I'll be posting photos of myself with the band once I get them off my friends camera. Everyone (minus Petrucci) came out after the show to hang out. I had them all sign my ticket and got pictures, too.
James' mom and the rest of his family left out the back entrance too. It's nice to see their support!
Mangini talked to the crowd for a solid fifteen minutes. It was a blast to have witnessed him.
This was my ninth time seeing Dream Theater and I have to say that it was probably their most energetic. I've never seen the guys have so much fun on stage before. I was certain to not hear Breaking All Illusions - but what a thrill! I was ninth row on the right-side centre in front of Petrucci. The acoustics were phenomenal - as they usually are as Massey.
I wish all bands I saw live played there.
MM had written on his FB status : " Accordingly, I may throw a special melody into my solo tonight " .I was guessing something like YYZ .Did he do something eventually?
Naw, he didn't, unfortunately.
@ johnnysuperfan
I was with Tim at the bus with you. I think I may have a photo of you just hanging around with Mangini.
Yup.
Overall, like I said, my ninth time seeing them, and this was them on the top of their game.
Plus I heard Breaking All Illusions.
RESULT!
