Neal Morse - Alive Again

Riding on the tremendous success of their breakthrough album, The Grand Experiment, The Neal Morse Band set out on a tremendously successful world tour in the spring of 2015. Neal Morse and Mike Portnoy have teamed up with Randy George, Eric Gillette, and Bill Hubauer to create one of the greatest progressive rock bands of all time. Full stop. The Alive Again package shows them at the top of their form performing for a rousing audience in Holland March 6, 2015.

I miss Portnoy in DT but seeing this, I have no doubt he did the right choice. What a fabulous band! It's vintage and modern at the same time, with beautiful melodies, impressive progessive parts, some funny jam, great voices harmony, they play with passion and joy... I love everything in this video!

[@KLTrainz]

He ventured out plenty while in DT, but each one had to come to an end when the time came to go back to work with DT. Now that he is free to commit full time to all these other groups, every one of them, especially Neal Morse Band, is masterpiece after masterpiece.

[@peterbluewin2460]

Hi Guitar look to this fantastic gig: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGPXcpdmp7yjoKs and part2 kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2rMiZWDltBpq5Y

[@YTDSoM]

I think Portnoy was always, even before he left DT, a man of the music, not of a band or a few specific music acts. The dude has or is part of projects ranging from classic and pop rock to progressive and fusion acts, he's just a genius that can't stay doing the same sound forever.

[@LongLiveThe70s]

Absolutely agree Much as I love DT, I also regret to say that their music interests me less and less, especially after The Astonishing, which I found pretty boring, to be honest. As for their latest live recording in London, I've only listened to it once, literally, and I have no intention of going back to it for a loooong time: sorry but it tells me nothing. I don't know exactly how things have changed in that band composition-wise, because there is no question about their musicianship, but now their music sounds to me kind of mechanical and cold. By comparison, if I listen to John Petrucci's latest release, or the same with Liquid Tension Experiment 3, everything sounds as refreshing and engaging as ever. And the common factor in all these cases is Mr Mike Portnoy, of course. Though I had already listened to some Transatlantic stuff, just great, naturally, I had not paid attention to the Neal Morse Band, which means that I have been missing some really wonderful stuff and that I will have to put a remedy to that real quick. Definitely in my top list of prog rock, prog metal or whatever we want to call it.

[@ronking1584]

The greatest live performance ive ever heard and seen. About Mike Portnoy or Neil Morse i will not speak, but what Eric Gillette is playing on guitar and vocals and keys and drums is awesome 🎸👍😁🤣

[@ThanosNikolopoulos]

This is one crazy band! Every single member is a multi-instrumentalist! That middle jamming part where they all exchange instruments is phenomenal! They could easily play any instrument in any band! And I didn't even comment what a great epic song is Alive Again...

[@wurm90125]

Eric Gillette has two solo albums out here he plays all the instruments. Awesome stuff. He should get a lot of notice in the guitar community very soon.

[@aldemarogonzalez]

He played all the instruments in the first one "Afterthought", in the second one "The Great Unknown" he focused just on guitars

[@yesguitarman]

I saw them play this live on the sail away on Cruise To The Edge. They blew everyone away.

[@joepalcsak1250]

bill Hubaeur and Eric Gillette round this band out so perfectly. This is the best prog rock yet. Praise the Lord!

[@MRWATSiT2YA37]

Joe Palcsak they're both amazing singers. Bill's solo towards the end is just perfect. Not to mention how great they are at their respective instruments!

[@Pwrcritter]

Joe Palcsak Gillette, the best a man can get!

[@milton1448]

Both are great additions

[@Jacktibby2011]

morse deserves the respect and success he creates with out a doubt the best progressive rock ive ever heard

[@moreblack]

Welcome to my playlist Neal Morse Band.

[@moreblack]

I understood that reference

[@slumbarian]

U2, Coldplay, Muse ain't got nothin on this band. This band should be playing in stadiums and arenas world wide!

[@SpocksBabeSonyaSB]

Amen!!!

[@morenoharjoyudanto8889]

Pop will always be popular, while gems like this remains hidden and is better that way. Lucky for you and me to find and loving music like this

[@jomo167]

100% agree. anyone who likes rock music would fucking wet their pants listening to this. such a shame prog is so niche. these muisicans are absoutely the best in the world.

[@jonatcanolas801]

im so happy i found this band.. i've been a fan of DT.

[@ikkejick]

This blows DT away IMHO :)

[@juaneer]

Are you kidding me? It sounds greatly influenced by DT.

[@laurieduguay7536]

Rick Jansen

[@jps9508]

juaneer ?? Portnoy was in DT for 25 years !!

[@charliesarmmole704]

Check out Vandan Plas, the Flower Kings, Spock's Beard, Transatlantic, and of course King Crimson, Yes, and Genesis if you haven't already and also Pain of Salvation, Ayreon, Symphony X and pretty much any band Mike Portnoy was/is iN

[@MetalheadNation]

That section after the crazy instrumental break, where Bill sings and Neal plays acoustic, brings me to tears every single time.

[@user-ue3bp9nq5x]

This is as good as music gets.

[@theycallmefilip]

Neal has this talent of finding the right people for his projects.

[@RoshinrajRavi]

Amazing! I love how most of the audience is living in the moment and enjoying this band in all its glory and NOT holding their phones high in the air. That's how concerts should be!

[@ArisAlamanos]

This is amazing on so many levels...melody,song writing, musicianship,groove,instrumentation,arrangement,vocal harmonies,individual instrument virtuosity, feel etc etc It's totally awesome!!!

[@bobmallette7712]

The ending to this sends shivers up my spine like no other song or band ever has. What an incredible build (like you said, on so many levels), crescendo and musicianship. Wow!

[@drevdh7645]

even with your eyes closed and just listening you can hear Mike's drum style. Just happy to see him in this fabulous band. And that said from a big DT fan...

[@hapax87]

Yes, I agree . I saw him with John Petrucci and Dream Theater in 2009. Everything that Mike puts his hand to bears his imprint !

[@Navorek]

but you can always fly away ;)

[@eennymo]

The chemistry between these musicians is incredible! The perfect blend of talent, personality, and abilities make this the PERFECT band, my favorite band. I'm addicted!

[@MetalheadNation]

Whole song is absolutely a masterpiece, but when Bill’s vocals kick in after the instrumental section, I’m always on the verge of tears. Absolutely beautiful beyond comparison

[@olgagladysvazquezcoco1351]

Wow!!!!!!!!!! Wonderful, thank you for share. Loveeeeeeeeeeeeeee 😍

[@chillymilly6063]

Best band on earth

[@transatlanticwhirlwind7589]

Chilly Milly They are up there for sure.

[@user-ue3bp9nq5x]

Even better than the Partridge Family.

[@YTDSoM]

Between 3:35 and 5:12 - One of the most progressive grooves I've ever listened to, thanks to Mr. Portnoy, of course.

[@valerioravanelli]

That's not music. That's MUSIC! They're not musicians. They're ARTISTS! 12/04/2019 Trezzo sull'Adda (MI) Italy. I'll be there!!!!!!!

[@Mrsomewhatevil]

excellent musicianships.thumbs up!

[@arcoclinicaodontologica146]

Uma das coisas mais maravilhosas que já ouvi ....

[@Kanh2]

Muito bom ver brasileiros curtindo Neal Morse

[@ziggyrainbow9519]

Christianity and Prog! Two of my favorite things finally together! I'll add something to the discussion: Listen to the background harmonies at 28:00. Flawless. Kind of reminds me of "Afterglow."

[@rusty_rusticles3078]

Ive been lucky enough to meet these guys a few times and watch them, it doesn't get any better than this

[@rbcraulbc]

I've listened the studio version and I enjoyed it but this live performance was epic, astonishing. Thanks Neal Morse Band for your creativity and for being so gifted to play so beautiful and complex masterpiece.

[@walterdavidscottnongkynrih543]

Love these songs I have been listening time and again

[@DavidBishay-pq5ne]

This band is ridiculously amazing!

[@user-gb6zd6fi5y]

You are my friend's favorite band! Decided to listen.The more I listen,the more a fall in love your music and your performance...and I also like that you are happy like children.You jump,laugh,rejoice at what you are doing well!

[@markkentgen3731]

I used to be a dream theater fan until I saw the Neal Morse Band at the House of Bluse in Chicago. I traveled fro San Jose to see it! it was magical. I sat second row and forgot to turn on my android camera. I really wish I had a dvd of that show. I bought the 2 cd/dvd combo and was floored. Freaking awesome is all I can say.

[@Kanh2]

mark kentgen I need to feel it too. Please pay my ticket to the USA so that I can witness NMB and various other American bands.

[@tonyakerfeldt7023]

My favorite neal morse track

[@RJ-pu6nc]

THANK GOD SOMEONE IS DOING THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@chrisjackson1266]

When you reach the end of an epic concert and you want to send the audience off right, the last 3 minutes is a great way to do that.

[@tixximmi1]

This takes me back a few years. It's been a nice journey since I started to listen to Morse a couple of decades back.

[@Jin.Yoon.]

OMG this is so great

[@j2lobaugh]

6:05 what a voice.

[@GergC0521]

Eric Gillette's voice is wonderful!
