I listened to this show Yesterday and although it's been said, I just want to reiterate how much James f##king owned this show. Phenomenal. It was like he was toying with us during The Mirror/Lie.

This show was the last DT American headlining show with Portnoy, was it not?
If that is the case that is pretty cool cause I was in the inferno balcony to see it! :metal

Yes it was and what a great show. I can't believe that MP would be gone so soon afterward. The band seemed so "happy". Much more so than the show at the Pavillion in 2009.

Lots of energy at that show and they were on that night.

We should form a club..."Survivors of MP's last (real) show with DT".  There are some kids here who think them opening for Maiden in DC is the last show.

I didn't realize that was the last full show!  I'm in of course. :hat

I was there, but not in the balcony. Didn't realize this was MPDT's last US show. Cool trivia.

I was talking to a friend about this show recently and how insanely hot it was in that venue that night. The balcony had to be 90 degrees for real.
Anyway, I had no idea the time I was sweating through a historical Dream Theater show. This was I believe the last headlining show Mike Portnoy ever played with the band. This is correct is it not?

The moral of the story... Never play a gig without AC or you run the risk of losing the drummer.

I believe they played in Japan, and also finished the Maiden tour.

You could call it his last Headline show as I think the Japaneese shows were festivals. Certainly his last headlining show in the US.

That was a fantastic show! They done three special shows that tour I remember in between the Maiden opening nights. I remember going up to Worcester for it and then 2 days later seeing them open for Maiden at Madison Square Garden. Although on paper the set for the MSG show was unremarkable but solid (As I am, Rite of Passage, Home, Constant Motion, Panic Attack, Pull Me Under).

Knowing it was, to my knowledge, their first show at Madison Square Garden it was extra special. I don't have a copy of that show but I recall Portnoy saying something about that. I got chills even though i was a mile away in the stands I could feel how happy and thrilled they were to be at this historic venue in (most of) their home towns.

But yeah that Worcester show, I've been to other shows there and it's always pretty hot but it was mid July and DAMN steamy in that place. Especially up on the balcony. I had a near front seat view. Incredible show, my favourite show ever. I have a copy of the show, not sure if there are multiple versions. The setlist was a dream for me, lots of top 5 songs for me.

So fond memories friends!
