News1 min read
Prog cover stars to bring Metropolis Pt 2 back to the stage. Dream Theater return to the UK and Europe from next January to perform their groundbreaking fifth album in full. The first half of An Evening With Dream Theater will concentrate on Distance Over Time, and the second will focus on Metropolis Pt 2: Scenes From A Memory with a new animated video featuring the characters, plot and storyline.
"There have been some staple songs that we've played fairly regularly throughout the years, such as ‘The Spirit Carries On’ or ‘The Dance Of Eternity’,” guitarist John Petrucci tells Prog. "It's the ones that we haven't had a chance to perform live until now, such as ‘Beyond This Life’, ‘Through Her Eyes’ and ‘Fatal Tragedy’, that we're most looking forward to playing again. The fact that they're some of the more story-driven songs on the album makes them very enjoyable to perform in front of a live audience!'
