WOW, OVERALL WOW! Dream Theatre was disapointing. They didnt play anythign off Awake (in fact they didn't play nay songs i really knew) and I still despise their singer. Myungs tone was crap (what's new?) there was no bass solo, and in fact you couldn't really hear him. Yes on the other hand was INSANE. Squire has amazing tone, cuts through and literally made the stadium shake. thy played a whole bunch of instruments, geetar, lap geetar, portugeese geetar, harp, a bunch of percussion. and they did a huge acoustic set w/ a bluesy version of roundabout, but they didn't play heart of the sunrise or the Fish  which is really my only complaint. Wow those guys can really put on a show and they are all old enough to be my grandpa! They did little skits and made funnies too  Like they brought out a grand piano during the acoustic set and at the end they dragged Rick off stage while he was still playing and Jon was like we're having a raffle after, whoever wins gets the piano and Rick. I've never seen anyone change basses so much as Squire, up to twice per song!!!! he had a triple neck bass too but I was sitting kind of far and save the Ricks I couldn'T make any out. They had the crazy blow up stuff on stage and all too. WOW! Just an amazing show and I never knew Howe was so talented (in fact before tonight I never liked him much.....  ) Great show.
Oh yeah at the end of 1 song Dream Theatre played the intro to Xanadu which got me excited but Portnoy and John sorta just butchered it then they played somehtign else..... Good thing I,ll be seeing the REAL Rush on Saturday 
Sorry if there are alot of typos, I just got home, and am pretty beat and now I'm off to bed.
Peace

| | | Sadly, Yes is coming nowhere near me (as far as I know) this tour. Hopefully next time (pretty sure there'll be a next time, seems like those guys are constantly on the road these days.)
Dream Theater... I have a couple of their albums, but I'm not really big on the prog-metal thing. Just classic prog for me. 
Hope you enjoy the Rush show, I know I did. They tore it up big time. Alex is freaking hilarious. |

| | | Lucky you man, I'd kill for Dream Theater to come to Saskatchewan. And Yes isn't bad either .

Ahem... anyways, they said it was a pretty good show, although they told me Dream Theater was quite good. I would have gone but, you know, Rush.  |

Got backstage passes, and hung out and hob-nobbed with Steve, Chris, and Rick. Jon was there but I was not able to meet him. A true lifetime moment - keep on the lookout - you could make a show like that and get home to Houston the next day! http://www.yesworld.com |

and the info from it:
Top neck: 6 string (3 x octave strings) AADDGG
Middle Neck: 4 string EADG Fretted
Bottom Neck: 4 string EADG Fretless
I really like the look of the angle mounted and rounded P-Type pickups on the lower 2 necls too!!!!
Hmmm... It's a 14 string bass, but Jaco only needed heroin...

| | | It's crazy how that tripleneck doesn't seem to faze Chris with its bulk. He's such a huge guy. It's kinda funny seeing old pics of Geddy Lee looking all skinny with his Rick and then to see a pic of Chris with his, and it practically looks like a pin on his shirt (or cape as the case may be.) |
