Anesthetize - Required viewing for concert directors/producers
The band performance,content,sound production values are as you would expect from Steven Wilson and company...Off the charts! This Blu Ray production really struck me in the way it was presented.Some of the work from Lasse Hoile, I will admit, I have not always appreciated, but I sure understand now, why Steven continues the affiliation. I have hundreds of dvd and blu ray concerts in my collection, yet I felt I was witnessing something new.High art, but viewer friendly ,without being distracting to the stars of the show. Intelligent non MTV editing and great direction ,immersing the viewer into the onstage performance. A stunning achievement with a notable performance from the unofficial fifth member of the band John Wesley. Stellar guitar work and vocals, especially in the lead department, covering all of the highs and adding new dimension to the songs...Sublime.
