Danke Ragna! Vielleicht ist die Lösungscode ein bißchen zu lang... aber weil es einen speziellen Geschenk war... ich dachte damals es war OK :-D

Gebe mich hiermit auch als Dreamtheater-Fan zu erkennen!
Zum Rätsel habe ich die "once upon a LIVEtime" eingelegt, da ging es wie von selbst ;-)
Nur schade, dass mein Favorit "A fortune in lies" in der Liste fehlt ;-)
@ geibthor: Am liebsten hatte ich auch noch einige andere Favoriten in der Liste... "Panic Attack" und "The spirit carries on"... doch dann war es zu einfach dachte ich :-)))

Well... actually I gave it two stars because I think the "average" of the entire puzzle is two stars.
I'm aware of the very hard first part but I also know that after the first part it is rather easy to find the rest of the values...
But.. it is solvable in a logic way according to the five puzzlers who already did find the correct answer!
Good luck to you all...
Regards,
Arvid a.k.a. Eisbär

Well, the two stars are correct. If you have already found the first 22 letters... :-)))

Tried it during lunch break because it had only two stars. But I'm totally stuck...

Wow!
That was a heavy puzzle! Very nice logic built up. I wonder how hard an ABC'tje can get. This will be about the limit...

Ich wußte, der Titel kommt mir bekannt vor :-)

Eine kleine "Korrektur":
Eigentlich ist der Song "Stargazer" nicht einen originalen DT-Song, sondern einen Song von alten Rockers Rainbow. DT hatte der Cover-Version gespielt auf das letzten Album "Black Clouds and Silver Linings".
Ich brauchte nur einen Song mit einen "Z" drinnen :-)))

Thanks a lot Arvid!
I became a 'silent man' myself for a while..
@ Richard: You're welcome! I'm not silent: at this moment inside me there is some degree of inner turbulence :-D
