The challenge of bringing these songs to life requires some of prog's best musicians�a lot of them. In Europe, Neal came to know his band by chance email from an unknown Dutch drummer: Collin Leijenaar. Collin was trying to persuade Neal that his group of friends�all tremendous Morse fans�could not only play Neal's material, but own it. Three and half hours worth. With one week's rehearsal.

Morse was�skeptical, to say the least. The unknown performers were up against Mike Portnoy, Kerry Livgren, Roine Stolt, Steve Hacket, Jordan Rudess, Phil Keaggy, Randy George, Pete Trewavas, Kevin Gilbert, and the cast of Spock's Beard. Neal had been down many roads he never expected, though, and something told him to take this one. The entire tour was booked before Neal even met his band.

The rest is history, of course, perhaps best illustrated by Neal's comment on the Sola Scriptura &More Live DVD; before the band launched into a complete performance of the Sola Scriptura album, Neal says, "I hope you guys like this�it's the second time we've performed it together." And indeed, Collin and company owned every minute of it.

That was 2007. By the end of 2008, the now-seasoned band could tear through Morse's material with confidence and creative improvisation. With changing material on different nights, the cumulative set is 3.5 hours long, encompassing Neal's best songs and compositions from his 20 year career. This theme extends the recording engineering, mixing and production�resulting in studio-grade sound that whispers and thunders off the discs. At the center is Neal Morse, one of Classic Rock Magazine's "100 Greatest Frontmen of Rock".

With soaring vocals, virtuoso instrumentals, and a unique�sense of humor, Morse demonstrates why after 20 years, he remains one of prog's brightest stars.
