GALLERY: An Evening With JOHN PETRUCCI, MIKE PORTNOY, DAVE LARUE & MEANSTREAK Live at Danforth Music Hall, Toronto

Last week, progressive metal fans in Toronto were treated to a night of top-tier musical entertainment, as the one and only John Petrucci performed a sold-out show at Danforth Music Hall in the home stretch of his North American tour. Best known as the guitarist for the legendary band Dream Theater, with whom he has toured extensively for over three decades, Petrucci had never before embarked on a headlining tour as a solo artist. Petrucci’s incredible instrumental power trio was rounded out by Dave LaRue on bass, and Petrucci’s former Dream Theater bandmate Mike Portnoy on drums. With support from the recently reunited thrash metal band Meanstreak, this tour hit a total of 36 different cities across the United States and Canada from October 5th to November 20th.

Here are some of the epic moments of the evening:
