LIQUID TENSION EXPERIMENT
Mike Portnoy - John Petrucci - Jordan Rudess - Tony Levin
10th ANNIVERSARY REUNION TOUR
In 1998 and 1999, Liquid Tension Experiment released two instrumental
albums that set the prog world on fire. The project featured Dream
Theater's Mike Portnoy & John Petrucci on drums & guitar
(respectively), virtuoso keyboardist Jordan Rudess and bass legend Tony
Levin.
After the success of the two albums and the project's undeniable
chemistry, Rudess was asked to join Dream Theater full-time and the
project was put on the shelf for an indefinite hiatis.... until now!
Back together for a select number of US dates, the quartet is reuniting
to revisit the magical music they created 10 years ago and tap back
into their chemistry for a whole new musical experiment!

Liquid Tension Experiment to headine Saturday night in 2008
"We are very pleased to announce the Saturday night headliner for NEARfest X � Liquid Tension Experiment!
The supergroup consisting of Mike Portnoy, John Petrucci, Jordan Rudess and Tony Levin are reconvening
and preparing to tear the roof off of Zoellner Arts Center next June. Portnoy and Petrucci are founding
members of progressive metal's 5-headed monster, Dream Theater, and have won accolades from fans and
critics alike for their prowess on the drum kit and guitar, respectively. Rudess is was previously
known for his blazing keyboard work with the Dixie Dregs and the Rudess/Morgenstein Project and joined
Dream Theater officially after the second Liquid Tension Experiment album sessions. Tony Levin needs
no introduction � Stick and bass maestro, two-time NEARfest alum, and played with everyone from King
Crimson to Peter Gabriel to Yes to Sarah McLachlan. Liquid Tension Experiment's two studio albums,
Liquid Tension Experiment (1998) and Liquid
Tension Experiment 2 (1999), are filled to the brim with everything from blazing, chops-laden sonic attacks
("Paradigm Shift") to melodic anthems ("When the Water Breaks") to humorous jams ("Chris
and Kevin's Excellent Adventure"). The improvisational nature in the writing sessions permitted the band to
stretch out to many different influences, including rock, metal, prog, funk, blues and even ragtime. It is a great
honor to host this ensemble of legendary, virtuoso players on the NEARfest stage for our 10th anniversary."
