Titled \"Erik Norlander and Friends - Live in St. Petersburg\", the disc contains 90 minutes of concert material from this spectacular event plus the 45-minute documentary \"The Road to Russia\".
The documentary tells the story of Erik\'s three-month tour across the USA and Europe leading up to the final concert in St. Petersburg. The documentary contains interviews with Erik and all of the contributing musicians - including drummer Ernst van Ee - along with additional concert performances from American and European shows.
\"Erik Norlander and Friends - Live in St. Petersburg\" also contains a bonus audio CD with the best tracks from the concert along with two studio tracks.
Van Ee has been previously featured on Norlander\'s \"Stars Rain Down\" album and also appears on the recent Lana Lane titles \"Lady Macbeth\" and \"10th Anniversary Concert\" (both 2005).
As with Norlander\'s previous dvd effort, the \"Lana Lane 10th Anniversary Concert\", the \"Live in St. Petersburg\" DVD is expertly mixed in Dolby Stereo and also in DTS 5.1 Surround to capture all the subtle nuances of the concert experience. The bonus audio CD is packed with 78 minutes of music, the best performances from the St. Petersburg concert plus the studio tracks of \"From Russia With Love\" and a new version of \"Fanfare for Absent Friends\" which first appeared on Norlander\'s 2004 electronic effort \"Seas of Orion\". Both tracks feature Ernst Van Ee on drums too and were recorded especially for this release.
