Ultimate Edition. It was a cool acoustic show that deserves to be heard I think, so we can use this as an introduction to the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m am currently deep in the writing of my new projects and am very excited to be doing so. Thanks for facilitating my ability to do that, and I hope you enjoy the  Devolution Series.?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The  Live in Leeds show has previously only been released in video format, and  Devolution Series #1 &#8211; Acoustically Inclined, Live in Leeds now marks the audio release of said show. It will be released on March 19th 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a warm-up to this release, check out the  Hyperdrive (Live in Leeds 2019)? video here: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/H45yG8FzpkQ?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Devolution Series #1 &#8211; Acoustically Inclined, Live in Leeds will be available as Ltd.
