Prog it's Alive!
It's nice to play it safe at a concert, almost entirely know beforehand what will happen qe and yet leave happy and confident to have witnessed a memorable night.
is not difficult to foresee a great show together on stage when some musicians like Tansatlantic components: Mike Portnoy is by far the BATTERY. It is technically supreme, making their complicated rhythms and fills it seems simple, but it also is quite a spectacle. Roine Stolt is getting better guitarist, also contributing a sobriety sometimes necessary before the power of your peers. Trewavas is a bassist the highest level, solid rhythm and scales in super-creative, energetic and dynamic addition to the scene and Neal Morse is perhaps too histrionic for my taste, but recognize that it is a top level performer. And the vocal duties are shared among all, though Morse is the one that sings, the others also have their solo parts, and share choirs. If you also wear a musician Daniel Gildenow support, able to help with a second guitar, keyboard support, percussion and over her big voice, the recipe is perfect.
Despite all this, or fortunately, the Riviera was not filled. A Room shortage acceptable input but did the concert, in that sense, very nice.
When you talk to a layman and say that 6 items have lasted 3 hours, at least get a strange look. Here we are not talking about pop music consumption must be compared with works of another dimension, The Whirlwind Why can not qualify as a perfect symphony rock?.
And it is, and what we saw as opening the concert, of course the opening theme, with the complete performance of The Whirlwind took us into the whirlwind that is the title of the song, sonic peaks and valleys over melancholy an hour. Played with precision, but especially with commendable energy and delivery was a sonic journey that almost worth the ticket price. Enjoy watching these great musician as true dwarf on stage, comaprtiendo smiles of happiness between them and the public while we are delighted with such high-level work was a joy from start to finish. Because one of the things that can be said of Transatlantic is enjoyed on stage, and it shows. Particularly exciting for me was the detail that Pete Trewavas acoustic arpeggios reeled initial And You And I.
After a brief intermission to recharge your batteries and to empty the bladder (for me), again with the first change of shirt Portnoy with All of the Above, extremely well received by the public and enjoyed again to stop them. Another epic and totemic in the career of the band, half an hour of glory again.
After a bit of ralajo, Morse and Stolt acoustics are alone and exchanged licks up that start with We All Need Some Light to that after join the rest, and unlike the original disk, here with the lead vocals Roine. Creepy and tender version capable of extracting tears to the cave troll but that the audience did not seem as the constant buzz of conversation in the quiet parts still there, as always something incomprehensible to me.
The closing of this second part was a brutal Duel With the Devil. Portnoy's shirt appeared Kun, as expected because it makes such sports exhibitions ever, ripping a scream of approval from the audience. And Sigi the race with the devil, wild at times, subtle others, the five musicians singing together on several occasions. In the middle of the song and for a couple of endless minutosl stage lights went out completely. Unless pilots amplifiers and a flashlight he was carrying the Mike Roadie with which, curiously, they lit up the head, everything went dark. But they remained undaunted, playing perfectly into the gloom. Fortunately there was light in the near future, allowing a final crushing.
Gildenow At one point he moved to the sound and rhythm completely lost. There, the father of rhythm, Mike Portnoy, withthe guide began as a baton stick checking the bars until Daniel was able to enter again in time, while Portnoy told him to hand the extent of the dramatic final crescendo passage musical.El left us satisfied and happy, but knowing that there was still a good dose before stopping.
And the end was expected, an appetizer with a heartfelt Bridge Across Forever with absolute role for Neal Morse and his piano, and again the pain in the ass for ruining the moment talks and a final apotheosis more half an hour of Stranger in Your Soul. Dramatic moment when in full gale Morse sits at the drums, Mike Portnoy is released to the public will take on wings and just playing bass while Pete makes a single organ. Intense and memorable end to a great concert.

Despite being so long standing that my old back each time has been worse, was a glorious night. One of the details is especially grateful to Mike Portnoy is located so you can see him play without being, as usual, hidden behind the battery and appreciate all your work, apart from that, being so close to the public, their interaction is constnte, not just the front rows.
And the good thing is that, as The Answer, see Transatlantic again in July at the High Voltage. That trip deserves to several articles at the time.
