Just heard that Dream Theater have announced their European Tour dates.
See here for details : http://www.dreamtheater.net/tourdates.php#eurotourdates

Really pleased to see they're coming to Glasgow .. tickets will be purchased !! ;D ;D

Well, the gig was last night ... and it was amazing.
Dream Theater put on quite a show & Mike Mangini was outstanding on the drums - you'd think he'd been with the band for ages !!
My favourite track they played has to be "The Spirit Carries On" with John Petrucci playing an extended solo at the beginning. :) :) :)

There are some videos of the gig on Youtube, but they're all taken on phones, so the quality isn't too good.
Here's The Spirit Carries On vid : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXmPI4nAJq4
Revised on Friday with a better version with the intro ! ;)
