About Album

We had to wait two decades for Arjen to find somebody, his girlfriend Lori who finally convinced him that the Ayreon project and its fans would really deserve a great live performance. It took them and lots of other great people 2 years to prepare a concert performing the best songs of the Ayreon universe featuring 16 singers all of whom had previously worked together with Arjen on the studio albums, and with 10 guest musicians.

What is it for an Ayreon fan and the whole prog-rock world if not a celebration? We can complain only because we could not hear all the songs of the Universe, and sometimes Arjen had to shorten them, but we can live with that… and least until the next live show! 🙂 Since it was a great success, we do not think that we should wait for too long.

The album was recorded during a series of concerts in September 2017, with two additional songs from Star One, and released as the first ever official Ayreon concert, although The Theater Equation was released (but not performed) as an official Ayreon product.

Lyrics
[A. The time telepathy experiment]

THIS IS THE VOICE OF MERLIN. LISTEN WELL,
FOR IT CONCERNS YOU. THIS CHRONICLE COMMENCES IN THE YEAR 2084 A.D.
MANKIND HAS VIRTUALLY DESTROYED ITSELF.
IT'S SURVIVAL DEPENDS ON 'THE FINAL EXPERIMENT'.
SCIENTISTS FROM THE 21ST CENTURY HAVE DEVELOPED
A NEW COMPUTERPROGRAM CALLED 'TIME TELEPATHY'.
BY USING THIS TECHNIQUE THEY HAVE SENT VISIONS OF HUMANITIES'
DECLINE BACK IN TIME. THESE TRANSMISSIONS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED BY THE MIND
OF A BLIND MINSTREL WHO LIVES IN 6TH CENTURY GREAT BRITAIN. HIS NAME ....
IS 'AYREON'.

[B. Overture]

[C. Ayreon's quest]

IT SHALL BE AYREON'S QUEST TO SING OF THESE VISIONS AND THUS WARN THE WORLD
OF ITS IMPENDING DOWNFALL IN ORDER TO CHANGE ITS FUTURE IN A LONG
AND PROSPEROUS ONE. LET US GO BACK TO 'THE DARK AGES'.
