2.5 OUT OF 3'S NOT BAD

First off, highly entertaining night in all. Started with jaw dropping Animals as Leaders taking my breathe away with instrumental skill beyond most bands capabilities and tasty head banging moments between mind altering prog glory! Then Devin Townsend takes the stage with a voice with a built in distortion pedal and vocal range to die for. Unique is the word and incredibly fun to enjoy. Then the main event, Dream Theater. Now I have seen them once before and was amazed, stunned and enthralled with the walls of sound, the incomparable talents and musicianship. And...that's what I got with this show with exception of the vocals. James LaBrie is accomplished with many years behind him of astonishing performance. Unfortunately if he doesn't make some changes soon, behind him is where his reputation is going to stay. Pitch problems, engagement and at one moment almost felt like self pity from James took a toll on the show. I believe lower key changes might resolve this. Good luck sir.

WORST SOUND MIX EVER AT MICROSOFT THEATER!

Band was great, as usual, but the audience mix was horrible. Muddy bass, vocals too quiet.....by far the worst ever live sound! I will never attend a musical event at this venue...the same thing happened at the YES concert 4 years ago...see your favorites somewhere else if you want to enjoy the music.

FANTASTIC BAND, MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE - TERRIBLE SOUND LAST NIGHT

The low end was just terrible at the show in St. Louis last night. Could not hear/distinguish any bass drum hits, completely muddy. I've never been a fan of a single bass drum for metal(ish) bands. Independent bass drums with independent mics are the way to go, all trigger talk aside. Again, I will always love this band, but last night's show was horrible in terms of the auditory experience.
