Dream Theater Tickets

Animals and Leaders made many new fans. Devin blew the f'n roof off. Flawless hour by him. One of the best live performances I have witnessed. Can't believe a voice can do that. And hey - the band he had with them were great as well. They all looked like they were having a blast and it translated into the music. On to Dream Theater. As always, these guys deliver...on the instrumentation level. But, and it pains me to write this...James voice was not up to par here. Maybe it was an off night. Maybe it was a case of "getting older."But it brought the overall score of the band down. And that hurts. Myung was a demon, ruddess is the best in the world. And MM on the drums is making people forget about Portnoy (if that is even possible for this fanbase.) That brings us to John Petrucci. The man was soaring! His tone was to die for, whether it be chunky riffs or magnetic leads. Many people were here to see him alone. Reminded me of how people would see Van Halen just to see what Eddie was going to do. He is a guitar God superstar and we are spoiled to be able to hear him play live. Overall Dream Theater was a 3.5/5. And that score is soley based to the vocals. I've seen this band many times and I've never heard Labrie like that. He had great moments too, but when his voice faltered, it was too noticeable. Hopefully he and the boys sort it out. Because those brief moments when you heard Devy singing DT lyrics...oh man. If only. It's the elephant in the room now. Had to be said. In any case...always a gift to see Dream Theater. Till next time

Was really looking forward to this (Specifically Dream Theater). Unfortunately left very disappointed: 1. Poor sound: I am ok with loud sound, as long it is well mixed. Unfortunately the sound mix got worse the longer the concert went on. Bass drum and bass got more and more overpowering, resulting in a consistent hum, and as those got louder, guitar got louder, snare got louder, until everything was way too loud. As a keyboarder, I was looking forward to hearing Jordan Rudess, but his keyboards completely got buried apart from a few solos or where no drum or bass was played. 2. Poor vocals: Looked like James' voice was gone from the beginning. I admire that he pushed through it, but re-scheduling the concert to provide a memorable experience would have been better.

Title says it all: Labrie should have retired 10 years ago.

They still rock, but they could have played more of the awesome songs from Awake, Falling into Infinity or even "Another Day".

I love DT, and have been following them for almost 20 years. I have been to almost every concert they played in Argentina , and this was my first time in Canada. They are DT, so expectations are always high. But... They didn't sound very well. I think every instrument was just too loud so it was difficult to figure out what you were listening to. I don't know if it might have been due to the venue? But the previous band (David Townsend) sounded amazing.

First, Animals as Leaders has a new fan. Loved what they did! Second, Townsend's songs were all the same. Not a fan. Third, DT rocked hard! Loved it, but have to say that James LaBrie has lost his vocal range now. He was not at all what I expected. So, a let down there. I think they should have played more instrumental songs and has him sing to a minimum. And DT should drop Townsend and play a longer set. DT was too short. For a band with long songs, they might have stayed out longer.

Amazing show as usual, they always deliver high quality music

This is the 4th time I've seen Dream Theater but have to say I left feeling disappointed. James LaBrie was off. First thing when he came out he dropped the mic and it went flying and he had a tough time hitting the notes. It felt like he didn't want to be there. He mentioned that the last time he was in Vancouver, it was 2010 but nope, the shirt I was wearing said 2014 on it! The band was fantastic... Now, Devin Townsend on the otherhand was amazing! I have never seen him and was so impressed. He connected with the audience, told some jokes and was so good vocally and musically! A+ for him!

Dream theatre was incredible. Master piece of musicianship and sound was best I have ever heard. And I have seen probably 500 bands. 10 out of 10. So pumped dude. Favourite band

4.5/5 Stars! Absolutely amazing concert, all 3 acts are impeccable. Animals as Leaders is an absolute beast of a prog metal band, by far the heaviest set of the 3. Devin Townsend…it’s fuckin Devin Townsend, enough said. Such a great setlist & very good at crowd interaction. Then there was Dream Theatre, what can you say about them that hasn’t been said already. Glad I finally got to see them live, can finally cross them off the bucket list. Only complaints that I could have was not enough back & forth battles between the band members, the setlist was a tad on the short side (roughly 90 mins) & personally I was hoping for a longer, more elaborate band jam at the end. With all the talent on stage I had my fingers crossed to witness a finish from the pages of g3 which petrucci has been a part of. Those few things would’ve set it off to a 5-star show imo but pretty minor things to complain about. Would absolutely go again & will definitely be keeping an eye open for the return of any of these bands

Every band was fantastic! All the sets were right on time, sound was great, had a perfect view from the first balcony. Would definitely recommend!

Third time seeing Dream Theater First time seeing Animals As Leaders and Devin Townsend. Firm fan now Will see them again

Unbelievable to see 3 master of their craft bands at the same time Best ever

Friendly staff at the concessions, and the venue was beautiful.

Set started with three new songs (The Alien, Answering the call, Sleeping Giant) but then went back to Awake (Caught in a web). Understandably, James didn't try to run his voice by transposing the screaming section. Big surprise when they switched to 6DOIT and played the last three songs of side 2. Pull me under was part of the set, of course and sounded fantastic, like the rest. JP's guitar sounded heavenly again. After the show I waited outside near the buses for the band and with some patience got to meet James and Mike (who chatted with us for almost half an hour!) It took until 1:30 AM for JP to come out and he was so kind as to come over, pose for pictures and even sign my Majesty guitar! This made everyone's day!

All 3 bands were spectacular! Really wanted to see Dream Theater live in forever. They did not dissapoint, best performance I’ve have the pleasure to witness in my entire life. Loved it! Will forever think back and remember this awesome night! Thank you for making a dream come true and can only hope to see you live again in the future!

Grew up listening to Dream Theater, Scenes from a Memory, Train of Thought, Octavarium and now, A view from the top of the world, are for sure my favourites. Being born in South America, my chance to ever see them LIVE were close to none. Fast foward 20 years and by some struck of luck they decided to play in my town. A Small intimate venue, I'm sure they would've probably liked to play in the arena, but the sound was PERFECT (unlike other concerts I've been to) and the performance, best one I have ever had the pleasure to witness. Thank you for making one of my dreams come true. Will forever cherish this memory, the merch I got, lol, and can only hope to be able to see them again in the future. You could tell they still have it, the magic was still there, they truly love to perform! Thank you again!

Love Dream Theatre since 1991, never dated always impressive and unique in their crafts.

I had never listened to the music by Animals as Leaders or Devin Townsend before they were both a great surprise and I will be adding them to my playlist. Dream Theater was simply amazing! The show left everyone feeling uplifted and inspired… what an awesome band and a wonderful show!!

Great show all around. Liked the 3 band format. Excellent venue.
