Dream Theater & Crimson Projekt - USA tour

I just read about Dream Theater going on tour again on USA, from june 15 to july 21. But then, the thing that really got my attention is that they are touring with special guests... Crimson Projekt, which includes Adrian Belew, Tony Levin, Pat Mastelotto, plus Markus Reuter, Julie Slick, and Tobias Ralph. Now, I don't know about you, but for me this Crimson Projekt should be the leading act.

No. I already listed the ones on the band, 3 are former Crimson members, the other three I don't know who they are.

Well if they did come to Canada, to be quite honest, I'd be more looking forward to Crimson Projekt than Dream Theater. Just the fact that half of the 80's line-up is there and Pat Mastelotto is on drums, is absolutely wonderful.

Much though I love Dream Theater, I also would attend because of the Crimson credentials over DT themselves. However, they already came to Mexico (on december) and somehow I don't think they will come again until their next tour/album. However, it would be great if they did come again. Now, I wish I knew what Crimson Projekt will be playing... hopefully some Crimson songs and not just a bunch of improvisations.

I saw this double trio last fall, as the encore of the joint Stickmen/AB Power Trio tour

Yup, I saw they last year and they were incredible. I've got tickets for this for Cincinnati, not too bad, $50 a pop.

The only issue for me is that its the day after Nearfest so I may fall asleep halfway through DT.

It's actually just John Petrucci, along with Joe Satriani and Steve Morse that will be touring South America.

It's a G3 tour, including the 3 guitarists above. So no DT and Crimson Projekct, sorry.

You lucky 'Mericans
