I think the difference between last night and the summer big amphitheater shows I've seen DT play was that at the latter, I expected to be "far away," y'know? Last night, I was in the 10th or 11th row, and I might as well have been as row 35-40, or whereever I was last August at Pine Knob.... I thought the video boards were kick ass, the presentations they had on there, especially that intro....you'd hope if this tour ever turns into a DVD release, that would kick off the video.... all that said....i did enjoy myself....but at best, I can say it was cool, but nothing special.... partha ps: Petrucci's haircut was cracking me up all night....it makes the guy looks like Ross from Friends..... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
