Yeah,I had a great few days.

After the Manchester gig myself and Daniel from Brazil headed off to get a bite to eat,then came back to the venue and met Neal ,Mike ,Roine ,Pete and Daniel.

Had a nice conversation with Neal about the previous night's dvd shoot where he told me about the lights going down,and that when he mentioned it to the lighting guy after the show,the lighting guy was like "What the lights went down ?"

Neal jokingly said to me "I think were in trouble" haha

Had a fantastic evening, rounded off after the show by meeting Neal, Pete and Mike backstage

Pretty much lost my voice next day due to far too much singing - much to the amusement of the children

All of a sudden I'm not sure: is it ok if I post some videos I shot my cell phone on here?

Live video you shot from a concert? Yes you can post that...please share.

It's probably best to ask Wey if you aren't sure about something specific, but fan-shot bootleg footage is usually fine. But you can't post things like YouTube videos of individual songs ripped from official live DVDs, or "videos" that only contain the studio version of a song (unless of course they're from the band's/record label's official YouTube page).

I agree with Mr John here- the Manchester gig was easily the best show I've been to in about 2 years. The levels were absolutely spot on throughout and everything came through the mix properly- didn't miss anything from the recordings. So many prog bands could tear a leaf out of their sound tech I swear, he had that shit down! SOOO FUCKING GOOD!!! PT in Oct and Frost in Dec are gonna have trouble topping that I think. :D still ecstatic two days later :D

Even though I got stranded at Manchester Piccadilly till 8:11 the next morning, I had an amazing night and would like to thank Mike, Neal, Roine, Pete and Daniel(and all the road crew ) for a stupidly awesome night of prog genius.

I can't wait for the DVD now!

EDIT: I also got the last orange t-shirt! And it was in XL. Extra win!

So I'm back in the Toon after the trip to Manchester to see TA.

Where to begin.... quite simplyone of the best gigs I've ever been too. Unbelievable. The crowd were into it from the beginning, singing along and all that good stuff. It was hot as hell in there too so I'm very impressed that MP donned a jumpsuit for the end!! The Whirlwind really comes into its own live - certainly more groove-orientated and heavier! Roine got the opportunity to stretch out and give us some tasty solos which was good to hear. The little jokes were there as at most gigs (I'm Lovin it, Highway Star Jam) and the lenght of the set.... well no one can claim they didn't get there money's worth.

My fiancee and I thought it was interesting to see the ways that the band were on stage:

Portnoy - The Showman - stick twirling and crowd interaction. Not to mention his bass pedal solo and bizzare song about being a genius/God!!

Trewavas - The Bouncer - Pete was a revelation! Having only really seen him in the making of DVDs I expected him to be reserved on stage but he was pogoing and jumping like a man with springs in his feet! Clearly loving the music and being on stage. Legend.

Gildenlow - The Mosher - nice to see that you can mosh to Prog!! Considering he was a "touring member" he could have just simply played his parts and gone home but I've never seen anyone not actually in a band get so into the music before!! It was genius. Loved his opportunity to come downstage and bang his head in SIYS (I think!). His energy was awesome. Plus he's a pretty tasty drummer too!!

Stolt - The Professor - a man lost in his music. Head down and off he went. While not as animated on stage as the others, he played a blinder and was without doubt the ubnsung hero of the show. Nailing his parts and his vocals and providing a backbone for the band.

Morse - The Dad at the Wedding - reminded me of your Dad at a wedding who's had a bit too much to drink and is dancing like a manic, you know the border between cool and embarrassment. And I mean no disrespect to him either!!! I felt that he clearly lives for the music and feels it with all his heart and soul. He choked up during Rose Coloured Glasses as well as the ending of SIYS. It gives me shivers just to think about seeing that kind of passion.

So that's Manchester and the Whirld Tour done. My final thought.....

Please don't leave it another 6 years please gentlemen we need you too much to leave it that long again.

I was there yesterday too, me and my 2 other brazilian crazy friends!

We arrived at the venue at 7am! :-o

But it payed off! We got to see all of the guys in the band arriving at the place, took photos with Neal, got him to sign our stuff too, met the funkygibbons (nice pal!), were interviewed for the DVD, stayed on the front row and had the most amazing time!! :D

Indeed it was cool to meet you and the other early door fans

And luckily we all got the spots we wanted right up front

The concert was epic, in every sense

Till next time

Not sure if they were. The weren't over sized or anything, they had one on smooth wheels at the front.

Any professional photos from London?

So any news on this TV shoot? Or if the vinyls will be available online?

Also, does anyone who was at the London show know if they were shooting with HD cameras? Still hoping for a Blu-ray.

Flacid Snake

What time did they come on at in London last night? I'm going off my ticket that says doors are half 7, meaning they should come on at about 8?

Came on around 745 I think, the doors opened at 7.

Was a great show ! One of the best live acts I have seen

Hell yeah, it was awesome. It got better and better as things went on. I mean, I thought they were rocking in The Whirlwind, but then All Of The Above kicked in after the interval and the energy just went up. Sadly I had to miss the ending because of trains, left most of the way through Duel With The Devil, but I did see my favorite part from it.

Compared to the Live In Europe performance it was stellar. This one they were jumping around, having so much fun. That was the greatest thing about it - the fun. You'd think you'd get bored going to a retro prog gig where they played only about 5 songs. You'd be wrong. Even Dan at the back was going crazy - if not the most!

Re:TRANSATLANTIC - WHIRLD TOUR 2010!!! (cyberdrummer)

What an incredible gig. It has to be up there with one of the best live performances I've witnessed. The atmosphere inside the venue was electric. Neal Morse is such a talented musician, it's unbelievable.

Cannot wait until the dvd comes out.

Transatlantic just rocked London HARD. Three and a half hours of pure progressive gold.

This is the fourth time I've seen Mike and without a doubt was his best performance. There was an obvious lighting error as Neil was singing the first verse of 'All The Above'. For about two lines, we were in total darkness. Also, it seemed to throw Neil off as he sort of hummed a few words as the lights returned.

The Whirlwind lived up to the name and flew by with outstanding precision and emotion. Neil seemed to be crying during the climax of 'Dancing With Eternal Glory/Whirlwind (reprise)'.

I don't know whether it was the awesome air-conditioning unit at the Shepherd's Bush Empire, but 'Bridge Across Forever' had me almost shivering. Neil and Roine were certainly doing it right.

However, 'Stranger In Your Soul' was most definitely the highlight of the night, along with the insanity. Mike once again entertaining us all by high-fiving the sound tech. Amazing... Eagerly awaiting the DVD.

Btw, Mike. Nice Ass
