Album Notes & Community Reviews

Culled from multiple dates on their 'Permanent Waves' and 'Moving Pictures' tours, this live set showcases the Canadian trio executing impossibly complex time-signatures with studio-perfect precision. It acts as a flawless summary of their transition from sprawling, sci-fi epics into more tightly arranged, synthesizer-driven progressive rock.

Genres

Descriptors: progressive, complex, melodic, live, virtuosic
