Yesterday was the best day of my life...

6 am: I woke up

8 am: I ate a good breakfast

1 pm: I went to Tropical Music (music store, as you might've guessed :))

3:30 pm: I met Mike Portnoy \m/ \m/

3:31 pm: got a few good photos with him and I got his signature on another photo

4:30 pm - 7:30 pm: I ate a lot pizza and drank a lot of beer to get ready for the best show of all time

8:30 pm: The lights went dark at the Coloseum of Puerto Rico

8:31 - 11:30: we had a FUCKING great time at the show!!!!

Man, I have never been to a rock show so goddamn good in my life. LaBrie sang everything even BETTER than the CDs and DVDs. They played a little from every album and it was AWESOME!!! Last night I slept horrible though. Way too much headbanging, my head hurts a lot, my neck is stiffer than the petrified forest and my eyes can barely handle any light at all.

Jordan, oh my god man.. you played so fucking great! I enjoyed every second of the show. We were the ones on the very left (if you are looking from the stage to the audience) and we were 1 of 2 or 3 groups of people that were the most passionate. We banged on the friggin barrier in front of us to most of the beats, my groups drummer was swinging away on his air-drum, and I sang so goddamn loud that I lost my voice. But all in all, every single second of it was worth it. And at the end, everyone went crazy with the riffs of Pull Me Under. It was awesome!! It's a pity I couldn't get to meet you, that was my number one goal, but since LaBrie said at the end that you guys are coming back, I HAVE to meet you. All through the night I couldn't believe how flawless LaBrie sang throughout the entire show. Hell, I lost my voice after the 3rd song.

Here's somewhat the lineup that they had.

Root of All Evil
Panic Attack
Under a Glass Moon
Lie
Peruvian Skies/Whereever I may Rome
Through Her Eyes
last 3 6DOIT songs

Intermission

As I am
Endless Sacrifice
I walk beside you
Sacrificed Sons
Octavarium

Encore

Through My Words
Pull Me Under/Metropolis


Those are the ones I remember, there were a few more that I can't remember. Either way, it was kickass! Jordan, can't wait to see you guys next time!!

Great for you! I'm still dreaming the day that I can see DT at least 100 mts away :'(.
Did you see MP in the music store by surprise or it was a Singing thing?

It was at the instore. He's a great guy! I got there pretty late, there was a huge line, but lucky enough a friend of mine was there since 9am and he got me all the way to the front. I was the second person to meet him at the instore. Real cool experience.

Man, ThaisPetrucci, you have so many pictures of DT. It's like you follow them everywhere! Well your signature does say so...

Do you take all these pictures?

I'm glad your day went so well. I spent my day playing a couple gigs and getting frustrated with incompetent horn players who won't listen to what's going on, or what other people are doing.

You're so lucky!

Question: What's LaBrie doing on the keyboards? Looks like he's jamming whilst JR's playing on the Continuum?

Thats where Jordan is playing the intro of Octavarium. Jordan does both things at once, and plays notes like the album, then LaBrie takes over the Oasys while Jordan completely changes the intro and starts going crazy with both hands. It was really cool.
