what are you listening to at the moment?

Not a spoiler but the difference between 3hr radio and 2hr TV was half an hour talking to David Baddiel in the interval and the radio programme actually being just 2 1/2 hrs not 3.
Ergo the show next Friday should be the prom in its entirety.

I had a listen to the audio of "Prog Rock at the Proms" last night (NZ time.)
Someone has downloaded it to YouTube in its entirety, if anyone wants to have a listen.
I thought it was pretty good overall, Carl Palmer's drumming sounded awesome. Some items worked better than others. It was a little strange listening to an orchestra imitating Rick Wakeman imitating an orchestra on "And You and I," though I quite liked the result.

I am afraid it is a thumbs down from me for the Prog Rock Proms (just watched it), a few things just about worked but overall IMO the choice of singers was poor - most of whom I hadn't heard of. The orchestral arrangements were some what flat at times with no one really seeming to be enjoying themselves. There have been much better crossover Proms and this one just didn't gel.

PS I noticed that the Jethro Tull songs were omitted.
PPS Peter Hamill was awful.
