Here's the video where all began. Welcome back Portnoy!

The 14 year old Eric and Conner would be shitting their pants right now. I couldn't imagine what is going through these "kids" minds; getting to play with their heroes I am sure

Eric Gillette is a young John Petrucci. After seeing Eric play live in Orlando with The Neal Morse Band, the future of prog is bright.

Regarding cell phones...the thing is, sure, it's fine if there's 1 or 2 up in the air, and that footage gets to KZread. We who can't go to the shows all appreciate that. But when it's literally like 40-50% of the audience ALL holding their phones up, getting shitty shaky footage, and those phones block so many others' views of the stage...that just sucks.
