ZeppelinDT and I will be there tonight.  Taking the 5:30 train and should be there by like 6:30-6:45.  Can't wait!

And i love "Repentance," so I'll be happily holding in my piss during that song!  :D

It's my second fav tune on the album after "The Ministry of Lost Souls."

I hope someone records one of these shows! I would definitely like to dedicate a few hours to explore Flying Colors Live Edition!  :)

Repentance is probably a good pick, if they had to pick a DT song to play that Portnoy wanted to sing, since it is probably one of the easier (or least difficult) DT songs to sing.

Repentance is a good pick because it's a good song, period; Mike and the band should be really proud of that one.

MP! Any chance we'll get a Flying Colors LIVE DVD recorded sometime on this tour?

^This.  Some of us live in god-forsaken places like rural S. Carolina, and due to things like jobs, family, time, etc. can't travel hundreds of hours to see a show.  Most of us don't live near NYC or LA, but we'd love to see a show.

And yes, I'm aware of why there isn't a larger tour and I understand that progressive and metal acts would hemorhage money touring the southeast, but it would be nice to have access to something to make up for all the fun we miss out on.

Aweeeesome concert, enjoyed it massively. Such great music. Everybody seemed to have a blast on stage.

Repentance was shite, sorry. Mike sang awfully off pitch the whole song. Odyssey was too complex for the mix too I think.

Mike isn't a singer. He keeps trying to be, but its not good. Fool In My Heart is loaded with flat notes galore on the record..."this fool loves you still" ouch!

Wish I was there last night.
I will be in NYC for Neal Morse Momentum tour, Oct.11th! I have meet and greets for the show! :metal

I think one reason for the discrepancy in opinion is that in the main room they had pulled down his voice quite a bit. In the lounge area you could clearly hear the mix though, and it was pretty bad.
