SoundPress.net DVD Review: Transatlantic - Whirld Tour 2010

Transatlantic Takes The World By Storm!

Transatlantic [Neal Morse (lead vocals, guitar, keyboard), Roine Stolt (lead vocals, guitar), Mike Portnoy (drums, vocals), and Pete Trewavas (bass, vocals)] are a prog super group that has released three albums and related products in the past decade culminating with the epic Transatlantic-Whirld Tour 2010. This multi-media presentation is available as a 2-DVD set, a 3-CD-audio and a 5-Disc Deluxe Edition.

On the current package, Transatlantic's music was a mix of intricate songs that cycled through expansive exchanges instrumentally and vocally. The inclusion of Pain of Salvation's Daniel Gildenlow on guitar and keyboards for the 2010 tour enhanced the power of Transatlantic's potent progressions. Each track was a whirlwind of diverse and dynamic sounds and styles.

The Whirlwind tour and Whirld discs captured Transatlantic as they traveled across eleven countries with cameras rolling at London's Shepherd's Bush Empire on May 21, 2010. The concert in England featured the entire Whirlwind album - yet that was just the start as the band proceeded to play almost every song they ever recorded with a few surprises thrown in for good measure.

In addition to a massive amount of music fans are treated to candid moments filmed on the road and Transatlantic's cover of Genesis's "Return of the Giant Hogweed" with guest guitarist Steve Hackett (an original member of Genesis). As Transatlantic returns to their respective bands and projects many fans remain hopeful that this will not be their last trip about the globe. Regardless, Whirld captures Transatlantic at an all time high!
