He's beenusing the Demeter stuff for a long time, I thought.

He's beenusing the Demeter stuff for a long time, I thought.

He has. Mixed with a lot of Mesa stuff, until this tour. Now it's all Demeter, and Fractal Audio.

Yep I didn't see any Boogie in that Rig Rundown video either. KS' post looks to be in line w/ that interview.

I saw DT again a few weeks ago. It was the first time they played Vermont! I hope they will play again but the theater was only about 3/4 full?
The sound was a little off though. John Petrucci was SUPER loud! and James must have been doing vocal exercises or something, holy FREJOLES he was LOUD!!! They had this one reverb patch on his voice that must have dislodged the plaster from the ceiling!
JM was pretty buried in the mix but did say his playing on this album was to support the songs. Which seems to be true.
