I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

The date and the name of the place but it's all good.

I was, and at the same GA area, too. That was probably my favorite DT concert.

Oh cool, maybe we'll see each other!

We'll try getting there as early as we can to have an unobstructed view of the band.

Last time, there was a large brute that partially blocked my view. Hopefully that guy isn't there again... :tdwn

I think I saw you two last show in Anaheim.  Hope it is not so overcrowded in GA this show-- it was miserably oversold last leg.  Either way, I will be at first table behind GA section -- which having done it before is perfect vantage point - eye level with the stage and pretty damn close.    Taking my GF to her first DT show.  So yeah-- dinner for two!!

I'm going with my buddy Mike! He's never seen them before but DT is one of his favorite bands. This will the the third time I've seen them on this tour. I was at the LA show last September, and the Anaheim show last December. I'm super stoked.
Check out my various music projects - I’ve got concept albums, singer/songwriter, rock, metal, prog, and more coming soon:

Anyone know of a good spot to possibly catch a glimpse of the band as they leave the venue?

I was the Gibson show yesterday. Pretty good.

However, and I feel somewhat bad saying this, I just hope they were to change the setlist SOMEWHAT. 2 different songs would do, IMO.

The Gibson and the Grove are like 40 minutes apart and it would kind of dampen things for me if they play the same setlist, which they probably will.

However, that doesn't take away from their performance yesterday and since I'll be in the front in the GA section, perhaps that'll change my mindset some.

You were at the GA section? I was!

My girlfriend caught one of Pat Mastelotto's drumsticks  :lol

Crimson ProjeKCt was pretty badass and funky as hell. DT, despite the same setlist, was spot on and put on a great show. It may have been my favorite DT show as well.

At the end, I got to "shake" hands with JP, JMX, and JLB  :hefdaddy

I actually thought "Lost Not Forgotten" was one of the major highlights of the show, myself.  :metal

I got seats the day before the show in tier four. not the best seats, but totally worth the money and the drive!! Great show, especially Jordan Rudess's improv before Surrounded. And the Spirit Carries On, total cold chills!

Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D

Hey I was at this show and I just remembered something and I thought I should ask here.

After 6:00, when James said hi to the audience, he said something, then said "I don't know why I'm telling you guys this" or something to that effect, and everyone laughed. I didn't hear what he said though because of all the noise from people talking and laughing and stuff. Does anyone here remember?????

I was also at the show in Dec '11, and yes that was funny when he said whatever that was about a eating big steak. I can't remember though, did he actually say "Dinner Theater"??
