Bill is like THE best finding in the last 10 years of Prog. SUCH a HUMBLE guy too. Amazing. Im paying my VIP tickets to see them and I will give him a HUG for doing this.
I thought I knew all amazing versions of this tune. Starting with Richard Harris original, or this epic version from Beggars Opera..even Donna Summers "disco" version was amazing. But this version tops everything. Unbelieavibly great
WOW !!!! I didn't think I even liked this song but this version brought smiles and tears with Bill blasting it out on the vocals and the arrangement ... just WQW !!!
bruce anthony - Absolutely!! I've been trying to find a rocky version of this song for years. It's not perfect (the original still gives me the shivers), but it's better than anything else out there! P.S. I'm going to record my own cover of MacArthur Park and it will be both heavy and close to the original (maybe shortened) so watch this bloody space!!
There was already a (prog) rock version of this song by Beggar's Opera ( from their Pathfinder album,1972). Definitely the best version ever. Check: th-cam.com/video/8vabm1pARhw/w-d-xo.html
I like this song - true masterpiece but this awesome prog arrangement for me the best! Live performance is very expressive and as good as album version!
The timings of music between 8.13 to 8.27 remind of the future john miles classic record ''Music''. Don't know if anyone can spot any resemblance, or is it just me ?
Someone left a cake out with Lorraine, I don't know if I can take it, Can't believe that she just ate it, and we'll never have that chemistry again, Oh No !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DAMM, that's a hell of a version of Mac Arthur Park. First time I've ear-it, and I love it!
This is LIVE folks. Incredible.

And to think Neal didn't like this song....glad Mike P. pushed hard for it to be included. Just perfection.

Wow! A spock's beardified sixties classic. Bravo gentlemen.
MacArthur Park NEVER fails to bring a tear to my eye regardless of which version, it is just that good!!!!!!
I've always loved this song. Great version. Thanks Neal!
Man, Bill is a prolific arranger. Of course Neal is a master himself. So much talent in NMB.
WOW !!!! I didn't think I even liked this song but this version brought smiles and tears with Bill blasting it out on the vocals and the arrangement ... just WQW !!!
Definitely one of the best bands on earth!!!❤️
8:55 and beyond is just absolute chills. Repeat, repeat, repeat.
Reminds me so much of Kansas.
Right!!!! Sounds like they wall from them !!!!!
This is beyond fantastic. This is beyond anything. What great musicians.
How can ANYONE do THIS?!?! I didn’t like this song originally, but NOW......... WHOOOOOOOOOO!!!
2.00 I loved Bill's "Who wrote these lyrics" actions!
Literally moved to tears by this 50 year old song, done by a bunch of 50 year olds, (Except Eric, of course) Well, now these guys are sixties.
I never thought that anyone would dare to create a new version for this classic of music. You dared ... and this is incredible.
Incredible is an understatement, this rendition is emotionally mind-blowingly out of this world.!😍🥰🤩😛😛👌🏻😎👍🏻I never get tired of playing it.!
I was floored when I heard the studio version on The Grand Experiment, and equally floored at this live performance. Chills...
This song gives me the chills
Neals music hits my spirit - this music is my favorite!
Fantastic version
Written by Jimmy Webb and Adrian Drover.
Published by Universal Music. Arranged by Bill Hubauer.
Finally a rock version of the prog masterpiece...

nikitaratata dont care for that version.
I just love that Neal still plays an Alesis Quadrasynth. It was never a popular synth, but I always loved it. Keep it up.
I bought one very cheap after seeing what he did with it live with Transatlantic.
He doesn't use it to generate sounds though, Apple Macbook & Mainstage does all that
@@donmcbass yeah he probably jsut really likes the feel of it because he could literally use anything else

That smile at 9:00 says all, that needs to be said, about Bill.
Sooooo Cool! I love it! The T-Shirt from Mike is toooo Much!....
Just amazing!
Funtastic orchestration!!!
Brilliant version, much heavier, rockier and romantic than the original version. Volume 40 through my computer speakers while I'm writing this.
Best cover ever.
FKN notes! I love them!
Tis one of my favorite covers by the NMB
Brilliant!!!
Excellent... An ELP + Rick Wakeman footprint
These guys are balls out good!
I wonder if Jimmy Webb has heard this version? Would love to get his view on this. Incredible in my humble opinion.
Great !!!
Montro mudical neal morse!

3:56 Is awesome!
Excelente banda. À la Yes
5 stars

Bill nails this ...
Sounding great again, but I would love to see 1 Neal Morse blu-ray/dvd someday without all the vocal overdubs.
Great show, but sitting through Fill Keegy was brutal.
