UNIVERSAL

This may well be my favourite prog DVD of all time, recorded just after the release of Weather Systems. This has quite an intimate feel utilising the Plovdiv Philharmonic sucessfully and is perfectly recorded. The band includes all the Cavanagh brothers as well as brother and sister John and Lee Douglas on drums and vocals plus Daniel Cardoso on keys. Wiesław Novak is concert master and plays first violin. The tracks are all you could want for and they go back as far as the classic Judgement but nothing from the early prog metal years as far as I can see. Highlights for me are The Storm Before The Calm, A Natural Disaster (wonderful Lee Douglas vocal!) and the classic Fragile Dreams.
