Grant Moon: First prog record you bought?
Dan Briggs: Dream Theater’s Scenes From A Memory was my first, full-on “I’m buying a prog record!” record. Got it in Pittsburgh.
GM: First prog gig attended?
DB: Dream Theater really were the big gateway band for me. I saw them on their Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence tour [2002]. I think it was in Cleveland.

GM: Most important prog song?
DB: I can still put on Dream Theater’s ‘Change Of Seasons’ and get something out of it. It’s a great lesson for how to make a long song not feel so long.
