Hello everyone!
My name is Kristina, I'm 24 and from Germany. I've been reading here for quite some time and have now finally decided to register.
My father introduced me to Dream Theater's music about 8 years ago and I have been a fan ever since. In January 2014 I saw them live for the first time in Munich and I was really REALLY impressed and they became my absolute favorite band.

That year I went again to their summer show in Mannheim and even though they played exactly the same set list, it was once again a phenomenal experience. Especially because they played the second half of Awake, their best album to date, in my opinion. And I love how they changed up Space-Dye Vest!
This July I will see them on their special "30th anniversary" tour, I'm looking forward to see what they will come up with for that.

Dream Theater also got me into other progressive bands including: Rush, Haken, Porcupine Tree, Threshold, Seventh Wonder, Symphony X ...and so on

I'm looking forward to talk to other DT fans here, as I don't really know anyone except my father who knows/likes them. It's great to see that this place is still so active, as most of the internet forums are dead nowadays because of Facebook.
