As previously announced Metal Mind Productions will release brand new DVD by Pendragon - "Concerto Maximo". The legendary neo-prog rock band for once more visited the Wyspiański Theater in Katowice, Poland, this time to celebrate the band?s 30th anniversary. With their outstanding performance, possibly one of the best the Polish audience had ever had a chance to witness, and with their line-up strengthened by the addition of a new drummer Scott Higham (also known from his past cooperation with Clive Nolan on the project Caamora), the band surely proved that they?re still a formidable force on the prog-rock scene!
 
Nick Barrett comments: ?So, 2008  was the 30th Anniversary of Pendragon....they said we wouldn't make it....they were wrong! Not only have we made it but it seems we have made a most relevant album this year, namely Pure. This DVD was filmed at  the Teatr Slaski in Katowice Poland, which was part of a 30 date European  jaunt to promote the new album Pure, even though there are only 3 songs which is about 20 minutes of material from the Pure album on this DVD.....yes  we did want to play Indigo as well, but with 4 hours of material to learn for our Megadaze [UK convention] and Peel To The Power of  2 shows,  we never got to rehearse it. We also had to work out all the parts  for Pure as we were finishing the recording and mixing off in July. However we did want to film and record material that hadn't appeared on the other DVDs, but when we tried the proposed set list for the DVD in Bielsko, it didn't quite gel together and we felt missed a few classics, so we decided to make this a really huge 3 hour DVD , and add some of the crowd favourites as well, like Spell and Masters, besides you have never heard these songs with Scotty on......I don't think you're going to be disappointed!?
