Mikael Akerfeldt comments

Akerfeldt had the following to say regarding his Dream Theater guest appearance: “I did a little guest spot with Dream Theater on the second New York City show. Sang a verse and a chorus for the song ‘Repentence’, which is an awesome song. Thing is when I got on stage my mic was switched off and the crowd could enjoy me singing without hearing a word. The Port and the rest of the Dream Theater guys played it over again so I could sing it with sound as well. I was literally dying up there! How embarrassing... yet, it was great fun and at least I got to sing it in the end. Great cheers for me too, which I appreciate, of course.”

Mikael added, “Axe and the other drummers did a drum solo with the Port on the first night which was a gas! We got it all on film, as well as my own ‘performance’... might make it available sometime... or maybe not!”
