A live recording captured on 7th November 2022 at Amsterdam s 17,000 capacity Ziggo Dome, it places the listener/viewer right at the heart of the stage for the duration of the show as psychotropic visuals explode behind the band as they play a superlative set of songs that features – to use Steven Wilson s words – no hits , where each one is received like an anthem from an alternate universe.
Closure/Continuation Live includes live recordings of much of their 2022 reunion album (including the singles Harridan and Of The New Day) as well as classic tracks like Trains, Fear of a Blank Planet and Anesthetize.

Photographer Maldwin Hamlin depicted Rance, Steve and Thomas Allen in an apropos trance of introspection on “Truth Is Where It’s At.” On the front cover, the group looks low, staring into their own reflections within the muck of the water underneath a lonely bridge. On the album’s back cover, they stand atop a ledge, looking to the sky. With Rance at arguably the most lucid juncture in the family band’s early career, playing guitar, piano and displaying absolutely astonishing vocal elasticity, it’s of little to no consequence that the album is split down the middle between original material and cover songs. Rance Allen has never seen a song he couldn’t make his own.

In their third outing, Steve, Thomas and Rance Allen are joined by their brother Esau Allen on congas for a family affair. Less bombastic than their previous efforts, Rance leads the group in a manner that speaks to the brothers’ comfortability within their own range, their familiarity with one another and their reverence for the material.
