Those that know me understand that I have a wide range of musical tastes, but the common denominator is musicianship. IMO, Dream Theater sets the bar in the Progressive Metal genre, and the easiest way to summarize them is simply this: They can play anyone else’s stuff, but very few, if any, can play their stuff – at least without a whole lotta effort. I’ve had the great fortune of not only experiencing these guys on stage, but also off-stage; and they are quite simply refreshing people! My good friend Greg Hosharian is a professional composer and keyboardist who had the priviledge of touring with Dream Theater last year, during which he befriended Jordan Rudess.

Jordan is to keyboards what Jimmy Page is to guitars. He is regarded by most as the best in the business (today)… Talented beyond belief, yet Humble beyond expectation. It was great seeing him and the other DT guys after the show! Special thanks to Jordan’s keyboard tech Robert Dorion for making it happen and inviting us to hang out on the tour bus (VERY NICE). I think Greg and I were the last to leave the after show party somewhere around 3A? A very good night… What about the concert? Nothing short of another remarkable performance!
