Warthur
This live album from the Window of Life tour is a step above The Very Very Bootleg both in terms of sound quality and song selection. Drawing heavily from The Window and with a single song from The World slipped in (The Voyager), the album is skewed towards the best material in the Pendragon repertoire at that point, though at the same time I could have done without the two selections from Kowtow - whilst they do provide an interesting change of pace from the more recent material, setting them against these songs only underscores just how far that album fell short of the standards we know Pendragon can achieve. In addition, the production on the album is of average quality at best - still miles about The Very Very Bootleg, but the mix is a little off, with Clive Nolan's synths being just a touch too quiet. It may be worth a listen if you are really fond of The Window of Life, though I personally prefer the crystal-clear studio quality versions of the songs.
