The Allan Holdsworth Band, featuring master drummer Chad Wackerman—well known for his work with Frank Zappa and Sting. Holdsworth himself stands as one of the premier guitar virtuosos in the world of progressive fusion.
This release captures their live performance on April 8, 2008. While sourced from an audience recording, it has been remastered to achieve excellent sound quality.
Of particular note is Track 3, a 20-minute epic that unfolds like a waking dream—never quite breaking, but gradually building in intensity. A performance well worth experiencing.
