My little bro and I just saw DT at Radio City last weekend. What a fantastic show they put on! Their use of multiple video screens really added to the concept album--which they played in its entirety. These guys continue to push the envelope in prog rock and if you're a fan of concept albums or DT you should check this one out. It's a 2-disc set with a story about conformity and rebellion in the future (overdone, I know). I liked the cds before the concert but the show just brought me into the story line so much more. If I had to describe the experience I'd say it had a Hunger Games feel in a 2112-inspired story. If anyone has seen the show I'd be interested in their thoughts.

Always enjoyed DT. Haven't kept up with them, I'll have to check this one out.
H9"Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul!
