Woah. Dream Theater were one of the first – if not the first – bands I ever interviewed. Specifically then-drummer Mike Portnoy after their gig at Bradford Queens Hall on the original tour for this album. Sadly, the recording is lost in the halls of time, but I still can’t believe it’s been 25 years! I now feel even older than I already am…
The European leg of the new tour, which gets underway on January 30th in Rome, visits the U.K. between April 18th-23rd, 2017, and will see the pioneering group celebrating the 25th anniversary of their milestone gold-certified album, Images & Words. Each performance will see the iconic progressive rock band delivering an unparalleled live set of Images & Words in its entirety along with fan favourites from their renowned catalogue.
