Featuring Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater), Pete Trewavas (Marillion), Neal Morse (Spock's Beard) and Roine Stolt (Flower Kings). This rare double live CD is really astounding. Not only do you get the feeling of being at one of their sold out American shows, but alsoo the sound quality and musicianship are first rate. Recorded on their US mini-tour of the east coast, this set includes the best material from their first studio album, plus some very fun and surprising covers such as The Beatles' 'Strawberry Fields Forever' and Genesis' 'Firth Of Fifth'. Slimline double jewel case. 2001 release.

Infectious fun!, January 24, 2002
By Just Bill (Grand Rapids, MI United States)
Live in America isn't the greatest album I've ever heard in my life. But it could be one of the most fun.
Transatlantic is an incredible group. Or, as most would call it, a supergroup. Four of today's most gifted musicians comprise Transatlantic (Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy, The Flower Kings guitarist/singer Roine Stolt, Spock's Beard keyboard player/vocalist Neal Morse and Pete Trewavas, the severely underrated bass player for Marillion). And the level of musicianship is just about what you'd expect: stratospheric.
This live album features tracks from their first album (simply titled Transatlantic, or SMPT:E) plus some surprises and fun medleys along the way. "All of the Above" kicks things off in a big way. It's a great track, but it's the next track where things start to get interesting for me. "Mystery Train" seques into "Magical Mystery Tour" (with Portnoy sharing the vocals!) and "Strawberry Fields Forever." What fun these guys are having. The sheer joy they're feeling is infectious. I find myself smiling and enjoying every note they're playing. They're not taking themselves too seriously, and they certainly don't need the gig. So they're doing it because they love to play this music, and these songs. And play together, with great respect.
"We All Need Some Light" is also nicely done live, although the harmony vocals are a little rougher around the edges than on their studio album.
Disc Two begins with another fun surprise: "Watcher of the Skies/Firth of Fifth" from Genesis! The medley on this disc is just as fun as the one on Disc One. This one includes a Spock's Beard song ("Go the Way You Go") as well as more Beatles ("She's So Heavy").
If you like prog rock, this album is essential. If you like to hear four musicians with exceptional talent having fun playing together on stage, this album is essential.
Let's face it: Transatlantic Live in America is essential no matter how you slice it. Buy it!
