MIKE PORTNOY's THE BEATLES Cover Band Plays New York City (Video)

March 3, 2011

After having had such a fun experience the first time around in 2003, drummer Mike Portnoy (ex-DREAM THEATER),guitarist Paul Gilbert (RACER X, MR. BIG) and guitarist/keyboardist Neal Morse (ex-SPOCK'S BEARD) reunited as YELLOW MATTER CUSTARD late last month to once again pay tribute to their greatest influence of all: THE BEATLES!

Due to a scheduling conflict (and further fueling the "Paul is dead" rumours),original YELLOW MATTER CUSTARD bassist Matt Bissonette was unable to join the band this time and was replaced by UTOPIA legend Kasim Sulton.
