Cool, so far from reading the reviews, good thing is only 1 fan got lost and showed up at the wrong concert 'cause he obviously didn't see the same show everyone else saw!

Sounds great. Four more days till our turn in SLC. The numbers leading into the encore and after on this show are excellent. Fellas, please play Breaking all Illusions at the SLC show.That song is turning out to be one of your best ever in my opinion. I must see JP play that solo in the middle, plus I think this song displays an incredible amount of finesse that MM has on the set.

The show was great overall, because DT always rocks the show. I did notice the highs were overwhelming at times and almost had to cover my ears a few points. Didn't mean that DT didn't perform flawless, they were amazing. I noticed Labrie's messup on PMU, but it just shows that he is human even though he "sang the song soo many times", or how he said it haha. He was humorous and joked it off like a professional. It was awesome that he did not make the moment awkward and continued the rest of the song great. I would like to also mention that he sings really well live and has a great voice. DT gave me more for what I paid for and would gladly see them ANYTIME they come back to LA. Shit I might even fly out to NY for a couple concerts, haha.

I would also like to mention that Mr. Magini was AWESOME. I cant think of any drummer to be a perfect replacement than him. I loved his humour while playing the set/solo and he just blew me away with his talent(along with the rest of the talent of DT). Great job Mangini!!! Thanks again DT for an awesome evening.


p.s. It was my mother's and step dad's 1st DT concert and they both loved it (and im almost 30yrs old, to give you an idea). At the end of the night, we all walked out with DT merch, haha.

Happy to see they are keeping the tradition of changing up the setlist.

I've Been a fan since I heard Pull Me Under on KNAC. 1st concert wasnt until the Six Degrees Of Inner Tourbulance, at the little Wiltern Theater in LA. Me & Wifey see them every year. Last nights show was the first time we spent $$ on the
''VIP Tour Package tickets & boy did it pay off we ended up in the 5th row, Center!! .........I KNOW!!!!!
By far one of the best shows we've seen. Not just it was where we sat but, it just had a different vibe to it. It seemed fresh somehow. Not bothered by the setlist. Mike Man-Genie has 25 years of DT songs to master. Thank you, to everyone in DT.

I flew from Cleveland to check out the 1st two shows of the new tour. San Francisco venue was quite intimate and I while I started off in the 2nd row, I ended up in the front row courtesy of the Trivium fans propensity for shoving other people around - Thanks Guys! The show was fantastic. The venue in LA was top notch and while I wasn't nearly as close, the experience was just as good with the enhanced light show and additional screens to see the band closeups. And the did "Breaking All Illusions", the guitar solo from which is my new Petrucci favorite. The band modified the sets a bit between the first two shows which was great. Thanks DT! You guys are an amazing band. Welcome too Mr. Mangini - your drum solo blew me away!
See you again in Pittsburgh next Tuesday! Can't wait.

DT Please keep "Breaking All Illusions" on the setlist every night!!! One of the top 3 DT songs of all time!!! I will be disappointed if they dont play it in Toronto Oct 6th! Hearing that song live will put a smile on my face for weeks

I'm so happy to see that everyone is enjoying the shows. At the moment I'm sitting in my hotel room in Seattle listening to some Ian Anderson solo music. Gotta give the brain a break from the complexities of Breaking All Illusions etc.. :).....
Also working on some new app stuff here. We are getting so close to actually getting out my newest app "Geo Synthesizer". It is a total players app. Its fast and responsive and will surely shake up the Ipad/iphone world when it comes to really be able to rock!
I look forward to seeing more of you as we float around the USA!!
Thanks for the feedback here everyone!
