"It's pretty amazing to be in the kind of industry that we are and to say that we've been around for thirty years and we're still relevant today," LaBrie said. "You know, the fact is that we still feel that we're evolving as a band. We're continuing to grow musically, and we see that our audience and our fan base is continually being cultivated. So, just to be in a situation as that says so much. It's so much to be grateful for."
