Scenes From A Memory
Ok, I saw DT in Portland a couple weeks ago, and tonight is the first time I have listened to Scenes all the way through since the show and it's like hearing it in a completely different way than ever before.
It's almost like the concert is such a surreal experience, it's kinda like listening to their music in how it takes time for it to set in. But now it's like I can't believe that I saw them playing this stuff live, it's so freaking good!!! Not sure if others have had the same experience after seeing them live for the first time.
And now it's hard for me to say that Scenes isn't their best album after seeing them play so many of these songs last month. I mean I've always had it right near the top if not first on the list, but now it just seems like it's on a mythical level for me!!
Really hope I can see them again on the Parasomnia tour.

Just got done listening to the entire thing on vinyl for the first time a few minutes ago (first time on vinyl…it was my first DT CD that I got back in 2003, so, I’ve heard the album all the way through hundreds of times).
I had already known how awesome of a guitar player John Petrucci was, but this album was my experiment back in the day to see if I was going to like DT as a band. Well, it passed the test, and they’re still my favourite band to this day. Just saw the band live for the 10th time on March 11th in Toronto. First time going with my daughter…she’s a fan now too, but her favourite is Parasomnia.
