DT's ''Grand Finale'' - Progressive Rock Music Forum

Possibly the end of the Octavarium tour where they filmed the show for a DVD. Getting stoked about that one.

E

Yeah. It's gonna be a DVD or summit so it's probably that.

WOW !! I must get that DVD........ When they came to Argentina the past year they ROCKED ALL BUENOS AIRES !!

Message from Mike Portnoy regarding the Radio City Music Hall show

   "Without going into too much detail (I promised myself and my family
    some rest and time away from the computer), I have to THANK all
    of you in attendance last night at Radio City Music Hall for
    helping to make last night's show one of the most incredible
    evenings of my life.

    Of the hundreds of shows (maybe thousands at this point?) that
    we've done through the years, never before have I been moved on
    stage as much as I was last night.

    There were several points in the night where I was literally
    brought to tears by the power and emotion in the air.

    I just wanted to thank our AMAZING fans from all over the world
    that helped make last night so electric and magical from start
    to finish....you guys were the ULTIMATE audience last night!

    We always dreamed of playing with an Orchestra one day and last
    night's performance surpassed my wildest expectations.

    Jamshied Sharifi (our beloved arranger & conductor) and the
    incredible musicians behind us rose to the occasion and lifted
    our music to a whole new orgasmic level.

    I cannot wait to share this evening with all of you that weren't
    able to attend via the upcoming DVD and CD sets that I will be
    working on in the coming months.

    (No rest for the wicked...or at least me!)

    I truly believe last night was the PINNACLE of our 20 year
    career thus far and an incredible ending to the latest
    chapter in DT history.

    How the hell will we top it???????????

    Give me some time, and I'll think of something!

    Luv, MP"

What an awesome setlist. Six Degrees entirely, Octavarium and of course the second set accompanied by an orchestra. I loved this with Metallica and Doro, but with Dream Theater this must have even been better! I can't wait before the DVD comes out!

	On Dream Theater's website it's written that the show on April 1st was the ''Grand Finale''. Does this mean that it was DT's last show?

	Probably not. Grand Finale to their 20th Anniversary Tour. The biggest show they've ever done. Etc. etc.

	That concert was awesome! Could've improved the setlist a little I walk beside you???! but they did do Six Degrees in its entirety. And Metropolis was amazing.
