I'm not around much anymore to shoot the breeze so I didn't put 2 and 2 together that you and Peter were together. That's quite cool!
Nothing wrong with a Dream Theater show. I won't go anymore (I've seen four I think) because they're too brutally technical. The last time they played the entire Scenes of A Memory and it was just a bit too much. But I really liked Kevin Moore and John Myung on bass is a treat.
Funny about those guys. Jim Matheos from Fates Warning and Portnoy and Moore formed OSI, Petrucci and Portnoy formed Liquid Tension, Myung was with Platypus, and of course Portnoy with Neal Morse, etc. Quite an eclectic crew.
Anyone who thinks James LaBrie is just a screamer should check out the Ayreon CD he's on. He's quite good. It's just he goes too high on the DT material. That's more of the band showing off.
As for Queensryche, the November show was the entire Operation Mindcrime I and II, with actors. Incredible band. Geoff Tate was well within an acceptable range. I guess he was showing off just to hurt your ears vax
but he's very good. That shaved head happens to
some when they get old. They've been around a while now.
Again, glad you liked DT.
