Dream Theater - Hala Orbita, 16.02.2020 Wrocław
During „The Distance Over Time Tour” DREAM
THEATER will play almost thirty concerts throughout Europe. I had a chance and privilege
to take part in the Polish part of it. On 16th of February the PROGMETAL legend
played a special concert in Orbita Hall in Wroclaw; a fantastic celebration of
sonic artistry, rich show and incredible atmosphere made it one of the
highlights of this winter.
On the occasion of the 35th anniversary of
their activity, the band prepared a special three-hour set for their fans,
including, among others: the performance of the cult album "Metropolis pt.
2: Scenes From A Memory "in full.
Dream Theater was initiated in 1985, when its
three founders - John Petrucci (guitar),
John Myung (bass guitar) and Mike Portnoy (drums) - explored the secrets of
musical knowledge at the prestigious Berklee College of Music.
Mike Portnoy left Dream Theater in 2010, and
two Johns are in the group to this day. In addition to being a music composer,
Petrucci has also been involved in album production for years. The line-up is
complemented by James LaBrie (vocals), a keyboard player Jordan Rudess and the
one who replaced Portnoy, his namesake Mangini.
Dream Theater are the creators of immortal
works of the genre: "Images And Words", "Awake" or
"Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory. " This is a double
Grammy-nominated band that has sold over 12 million albums worldwide. It's
ultimately a band that never stands still and tries to add something new to it,
seem to break down, quite a stiff genre and create great performances during
concerts.
