What a great gig last night. It was my 14th time seeing Dream Theater, and my third time with Mangini on the kit. I have to say, of those three (ADToE, Images & Beyond, DoT), this one was the best one yet. There is an undeniable chemistry between those guys on stage now. MM keeps everyone loose, tons of smiles, and really good energy. I've never seen Labrie move around like that before.
The songs from DoT really play extremely well live. And James -- I can't say enough how much he has impressed. He's meticulous about his preparation, and it really shows. If you were on the fence going, get off and come to the show.
