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 :
