Progressive metal legend DREAM THEATER visited the Finnish capital one more time in the context of their Distance Over Time Tour, which is also a celebration of the 20th Anniversary of 1999’s masterpiece “Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory”. Given the fact that this is my favorite album of theirs, I wouldn’t miss the chance to check out how the band is able to recreate its magic two decades later and with a different drummer. Their latest album was also a return to their roots and arguably their best studio effort since Mike Portnoy left the band back in 2010. There are no supporting acts on this tour since the band wants to focus on a longer setlist divided into two acts. With all these things in mind, the stakes were very high for this Friday evening. Check out our live report here.
