Morsefest 2024 – D’Virgilio Morse & Jennings/ Highlights from Jesus Christ: The Exorcist/ The Joseph Epics [Blu-ray]

Morsefest 2024: The Joseph Epics/Jesus Christ: The Exorcist/D'Virgilio, Morse & Jennings (Six-disc set / 2 Blu-ray + 4 CD)

After the brilliant 2023/24 Morsefests in the USA, Europe, and the UK, an even more ambitious plan was hatched for the next season of Morsefest!

D’Virgilio, Morse & Jennings had yet to play a full live show, and so the Morsefest stage was the perfect opportunity to launch their live career. Drawing on songs from the Troika and Sophomore albums, Nick, Neal and Ross showed how their vocal and musical blend was one that easily translated to the live stage. Starting with the stripped-down acoustic Troika opener, Everything I Am, building to full band performances of Mama, King For A Day and Julia, and ending, in London, with a version of June, featuring Big Big Train’s Alberto Bravin, it was a brilliant show!

Jesus Christ: The Exorcist had only been performed once, at Morsefest 2018, and so this season of Morsefest saw the return of some of the highlights of that album. Eric Gillette, Randy George, Bill Hubauer and Talon David reprised their parts from the original, joined by Johnny Bisaha, Ross Jennings and Nick D’Virgilio as well as backing singers, string players and percussion. The highlights included the drama of The Madman of the Gadarenes through to the finale of The Greatest Love of All.

Night 2 focused on The Joseph Epics, The Dreamer and The Restoration with the full cast and horn players joining the massive on stage line up. The show shifted from the dramatic Overture, to the rock-out, Like A Wall, to the choral I Will Wait on the Lord sung by all the vocalists. Part 2 brought the pop of Cosmic Mess, the vocal gymnastics of The Argument and ended in the epic climax of Everlasting and Dawning of a New Day. The evening started and ended with Spock’s Beard classics Day For Night and an all-star Wind At My Back that had the audience on its feet.

The 4 CD/ 2 Blu-ray set captures the full London show, filmed at Trinity Church in Brentwood in January 2025 in dazzling video and audio. Make sure you add this one to your collection!
