Yep, that was pretty great. I think he said something like, "and the next song begins like this," and started humming. The crowd went nuts.

This is my story, as well, except I gave them a try around 2002-2003. Didn't really "get" them until Ghost Reveries. And yes they are the only ones I listen to.

I wish the funk bit was even longer.

That's awesome!

Why not? My name is Wayne, 40 years old, living in the US (Maryland, near Baltimore). I've seen the band twice - 26 May 2008 on ProgNation with Dream Theater and 26 October 2008, headlining, in Washington DC. I basically got into the band after hearing about them over at Mike Portnoy's forum...

Okay, I'll bite. How did you manage to talk to them afterward? Granted I didn't try very hard, but I looked around afterward and didn't see any buses anywhere, so I didn't know where to wait to possibly meet them. Assuming that they'll be back early next year, I would love to have a chance to...
