Here's another show from the recent Cruise to the Edge prog festival on a Cruise ship. This is Lifesigns, a really good lesser-known melodic prog band from UK, composed of veteran musicians John Young (Strawbs, Scorpions, Quango, Greenslade) on vocals and keyboards, John Bainbridge (Strawbs, Iona, Celestial Fire), Jon Poole (Cardiacs, Wildhearts, Lotus Eaters) on bass, and Zoltan Csorsz on drums. They played and were well-received at the 2022 Cruise to the Edge and were invited back for the current trip. They play a modern melodic prog rock with pop influences. This one hour set features a mix of songs from their 3rd and most recent album, Altitude (2021) and their previous album, Cardington (2018). Apparently, their regular drummer was not available for this event, so the band got legendary drummer Simon Phillips to sit in with them here (Phillips current band, Protocol , was also on the Cruise). So here is a very nice set from this impressive band. Check them out.  Note: Video of both this show and the previously posted Steve Hackett show are available on Youtube, and was made3 available by Greg Chance on his Youtube channel.
