Title: 3/28/2019 - Ordway Center - Saint Paul, MN

Minnesota checking in!

So pumped to see them. This will be my 5th DT concert, first time they’ve played the Ordway I believe?

Been too long, since they skipped MN on the I&W Anniversary tour, cannot wait!

Amazing!

The whole band was in top form. LaBrie sounded great and JP was on fire all night. Probably the best show I’ve seen from them since the Octavarium tour in 2006.

SFaM was so much fun, live, in its entirety. Glad I got to be a part of the occasion.

Sound was a little loud during the first couple of songs (JR and MM’s snare especially) but the levels were adjusted and after that it was PERFECT. Probably the clearest I’ve ever heard LaBrie.

Was picture taking allowed?

I took a few photos and even a 30 second video, and had zero issues. Just be smart about it. Be quick, don’t have your phone out the whole show, probably don’t record entire songs. A couple pics here and there, and you should be fine.

I think the official policy is “no” but enforcement is highly dependent on the venue. I heard the Ordway staff say no when someone asked, but they seemed chill and it didn’t appear to be enforced. (Compared to the Astonishing, which was at a different venue, where it was DEFINITELY enforced)

I was a few rows from the stage and the guy in front of me practically stuck his cell phone cam right in JP’s face and he actually smiled and gave a nod for the camera, so he didn’t seem to mind that much lol

It was truly a fantastic show!  Only little issue was JP’s tech issue at the start of Paralyzed (his guitar completely cut out and he had to run backstage).  JR and MM entertained us with a little call-and-response jam in the meantime.

I agree that the sound was good and the whole band was on fire. The stage setup is awesome!

Hearing SFAM in its entirety was a real treat.
