![]() Not that anyone could ever imagine Mike Portnoy as just a backing musician… They are well-tuned and gig-fit as an outfit now and earned that cricual ‘band’ status rather than just be musical backers to Morse. The band of Morse, regular right hand man Mike Portnoy, regular left hand man Randy George and the now established pair of Eric Gillette and Bill Hubauer has to be applauded for delivering on such a huge piece of music. ![]() ![]() And now we have the live version spread across two more CDs and a couple of discs of footage of the show too.Ī new great adventure now begins with a twelve-minute overture, (recalling like the Land Of Beginning Again on his Testimony album, that incidentally is reprised on The Great Medley encore), raising the curtain for a lengthy performance. As with its predecessor, it continues the story with the Pilgrim’s son, Joseph, taking up another 2CDs of Morse inspired prog rock. The Great Adventure was the companion piece to 2016’s The Similitude Of A Dream. How on earth do you follow up a 2CD rock retelling of Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress, the subsequent tour where the whole album was played live, and the release of two live recordings of the event? Another epic outing for Neal Morse and his dedicated band of foot soldiers with a record of the tour of another double album’s worth of fizzing prog rock.
