Teatro Cervantes, Malaga, 19th Jan 2009. maybe send to mgmnt with somewhat corrected spelling etc...below - thx I hope they keep lots of the Sibera stuff active, not just stormy weather, best record in over 20 years....those songs are still fresh & should be in the sets....that record should not be treated like flowers, WYGDWYL ( which i still love, but can see how its time came & went ...in maybe a few seconds) or evergreen....would be a real shame if the mighty siberia was set on the shelf while still in bloom.
