To everyone in the Imwan community, Happy Holidays. May you all " Live Long And Prosper".
Does anyone have any idea what happened to this title. It seems to have vanished.

Apparently it was delayed. Cduniverse now shows a Feb 24th, 2009 release date. Corea's website still lists the live DVD as "coming soon".

There have been some battles about this within the band supposedly. Don't know if it's ever coming out! I think Chick's Scientology nonsense has destroyed things again, but I'm not sure. Apparantley Al is out of the band again as well and has interesting comments on his website. I'm just so lucky I saw them last year as I knew this was a reunion that would sadly be short-lived.

That would be a damn shame, not having an official release, and I hope they sort it out. However, there are loads of live shows from the tour out there in the vast blog world so take your pick.

That's really a shame. I had hoped that the reunion would lead to new music, and that the band would continue to function. (It sounds like they may carry on, but without Al Dimeola). It makes me glad that I went ahead and attended both peformances when the band was in town last year. I haven't read the comments that were attributed to Al, but I've read enough on the RTF & ADM forums to get the gist of the matter. Hopefully, they can resolve their issues, and release the cd / DVD as a thank-you to the fans.

Yes, this is listed at Tower.com as coming out Mar. 17 and is listed at 13.99 right now and has the bonus tracks. Finally (I hope)! This should be a treat to listen to, the shows were nothing short of incredible. I wonder if they carry on without Al-is Bill Connors available? He was awesome.

I got a promo copy at 'Rama yesterday (track list as above), so it does exist. Hope I can work in a listen sometime this weekend.

I got tired of waiting for a Domestic release so I ordered it from Amazon UK. I should get it anyday.

Ended up getting this from Tower.com for 9.99 as I waited too long and it ended up paying off. I'll give it a listen this weekend. Now, all we need is the DVD!
