NEAL MORSE ANNOUNCES MASSIVE 2 DVD/3 CD SET

TESTIMONY 2: LIVE IN LOS ANGELES • WORLDWIDE RELEASE NOV 8, 2011

AN INCREDIBLE 8-PIECE BAND FEATURING MIKE PORTNOY

9/22/2011 - Nashville, TN—Neal Morse is renowned for amazing live performances with some of progressive rock’s most accomplished musicians. With Live in Los Angeles, Neal throws down the gauntlet: 2 DVDs and 3 CDs of his incredible Testimony 2 tour, live at the Whittier Theater in Los Angeles, California.

For the first time since the original Testimony, Neal’s music is performed by the original musicians who created it: Mike Portnoy, Randy George, Eric Brenton, Rick Altizer and Mark Leniger. And with two new members (Nathan Girard and Nathan Brenton), it’s Neal’s biggest band, ever. They bring to life every nuance and detail of Morse’s extraordinary compositions, with the virtuosity and energy from some of prog’s most seasoned performers.

The 3+ hour concert begins with Neal’s seven biggest epics, including the new 30-minute juggernaut, “Seeds of Gold.” Then, Morse and company deliver the best of the Sola Scriptura album. In the final act, Neal unleashes the entire new Testimony 2 album—note for note, start to finish.

After the final notes fade from the stage, go behind the scenes with the band in a full-length feature tour documentary. And check out Neal’s triumphant reunion with Spock’s Beard at the High Voltage festival in London!

In this year’s Testimony 2, Morse added a bold new chapter to his musical cannon. On Live in Los Angeles, Neal brings his most extraordinary band, yet, to fulfill his music’s full potential. This is the one Neal Morse live experience that prog fans can’t afford to miss!
