These have been available directly from the group for a few years, but now they're being put into general release in America at less than half the price, and with the DVD in NTSC format:

Description
The Flower Kings are a Classic Symphonic Rock band in the tradition of bands like Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, but they also merge the classic sound with modern elements from bands such as Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater etc. After 17 years together, 11 studio albums and several live CDs, DVDs and world tours, The Flower Kings have become a household name within the progressive community. In the summer of 2007, 40 years down the road from the original "Summer of Love", a band from Sweden, The Flower Kings, started planning to tour the universe to spread the word in a custom-built Volkswagen bus. It wasn't just any regular VW bus; it was designed by Russian AquaTouring engineer Ed Unitsky and the general idea was to be able to travel thru time, space, rain, storm, mountains and oceans to spread the message of LOVE! Now being 2007 we soon realized that we may need a bit of comfort because Prog musicians do get grumpy and in the good old prog tradition, the egos grow bigger than the size of Germany, so we all needed our own Prog-turf on the road, a place for each of us to hang our glittering capes. So we rented a rolling castle from Kaiser Red Car and instructed the Orch-crew to load our Mellotrons, Taurus and kettledrums. This product is a sample from the 2007 tour. On this night The Flower Kings played to a Dutch audience who seemed to be on a diet of tulip leaves and finely ground wooden shoes. One gentleman claimed to have smoked a blend of Vincent Van Gogh's sundried ear and the fungus from a 1897 windmill to get in the right mood.If you ask us, you need nothing but a pair of functioning ears a good spirit and some quality time to enjoy this.
