Awesome, I can't wait to see Dream Theater. What time will it be on the East Coast when they are on?

Had this bookmarked. It's gonna be sick seeing them on the Main Stage!

Petrucci and his BALLS in about 30 minutes.

Sat ready to watch the boys do their stuff with a glass of iced fruit juice! About 10 minutes to go!

Hope JP is playing the mystery BFR!

Alright!!! Here we go.

Although you won't find a much bigger DT fan than me, I do think it's time for James to stop singing 'Pull Me Under'. He just can't do it anymore.

By the way, the streaming quality was OUTSTANDING until DT came on. I'm guessing that means that DT has a bunch more fans than Journey at this point?

The quality is pretty good here. Got it full screen on a 24" monitor and it's not too bad.

 

[MikeVt]

It's not horrible, but I'm estimating 7-10 fps here. It was a lot smoother earlier. It could be my local ISP load...who knows.

Or all the people from MP's forum (me included) are watching it; dragging the bandwidth through a straw!

Did anyone else notice Jordan Rudess using an iPod touch as a controller?

Is that what it was? Just caught a quick glimpse of it

Man, that BFR Dargie is sexy.

And the 6-String Bongo is a Monster. Looks great.

 

[MikeVt]

Interesting version of Hollow Years....close to Budokan, but with some changes the chorus.

He's using the Bebot application. It's a $1.99 download from the iTunes store. It drives my wife crazy when I play it while she tries to watch John & Kate plus 8. He uses it for the end of the solo on the album version of A Rite of Passage as well. It's actually rather addictive.

I'm wondering if that Dargie BFR is actually a flip color guitar. Depending on how the light hits it, it seems to have some hues of Bronze.

I don't think it's a Dargie...no martini inlays...and the green is a shade darker than Dargie Delight.

There's another thread about this: http://www.ernieball.com/forums/mus...-dream-ball-family-reserve-john-petrucci.html

Ahh Ok Thanks for the link. Seemed to be the same shade as my Dargie JP. But it's hard to tell what the color is really like on a computer monitor.
