NEW IQ DVD ON THE WAY

Countless millions of years ago, before the dawn of recorded history, IQ celebrated their 20th anniversary with a special concert at The Mean Fiddler in London. Actually, it was only three years ago, on 15th December 2001, but it feels like an eternity ago. Now, at long last, and thanks largely to the sterling efforts of messrs. Wilby, Holmes, Aubrey & Lythgoe, the DVD of this historic event is nearing completion and, all being well, will be available to buy at the gig in Tilburg on 16th October. (Apologies to those attending the gig in Bury on 2nd October…we just can’t get it ready in time for that one.)

'IQ – The Twentieth Anniversary Show’ will be a sumptuous 2-disc set. There will be approximately 2 hours of special features on disc 2, including the encores from the concert, the surprise appearance by The Lens, Dolby 5.1 surround sound, a collection of the concert intros and outros and behind-the-scenes footage of the band on the IQ20 European tour…plus more! This brings the running time of the whole package to approximately 4 hours! Crikey!

Stay tuned for more details of the release of this groovy item.
