Dream Theater, Opeth, BTBAM...

[Shannon]

SEATTLE 5/5/08...
Overall, I had a great time seeing 3 of my favorite bands of all time on the same bill! The sound wasn't the best (BTBAM being the worst), but since I knew all of the BTBAM, Opeth & DT songs by heart, it didn't bother me too much. Not to mention, I got moved up to the 4th row for DT! The sound got MUCH better the closer to the stage you were. To see John Petrucci & Jordan Rudess dualing that close up was BEYOND description. My jaw was on the floor....

I'm not sure if I'll go to the Wamu Theater for a show again, but I still don't regret going to THIS particular event.

Ratings on performance (1 to 10):
3 - 7
BTBAM - 8
Opeth - 10
DT - 10+

Here's a few pics from my buddy. More to follow this weekend he said....

Dream theater and three were definatly REALLY AWESOME

 

[Gilbucci]

3 blew my mind. They were freaking incredible. As was Opeth..Akerfeldt is HILARIOUS, and has got a growl to freaking die for.

When DT came out, I went CRAZY. Seeing John Petrucci right in front of me was something I can't even begin to put into words. Their set list pwned (even with the absence of a 7 string song) and James sounded freaking awesome..along with the rest of the band, of course. Petrucci even looked at me and gave me thumbs up at the end...I know you guys are all thinking ''WHO GIVES A SHIT?'' but, Petrucci has been my idol ever since I discovered him (a year and a half ago) he was the one made me push my playing to the next level, so it means sooooo much to me. I still can't believe I went to see them. It still hasn't registered

^ I felt exactly the same way when they came here a couple months ago...

 

[Stealthdjentstic]

hey gilbucci remember when the guitarist singer guy broke all six strings at once?

 

[Gilbucci]

Yeah, it was crazy. He started swinging it around with the low E string too

 

[Stealthdjentstic]

That sucks about the sound Shannon, the sound at the Orpheum in Vancouver was fucking perfect.
