March 20, 2004 - Cleveland, OH - Dream Theater

I looked carefully at my entire list of shows that I have attended, and I remember the absolute least about this one.

I know that this was the last concert I went to with my buddy Nick.  After this show we drifted apart and he got with this girl that everyone universally hated.

This show was also the final death gasps of my short lived fascination with progressive rock.  I would not attend another 'progressive' show of any kind after this.  Seeing Pearl Jam live the previous year and my growing love for mainstream alternative rock (Modest Mouse, Death Cab, The Shins, Queens of the Stone Age, etc), created some distance in between myself and the highly skilled noodling of bands like Dream Theater.

I do have vague fuzzy memories of being bored at this show.  It just started to lack heart and, going forward, without my buddy Nick in the picture to drive the interest in it, Dream Theater was to fall by the wayside.
