Supergroup Flying Colors Releases 'Third Stage: Live in London' in September, Reissues Two Albums

Supergroup Flying Colors releases albums rarely, and performs live even more rarely, so the announce of a live album is a big deal.

The group combines guitarist Steve Morse (Deep Purple, Dixie Dregs, ex-Kansas), drummer Mike Portnoy (Winery Dogs, ex-Dream Theater, Transatlantic), keyboardist/vocalist Neal Morse (Transatlantic, ex Spock's Beard, and a prolific solo artist), bassist Dave LaRue (Dixie Dregs, ex-Joe Satriani), and vocalist and songwriter Casey McPherson (Alpha Rev, The Sea Within).

Third Stage: Live in London was filmed during their 2019 US and European tour and the footage captures the sold-out final night, on the December 14th at the iconic Shepherd’s Bush Empire, London.

The album will be released on several formats including: Orange transparent 3LP, Blu-ray, digitally, 2CD/DVD and a 40-page Earbook which includes 5 discs; 2CD album, 2DVDs and a Blu-ray. The Blu-ray and DVDs in the Earbook also include bonus material of music videos and concert footage of their Morsefest 2019 performance in Cross Plains, Tennessee.

As Portnoy says during the performance:

“Welcome to the rarest of all sightings, rarer than a UFO sighting, rarer than a sasquatch sighting. A Flying Colors sighting, here on stage in London. This is a very sad night for us because it is the last night of the tour and we don’t get to play together enough, so we’re going to savour every moment tonight and enjoy each and every moment here on stage."

The complete track listing includes: “Blue Ocean,” “A Place In Your World,” “The Loss Inside,” “More,” “Kayla,” “Geronimo,” “You Are Not Alone,” “Forever In A Daze,” “Love Letter,” “Peaceful Harbor,” “Crawl,” “Infinite Fire,” “Cosmic Symphony,” “The Storm,” and “Mask Machine.”

On September 18th 2020, Flying Colors will also re-issue the Flying Colors and Second Nature albums on Light Blue 2LP, both limited to 1000 units.
