Dream Theater '06

\m/

Tonight was my first time seeing Dream Theater in concert. I have to say, I was not disappointed. My back hurts from standing, my throat hurts from singing and my ears hurt from the music, but it was the best three hours ever. They played a history of their music starting way back in 1985 with a song they wrote while they were still Majesty (a song I didn't recognize, actually) all the way up until the closer, Octavarium. I was kind of surprised they finished with Octavarium; I figured they'd save it for the final show at Radio City Music Hall where they might have an orchestra. It was amazing nonetheless. LaBrie sounded amazing too; I'm glad his vocal cords have finally healed. He really slammed every note.

I'm friggin' tired. Here's to another twenty years of Dream Theater.
