TESTIMONY LIVENeal MorseSymphonic Prog |
From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website




Morse took his "Testimony" album to the masses in 2003 and the complete performance is documented over the course of this two DVD set. He had a fine cast of musicians to back his project and he takes full advantage of all their various talents in a live setting, bringing his life story to light before his appreciative fans.
The audience seemingly becomes one with Neal and his band and not a stone is unturned during this fantastic performance. His brand of progressive Christian rock appeals to a broad base of listeners. It rocks progressively and very tastefully. There is a strong definitive message here; however, the music is what sets the precedence then everything falls in line right behind it. The music is so good it is hard not to like. Morse pours his heart and soul into this performance and you know that it is a genuine thing for him and his band.
Never was there a time where I felt complacent or bored watching this DVD. Morse is a vibrant entertainer and what makes it so enjoyable to view is his incredible energy and enthusiasm for his music and beliefs. He is a gifted vocalist, guitar and keyboard player and never is it more obvious than during this concert. Yes, this certainly is a "Testimony" and in many ways.

What we have here is a masterpiece of an album played in its entirety by an amazing group of musicians who play this music with true passion and emotion. The rhythmic section is rich and dinamic, with Mark Leniger adding a lot with his percussion and Portnoy with his.... you know who he is. I didn't knew of any of this performers before watching this DVD (with the exceptions of Neal and Mike) and I got to tell you, all these musicians are top notch, they exceeded my expectations. I was specially surprised with Eric Brenton's skills, wow what a complete and talented musician!
In addition you get 50+ min of music in disc 2, two songs (and what songs!) from Transatlantic (a half of Transatlantic is on stage) and one from his Spock's Beard days. Stranger In Your Soul alone is worth buying this DVD. Also included on disc 2 is a documentary wich lasts for more than an hour. Filmed with their own cameras, and linked by Neal's comentaries, is a nice entertainment, like a day by day diary, with a lot backstage footage, the band on the bus etc. as well as excerpts from other shows of the tour.
Some may complain about the lack of a 5.1 track, but in the other hand the sound quality is superb. The video resolution is very good also.
A must have.
