[Weymolith]

Tonight at 6pm EST, Jordan will be performing a 30 minute live set on StageIt! Tickets still available!

As a bonus, Jordan will create a personally dedicated YouTube improvisation as the reward for the the top tipper!

Likely going to attend, hopefully with a friend!

So it says "pay what you can," but when you click to buy a ticket, it says the minimum is $5... Now I'm not saying I'm that cheap for a Jordan Freaking Ruddess show, but I think it's not selling out because last time he didnt play any dream theater except for 20 seconds of Dance of Eternity (the best part of the whole show) and an encore of Through her Eyes (honestly why choose a song like this with no contrast to all the improvisations?)

edit: when you buy "notes" on stage it, you have to buy 50 ($5) at a time, but the concert only costs 1 note (10 cents). So I'd just be giving $5 to stageit, not JR.

[TheAtliator]

alright, I splurged my $5 and got a ticket. Now let's hope I don't starve!

[MoraWintersoul]

DTF represented!

[wasteland]

So, one of the best nights of my life. We were graced with extensive DT music (Hollow Years, THE, TSCO), LTE (State Of Grace and Hourglass), Moonchild, various improvisations, a song from the new solo album and a blistering couple of medleys with all that can be imagined thrown into it.

And I got to see all of this with Milena, which made it all 10x better. A definite highlight, hopefully a recording will be made available.

And I got to see all of this with Milena

Well it's not likely that the Transadriatic Progressive Bros Squad will attend an actual DT show together in the flesh any time soon so it's the next best thing and it's a best thing

[TheAtliator]

I'm so proud I got him to mention Luna Park AND Backing vocals at the end while he was singing!!!!

[wasteland]

Step by step we will get to conquer that unknown land too 

So, did I mention that the show was uber-amazing?

We even had a lenghty glimpse of Mrs. Danielle Rudess holding the gigantigargantuan cat Zsa Zsa!

[DebraKadabra]

Aw... I had to work...

I've seen pics of Zsa though - BEAUTIFUL cat. >^..^<

[Meatrose]

The fact I couldn't watch it makes me really sad.

He played Across the Sky!?!?!?! I love that song! Cheesy as hell, but I love cheese. I even dreamt about eating cheese last night. Not even kidding. I just remembered that. I was comparing cheeses.

There was a guy named Blob who was banned from the chat for spamming. Was it you?

I've found the video, is it possible to post it here?

Was there really? That wasn't me.

I'll See You On The Road Song

Great performance, thanks for compiling the setlist.  The unknown song you list was called "This Is a Mystery" off his solo album Listen.

I wonder if the guy who won the contest is a DTFer.  I placed 4th in the tip jar. Dang it, i tried!

[me7]

Someone failed to notice King Crimson's The Court of the crimson King while compiling that list? On a prog forum!!!

[wasteland]

Guilty 

Where exactly did he play it?

[me7]

He played the chorus between Moonchild and the Mozart excerpt.
