Rating: 5.0
Serious Music delivered by Incredible Musicians !
Stumbled across this band on Internet Radio a few years back, and now cannot get enough.I am no good at reviews, but after having watched this show for the 5th or 6th time, I have to add yet another 5-star rating. These fellows take the old 'Light & Shade' bit to a whole new level... usually within the framework of each, and almost every song. Between the soaring melodies, dark passages, and downright blistering rock - this set is an absolute must-have for any fan. Obviously they are immersed in their music, and truly enjoy what they're putting out - what a performance... and what a ride it's been getting to know them better. Soon we'll own everything they have released (because we MUST), but hard to believe this disc won't be the most worn-out in the collection. At least until the next one. Only one song repeated from the 'almost as good' "Arriving..." DVD - a smoking run through of "Halo", and it's become one of our favorite PT cuts. It seems as if every tune this band plays could be a masterpiece in it's own right. What intensity - thoroughly moving. Go and see them live at any cost... but watch this until you can !
