13 Jun 2007 Dream Theater in Newcastle: Doing it for the fans

[Misc] Last Saturday I was in Newcastle with my good friend Mr WiGz. What was I doing up there? Why I was seeing one of the most well-known prog rock bands Dream Theater. And I gotta say that they are pretty good. Well worth the ticket money.

They started off with a good couple of songs, then did a couple of songs from their new album 'Systematic Chaos', namely 'Constant Motion' and 'Forsaken'. Afterwards they did something special. Because it was their 15th anniversary of somethingorother they spent the rest of the night playing every song from their Images and Words album.

Like I said they were pretty damn good. It was like listening to their CD, but only like in person. It did done make me all smiley and singy and such.

It was pretty odd looking at the crowd though. It was full of old men. I'm talking grey, balding long hair, geeky looking. would partly explain their choice of playing their old stuff to please the fans. That There was not one fit looking girl in the whole place. There were some kids there too, no doubt they were dragged along by their dads. "C'mon Timmy, you'll love Dream Theater. YOU WILL!!"

Also it was unfortunate for DT front man James Labrie. His choice of cream coloured shirt and trouser really brought up his sweat patches. Most notably the one around his crotch area. I bet the front row guys and girls got more than they were expecting.
