Neal Morse has unveiled a five-hour live package entitled MorseFest 2014: Testimony And One Live.
It features full performances of both classic albums with a band featuring Mike Portnoy, Randy George, Bill Hubauer and Eric Gillette, plus a four-piece horn section, six-member backing vocal section, strings and orchestra percussion.
It was recorded in November last year and mixed on the scene by Rich Mouser, who worked on the original studio albums.
Morse says: “We really went all-out this time. I wanted it to be the quintessential presentation and performance of this music. And so it was – and is!”
Portnoy describes the show as “an amazing experience” and adds: “I’m so happy to see this come to fruition. It’s elevated the music to a whole new level.”
MorseFest 2014 is released on August 21 and will be available for pre-order on July 21.
