Hi guys, I'm new here.
I'm a die hard fan of Rush, have seen them 10 times since 1980. A young co-worker in her twenties made me discover Dream Theater 4 years ago. Fell in love with the band and started listening to everything about them. So this time it was my third time seeing them at Place des Arts. Great seats, the band was playing perfectly and enjoying themselves. After seeing that show, I can't imagine Portnoy coming back as it looks perfectly clear to me that they are having a blast playing together.
Portnoy is about the only drummer I know showing so much while it looks so easy. But Mangini has to be among the very best in the world. His drum solo is for sure the best one I have seen in my life.
By the way, Labrie looks to me a little thinner on that tour.
Thanks guys.
