I was going to further comment on that 4th disc in that the title translates to "Contamination, on towards the new rock music" which is a good summary of how I saw what happened to the first incarnation of progressive rock.

In this regard what PFM did in the early 80s was really much in the same vein as what Genesis, and Yes/ELP if you count Asia did, in that they transformed themselves into a more mainstream rock band for the italian market. So Performance captures that era mostly. There is a modified version of Il Banchetto which is decent. I personally enjoy this album. In the end, the core of the band with DiCioccio, Divas, Mussida and Premoli is still there, so it's good stuff to me.
