5.0 out of 5 stars As usual another great live show by Transatlantic courtesy of my own living room.

I’ve accepted the fact that this band doesn’t play in New England. I simply wait for the tour to end and the show to come out on Blue ray or DVD. This box set is unique as the DVD’s, CD’s and bonuses are not all from the same show. Whether that’s good or bad, I cannot say. I like everything I’ve watched and or listened too, including the bonus interviews. The quality is fine both video and audio, I almost always watch music in 5:1 and I have no complaints with that version. One of the bonuses is a cover of Hocus Pocus with a guest appearance by the front man from the original band. I thought that particular performance was outstanding by the entire band, really blew me away. I had also been anticipating how much of the whirlwind they would do on this tour, I expected a medley version and that’s what they did. I was happy with what they chose to perform from that CD. If you’re a fan I cannot think of any reason to why you won’t like this tour regardless of what version you purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Live Recording that Rocks!
Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2014

Another Live recording? Well maybe I am biased as I love all of the talent in this band and am a fan of their other bands, except for Dream Theater. Mike Portnoy shines in this band way more than he ever did in Dream Theater. All of the members give an exciting performance and add some cover versions in this live set that are very well done. The sound is excellent and the playing is stellar. Yes one studio and than a live one, but a lot of bands do this and when you consider that these guys don't put out new material every year or two like other bands, I will take it! Some old songs and of course plenty of the new release. Shine on!

Transatlantic are truly an incredible band of superstars. As with all Transatlantic performances, it is almost impossible to believe the playing and vocals are actually live. Most bands could not achieve this type of quality in the studio. There are too many high points to pick just one. Nights In White Satin was probably not necessary, but as always, it was done wonderfully. I would strongly recommend buying this set.

Tremendous band gives an excellent performance of their latest album. Two minor issues though, bass drops in and out on the Blu-ray (dvd is fine, cd great), and The Whirlwind medley lacks the power and impact of the complete composition. Best prog band of all time!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great representation of what Transatlantic does live
Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2015

Great representation of what Transatlantic does live...well, mostly live. Give it 3.5 stars with a roundup to 4.

First off, the positives.
* Finally a bluray recording of a great band playing really good music
* Great recording and editing: lots of angles, cams, and interesting shots, keeping the energy but not jumping around TOO much either
* The music of Transatlantic (including "My New World", probably my favorite Transatlantic song)

Some negatives
* As already pointed out, the mix is off at times. In the past I've found Mike Portnoy's drums (especially with Dream Theater) were overly compressed and loud. Not the case here. They're often not loud enough. Is it a show-stopper? No, but it is unfortunate given the rest of the quality of the video
* Heavy selection of Kaleidoscope tunes on this. Admit this is only a slight negative for ME because I wasn't so crazy about the 2 big songs off of Kaleidoscope. Can't say I dislike them, but I definitely favor other songs in the catalog more
* I suspect it should be called "Kalmostliveoscope" because I'm pretty sure at least parts of the vocals were re-recorded in a studio after-the-fact. Two points flagged me on this possibility: 1) the Transatlantic live vocal harmonies have never sounded this good (check out their first "Live in Europe" DVD in comparison) and 2) whenever someone is singing in a "live" video and you see them pull away from the microphone but still hear their voice. Microphones transmit sound based on how close a sound source is, and as soon as that sound source (like a voice) moves away from the mike, the volume should drop correspondingly to the person's voice pulling away from the mike. There are a couple parts in the video where one of the guys singing pulls away from the mike, but the voice is still easily heard.

Which leads me to general philosophical question. Would you rather have a live recording that is truly live (warts and all) or an almost live recording that has had substantial fixing in post-production, but is much more listenable (and therefore SELL-able)? I guess for me, it depends on how fixing is done post production. I've read in several publications (Electronic Musician, Sound on Sound) that a lot of live rock recordings are rarely truly live (without some substantial post-production tweaking)...and so it goes.

Still, very cool to see all the guys play their respective instruments in hi def, and for me, other than the mix and song selection detractors, it was still worth the purchase.

The band looks and sounds great! I am surprised I am the first to write a review for the deluxe edition. Black as the sky is my favorite. Amazing musicians! Anxious to hear new music from them in the years ahead.

Great lineup but the bass is a little heavy, may be what they were shooting for on this tour or just the positioning of mics. Still excellent.

A lot of material to go through. What you get is a full concert on CD and a different concert on Blu-ray and DVD. Extras are duplicated on both Blu-ray and DVD. As usual top notch musicianship.
The only thing I'm not thrilled with is the flimsy case as well as the cardboard around the digipacks.

Para quien ya conozca el grupo solo decir que, como siempre, no defraudan en ningún momento y que dan todo lo que se espera de ellos, que no es poco. Quien no los conozca, pues debería conocerlos, y da igual que sea por este disco o por cualquier otro, si el estudio es impresionante el directo lo es aun más. Por su precio, los DVD's más los CD's en una estupenda presentación es un auténtico regalo.

5.0 out of 5 stars Happy Xmas prog !
Reviewed in France on December 22, 2014

Allez comprendre quelque chose à la logique commerciale des éditions spéciales des maisons de disques, « coffret limité », édition « collector », « deluxe »' Le dynamique label germano-américain Inside Out avait pour habitude de nous gratifier de volumineux coffrets, tout spécialement en ce qui concerne les performances live des monstres sacrés du « prog' rock », tel que Neal Morse, ou Transatlantic.

Pour leur nouvelle tournée promouvant l'album Kaleidoscope, encensé par la critique, mais pas par moi, Transatlantic et Inside Out s'allient de nouveau afin de proposer aux fans acharnés des produits remplis à ras bord pour les fêtes de fin d'année 2014.

Vous avez donc le choix entre un coffret 3 CD/1 DVD, un coffret 3 CD/2 DVD/BR : doté d'un DVD bonus et du Blu-Ray, ce dernier étant lui-même disponible individuellement. Vous suivez ?

I&O avait coutume de proposer un coffret 3 CD/2 DVD. Pourquoi priver cette année les acheteurs du DVD Bonus, uniquement disponible dans le coffret limité, tellement gavé qu'il en a les dents du fond qui baignent, comprenant un documentaire de la tournée - toujours trop long, mais fortement intéressant, notamment en ce qui concerne la Progressive Nation at Sea - de même que des interviews, et surtout trois titres bonus, dont deux avec la présence du légendaire Thijs Van Leer d'Hocus Pocus qui valent leur pesant de rock progressif ! Ces performances enregistrées à Tilburg, aux Pays-Bas, comme l'intégralité du concert audio, étant également disponibles sur le 3e CD de cet énorme coffret édition limitée, et non sur le 3e CD du coffret « normal » Allez comprendre. Les acquéreurs du BR n'auront pas de question à se poser puisque tous ces titres figurent dessus.

Précisons également une autre bizarrerie, le concert vidéo a été enregistré à Cologne en Allemagne et non pas à Tilburg comme le concert audio.

Pour ce qui est des aspects techniques, son, image, rien à signaler, c'est très bien filmé, c'est net, c'est pro, les pistes audio sont excellentes, proposant même une très belle version DTS.

La totalité de l'album Kaleidoscope est interprétée ce qui est une bonne chose, sans oublier les précédents grâce à des medleys. Mais plus que les qualités de compostions de ces titres, il semble, selon moi, que c'est davantage l'énergie et l'incroyable talent des membres du groupe qui parviennent à rendre le tout intéressant. Mention spéciale cependant au titre Kaleidoscope, le seul du lot qui me paraît avoir été réellement inspiré.

D'un point de vue de l'ambiance, le combo parvient, quatre ans après la grand-messe que fut le coffret live double DVD Whirwind, qui était, a priori, considéré comme un chant du signe, à refaire vivre la magie de ce super groupe. Alors oui, c'est pompeux, c'est long, mais qu'est-ce que c'est bon ! Et ce même si l'atmosphère n'est peut-être pas aussi fascinante que celle capturée lors de la précédente tournée.

Concernant la finition, l'on peut noter le soin apporté à ce packaging construit dans un très beau carton satiné, même si en soit, les nombreuses photos des livrets ont toujours tendance à sentir le remplissage facile, et les teintes verdâtres, certes propres à cet opus, ne sont, pour ma part, pas du meilleur effet.

Quoiqu'il en soit, si vous êtes fan de prog, si vous êtes fan de Transatlantic, Dream Theater, Neal Morse et autres groupes prog 70's, ce produit est fait pour vous et mérite amplement de figurer au pied du sapin. Privilégier le coffret limité 3 CD/2 DVD/BR doté de croustillants bonus, pour un prix dérisoire, suppléments malheureusement et stupidement absents de la version 3 CD/ 1 DVD dont on se demande l'intérêt ?
