On August 7th, New Jersey was infected with the progressive metal bug, as the Progressive Nation tour hit the Convention Hall in Asbury Park. Headlined by prog gods Dream Theater, the tour package also featured Scale The Summit, Bigelf, and Zappa Plays Zappa. Each of these bands put on an exciting show, overcoming the many technical and sound issues that popped up throughout the night.
Check out Dan Marsicano's review of the Progressive Nation show, and his live photos of Dream Theater.

Zappa plays Zappa is a complete and utter disgrace to me. I thought when it was his son doing it, the product might have some merit, but its just awful. I’ve seen cover bands in local pubs to better jobs.
Cool they played “Beyond This Life” (one of my favorite songs)
btw. i like the photo you took of john myung and how he holds his bass.
