    Mike Portnoy's 'Shattered Fortress" at ProgPowerUSA 2017

    Go to 8:40 into the video


    12-Step Suite live, just like the 50th Birthday Bash on Cruise to the Edge, although who is in his band may be different.

    Here's the post from my blog:

    Portnoy was there this weekend checking out Fates Warning, Haken and Devin Townsend. I should have known something was in the works.

    From a Facebook post by old blue-beard himself:


    Mike Portnoy
    Yesterday at 3:14pm


    Very excited to see all of the great feedback upon the announcement of my Shattered Fortress appearance at Prog Power 2017!

    To answer a few questions I've been seeing:

    • This is not "a new band or project", it is "an EVENT" that will be making several select live appearances in select markets throughout 2017

    • The lineup of musicians joining me for these shows will not be announced prior to our live debut at my 50th Birthday Concert on Cruise To The Edge...
    I want that to remain a surprise until our unveiling

    • The setlist at these shows will be comprised of the 12 Step Suite and (time permitting at certain shows) other Dream Theater songs that I've written the lyrics to

    Keep in mind, I have no plans (or interest) in revisiting DT material in any of my other "real" bands...this is not an ongoing "project" or career move...this is merely a unique event that I am doing in select markets in 2017 to share with fans around the world...so catch it while you can!!

    I have a feeling Neal Morse is in the lineup...

    I surely wouldn't bet against that but I suspect it might be a project involving Derek Sherinian.

    As long as Billy Sheehan is not in the band.

    Otherwise they may as well get DLR and do 'Shyboy' or 'Ladies Night in Buffalo' as encores.

    LOL...imagining DLR singing The Root of All Evil.

    From the YT credits, his band was most of Haken.

    Eric Gillette was the primary lead guitarist. And they absolutely crushed it. Sounded heavier with the extra guitars. The all star vocal cast made it even better. Was the highlight of an amazing cruise.

    Also included vocals from Ted Leonard and Daniel Gildenlow, but the bulk was Haken and Eric as mentioned above.

    Never had an overwhelming desire to see this, but it was nice to see the whole set on You Tube. I'm glad Mike knocked it off his bucket list though.
