Why was the CBS Morning Show appearance on Sept. 14, 2002 cancelled?
Mike: I don’t want to make a mountain out of a mole hill but basically they wanted us to do an “unplugged” performance and that’s not what Dream Theater is about. So we decided it would have been a misrepresentation of the Dream Theater style and sound and what makes us unique [since only two members would have been present as opposed to the whole band] so we decided to pass on it. Whoever booked us on to begin with obviously was clueless but we thought we will continue to do things on our own terms and when they feel like coming around and re-inviting us then we will do it.
