NEAL MORSE "09 WASTED LIFE" Testimony Live

Neal Morse embarked upon the most ambitious musical project of his career. Entitled Testimony (2003), it chronicles his spiritual and musical journey in words and music. The 2 CD set (3 CDs for the Special Edition) spans over two hours as one continuous piece of music. It ranges in style from a full gospel choir to hard rock; from a symphony orchestra to contemporary pop. A deftly woven musical tapestry, the album takes the listener on a fascinating journey as unique as the man behind it.
Artistically, Testimony was a remarkable solo achievement, with Neal not only writing, arranging and producing; but singing the lead vocals and performing most of the instruments. Recognized as a virtuoso multi-instrumentalist, he is endorsed as a guitarist, keyboardist and singer (Yamaha, Gibson, Rode Microphones, and others). Legendary drummer Mike Portnoy performed on drums, with guest guitarist Kerry Livgren ( Kansas) on several tracks.
The mainstream and CCM press alike lauded Testimony as was one of the best progressive rock albums of the year. It received numerous honors, from Progressive World (Top 5 Albums) to The National Review (10 Best of the Year).
The ensuing world tour was captured on one unforgettable night at the beautiful Dutch concert hall, (named only as a number) 013, during his European tour. The performance (and tour) won him "Best Rock Tour" from the Dutch Progressive Rock Poll, besting nominees Peter Gabriel, Radiohead, RUSH and others. (Neal also won Best Album for the Testimony studio release.)
Released as a 2-DVD set, Testimony Live (2004) showcases Neal Morse as a remarkably passionate and engaging live performer. On lead vocals, guitar and keyboards, Neal demonstrates why, after the European leg of the tour, England's Classic Rock Magazine included him in their "100 Greatest Frontmen of Rock" listing.

@anonymousstranger71 Let's just say I'm much less skeptic...

My life, my sin Oh, I gave all to him My heart, my strife Can you change this wasted life? My life, my shame Oh, I gave it all to him My heart, my strife Can you change this wasted life? My love, my shame Oh, I gave him all my pain The truth inside ...JESUS SAID: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls" Matthew 11:28-30

Why don't you ever see this guy play at Creation Festival???

[misterkeyboard]

I really love this song, (the message most of all) and Neal Morse is brilliant and I thank God for his amazing talent!

But, I can honestly not understand why Portnoy is his choice regarding the drums. He never plays dynamic, always hits everything as hard as he can. Even during the soft parts he plays hard on the bass drum and the snare. I don't understand this. For me it's a must to be able to play the full dynamic spectra, this is the soul in music to me.

Whether you believe in god or not... this is still brilliant progressive rock!!

[frmadrigal]

@itsalolmor Its soo nice to hear this man. All the atheists i know would have never confronted that. Its like they follow another religion called atheism................ All i can say bro that God exists and lives...... The deepest part of our heart knows that. I hope you are no more an Athiest as you wrote this 2 years ago.!

@nojsc No.

@itsalolmor -- Over the last two years, has God revealed Himself to you? Have you learned that although you can deny Him, you cannot escape Him. The Bible says: "For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God (Romans 1:20, New Living Translation).

My live was wasted too Psalm 107 ff...
