TRANSATLANTIC, die Prog Supergroup, bestehend aus Neal Morse, Mike Portnoy, Roine Stolt und Pete Trewavas  kündigen für den 17. Februar ihr Livewerk ”The Final Flight: Live At L’Olympia” an, auf dem sich insgesamt 25 Songs befinden.

Drummer Mike Portnoy erzählt:

“Ever since the start of this band we have played for three hours, so that’s something we’re all used to,”, who grins whilst describing his own experience as “butt-numbing”.

Roine Stolt ergänzt.

“It was a great tour,but when you include our spot at Morsefest [where besides performing ‘The Absolute Universe’ the band also revisited their 2009 album ‘The Whirlwind’ and revised a cover of Procol Harum’s ‘In Held (’Twas) In I’ that had featured on their debut from 2000, ‘SMPTe’] I felt the challenge of learning, or re-learning, three-and-a-half hours of music before leaving Sweden. Now that I am getting slightly older, I was a little worried about playing for that long – it requires a lot of concentration: ‘Is this one in 7/8 or 9/8? Maybe we’ll play it in 13/8 and in a different key?’ But of course, once we got out there onto the stage, those thoughts went straight out of the window.”
