Tässä vielä portnoyn postaus omalta foorumiltaan..
Hey Gang,
Figured I'd check in and give y'all a mid-summer update of all things MP & DT...
Yes indeed, I have been able to take some time off (DT's first summer off in 10 years...wow!) to squeeze in some much-needed rest & relaxation time with my wonderful wife and children...but as you all know, "all rest & no work makes Mike a bored boy" (or something like that...), so here's some of the activities filling up any of my time away from the pool:
--- After the DT tour ended, I spent the first few months of my "vacation" working on the SCORE CD and DVD (which I directed)...as I'm sure you all now know, they will be released on Aug 29th (date varies in different countries). As I've already stated, the show at Radio City Music Hall was a career highlight for me and this DVD totally does that incredible evening complete justice capturing all of the energy and magic in the air. Also, the 20-year retrospective documentary on the 2nd disc is well worth the price of admission alone as it covers every step of our career through interviews and rare archival footage and serves as the ultimate DT historical piece.
--- Then I did my Who tribute shows which surely lived up to the band's name as it was truly an Amazing Journey! Working with Paul, Billy and Gary was totally awe inspiring and those gigs were some of the most fun I've had in my life....At some point in the future, I will get to work on sorting through the tapes for a DVD/CD release to share this magical musical experience with the rest of the world...
In the meantime, there are limited quantities of AJ shirts available in the online store as a souvenir from these special shows.
--- I am just wrapping up work on the DVD of my Rush tribute show from last year...so in the coming weeks, "Cygnus & The Sea Monsters - One Night In Chicago" will be available on CD and DVD exclusively from the online store here at MP.com.
--- In a few weeks, I will be heading up to Allaire Studios in upstate New York to begin work with Rob Wallis and Paul Seigel on my new Drum Instructional DVD.
The 2 DVD set is going to be packed with footage, information and playing covering everything I have done (in DT and outside of DT) in the 7 years since my last instructional video. The DVD (which will be entitled "In Constant Motion") will hopefully be ready for a late 2006/early 2007 release through Hudson Music.
--- Next month, I will be heading over to Nashville to record Neal Morse's latest Progressive masterpiece...
--- The Gigantour DVD and CD will be out at the end of Aug/beginning of September which contains DT performing "The Glass Prison" and "Panic Attack" filmed in Montreal last year. The bonus footage on the DVD also contains great backstage stuff and should also have our version of "Cemetary Gates" with the special guests (unless Dave changed something from the final version I approved...)
A few DT related projects being done by outside parties that I've been keeping a "watchful eye" over as a consultant are:
--- The String Quartet Tribute to Dream Theater which should be coming out in the fall 2006
--- Rich Wilson's incredibly thorough authorized Dream Theater biography which should be ready for a release in early 2007
--- Finally, DT will reconvene in September to begin work on our next studio album which we can hopefully have ready for a spring/summer 2007 release....
That's all the news that's fit to print....
Enjoy the rest of your summer everyone!

Tunnin verran maistiaisia Score tripla-cd:stä. http://www.mp3.com/albums/20120685/summary.htmlTuossa luvataan, että koko konsertin vois kuunnella, mutta mulla ainakin tulee vain tunnin verran biisejä random järjestyksessä, mutta kuitenkin kokonaisia biisejä mm. The Root of all Evil, Under a glass moon, Innocense faded, Sacrificed sons, Metropolis. Hyvältä kuulostaa meikäläisen mielestä. Ei tehdä elämässä eikä musiikissa lainkaan virheitä. |

Onko joku jo viritellyt Scoren ennakkotilausta, ja mistä kaupasta löytyy halvimmalla? Paras hinta, minkä olen tähän mennessä löytänyt, oli DVDpacificissa, kutakuinkin 18,8e postikulujen jälkeen. Artificialy aged to give the impression of a good, usedinstrument. -Thomann.de |

Suomessa on tosiaan mopo lähtenyt käsistä musa-DVD:iden hinnan suhteen, vaikka tavallisia leffoja saakin jo ihan inhimilliseen hintaan. Täältä voi seurata aika monien verkkokauppojen hintoja: www.dvdpricecheck.co.ukArtificialy aged to give the impression of a good, usedinstrument. -Thomann.de |

Juu, tuli mieleen kitarapalstalta tuttu Michael Romeo -letkautus "soundi lähtee kolmoisleuasta". Mutta so not, kun soitto tuntuu kulkevan loistavasti. Artificialy aged to give the impression of a good, usedinstrument. -Thomann.de |
