When it comes to progressive metal bands, they don’t come much bigger than Dream Theater. The band’s 25-year career has garnered more than 10 million worldwide album sales. Tonight, they were at Rockhal to promote their latest album A Dramatic Turn Of Events, and this show was the last on their European Tour.

Once again, we got what we wanted; a powerful, professional performance, filled with the fantastic technical skills of all musicians. James LaBrie’s voice was in top shape, and new drummer Mike Mangini really hit those drums in a good way. The audience loved every minute of the concert. There was a nice atmosphere, even for a Wednesday night. Fans certainly weren’t thinking about the next working day to enjoy the show. What more can we ask for?

Dream Theater:
James LaBrie (Vocals)
John Petrucci (Guitars)
John Myung (Bass)
Jordan Rudess (Keys)
