Description:
"Lex Live" showcases Glass Hammer's legendary 8-member NEARfest 2003 lineup featuring Steve Babb, Fred Schendel, Walter Moore, Matt Mendians and Susie Bogdanowicz. Glass Hammer's highly acclaimed "Lex Rex" album is performed in near-entirety, along with music from Chronometree and Perelandra. Prog fans will discover a high-energy symphonic-rock concert, with an edgier incarnation of the band than their studio albums reveal. Progressive-metal drummer Matt Mendians sees to that, as does front-man and guitarist Walter Moore. The keyboard sounds are as big as ever though, and keyboard-wizard Fred Schendel delivers his greatest performance ever.
In a recent Background Magazine (Holland) article, Henri Strik calls Glass Hammer's "Lex Rex" a "masterpiece," and names Glass Hammer as "America's leading prog band." 1340.mag.com names Glass Hammer as its pick for number one indie-group of the year, and the "band to watch explode in 2004" Lex Live will put to rest any doubts that Glass Hammer has risen to the top-spot of the American prog scene. The one hour long bonus features section includes behind-the-scenes footage, rehearsals, other concert appearances and more.

Solid progressive music influenced by Yes and ELP with the emphasis on Emerson. All musicians are top notch. Of note is the wizard on keyboards, the true heart of the band. The female background singers add a nice touch and each song is a musical journey which is the way it should be. One star was deducted for displaying all the classic symptoms of Dream Theater and Flower King disease-- too much meandering and dabbling in the instrumental parts- some are too extended and could benefit from editing. ...

I can always tell when a band is very good and when a release is a timeless masterpiece. Thus is the case with Glass Hammer's Lex Live. I was trying to compare their music and I found bits of every band that I love in them. I found a very strong Yes influence (Wakeman and Squire) with a touch of early Genesis ,even a touch of Tull (Classical/folk). Yet their music beautifully integrates church music (Bach) and perfectly fuses madrigal singing with the help of the females who don't drown out the male ... Read More

I ordered this DVD with a little risk considering I'd never heard the band's music before, however, I really enjoyed my introduction to the band.
For fans of complex music, performed by serious musicians, this concert is highly recommended. The production of the film itself is unique and interesting. First, the main performance gives fans and those who've never heard the band the idea that this band puts more practice and thought into their efforts.
The show's direction is ... Read More

Curiosity got the best of me when Amazon recommended this DVD, and having read the reviews I decided to buy it. You know how you get a feeling about certain bands even though you haven't heard them? Well, intuition certainly worked this time! My only complaint is that Rythym N' Brews is too small a venue to hold this much talent. The place must have been literally ready to explode! The musicianship is outstanding and takes professionalism to a new level. Thank God for the internet, for I probably never ... Read More

I'm blown away!!! As a long time progressive music fan I can only say: AWESOME!!!. I think this will turn into one of the Classic DVDs in the genre. The lush and complexity of this music is just thight and perfect, mainly in the venue of Epics Yes style, and executed by Virtuoso musicians. The cute girls in the backing vocals do an excellent job and garnish the scene with simplicity and beauty. Needless to detail the excelscitud of the musicians: need to see it to believe it. They deliver accurately and ... Read More
