Pain of Salvation: Hellfest

Himself

Transatlantic: More Never Is Enough

Himself

More Never Is Enough contains, as the title suggests, more live footage of the Whirld Tour 2010 for the insatiable fans. More precisely, this 5-disc release features two additional concerts of the band: On the 2 DVDs the 3-hour concert in Tilburg (Netherlands) and on the 3 CDs an audio recording of the Manchester show are captured for eternity. Both concerts have - except for one encore - the same setlist as the London DVDs and CDs that were released the year before

Hammer of the Gods: Two Nights in North America

Himself - Vocals

Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy's live tribute to Led Zeppelin. Recorded in Montreal and New York City.

Transatlantic - Live in Europe

Himself - Additional Keyboards, Additional Guitar, Additional Percussion, Backup Vocals

Released in 2003, it documents the November 12, 2001 show by the band at the 013 Club, Tilburg, Netherlands. The show was part of the tour to support the band's second studio album, Bridge Across Forever. In keeping with the tradition of covering a classic progressive rock epic on each release, Live In Europe features the band running through The Beatles' Abbey Road medley as part of the intentionally Beatle-esque "Suite Charlotte Pike." Rather than being a straight cover version, each section of "Suite Charlotte Pike" is juxtaposed with a section of the Abbey Road medley.
