DREAM THEATER Perform Tribute To IRON MAIDEN
"DREAM THEATER performed the entire "The Number Of The Beast" album by IRON MAIDEN during the second of a two-night stint at the London Astoria last night (Oct. 21).
The legendary progressive rock heavyweights played the material exactly as per the original album, with the exception of "Gangland", which was done in a jazz style. DT, who feature a sole guitarist in the shape of the very-capable John Petrucci, reproduced the second-guitar parts by having keyboardist Jordan Rudess perform them on the keyboard, including the solos.
Following an intermission in the regular set, DREAM THEATER drummer Mike Portnoy came on stage wearing a MAIDEN shirt, after which the classic "The Number Of The Beast" spoken intro kicked in. "The Number of The Beast" album cover was projected behind the group, but with DREAM THEATER in the style of the IRON MAIDEN logo".
