Unitopia - One Night in Europe 2DVD+2CD

I would be making a huge mistake if I did not mention the incredibly elegant artwork that Ed Unitsky, "The Fourth Beatle of Unitopia" produced for this project. The Artificial cover art mixed with the Dutch townscape is a perfect welcome to the new owner of the disc. Each disc is also printed with similar artwork and the collage of pictures, on the inside cover, includes pictures from the tour, including all the important participants and moments. The band takes a bow on the back cover in thanks for this wonderful experience. I and the many Unitopia fans have been waiting a while to finally see this band play in concert. This DVD collection is a great representation of this band at one of its first peak moments. Unitopians, unite and get out and buy this glorious DVD collection to help make the dream of a world tour a reality!

Sean Timms is glorious on stage providing intricate keyboard flavors to all of the band's epic tracks. Tim Irrgang provides spirited bongos and percussion throughout the performance. Craig Kelly's steady hand on the bass keeps the rhythm flowing through each movement of all of these epic tracks. David Hopgood's drums are especially good on the epic, "the Garden" right after Truey sings "…and now it begins!" One of the highlights from the performance is Ian Ritchie's incredible sax playing. He also plays flute and whistle on some of the other tracks. The band had a regular sax player, but he was not able to travel with the band. Ian is now a full member of the band after his wonderful contributions and friendship during the tour. The "Artificial World Suite" and finally seeing "The Garden" performed live, were by far the highlights of this the first disc of this 2 DVD set. The second DVD is also full of side doors and peeks into the character of the band, including some acoustic songs and a short interview. Band hijinks from the hotel, and more excellent acoustic performances featuring additional songs are also on the menu of this second disc.
