May 28, 2009, 15 years ago
Russia's Darkside has posted a new interview with DREAM THEATER Keyboardist Jordan Rudess. The following is an excerpt:
Q: Why did it happen that your band has such a long history but hasn't been in Russia so far? And what made it possible now to play in our country?
A: "Well, we've wanted to come to Russia for many years now. It’s pretty far away - this is one thing. And moreover it is a little bit difficult to come to a place where there aren’t a lot of concerts. For example when we go to Europe, when we fly to Europe, we may play some concert, then take a bus and play more concerts, so it is a little bit easier. But still we go to countries where it’s like one or two shows, it’s a little bit harder for our band to come there, because it is so complicated - we have so much equipment, and so many people, and we want to come there and do a real Dream Theater show with the right equipment, and we want to bring everything on stage - so we have to do it right. Finally this year we managed to work it out with our management, and promoters there in Russia the situation that made sense for everybody."
