Formed in Germany in 1969, Nektar favored extended compositions and concept albums over the constraints of pop. They were among the progenitors of the progressive rock movement of the 1970s as well as the jam-band scene that arose in the late 1990s. Their sound traveled well to the States, where they enjoyed Top 40 success with \u201cA Tab in the Ocean\u201d (1972) and \u201cRemember the Future\u201d (1973). Nearly 20 albums and a half-century later, the band\u2019s artistic and personal charisma has earned them masses of devoted fans along with their latest album \u201cThe Other Side\u201d (2020) which was Number 1 on Amazon Progressive Music.

As they begin the next 50 years of their career, they kick it off with \u201cJourney to the Other Side \u2013 Live at The Dunellen Theatre June 10, 2023.\u201d Recorded during the band\u2019s 50th anniversary tour, this release captures the band in all their glory with a 2CD\/Blu-Ray set with a 5-camera shoot and multi-track recording. Clocking in at over 2 and 1\/2 hours and spanning the band\u2019s entire career with classics like \u201cRemember the Future Parts 1 & 2,\u201d \u201cA Tab in the Ocean,\u201d and many more.

This recording has become a virtual remembrance of Nektar drummer and primary member, Ron Howden, who died suddenly at the ripe old age of 78 on September 29th, 2023. As founding member Derek \u201cMo\u201d Moore states, \u201cI think you will enjoy being part of Nektar\u2019s 50th extended Anniversary Tour and glad we captured this performance. Rest in Peace Ron.\u201d

The band is currently hard at work on their forthcoming trilogy \u201cMission To Mars.\u201d The first installment is scheduled to hit in early June to coincide with the band\u2019s tour which kicks off in New Jersey on June 7th.
