Hi all,

Just wanted to spread the word that the "something very cool and special in store for fans of DT and Opeth" that I mentioned in my last PN08 Blog post is sadly now NOT going to happen.....
The idea turned out to be a little too logistically difficult to pull off so it needed to be blown off...

Oh well....sorry about the tease!!!

Just so not to leave this up for eternal speculation....

We were asked by Roadrunner to do a special unique one-off performance for a few limited fans on one of our days off (in between Albany and Boston to be precise) with a few DT members and a few Opeth members combined to do like a little intimate, unplugged-type performance.

Myself and Mikael had already decided the 6 piece band line-up (3 guys from each band) and picked the songs to play, but in the end it was just too difficult to pull off (logistically, not musically of course)

Now of course, you all want to know the line-up and songs picked....but man, I have to leave SOMETHING to the imagination don't I?????

Yes indeed it would've been VERY cool...but in the end was just too hard to put together because of gear, rehearsals, crew guys, rerouting the tour buses and hotels, etc, etc.

The good news is, Mikael and myself are STILL planning on someday collaborating (along with Steven Wilson)....so it's not like my footnote implied that THAT was no longer happening....
