The Neal Morse Band - Dark Melody


When THE NEAL MORSE BAND released their acclaimed "The Similitude Of A Dream" album (a progressive rock retelling of John Bunyan’s The Pilgrim’s Progress) back in 2016, it began a journey of epic proportions, with the companion piece The Great Adventure arriving in 2019. The band embarked on a worldwide tour in early 2019 & it was in Brno, Czech Republic that the band chose to film "The Great Adventour" 2019 - LIVE IN BRNO, the definitive record of the tour, as George explains: “This was our first time playing there and this venue had a different look and vibe: the audience also turned out to be very energetic. They loved it!”
As Randy George explains: “After the Similitude tour, expectations were really high, and we had more people coming to these shows than ever before. People were really excited to see it, so we had to make sure that we delivered.”

Performing "The Great Adventure" flawlessly and in its entirety 47 times in 2019, Neal Morse (vocals, keyboards and guitars), Mike Portnoy (drums, vocals and audience cheerleading), Randy George (bass), Bill Hubauer (keyboards and vocals) and Eric Gillette (guitars and vocals) brought audiences to their feet night after exhilarating night: “The tour delivered every night. We never got tired of playing it, and it always paid off”, says George.


"The Great Adventour 2019 - LIVE IN BRNO" shows THE NEAL MORSE BAND at the very height of their powers: extraordinary, passionate, intense and intricate rock music played to perfection by five masters of their craft, backed by dramatic video illustrations by Christian Rios. Available as a 2BluRay+2CD sets, the first disc contains the show and the encore, while the second features exclusive bonus material, including two documentaries that track the US and European legs of the tour, as well as four official videos from the album release. No Vinyl is planned yet, set to release on 06.03.2020
