Geoff Tate interview (excerpt)

Victoria Frederick: I did get a call earlier from a guy in Miami, and he asked if you guys were ever gonna perform again with Dream Theater or he named another group too that I wasn't familiar with. Are you guys ever going to be doing that?
Geoff Tate: You know, never say never.
VF: You guys do different things than almost anybody I've ever seen! I mean you've done this thing where people get up and sing with you... I mean, promotionally minded, you guys are just way ahead of everybody else. I know that when you had Dream Theater, when you came, you actually did a set with them or actually some music with them which is different.
GT: Yeah, actually that was pretty fun. Both bands got together – 10 people all on stage at the same time, all playing a song – which was sort of like a mini orchestra. That was quite an endeavor really. It took a long time to figure out how to do it technically, because there's a lot of inputs and a lot of technical stuff that I don't understand that our technicians were scratching their heads about and saying, “It's impossible! You can’t possibly do that!” But they ended up doing it anyway, so we got to do that.
