A few months after having published the latest prog rock milestone “The Similitude of as Dream”, Neal Morse and his band comes up with a new release. This time it’s a live release featuring the Morsefest 2015.

Release date of this comprehensive package will be on March 24th via Radiant Records. The Neal Morse Band and an additional group of 38 musicians contributed to this concert that’s now being released as Blu-Ray Disc (2 discs) and DVD+CD (2 DVD’s + 4 CD’s).

This release includes both night with Neal Morse song, arranged and interpreted in a new way. In more than 5 hours “Morsefest 2015” comes with performances of longplayers such as “Sola Scriptura” and “Questions” as well as tracks from Spock’s Beard and Transatlantic.

Next to the music it’s the visual elements integrated in the show, completing a holistic approach and providing treats for ears and eyes. Next to the two shows itself the release comes with a 60 minutes documentary which gives a look behind the curtain of such a show and production.
