He admits that he started liking Dream Theater since 2003. "I came from Palembang by bus, because it was cheaper. The trip was one day. I stayed in Solo since Monday, August 8, planning to return to Palembang tomorrow," he said.

As the second song, James Labrie performed a song titled 6.00, consecutively Awaken the Master, Bridges in the Sky, Endless Sacrifice, Invisible Monster, About to Crash, The Ministry of Lost Souls, A View From the Top of the World, and The Count of Tuscany.
