'Electrical Storm' during an electrical storm

Ok, two things:

It just dawned on me that my album 'Tesla' is turning ten this fall. I can't believe it's been so long. And with the current political climate, Tesla is probably not the best title for an album, but luckily the album is not named after the car, but after the inventor Nikola Tesla, who all the songs on the album are about.

I've played material from 'Tesla' at most of the shows since its release. Synesthesia and Oscillations have been almost regular features, but we've also played Voltage Control and Transatlantic.

For the concerts we have played this year, we have introduced a jazzy version of the song 'Electrical Storm' which is about the thunderstorm that reportedly raged the night Nikola Tesla was born. During the concert in the Dome a week ago, a thunderstorm passed by Allinge while we were playing, and since large parts of the Dome are made of plexiglass, all the lightning could be seen by the audience. And quite symbolically, the start of Electrical Storm was supplemented by a completely natural light show. It was captured by our cameras, and you can see it here:
