TESTIMONY TWO - LIVE IN LOS ANGELES

This Mega Combo Pack is proggin' quite literally... The great ambassador for prog for Christ (so happy to have him representing) shines once again. Flawless performance by all the musicians (Portnoy shines big on this one, but that seems like a certain thing ha ha). Portnoy seems so much into it, more than ever to be honest. Randy George has such a dirty and sick bass tone here too!!! Yeah the dvd is great with great showmanship and muscianship. Morse's vocals sound quite good here too, (still off that Whirlwind high). He even plays the wonderful Seeds of Gold and that solo. Sweet!!!! The Cd is perfect as well. The only complain so far is the boring stage and lighting, but oh well, Morse and the whole gang make up for it ha ha. But after many listens and viewing, justice will be served. Heck a lifetime of watching and listening actually. The setlist is killer as well. The tour documentary is sweet as well, glad he showed a lot of footage of the gig I was at, at MTSU. An absolute must for Morse enthusiasts as myself, but for any prog fan. Neal is the greatest modern day prog frontman (Steven Wilson is up there too).

A masterpiece. Five out of Five. Thanks so much Mr. Neal Morse:)

Highlights: Well by far the whole Testimony 2 album played. Incredible incredible!!! I also thoroughly enjoyed the opener Lifeline. The Separated Man was a great choice and has given me a huge new appreciation for it. Seeds of Gold, wow wow wow wow!!! The Sola edit was nicely performed as well. Everything was stellar.

P.S. Morse is such a joy to watch. I don't say this lightly, but not only is he one of the greatest musicians, he is one of the best showmans as well. He pours his heart and guts into his music reflecting through his physical display. Whether it's a fun instrumental passage he jams to or a powerful lyric he proclaims with his whole being, Morse blows my mind. This dvd combo pack reflects this so well, this is his testimony of coming to the true savior, Christ!!!:) It is such a joy to watch Morse play!!!! THANKS AGAIN!!!!!

Quote from the dvd doc. - " It was interesting watching Neal sing about God, with a drummer that looked like Jesus, that played like he sold his soul to the devil. Thank you very much. " -Mike Portnoy
