Here is something "new" from Transatlantic.
You can tell they are very familiar with this piece. There are many bits that remind you of the studio record - but I think there are different little bits that remind me of some of the little sounds or accents which evolved over the years on stage. Each player impresses me here. Portnoy really impresses me here - if I could play as he can, I would be tempted to add a lot of drum wizardry, but he really stays true to the song.
It's almost enough to make me endure a Norwegian cruise - but not quite. To see JA sing with Transatlantic would be amazing. One can dream that they come ashore and do a couple of additional gigs.
