Yesterday's reunion gig was brilliant. Pure essence of prog rock over 40 years!

@MrAshaniel and NintendoW11 : This song was written by my father in law, John Heyworth (Cressida). You should also check "Home and Where I Long To Be" video that I made for John when he passed with pictures of his career. He sings in this song. I'm also an Opeth fan and I could never imagine Mikael was a fan of my John's band... I was in awe when I found out. Keep rocking!!!!

If you enjoyed this you might be interested to hear the wonderful news that, after 40 years, Cressida are reforming for a reunion gig in London in December 2011. See their website for details and tickets.  (If I enter it here, YouTube won't let me post the comment, but it sounds like cressida hyphen group then a dot then co then a dot and then uk.
