Saw Dream Theater last night.

[Initech]

Holy crap they were amazing and they played a tiny little theater in Riverside, CA called The Fox Theater. So even if you were in the balcony you were able to be really up close with the band. Thanks to a computer error they sat me next to the band's equipment and after going to the usher about it, I got a nice upgrade to my seats.

This was the set list:

Set 1:

False Awakening Suite (DT history video intro)
The Enemy Inside
The Shattered Fortress
On The Backs Of Angels
The Looking Glass
Trail Of Tears (extended version with instrumental jam)
Enigma Machine (with Mike Mangini Drum Solo)
Along For The Ride
Breaking All Illusions

Set 2:

The Mirror
Lie
Lifting Shadows Off A Dream
Scarred
Space Dye Vest
Illumination Theory

Encore:

Overture 1928
Strange Deja Vu
The Dance Of Eternity
Finally Free

Give you an idea of how close to the stage I was:

1. That's a great set so envious

[Codeine]

2. I live just a few blocks from there.

Saw the Mythbusters stage show in that venue last year, and in the old, pre-renovation days the Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation used to have a midnight showing when they came into town.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

3. Nice!

Lucky you.

4. Them boys is good, huh.
