| Notes |
The band was ready to go tonight! As with all the other
shows played so far on this tour, San Diego fans were given the Dream
Theater salute of gratitude, and the nay-sayers an 'ownage', with the
opening of As I Am. After As I Am, the band went right into This Dying Soul
just to make sure all creatures were stirring! The crowd was very into this
show, and once again, DT delivered a nice mix of songs from several of their
releases. Awake, I&W, and Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence were quickly
represented into the mix. The sound was delivered very well.
Plenty of low end was generated nicely in this recording, perfect for
those neighbors you don't like too well. Surprisingly, unlike the other
shows, we were missing the extended improv jam, however, I can't complain -
the fans were treated to a nice guitar solo by John Petrucci, followed by
Jordan Rudess on keys. Towards the end of the show, fans got to enjoy the
final 3 tracks of Train Of Thought with the band taking a breather while
James sings Vacant, followed by Streams Of Consciousness and In The Name of
God. Thereafter, the sign that the show is near coming to an end, the DT
flagsong, Metropolis Pt 1, began with the fans clapping in rhythm of the
beat and showing their appreciation for a night to remember in Southern
California.
The only anomaly in this release is that there is no anomaly! This is a
very good sounding recording. The bass levels in some parts of the show are
very apparant, giving a muffled sound, but overall, very clean. Mids and
highs are clear. All instruments and vocals come through clear. |
