On March 22, Dream Theater brought their 40 Anniversary Tour to Radio City Music Hall in New York City. It was the last North American show of their 40th Anniversary tour. The band has shared the recap video below.
A message states: “New York, we had the best of times.
What a night and what a way to end the North American leg of the 40th Anniversary Tour! A big thank you to all who came out and supported us on this tour, it was unbelievably special for all of us and it wouldn’t have been possible without your support. We will be back on the road in the summer with some festival appearances and shows in unique locations / venues. Check dreamtheater.net/tour for all the details!”

Drummer Mike Portnoy shared his thoughts following the show:
“Still recovering and basking in the glow from Saturday’s EPIC evening at Radio City Music Hall…hands down, one of my most favorite shows I’ve EVER played. Absolutely perfect in every respect!
Looking out and seeing a Sold Out Radio City packed with the biggest DT fans in the world all gathered together to celebrate the bands 40th Anniversary together was absolutely magical from start to finish!
And the surprise live debut of ‘The Best Of Times’ (the only song in my original DT discography that had never been played live), joined by Jonathan Dinklage on violin, was the icing on the cake. I honestly could not contain my tears throughout the performance…it was so emotional for me to pay tribute to my dad (who was in the audience when we played RCMH in 2006) in such a glorious way. It was absolutely perfect.
After 5 months of touring Europe, South America and North America, we are taking a couple of months to recover and spend some time at home with our families before we resume touring in June / July for another round in Europe for a combination of metal festivals and some more special DT40 headline shows.”
