Among a million and one other projects, 2010 saw Mike Portnoy resurrect prog behemoth Transatlantic for a new album and tour…and now, a huge live DVD.

The band recorded their London show earlier this year for the imaginatively titled Whirld Tour 2010: Live At Shepherd's Bush London.

But, in the true spirit of prog, this isn't a normal live DVD, it's a massive double disc and triple CD set. Pick yourself up a copy and you'll get:

DVD 1 (147 minutes)



01. The Whirlwind


02. All of the Above


03. We All Need Some Light


04. Duel With the Devil



DVD 2 (190 minutes)

02. Stranger in Your Soul

You can't accuse Portnoy of skimping on the material, can you?
