+1  The earlier 'Caught In The Act' DVD featuring the same line-up was equally superb, though you need to wind the volume up a bit on your player to get the best out of it - audio levels appear to be decidedly lower than is usual for a music DVD. |

I don't know if I'll bother with this one. While the setlist is indeed high quality I'm not overkeen on the new vocalist to be honest. I much preferred Rob Sowden. The Smoke and Mirrors DVD (with Sowden) is superb, I can't recommend it highly enough.

And here's a sample of what to expect:
 Edit: I previously posted a fair selection of Arena live Youtube clips from their previous DVDs here for the benefit of Aussie-Byrd-Brother and others who might not be familiar with this fine band, but the whole post was for some reason deleted by person(s) unknown (no p.m. warning me about this was received).  Hope this latest one doesn't fall victim of the progarchives censorship machine too...  Edited by yam yam - March 14 2013 at 16:43 |

As previosuly announced, the
British band Arena release their new DVD in late March. The DVD
titled “Rapture” was recorded in 2011, when Arena visited
Poland as part of the tour promoting their new release “The Seventh Degree of
Separation”. The album opened a new chapter in the history of the band led since
1995 by two acclaimed musicians: Clive Nolan (Pendragon, Caamora, Shadowland)
and Mick Pointer (ex-Marillion). The album was recorded with a new singer, Paul
Manzi (Oliver Wakeman Band), the bassist John Jowitt, who returned to the band’s
line-up after a several year break, and the guitarist John Mitchell.
Filmed in 2011 at Wyspiański Theatre in Katowice, Poland, the DVD features a wide cross-section of Arena’s music, with material ranging from the tracks from the band’s very first release (including The Visitor, Solomon, Crying For Help VII, Ascension) up to their latest songs (The Great Escape, The Seventh Degree Of Separation, Rapture, One Last Au Renoir, The Ghost Walks, What If?, Burning Down). And today you can see the preview
of the DVD on the Metal Mind Productions’ official channel on YouTube. Track
“The Visitor” is available in THIS location.
The DVD also features an interview
with Mick Pointer and Clive Nolan, additional “Live in Warsaw, 2011” footage,
photo gallery, discography information, and desktop images!

News from Metalmind, Poland: http://metalmind.com.pl/index.php?dzial=newsy&more=4056
"In November 2011, the British band Arena visited Poland as part of the tour promoting their new album “The Seventh Degree of Separation”. The album opened a new chapter in the history of the band led since 1995 by two acclaimed musicians: Clive Nolan (Pendragon, Caamora, Shadowland) and Mick Pointer (ex-Marillion). The new material was recorded with a new singer, Paul Manzi (Oliver Wakeman Band), the bassist John Jowitt, who returned to the band’s line-up after a several year break, and the guitarist John Mitchell. On November, 10th Arena played a show in Silesian Theatre in Katowice which for once more became the most important place for prog-rock fans. The show was enthusiastically received by Arena’s fans. The band performed their brand new songs (The Great Escape, The Seventh Degree Of Separation, Rapture, One Last Au Renoir, The Ghost Walks, What If?, Burning Down) as well as a selection of songs from their previous albums (including The Visitor, Solomon, Crying For Help VII, Ascension). The concert at the theatre was also special because Arena recorded their brand new live DVD there. And today the band reveal its title – “Rapture”.
“Rapture” DVD will be released by Metal Mind Productions on March, 25th in Europe and April, 9th in USA (via MVD). Full details to be announced soon." You can view the photos from the
Theatre HERE. The previous two Arena DVDs were both crackers, so I'm certainly looking forward to this...!  Edited by Easy Livin - January 16 2013 at 12:44 |
