| Tech Notes | I've contemplated whether I should give the short version of a review being "This is mind blowing", or the long version. In the expected Dream Theater fashion, as has been most of the tour, the band opens with As I Am. Not only is there a lot of energy showing at the start of this song, but "Ass & Balls" makes it's appearance during the song. They quickly go into This Dying Soul and then Beyond This Life from SFAM with the improv section, which is completely 'on' this night. Following this, they play Hollow Years with the extended guitar solo. No matter how many shows I have heard from this tour with Dream Theater playing Hollow Years, I just can't get enough. When James LaBrie shouts out 'John Petrucci' during his extended solo, the goose bumps arise, and tonight was no different. Once again, the song selection was perfect, showcasing songs from all Dream Theater releases including 'Only A Matter of Time'. The band was on tonight and the fans made it known on this recording. From conversation that is audible in the recording to the 'I love you' shouts in the crowd, it was a night to remember for those in Washington DC. On the technical side of things on this recording. Flawless. A solid recording with stellar remastering. All frequencies are well-balanced in this recording with crisp highs and thumping lows. This show is a good test for that new entertainment system. There are no anomalies found in this recording. Based on a grading curve to other bootlegs in my collection, this is easy - solid A. 681cde896ed526bde2fbf2381d297bf7 *dt20040329-d101.shn 7e5b74462e72042da4f1cc29e47d1dcc *dt20040329-d102.shn 6cfed0a4698f110b6017d7102eed47c4 *dt20040329-d103.shn 4f0e282c153da77e7c7f908c1ff86893 *dt20040329-d104.shn 51ab17972ac5205c253845f8e0179a5e *dt20040329-d105.shn b26bbf465ce13767637ea4b4b552d99f *dt20040329-d106.shn 7ada38c5c91938858391efb472deaa92 *dt20040329-d107.shn a21d05db9ae6e42479e485b64bcdf05d *dt20040329-d108.shn 3045723da99529b8faf1b0c733fd2e34 *dt20040329-d201.shn d347977f3a859e02e212fd328551fba1 *dt20040329-d202.shn 30e78d16e5c06d9261cc11ae212f2cbb *dt20040329-d203.shn c15072166f4aa95225706e74481b4f71 *dt20040329-d204.shn e97b63add0ba4e0f480dfe4fd7f03b6c *dt20040329-d205.shn 86ea9ee22d5a4447bae02c898311ffc0 *dt20040329-d206.shn 207b740d9f50ddefc39228c0dfd6b9dd *dt20040329-d207.shn 496d000c0db1688af16b7bdec7860f35 *dt20040329-d208.shn |
