Planet X
Live From Oz
The Story
The metal fusion espoused by Planet X might overwhelm more mainstream listeners, yet the trio has already managed to tour the world in its first two years of existence. The Australian tour lasted two weeks, and Dixie Dregs/Steve Morse bassist, Dave LaRue, handled bass chores. The final show in Melbourne, before several hundred fans, was recorded for the "Live From Oz" album. "When we play together live, we just love it," declares keyboardist Derek Sherinian. "It's the ultimate form of freedom of expression. These guys are very serious players. They're extraordinarily gifted, and they strike fear in my heart everytime we are on stage!" "Live From Oz" features outstanding axe work from Tony MacAlpine, who also is featured in a 4 minute solo display of six-string strength.
