This very classy limited-edition triple-disc box entitled {=And Now Everybody to the Stage... features an 18-song, 15-track DVD with bonus material to boot -- 240 minutes total running time along with two audio discs containing 146 minutes (of the same material). Filmed and recorded on May 22, 2006, at {the Wyspianski Theatre in Katowice, Poland, this music from the Believe 2006 tour finds the band rocking out with a harder edge. For a group that is a cult favorite, {=And Now Everybody to the Stage... is an enormous package usually reserved for more commercial acts, the set including a four-page booklet and eight-panel fold-out box. The slick textured presentation is a follow-up to the 2002 DVD {=Live...At Last and More, taking things a step further. Drummer Fudge Smith is replaced here by Joe Crabtree, but few if any non-fans will notice, as the music is as pristine and exotic as ever, culminating in a tremendous version of "Am I Really Losing You?" The song is so sublime here that it screams out FM radio hit, although that kind of creature is a rare bird in the new millennium. Frontman/songwriter Nick Barrett is clearly enjoying himself re-exploring titles like "Nostradamus," "As Good as Gold," "Breaking the Spell," and "Masters of Illusion," all found on the earlier DVD {=Live...At Last and More, only this time out the handsome and youthful Crabtree adds some new energy to the venerable but aging group. A bit heavier here in concert than on the retrospective The History: 1984-2000, this deluxe treasure contains a band history, an interview with Nick Barrett, and other extras including "The Progumentary," a home video recording. Joe Viglione.
