Great find! Thanks for sharing the video. While I don't buy for a second that this was "live", it was cool to see. W.O.A. are extremely talented, and I LOVED their 1st album. The last one was generic and vanilla to me, so I'm hoping they kick it up a notch for the next one, and stop sounding like Frontiers other generic bands.

Not live? What part(s) did you think were recorded? I didn't notice anything upon initial watch

Hey Brandon, sorry I just now saw this... I went back and checked out the songs since it's been a while since I posted this, and I stand corrected. They are playing live. The are however using canned backing vocals in the 2nd song, and I think that's what had me thinking that initially. Also, I think they did some post editing, because I don't see how they could have recorded everything so clearly live in a studio.

Either way, they're a hell of a band, and one of my favorites. A musician I know said they were "God aweful, and a fucking disgrace to Melodic Rock". Think he was a little jealous? Lol!! And he does frequent this site. :D

Gotcha - yeah, I just felt the performance was very honest performance wise - which is rare - not saying the performance was as good as I would've hoped (I think the singer needs to work out some some of the performance kinks...also was there a (down) tune change??)...regardless, these guys in my opinion... have some truly terrific songs among the modern AOR releases, and so far have saved their best songs for their releases.
