I just discovered you guys in a top fifty albums of 2023 on a heavy metal channel of RUclips. As crazy that sounds 😁 I loved Light Up album and his fresh and vital approach of prog-rock. Keep it up! Cheers from Argentina.
Landed here after the great gig of yesterday at De Boerderij, seems to have been another amazing show! Keep up the good work guys! (Only pity Jess cut her hair since ☺)
Thanks for supporting the show! Don’t worry, her hair will grow back 😁 She did the same in 2021 to raise money for charity and donate her hair for cancer patient wigs 😍
Great quality recording. Loved the onstage vibe and energy. Pleased for you that you sold out - the audience had a treat that night. Thank you for posting
this is the sort of vibe you can walk in on at an event - never having heard of the band before, and just love it - ace musicianship making some of the most musical prog alive today.,.,
Absolutely incredible, the singing and the playing is top notch. I have never seen a band with so much energy and a band that actually look like they are enjoying themselves. The lineup is perfect. Don't change it....
Hey thanks Steve and great to see you at The 1865! I’m literally getting quotes for the blu-ray. So bloody expensive courtesy the absurd licensing fee required but we’ll make it work if we possibly can 🤞
That would be amazing! I'd buy a copy or two... 1865 was an amazing gig again. Hope to see you there again next year (or sooner!). Oh and thanks for the t-shirts!
It was my first and only Solstice gig so far, but I'll try to get to the follow up or anything further south?. I dont mean MK South. Have a successful 2024.
You’re spot on Chris… very slowly but surely. Only a few have dropped out along the way but we keep them there because they helped while they could. Amazing stuff and we simply wouldn’t be where we are without our Guardians. 🙏
@@solsticeukI am still happy to do so year in year out. Don't expect anything in return although I would love to get me a green Solstice beany at some point.
@@ChrisEchoes Chris, from your YT user name I’m afraid I can’t be sure who you are. The beanies have sold out but I’m pretty confident I have an ex-display so please email me and I’d be happy to mail it to you 😀
Hi Solstice Any way to get a t-shirt sent to the States? Ohio actually Let me know cost/shipping etal...maybe more than one if styles available If so will send address Love to see you here Thanks You are my # 1 prog album of 2023 and Sia before that Trying to explore old stuff too
Fantastisch und Wundervoll. Love this Music.
Thank you!!!

How about I take the trouble to look at the website ? That could work. Ta@@solsticeuk

Loved watching this again .... Am I mistaken or is the list of Guardians at the end ever so slowly getting longer with each video ? 🙂
