Erotomania

Dream Theater @ The Myth - Maplewood, MN - 2008.05.12

Dream Theater's set for The Progressive Nation 2008 Tour is a tough one. Its short (90 minutes) and it consists of highly progressive selections, meaning it wasn't a simple accessible "song" show - it was a 90 minute workout. Given this level of difficulty, for them and the crowd, they performed flawlessly. They were right on, as tight as ever. This was perhaps the best drum work I've heard from Portnoy, a very intense solo - which I hope becomes documented on a future video release. This show proved the high level these guys have achieved in their craft.
