On a related note to Neal Morse's "Testimony" show (now that you guys have
piqued my curiosity regarding the album), a new DVD has hit stores featuring
Morse & Mike Portnoy's side project Transatlantic.  It's titled "Live In
Europe," and features a bonus live peformance of the ol' Pink Floyd "Shine
On You Crazy Diamond."  One of Transatlantic's songs is very much like
listening to side 2 of ABBEY ROAD - seemingly unrelated songs strung
together.  ("Suite Charlotte Pike" from the 2nd studio album BRIDGE ACROSS
FOREVER.)

I definitely like Spock's Beard, but then I'm an old prog fan at heart.
However I must add that I saw an online simulcast of Spock's live recently,
and Nick D'Virgilio (also a part-time Rubinoo aside from his role as drummer
& now lead vocalist with SB) was mighty impressive in his new frontman role
with the band, particularly when they did the majority of the second half of
SNOW as one long suite.  Talented guy.

Sitting down to the new Transatlantic & Queen DVDs,
