This live concert at Wembley Stadium on July 4th showcased the band's remarkable ability to blend intricate musicianship with mainstream appeal. By this time, they had evolved from their progressive roots, embracing a more commercial sound that resonated widely; 'Invisible Touch' was a chart-topping hit and spawned several singles that are still loved today. One fascinating fact about this performance is its grandeur—it was part of a tour that sought to elevate the concert experience to new heights, combining elaborate visuals and powerful performances.
