Oh, by the way, David, I'm totally with you on LaBrie. I hadn't been able to get into a DT album since Scenes prior to Octavarium, and for the longest time I blamed it on Kevin Moore leaving the band. But, after hearing "An Evening With..." I had to re-evaluate, as his playing on that was incredibly tasty. I wanted to blame them on Portnoy, but couldnt as the LTE discs own. I figured maybe JP had just lost all taste, but his G3 tour and solo album changed that. And Myung was the same as ever.
So, I'd pretty much decided the last couple DT albums were LaBrie's fault, right until HIS solo album came out, where aside from the first track which I just didn't care for was pretty much phenominal.
I'd just decided that I didn't like DT anymore and only liked DT sideprojects, when they released Octavarium, which I DID like. Go figure, it's like they're fucking with me.
