I should get that DVD...I have the cd, and it's quite good.

We actually discussed Dream Theater in music theory today...apparently, Rudess's wife (or somebody related to him) owns a theater company about 10 minutes from my house.

My guitar teacher said he had a friend who knew Rudess as well.

That man is a brilliant pianist...

He has a keyboard solo on the DVD. I don't know...with a band like Dream Theater...you need to hear them as well as see them (espicially Portnoy).

The camera work on 'Live at Budokan' is amazing.

What state is Dream Theater from?

DT remains my favorite band for about 4-5 years now. i have every album plus many Portnoy dvds. For me, they are the only one band that never gets me bored after hearing the song countless times. everytime i hear Erotomania and Dance of Eternity, something goes down in my stomach. they are just, flawlessly written.

As far as drumming goes, there ARE [I]more influential drummers[/I] out there, but i don't think there are many who can play with the intensity Portnoy pump out. I went to their 15th anniversity show in Hollywood and for 3 god**** hours (their shows are 3 hours long...) with so much charisma it was just inspirational... so i ended up buying a ticket to Japan for Budokan show and he did awesome job there, too

Portnoy will always be my #1 hero... too bad i couldn't see him on Giga tour.

New York. LaBrie is Canadian and I think Rudess might be from Portland but I'm not sure.

Too bad you didn't get speared too.

They played DSOTM yeterday :( wished I was there

What's up with all these Canadians? :P

[QUOTE=Dragon_Prince]They played DSOTM yeterday :( wished I was there[/QUOTE]
It would actually annoy me slightly if they played someone else's album in it's entirety. I go to see DT, not Pink Floyd, even though I love them as well.

[QUOTE=Dragon_Prince]They played DSOTM yeterday :( wished I was there[/QUOTE]

Hmm, I wonder if that means they'll cover it in London as well? Dark Side should be very cool, but I was secretly hoping they might do a Pantera album.

I would cry tears of sorrow an blood if I went to see DT and they covered a gay pantera album, no offence to you Pantera fans, but I really would hate it.

Oh I'd hate it too. I'd throw my shoes at Petrucci.

...it would be cool if they played SFAM or I&W in its entitiry....that would be good for all DT fans

Apparently the second show in London will contain "a classic album in it's entirety", I have no Idea if that's a DT album, or a cover of another band's work, but I&W live next tour would cause me to have convulsions of joy

I suppose I wouldnt mind Number of the Beast or something like that but I think a DT album would be the coolest

I'd die to see them do I&W live.

Dude, you went to Budokan! :amaze: How was it?

Med, it is DSOTM that they're playing.

Are you sure they'll play the same album in London as they did in Amsterdam?

Man DREAM THEATER RULEZ! I've heard about them 2 or 3 years ago but couldn't get anything to them, but 2 months ago (On 10/8/05) I got their COMPLETE ALBUMS on a MP3 CD !-hey I got their albums as mp3 coz I live in Iraq :upset: , and here everything is pirated :D !- man they rulez, they became my 2nd favorite band after (Metallica), also John Petrucci's (Suspended Animation) Rocks. my favorite songs to DT are: Pull Me Under, Another Day, Wait For Sleep, Home, Fatal Tragedy and ALL (TOT) songs. :thumb:

You haven't heard The Glass Prison, or A Change of Seasons, have you?

Some could say a few songs on Octavarium are a bit heavier too.
