I was at the one with the drum solo w/ Charlie Benante. Is there anyone who had the honor of being at all 3 shows (Benante, Richard Christy AND Jason Bittner)?

So I was at a show in Wallingford, CT on March 29, 2006 and I was sitting about 13 rows back, and I could see a little camera hovering around Mike the entire time. It seemed that it wasn't showing the footage of that camera on the screens, so after I went to the tourography to see if it said anything about the extra camera, if they were filming for something, and sure enough, it says "The entire Wallingford show was filmed by Hudson Music for a new, upcoming MP instructional video" Now whether or not the whole show is on there remains to be seen. However, he did do a drum duet with Jason Bittner of Shadow's Fall, so the will def. be on there. Here's the setlist for everyone, enjoy!

In the Name of God outro (intro tape)
1.  The Root of All Evil
2.  Another Won
3.  Afterlife
4.  Pull Me Under
5.  The Mirror
6.  Lie
7.  Speak to Me
8.  Home/
9.  drum solo/drum duet with Jason Bittner (Shadows Fall)
~~~intermission~~~
10.  The Glass Prison
11.  This Dying Soul
12.  Never Enough
13.  Octavarium
~~~encore~~~
14.  Metropolis pt 1

BTW, if "Speak To Me" is on the DVD, you might be able to hear me... when James introduced it, I was literally the only guy around me (and I was close to the front) who made any noise, and I was screaming my head off. Apparently no a whole lot of people in CT know this song, but I love it!

Another fun fact about this show is that James forgot the lyrics to "Home" at one point... wicked funny!

OK that was my first post, later dooders!

Yup, I was at that show as well. It was an amazing show and I'd love for the whole thing to be on there, but I doubt that the whole show will be on there, even if it is 5 hours long.

I'll most likely buy this DVD!

I'm not much of a student of the drums anymore (been playing 25 years or so and have many other things in life that compete for my time), but in a few-year span, I got the instructional vids for Neil Peart, Carter Beauford and Mike, and MP's was the ONLY one that I actually got something out of, which was his use of double bass.

The way he slowed things down in real time on the DVD, as opposed to the slow-mo video of Neil and (I think) Carter, made learning some of what Mike does possible - it's now part of my toolbox.

Great to hear you have another coming out, Mike. I'm there!

Presuming there's a dedicated studio shoot like in LDT, I hope it's at the same place. Beartracks I think? I guess it's only a minor detail, but the atmosphere in that place is cool.

Beartracks has or is close to closing its doors.
