At the dawn of 2020, 2019 was full of live, so here is the list of myprogmusic chronicles of live in styles very different from each other, ranging from folk to metal through to progressive rock. To this first list, for a fortnight, will be added other live released in 2019 but which had not yet been the subject of chronicle.

It is still a group of the 70s, in this case the English of 'Praying Mantis' who continue their mery way with new studio albums (see their last 2 recordings here and here) and who just released a concert at the end of 2019 with 'Keep It Alive' which was recorded during the 'Frontiers Rock Festival V' in Milan, the April 28, 2018. Already 40 years since the group was formed and their first album 'Time Tells No Lies' recorded in 1981 is far away but they have not lost this energy of sharing a hard-rock catchy with their audience and 'Keep It Alive' is still there to prove it to us. In summary, the English of ‘Praying Mantis’, 40 years after their creation, are part of the groups that continue to be doing well and ‘Keep It Alive’ is intended for an audience loving the melodic hard-rock of the 80s...
