I was so excited going to Dream Theater's concert in their US Tour in 2000. By coincidence, Spock's Beard were there playing the guest band role! I was charmed by their unity as a band! Their former Singer Neal Morse made a huge mistake leaving them. The Multi-Talented Nick D'Virigilio Has done some real excellent job by filling in this gap through singing and songwriting.

  • Eye In The Sky (1982)
  • Master Hits (1999)
