Their two seminal albums, tours and DVDs redefined prog\u2019s artistic and commercial possibilities with a combination of modern and traditional prog, classic pop sensibilities, and mind-blowing musicianship.<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"><em>The Whirlwind<\/em> tour was the group\u2019s largest, covering both sides of the Atlantic across 11 countries. With the addition of <span id=\"lw_1288113928_7\" class=\"yshortcuts\">Pain of Salvation<\/span>\u2019s Daniel Gildenlow on guitar and keyboards, it was also their most musically powerful. On May 21, 2010, at Shepherd&#8217;s Bush Empire in London, the cameras were rolling.<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\">The concert featured the entire <em>Whirlwind<\/em> album performed exactly as on the <span id=\"lw_1288113928_8\" class=\"yshortcuts\" style=\"background: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; cursor: hand; border-bottom: medium none;\">studio recording<\/span>. But that\u2019s just the beginning. For the next two and half hours, Transatlantic performed nearly every song they\u2019ve ever recorded, along with some surprises. The audio recorded at the show was later mixed by the band\u2019s own Roine Stolt, ensuring a genuine presentation of the music from that night.<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\">The show doesn\u2019t end, though, with the fading echoes of the final note. Backstage, in and around cities throughout Europe, the cameras accompanied Mike, Neal, Roine and Pete on their journey. Uncensored experiences and candid moments reveal the good, the bad, and the unexpected of life on the road.<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\">Also included is the band\u2019s encore from the final night of their tour, a headlining spot at the UK\u2019s High Voltage Festival. For the <span id=\"lw_1288113928_9\" class=\"yshortcuts\">last song<\/span>, they performed the Genesis classic, \u201cReturn of the Giant Hogweed,\u201d joined onstage by original <span id=\"lw_1288113928_10\" class=\"yshortcuts\" style=\"background: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; cursor: hand; border-bottom: medium none;\">Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett<\/span>.<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\">Travel from the last decade of prog to today, and from the backstage to the soundstage. Capturing a thousand timeless moments, <em>Whirlwind Tour 2010: Live at Shepherd\u2019s Bush London<\/em> captures musicians and audience uniting to create an electrifying musical experience.
