Anna Lee (PSMS)Don't you mean Been Here Before?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiZLZpqFNFUAFAIK, they never did AL with PSMS. I remember DS even made comments about how he hated AL, so I can't imagine that would've made the setlist for PSMS.Nope, I meant Anna Lee. They did it with Ted Leonard on vocals https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxtjIWxUB_4 (same show as the infamous version of BMS with Devin Townsend )Ha! Nice call. I don't think I ever checked out that full show after seeing Devin's performance of BMS with them. Honestly, I'm surprised that MP convinced DS to play it given the amount of disdain DS has for that song.

9. Anna Lee (PSMS)
It sounds like, "ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk." Instead of the more pleasing kick drum sound of, "gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk."

Honestly, I'm surprised that MP convinced DS to play it given the amount of disdain DS has for that song.Has he ever given more insight on why he hates that song? He seemed to be fine about it back in the FII era, since he's also a big fan of Elton John and the song was clearly inspired by his music.
Lately I've been playing Octavarium (the song) a lot. And man is the drumming in that piece extraordinary. I always wanted to learn to play drums largely because of this song. So much groove.
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now?
He blew me away when I became a fan. Listening to the I&W shows a couple of weeks ago reminded me of how in awe I was of him.

As a basic rule, if you hate it, you must solely blame Portnoy. If it's good, then you must downplay MP's contribution to the band as not being important anyway, or claim he's just lying. It's the DTF way.

Listening to the I&W shows a couple of weeks ago reminded me of how in awe I was of him.I got to see him at a clinic he put on at a church near my house, sometime between Awake and ACOS. He had a hand-written Tama logo on his bass drum head because he had just left Mapex. I had only seen DT live once at that point. Sitting 30 feet from him, watching him discuss and play the drums for 90 minutes, was absolutely phenomenal. He's been my favorite drummer ever since.
I took this shot at Axis in Boston on 12/16/92. Unfortunately, it's the only decent shot I got, but my eyes were locked in on him the entire night.
Here's the interview that I saw with DS where he mentions the Anna Lee thing:https://dreamtheater.club/blog/2012/11/21/derek-sherinian-metalled-out-a-little-bit/Speaking of Been Here Before, that one pretty much revisits Anna Lee…Very much so! I thought the music was beautiful and I was never satisfied with the way it turned out on that record. I thought it was too beautiful of a song and I wanted to keep it pure and make it instrumental.Not a ton to go off. Maybe there are other interviews where he's talked about it.
And of course, as an album is often not enough to fill a setlist, are you going to play covers from your other bands (of course we are all thinking about a Dream Theater song, like “Anna Lee” at least if the band doesn’t want to play that song, you could play “Been Here Before”) or from other bands (Van Halen, Deep Purple just like what you did during the Ultimate Jam)?Mike is the set list master. He will let us know when he figures it out. I personally would feel comfortable playing « Lines in the Sand » and « Hell’s Kitchen » as Mike and I wrote half of that music. I have no desire to play Anna Lee again.
This is the only other thing I could find:https://blog.yourmajesty.net/2017/08/29/interview-in-english-derek-sherinian/QuoteAnd of course, as an album is often not enough to fill a setlist, are you going to play covers from your other bands (of course we are all thinking about a Dream Theater song, like “Anna Lee” at least if the band doesn’t want to play that song, you could play “Been Here Before”) or from other bands (Van Halen, Deep Purple just like what you did during the Ultimate Jam)?Mike is the set list master.

After 36 years, I finally got to see my 1st Dream Theater show last night! 🤣 It was a wonderful evening and it was such a pleasure to spend time with my old friends again ☮️🙏
Now THAT is unexpected. Pleasantly so. What shadowy corner did Myung sneak off to, though? Not a photo fan even with your old drummer?
PS - Of course I spent time w John Myung as well...(in fact went to the show with his family), we just didn't snap a pic

That’s pretty cool. As Phil Collins once sang in Genesis “They say that time is a healer.”
Yea crazy to think what it's like to watch a band you were a member in for so long. It did bring a smile to my face seeing him there, the little video he posted on instagram was neat too.

Exactly. You're missing out. Mike has a strong, masculine wave.
beul ni teh efac = Lube In The Face / That has to be wrong. / EDIT: Oh, it's Blue! I'm an idiot.
Pardon the interruption, but I just had to run in and celebrate the majesty of Lube in the Face as highest moment in roulette history
