Lost Not Forgotten Archives: Live In Tokyo, 2010

Six songs and one of them is twenty-one minutes, so you know what you're in for. The clean stretch in the middle of The Count of Tuscany is the reason I keep coming back, Petrucci quits shredding for two minutes and just lets the arpeggios ring out. Portnoy's last night with the band before the long exile and you can hear it, he's hitting everything a little too hard. Summer Sonic crowd sounds tiny in the mix, wish I'd been in it. anyway
