So is the progressive nation tour the only touring they will be doing in Europe? It looks like it from those dates.. :sadpanda:

Well these are the only dates announced so far. But I suspect (and hope) that they will do a headlining leg (i.e one opening act) next year.

That has been pretty much confirmed. I think Portnoy said it would be a springtime run through the states with either one or two opening acts.

Yeah, for the US definitely, but I was talking about Europe, which is slightly less certain. It depends if the band wants to keep the 'an album every two years' routine. But you never know, they did three European legs in 2002.
Title: Re: The Dream Theater Tour Dates & Setlists Thread (UPDATED 05/04)
Post by: Nick on April 27, 2009, 08:04:24 AM
Oh, sorry. Yeah, it's a big question. Normally lately they've been doing two legs, one that's festivals and some off dates and then a major headlining tour. Now instead of the latter they are doing ProgNation, so it will be interesting to see if that's it or if Europe gets a third leg.

I will make this deal. I'm planning on seeing about 3 shows on the tour, you get your ass up to this area and I'll make sure you get to all the shows with me and you have a place to stay between them.

Summer US dates??????

Yes plz.

A lot of people (especially over at MP.com) have been wondering when these dates will arrive. People needed to plan their vacation for the summer, and now they're praying that their particular PN dates don't mess with their new vacation dates.

Personally, I want them to come near Philly this time around. Though I would happily head to NY if it came down to it

So basically, east coast, west coast, canada and a few spot shows in the middle?

Weak.

What's weaker? The closest show is chicago, which is on a day of school that I can't miss.

So I am actually considering dropping the class so that I can attend this.

Damn you gildenlow for making me want to see your band so much!

If I drop my class to see this show, and PoS get 30 minutes to play, I might explode in rage and fury.

No, there are more PROGNATION tour dates coming, give it a week or two.

Do you think they'kk just fill in that one week gap between the 4th and 11th, or do you think there's a chance they'll swing back east after LA.. I know..wishful thinking!

There won't be any Michigan dates, so the closest thing is Chicago.  The drive would be worth it if it was just Dream Theater, but too much of an effort to see a bunch of bands I don't like.

I've actually written down setlists only a few times. These days, with the internet and posted setlists, it's really not necessary.

Quote from: Portnoy
It's looking like this *may* be all the dates....
 
I wish we could play everywhere, but there are many variables that make it impossible...
 
I must go on record and let you all know that I have been FIGHTING for shows specifically in Houston, Dallas and Phoenix...really, I've been totally pullin for em...but its just not looking good....
 
Frankly, the promoter's offers in those markets are not very good and for us to stay out those few extra 3 or 4 days at the end will put us in the red (we have to pay *alot* of overhead to make Progressive Nation happen.....the 3 extra bands, extra crew, catering, stage and venue time, etc. all comes from DT's pay)

So I made my manager and agent *promise* me if we can't swing it this time, it will happen regardless of the expense, when we do another US run in the spring....

I agree.  I wish more people would realize that they don't just neglect or avoid places.

Quote from: Portnoy
It's looking like this *may* be all the dates....
 
I wish we could play everywhere, but there are many variables that make it impossible...
 
I must go on record and let you all know that I have been FIGHTING for shows specifically in Houston, Dallas and Phoenix...really, I've been totally pullin for em...but its just not looking good....
 
So I made my manager and agent *promise* me if we can't swing it this time, it will happen regardless of the expense, when we do another US run in the spring....

MP

Crap...looks like a trip to Vegas is in order for this one. :censored  At least he's saying they'll do Phoenix in the spring.

Unfortunately, Frost* has had to pull out of 2 European shows in June: the 18th in Lisbon, POR and the 23rd in Munich, GER. They will still appear at the 2 UK shows earlier in the month.

Neal Morse will now be DT's Special Guest at the June 23rd Munich show.

Opening act replacement for the Lisbon show is still TBC.

It's 12 past 8 in the morning now. Knowing that it's a festival could mean that they play early, but since DT is usually a main act, the chance is big we'd have to wait for another 12hours+

Unless it can pack away well, something like an elephant is a bit big to haul around on tour. All of their other props like the street sign and the street light all packed away pretty well, but an elephant is a bit much I think :lol

So far, Voices, the Glass Prison, and Metropolis.

By all accounts an amazing 3 song setlist.  But what will the rest yield?

Edit:  Actually, I bet Metropolis was part of a medley.  Seeing as that version was identical to the "jam" version on the PN08 tour last year.  Metropolis / LtL / Crimson Sunset again?

They've played BTL a total of 11 times since the SFAM tour. It's never been a regular in the set since the tour for that album, and there's not even an indication that's the case now. So it's been "shelved" enough. Home however has been played literally 100 times or so since the SFAM tour, played to death between the SDOIT, Octavarium and SC tour. Just because you don't like BTL doesn't mean it's been played to death.

edit: I meant 11 times since the ToT tour, not the SFAM tour. Home has been played at least 60-70 times in that same time.

Thank yoyu Blob.

But I guess you've miscounted, I can think of more than 11 occasions it has been played in the ToT tour alone.
Did you count 'Beyond This Life' only? Or did you cound the 'Beyond This Life (With Zappa Jam)' too?

They've played BTL a total of 11 times since the SFAM tour. It's never been a regular in the set since the tourfor that album, and there's not even an indication that's the case now. So it's been "shelved" enough. Home however has been played literally 100 times or so since the SFAM tour, played to death between the SDOIT, Octavarium and SC tour. Just because you don't like BTL doesn't mean it's been played to death.
Count again, Blob.

Oops, I counted right, but I meant since the ToT tour, not the SFAM tour. So it's only been 11 times on the last 2 tours, whereas Home on the same two tours has been significantly more. So it's been played a lot more recently either way.

Also, Home and Fatal Tragedy have been played in Europe more recently than BtL. We didn't get that at all last tour like the US and Australia did. I really hope they play it on Saturday.

I'm glad we got Overture > Fatal Tragedy here in Australia. Was a good chunk of the album to get to make up for previous tours. I'd enjoy seeing BTL this tour if/when they come back though. I doubt they'd repeat any songs from last time though, so chances are good we might. I think most of the Asian and Australian shows got that same section of SFAM.

Erotomania & Voices combo again is excellent.  Interesting that this might mean they'll bring back Caught in a Web, Hollow Years and Solitary Shell, all of which I don't think I have too much of a problem seeing live.  I'd be perfectly fine seeing them open with ITPOE pt. 1.  Great setlist even if there was no Glass Prison.

Since they didn't play Repentance live last tour (with the one exception), I wouldn't expect any of the AA saga unless they're going to play it as a whole, which I also don't expect often. Maybe they'll play them all leading up to playing them for a DVD though. I'm just basing this on what they did for the leadup to SCORE when they played sections of SDOIT ready to play it whole.

Kind of surprised they played a lot of songs  that were played on the last leg of last year's tour.  I can only assume its going to be changed up big time when the album is released and they come back to the states.

Overall, I'd say that its still a pretty awesome setlist.  Just not one I'd want to see since they played a lot of those songs last year in NYC.

That is how Bebot should sound. Over a softer song, Bebot can sound good. I got worried when I heard he was playing Bebot in Solitary Shell, but that fitted perfectly.

But that's part of what makes live shows so special.  Yes they dragged a 5/6 minute song into 9 minutes, but all the added stuff was a great inclusion for the song in a live setting.  If a band just reproduced songs exactly like they were on the album, it kinda ruins the point of being live.  Excitement, crowd participation, and slightly tweaked arrangements/tempos make live concerts and live albums (the middle one DT really needs to work on when mixing live albums).  Putting this version of SS on a DVD would be fantastic.

I've seen US crowds do it at Maiden shows during "Fear Of The Dark", but I think they're copying from the live version of FOTD which has been on a couple of albums.

As for the DT setlist - very cool. I'm in the minority who loves BTL so that made me happy, but Erotomania/Voices is even better. I hope they keep that for NA PN09.

1.  This program is really COOL and fun to play around with.

2.  JR IS the wizard to make the sounds (music) he does with this thing.  His video on YouTube showing the different things the Bebot can do is simply amazing!

Glad to hear he is playing around with it on the PN09 tour.

I'd expect NA to see songs like Hollow Years, Solitary Shell, Caught in a Web.  I doubt NA will see Beyond This Life, Voices, Erotomania, and ITPOE often or at all because they were played frequently last time around.  So I'd say mostly different.

It should be slightly longer. Moscow was a headlining show opposed to Sweden, which was a festival.

I'm assuming Hollow Years was extended, and that Metropolis wasn't played in full with snippits of the other two in the middle, but is instead the Metropolis/Learning to Live/Crimson Sunset medley they played on Prognation.

I think we should note that this was their first show in Russia, so songs like Pull Me Under, As I Am and The Spirit Carries On won't be as common in places where they've been played a lot before.

Fully agreed. The demo version is so much more heartfelt. It just has that sort of atmosphere that the studio version couldn't capture well.

I am surprised the set list is so similar to the last years PN.  I assume this is only because they didn't release the new album and they didn't play these songs in Europe last year and that the set list will change a lot when PN comes to the U.S.A.?

Hell yeah. His pitch is great, and he's trying for the notes spot on rather than using vibrato, except when it's necessary, and it's not too wide. Sounding the best I've heard him for a long time.

Thanks for putting that together cyber, posting from my blackberry so would have been an arse for me to do it! :D

But yeah I REALLY enjoyed the set. Even the songs that aren't all that amazing on the albums are just great live songs. Plus I was so happy to see Misunderstood as I've never seen it live before, and I love it!

The intri was a fast quirky piece of music before the lights went down (I think the same one as last tour befor Also Sprach Zarathustra) followed by their usual intro tape going through a bunch of songs chronologically before going straight into ITPOE. Heard it before but it works well :tup

Frost were marvellous as ever! Not the slickest live band as they don't play often enough, but still pretty tight and played with a lot of energy. Original drummer is playing these two gigs (and he rocks) and their new bassist is good. And Jem is always a good laugh on stage! :D

Setlist was:

Hyperventilate
Welcome to Nowhere
Pocket Sun
Dear Dead Days (was so glad they played this as they didn't at their christmas gig!)
Black Light Macine
The Other Me

first ever DT gig for me.. loved it..
Enjoyed ITPOE, misunderstood(!), hollow years, voices, solitary shell most I reckon (although the people around me were only going wild for systematic chaos).

James decided to sing a rite of passage like the single version, oops. But yeah, I thought he was on fire with the voice, hit some pretty good long high ones.

I hate Forsaken and Constant Motion passionately and I don't care for Hollow Years much either. Misunderstood was a very pleasant surprise.
Highlight of the set for me was definately Beyond This Life.

That's a great set for the last two nights. And a damn good set from Frost* on the 12th. Anyone know their set from the the 13th show, too? I wouldn't doubt it being the same, but just thought I'd ask.

Frost* really needs to get their asses over to the U.S.

Does anyone know why they weren't able to do PN09? They were originally asked before Beardfish.

Frost played at least one show in the US recently! In fact, they're going to be releasing a live album of the Philly show, and I am now in possession of a cd that has 8 tracks from it (they were selling it at the gig!) :D

The main melody of the chorus actually isn't the one that goes higher, it's one of the backups. It just happens to be fairly dominant on the recording. I think MP is singing the higher bit live.

Well, we've only seen it on the two "first time" dates.  My inkling is that MP thinks, rightfully, that it is a fairly popular DT song (thanks in part, no doubt, to Rock Band) and deserves to be played to fans on a first visit to that country.  Also, it helps that it's short because it fits well into a "cover the bases" type of setlist.

Also it's a good live song.

This to the extreme.  This and Never Enough got played too much on the last tour.  C'mon MP, where's These Walls?  Just because you have a song in Rock Band doesn't mean you play it every night, or else we'd be seeing a LOT more PMU.

True, once in Moscow (1st time), once for DL, and once for the first show of the tour.  Those, at least to me, are more like special occasions.  I really just want to see These Walls after seeing a majority of SC tour setlists contain Panic Attack.

Although These Walls is the song from Octavarium that got the least play thus far, and it's the song from the last... 3 or 4 albums that I've not seen live that I want to, that's not really my beef, it's just that Panic Attack gets overplayed. I think it's the only song that got played starting on Gigantour, and on every leg through the Octavarium and Chaos tours.

Yet another outing for Panic Attack? As far as stuff from Octavarium it's way overplayed, and I really hope this is the last leg we see it on. It's not that I dislike it or favor all the other songs over it, it's just that it has gotten an uneven amount of play.

Panic Attack is the least of my worries. If they keep playing Constant Motion even after the new stuff is in, I'm going to be one  :sadpanda:

They only has a 50 minute time slot, and I think they actually played for 46-47.
They played very early?

I just checked the tourography, and the only leg that didn't get Panic Attack was the 5 show Asian leg on the Octavarium tour. Every other leg including the start of the European festivals in support of Octavarium have gotten the song in varying doses.

I think that one got played at Score, that show where they played all of Octavarium, and maybe one more.

Not complaining, mind.

Really? I thought I remember TALW being commonplace on the main American leg of the Octavarium tour, perhaps not. Either way, These Walls needs more play.

Nope Jamiroquay is right. There was definitely those two shows (Score and Romavarium) but I think that was it, though there might have been one more.

The Answer Lies Within was only played twice to my recollection.  I saw them play it in Anaheim.  These Walls was played a bunch of times.  I saw it twice at back to back shows:  Los Angeles and San Francisco.  JP's silhoutte bass did not come across well on this song, very muddy.  Good song though.

The Answer Lies Within was only played a handful of times, and rightfully so.  It was a total waste of time at Score.  These Walls should be played more.

Post by: BlobVanDam on June 18, 2009, 05:36:56 AM
TALW was only played because they had the orchestra, so they played that song on the DVD while it could sound it's best. But These Walls deserves a lot more play than it gets. Incredible song, and a much better live song than TALW.

I thought that Score was handicapped by doing ye old "going into the future" set list.  Because starting the orchestra at Six Degrees meant they had to put in songs like TALW and Sacrificed Sons that I thought dragged down the set list a lot, especially compared to the godly first set.

Both of those songs are pretty cool, especially the epic feel of Sacrificed Sons.

I think the Score setlist has taken a beating since the day after the concert. I tended to agree, but after watching the second half of the show last week, I'd say that those folks were damn lucky to get that setlist.
Title: Re: The Dream Theater Tour Dates & Setlists Thread (UPDATED 05/04)
Post by: Jamariquay on June 18, 2009, 12:41:25 PM
My only complaint with the Score setlist is the fact that the (11pm?) RCMH curfew somewhat limited the number of songs that could be played in the first place. IE, I have no issue with the songs that were played, I just wish that Peruvian Skies or Caught In A Web could have made the cut as well.

Constant Motion is glorious, and would be welcome to my ears at ANY show.  But that being said, since it is so similar in structure to AROP, it makes sense to me that it would be left off where that one is being played.

That's true. It was my 3rd DT concert, but it was THE BEST. Great, great show!
Definitely worth travelling alone almost 300km one way  :facepalm:

Doubt it. They were playing Erotomania/Voices a lot at the end of the last tour, and all they've done is throw in one more. There won't be any commemorating Awake. It just isn't the landmark album that there other occasions were.

Not true, I've been a fan of DT since 1989 when I saw them open for Marillion back in my senior year of high school. 20 years ago! Here is a different perspective.... My buddy and I went to the record store the next day and bought 'WDADU', we were blown away. You have to understand back then there was nothing like DT. Maybe Queensryche. Bands like Rush were still doing the 80's synth stuff... However DT vanished after that, of course we didn't know Charlie was out, there was no internet back then, lol.

I forgot about DT until my senior year of college when I heard 'Pull Me Under' on the radio, you have to understand back then that song was EVERYWHERE. If you went to a record store there were cassette singles of PMU and Another Day, lol. Saw DT at the Manhattan Center in NYC the summer after I graduated college and was blown away. 

Around Sept 1994 the radio stations started playing 'Lie' a lot! I mean that song was very popular and MTV and VH1 even showed the video ! When 'Awake' came out I was a first day buyer as I have been with every DT album since. 

'Awake' did very well, in fact it is the best selling DT album since Images & Words, I think it moved around 250,000 copies or so. But remember back then we actually had to get our asses to the record store and buy it. There was no downloading. The radio station also played 'The Silent Man', and 'Caught in a Web' here and there. Can you imagine? 3 new DT songs being played on your local rock station? Never will happen in 2009.

But in 1994 DT were still riding the success from I & W. Saw the show for Awake in NYC in October 1994, great gig but was surpised Kevin Moore was gone! Again, there was no Internet to speak of, he was on the linear notes of the album but the first time I found out he had left was at the concert! 

That's how it was back then, most rock/metal news came from the 'Metal Wire' section of Metal Edge magazine, and it was usually 2 months old, lol.

If you went into any record store back then you would also find the singles for 'Lie' and 'The Silent Man'. Trust me, back in 1994 'Awake' was a pretty big album, and it would behoove DT to commemorate it this fall at the 15 year mark. I can't believe that show I first saw them was 20 years ago.

Enjoy your youth, because it's gone before you know it!

Anyway I have seen every DT tour multiple times, have met them a few times, and have bought every CD (not Mp3) on the release date. They have never let me down, and the only time that I wondered if they were going to fold was when 'Falling Into Infinity' came out.

When they put out 'Scenes from a Memory' I knew DT were in it for the long haul. I still can't believe they have 10 albums out. 'Awake' will always be the 'new' DT album to me, lol.

I'm 37, married, in  a PhD program, accomplished a lot since I was that kid in high school who really didn't want to see Marillion but got dragged along. Instead I got introduced to the most amazing band of all time.

And every girlfriend I've had, including my wife, has hated them.  :metal

I think you missed my point, and this is the part of that post that related to my point. Awake was not a landmark album. It was successful yes, but it didn't do anything that Images and Words hadn't already set up and achieved greater. It didn't sell anywhere near what IaW did, and none of the singles did as well as PMU. It has stood the test of time as one of the higher ranked DT albums, but it wasn't a "landmark" for them.
I enjoyed the story though :tup Great that we still have so many long time fans here

Great story. And a lot like my DT-life. The differences are that I live in the Netherlands so I didn't attend the (pre)WDADU shows and didn't hear the DT-tracks on the radio. Oh, and my wifes loves DT. She didn't join me to the Gelsenkirchen and Graspop shows but will go with me to the Dusseldorf and/or Rotterdam PN show.

Hey when they start announcing dates for their North American tour next spring what are the chances of a show in Seattle? I'm certain they won't be coming to Portland as there really isn't a venue big enough. Seattle is the only place close enough for me to go see them.  :-\

Well they've already played A Nightmare to Remember now, so I think it's highly probable they'll start playing most of them on the PN tour. The only reason they aren't playing them now is because DT consider this leg of the tour the "warmup" leg, and because it started before the album actually came out.

Expect them to pull out Wither and TCoT on the U.S. and Europe PN legs. I think they won't play TBoT at LEAST until next year (if MP can do it then though) and they won't play The Shattered Fortress until they start playing the 12-Step Suite. That's my opinion on the subject.

Actually after the line-up announcement came, I was hoping it was going to be just ZPZ and DT. I was about to say YES 2 hour show. But I like Bigelf, Scale the Summit should get a smaller set time though in my opinion. They are an instrumental band.

Thanks Blob too, I didn't know it was considered a warm-up leg

But I think; setlist must contain more than 1 song from 6DOIT..  For the ballad; they should play disapear  instead of playing hollow years.

To add; I really enjoy if they play Losing Time/Grand Finale

Seems like they are sticking with the "hits" on the Euro leg and not stepping outside the box much.

I expect the same for PN09, really they only have 3 weeks once they get back, I am sure they want to spend that time with family. Here is what I think PN09 may look like:

THE COUNT OF TUSCANY

I definitely think 'Wither', 'Nightmare to Remember', and possibly 'Count of Tuscany' will be added. Remember DT only get 90 mins, Count of Tuscany will only work as an encore. Not sure if I would bring that out yet...

Let's do the math...

A Rite of Passage 8 mins
Wither 6 mins (play time)
A Nightmare to Remember 16 mins
Count of Tuscany 20 mins

Right there that's 50 minutes. Which leaves 40 mins left.

No way to fit the full AA suite in 40 mins, it's 60 mins. The only way to play the full AA suite is to play Rite, Wither, and Nightmare and then the AA suite.

That would exclude everything before 6 degrees...not going to happen.

They need at least 2 hours to play the AA suite. Logic deduces it won't be played on this leg. I could be wrong of course, but PN09 seems more like the 'warm up' tour for BC & SL... I mean only 19 U.S. dates, and skipping major areas of the country...

I really, really would love to see them do 'An Evening With' tour in the spring of 2010. That way we could get an hour set of mixed stuff, the AA suite in the second set, and then a nice 20 min encore... I miss those days! !!!

Here is what I think PN09 may look like:

A NIGHTMARE TO REMEMBER
BEYOND THIS LIFE
MISUNDERSTOOD
CONSTANT MOTION
HOLLOW YEARS
PANIC ATTACK
WITHER
VOICES
SOLITARY SHELL
A RITE OF PASSAGE
PULL ME UNDER
-----------------------------------------
THE COUNT OF TUSCANY


I'm not sure about some of these. For one, Panic Attack was played at almost every US headlining show last tour, and Mike likes to change up the setlists every tour. Constant Motion is the same way. If anything from SC, it'll most likely be Forsaken. And Beyond This Life was played last PN, if I'm not mistaken.

And to be honest, Wither doesn't sound like a good live song.

But a lot of these I can see them playing (Voices being prominent there)

I imagine Wither would be an amazing live song! The chorus is very anthemic, and you'd get the whole crowd singing along!

Pretty good set list.  I really wish they would bring out Anna Lee as their ballad.  If that were in place of Hollow Years, it would be an amazing set.
Hollow Years solo > Anna Lee.

Personally I'm expecting/hoping something like this (no order yet) for PN09:

A Nightmare to Remember
As I Am
These Walls
Erotomania
Voices
Hollow Years (extended)
Forsaken
A Rite of Passage
The Count of Tuscany

Of course, These Walls is just blind, hopeful speculation because I love that song, but everything else there I think I can reasonably assume are in the pool of songs for the setlists.
Title: Re: The Dream Theater Tour Dates & Setlists Thread (UPDATED 05/04)
Post by: brakkum on July 03, 2009, 11:13:31 AM
this is my assumption for PN09

A Nightmare to Remember
Caught in a Web
Hollow Years
A Rite of Passage
Wither
Solitary Shell
The Spirit Carries On
The Count of Tuscany
-----
Pull Me Under

And I would be TOTALLY cool with that. especially from the 6th row.

No.

But even if true, it wouldn't matter.  Hollow Years had been played much more recently and much more often than Anna Lee.  I would much rather hear Anna Lee.

Post by: SeRoX on July 04, 2009, 05:26:15 PM
That was really unbelievable concert. Everyone in group was on fire. Can't say anything negative for them.

First of all; We waited for the open-time of concert with myfriends. It was like time wasn't ticking. Anyway; I bought VIP ticket with my dudes so we went to lead raw and waiting for DT. Of course CYNIC made the crowd crazy with their super performance but surely everyone here was waiting for DT.

The Open Of DT

That was amazing, drums, guitars, keys and these most talented guys apeared. In The Presence Of Enemies was done perfectly, actually they played tihs song in 2007 but this time LaBrie made this song a legendary opener.

Beyond This Life as usual perfect and almost played in every gigs. That was enough to make us totaly crazy about them. Great solos, great drum.

Misunderstood; really I wasn't expecting to hear but they suprised us, I was melting for this song cos it become such a great song on live with LaBrie.

A Nightmare To Remember; that was shocking time. This song was made to make it performe live. Begining of the song; James's voice took us back Awake's days. His voice really impressing on that one. And the second section of the song and with a lovely voice of LaBrie. I can't tell you just have to see it live.

Hollow Years; a great ballad made its work and made everyone live in wonderland. Can't believe the crowd sang it the entire song. That was amazing time of the concert of course; LaBrie and us were amazing. 

Caught In A Web; of course I have some doubt about this song cos there is no video about on BC&SL tour and I thought; how can it be cool live! But I was really SHOCKED of LaBrie's performance. Like I said; He was on fire and made us live Awake's day again. Not like Chaos in Motion tour. Really improved singing.

Erotomania and Voices; Erotomania yeah! Everyone just focused Petrucci, Myung and Portnoy. A magic time for us. And the legend song of VOICES. There is no word to explain their performance. LaBrie was star of the song. He hit the high notes with no mistakes. That killed us of course. After high notes; everyone was screaming "Laaaaaaaaaaaaaa Brieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" 

Solitary Shell: Such a great and funny live song. We all enjoyed. Believe me; Turkish fans are really great listener. We never kept us unmoved, always there was an action, screaming! 

A Rite Of Passage: Really I undertand that; This song become pretty badass live. LaBrie really owned the begining and the chours really impressing with Portnoy. It seems; the crowd knew the song well.

Pull Me Under: LaBrie left to sing and we had the mic.   And DT just watched us   I was waiting PMU cos the last gig they played AS I AM. So it was not suprising. LaBrie nailed the "Watch the...." section, that was not like you saw on Youtube. These high notes were hit by LaBrie well.

Medley: A great medley opening with Metropolis, I felt myself watching SCORE cos LaBrie really sang it perfectly. The solos section with Rudess and Petrucci killer part of it. And Learning To Live just a taste from I&W. Brillant performed by LaBrie and I must say that this song should be played BC&SL world tour entirely. We just missing F# section. And The Crimson Sunset and the voice of LaBrie just made us kill. "Live Onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!" 

The crowd, DT, Istanbul, Turkey everthing was amazing.
Istanbul had an earthquake, we died in this beautiful agony 
Waiting again you guysssssssssssss

I knew it.

Maybe it's a Hollow Years Medley with the rest of the setlist contained within Hollow Years, thus it technically being only one song. Y'know, like the Once in a LIVETime cd with A Change of Seasons.

Or they just played all the versions of Hollow Years that they know just for the sake of it. Why not?!

ANTR - 16 minutes
AROP - 8 minutes
Hollow Years - 10 minutes
Erotomania - 7 minutes
Voices - 10 minutes
TCOT - 19 minutes
Metropolis - 10 minutes

That's roughly a 1:20 set.

Hollow Years is going to be a keeper for the rest of the tour, that's for sure. It's their new "Surrounded", which was extended and played at almost every show in the Chaos tour.
Title: Re: The Dream Theater Tour Dates & Setlists Thread (UPDATED 05/04)
Post by: OptionalPlayer on July 24, 2009, 10:42:47 PM
But Surrounded wasn't really played during the Train of Thought and Octavarium tour either. It was only brought up because of the 15 year anniversary of Images & Words.
I just think there's much more selection. Then again, this is only the first show. Who knows what else will be brought out!

Hollow Years wasn't played in either Octavarium and Systematic Chaos tours. And it wasn't brought up just because the 15 year anniversary, because if that happened, it wouldn't have been such a heavy constant in the past tour's setlists.

I didn't know Hollow Years was played on the Octavarium tour. I thought it was only the ToT tour before that. That is a bit overplayed. There are so many other songs that they need to bring in, like THESE WALLS DAMMIT.
But as you said, this is the first show, and only 7 songs from a master setlist of a lot more than that. Hopefully they bring out some surprises!

Yeah, DT should vary a little more their setlists. I feel the last tours that saw some true variety and surprises were 6DOIT and TOT tours. I'm not complaining or anything, but I knew what to expect from the Chaos setlists, and that wasn't very cool because that's one of DT's best live qualities.

I think the shorter sets have something to do with it. Once you get the standard songs they want in every set out of the way, there's not as much time left for mare varied setlists. Hopefully we'll see some new songs pop up over the next few shows.

Honestly, it's hard to describe how good it was. I was slightly to JLB's right , so I had a monitor right in my face with a perfect mix. Everyone sounded beyond amazing. JLB had a few problems, but nothing too bad at all.

I don't remember the exact setlist, so I'll do my best.

Hollow Years

Disappointing set. I'm glad they got rid of the silly medleys, but as good as Metropolis is I wouldn't mind not seeing it live for a very long time. Hopefully Erotomania and Voices will get swapped out for other songs.

So I guess the main skeleton is

ANTR
AROP
HY
song X
song Y
TCOT

Metropolis (hopefully they change the encore...but they haven't for the past few tours)

3 new songs is not disappointing for me. Not by a country mile. Then again I've seen a boatload of their songs live, having seen em on every main tour 2000 and forward. If TCOT was their first song I would seriously leave after 20 minutes a happy man. :metaltard

OK, so tomorrow night I'll be at the Hard Rock Live in Orlando. This is the setlist from the show I was at last year of the same venue.

1.  2008: An Ant Odyssey (intro video)
2.  Also sprach Zarathustra
3.  Constant Motion
4.  Never Enough
5.  Misunderstood
6.  The Dark Eternal Night
7.  Erotomania
8.  Voices
9.  As I Am
10.  The Ministry of Lost Souls
~~~encore~~~
11.  Metropolis pt.1 (w/ guitar and keyboard jam)/
12.  Learning to Live (abridged)/
13.  The Crimson Sunset

So, um, I hope they still play Metropolis in full this time like tonight, because the only other times I've seen them live, they've played Metropolis as part of a medley.

Just read on MP.com setlist thread that JR got a keyboard spot! Why?! They could have fit another song in.

Also, Erotomania, Voices and Metropolis are strange song choices. They all got played on the last tour. Hopefully those will be switched around a bit.

I doubt it was anything more than a quick lead in lasting about 1-2 minutes at most. I doubt they could have fit in another song.

For the time they were given, that's a damn good set. I don't think they'll play Erotomania and Voices on the cities they hit last tour, it'll probably be switched out for something else. What surprises me is there were no SC songs. I am pleased. :D

Last night's set list was pretty rad...the three new songs (which were fairly predictable) and then nothing but stuff from the 90s, three of which I would put in my personal DT top 6.  Very nice.

Tonight...pretty meh so far, although "Misunderstood" being fourth is pretty awesome.

Oh, and NB4 the "ZOMG, Prophets of War was so awesome live, I underestimated it..it is now one of my favorite DT songs" posts.  :lol :lol

I honestly do not want to turn this thread into an argument over what their worst instrumental is, so I will just say that, while technically brilliant, "The Dance of Eternity" is lacking a memorable melody of any sort, unlike most of their other technical wizardry songs, most of which usually have a memorable melody somewhere, and the last two minutes just go on and on and on and on...

Post by: Jamesman42 on July 26, 2009, 08:49:03 AM
Gee, thanks for doubting me, guys. :laugh: Nah, I kid, that was a crazy setlist, I understand.

Crowd and band was on fire for this show. A few people, but not many, left after ZPZ. Still, this was definitely DT's night. Keys and vocals could have been louder and guitar a bit softer, but, other than that, the best DT show I've seen now. Stage setup was great. JR had a giant flat screen TV behind him, which sometimes showed the same thing that was on the megascreen. Hmm. JLB was only a little shaky vocally in the beginning, but he was ON after that.

Setlist, because I want to:

1. A Nightmare to Remember
2. Prophets of War (total shocker, but (@kevschmev), it DID work great live, but we had an energetic crowd as well)
~Keyboard Solo~ into. . .
3. Sacrificed Sons
4. Misunderstood (which they played last year at this same venue, so this was a shocker, but with the chaotic ending this time)
5. A Rite of Passage
6. The Dance of Eternity (I really don't know why I thought it was Overture 1928, maybe because I'msick :lol )
7. Take the Time (which missed the second verse, but the ending was a bit extended to "cap off the song," so I wouldn't say extended like "Hollow Years" extended.) Keytar on this for keyboard solo and unison
-------------
Encore: THE COUNT OF TUSCANYYYYYYYY

For Nihil-Morari: If I heard correctly, a couple of the songs for ZPZ were: Inca Roads, forgot the name now, but some song about Turkey farmers?, and a "blues song gone horribly wrong." That's all I can recall since I've never listened to ZPZ, but I will say that I was highly impressed with them! :laugh:

Ahhhh.

Was it on the big screen for the keyboard solo at all, or all just live cam of JR? I don't know how they've got it hooked up right now.
And I'm still waiting to see some live footage of all of TCOT and ANTR. I want to see my own damn videos!

And from what I saw of the videos, awesome work. TCOT, AROP, ANTR, PoW, all awesome.

The original PoW video I made never even got used. I remade it for the CiM DVD, and that's the one they're using now. It's the same, but I updated the graphics a bit.
Glad they're using it. It's still got a few little kinks to iron out, as it hasn't been tested on the road yet, but it's running pretty well.

Boston won't get Misunderstood, as it was played last time, but man, If we get POW, SS, and TDOE, I will be very f##king happy. What time have they been going on??

Great setlist, and if that are the track lengths behind the song names, Dweezil is indeed allowing a lot of improvisation in the set.
Inca Roads, which clocks in at somewhere between 8 and 54 minutes?  :lol

Is it only me that thinks the lists look very short? Since It'll be my first DT concert ever, maybe I want it to look bigger, and even though I realize that it represents 90 minutes of awesome music, it still looks small. Anyway, I'll have to get used to it.

I would think that comes out to around 85 minute, which is kind of disappointing, as were the set times of the last two shows. Kind of hoping they'd play on the heavy side of 90 minutes, as opposed to being contained so tightly by it each night, but the sets are still awesome.

Thanks. Anyone else notice JLB mess up the timing during the "would you like to see" verse? He misssed a beat somewhere then realized about two lines later that he'd messed up. It's fun hearing little problems like that on early performances of a song.
I still remember the very first performance of ITPOE.

Anywho, I was at both the Tampa and Orlando shows. While it was awesome seeing Prophets of War live for the first time at Hard Rock, the Tampa show absolutely slayed it. Solitary Shell went on for between 15-20 minutes and had some of the most intense soloing I've seen Petrucci and Rudess pull off. Simply incredible.

Anybody that gets to see the Tampa setlist on this tour is in for a real treat.
Welcome! Enjoy your stay, just don't go down the cellar stairs.

I would so trade PoW for Solitary Shell, even though it rocked and is a lot shorter. I love SS, favorite movement of SDOIT.

Post by: Disappear on July 28, 2009, 09:43:46 PM
I'm actually saying yay to the inclusion of POW, just cuz it's a refreshing random curveball in their setlists. It's probably a fun live song anyway, even if the song itself sucks. My reason for the "almost-perfect" setlist is actually Sacrificed Sons, for the most part a pretentious bore in a live setting. At least it was at the Score show.

I'm not a big fan of Prophets of War either myself, but I really liked how it played live today.

I was in the third row, standing floor, Petrucci-side, and the VIP section was right next to me.  There was a guy standing across the VIP railing from me that got the entire show on handheld video camera, so that may surface on the bootleg arena soon.  There were a few points where he was struggling to get around the guy in front of him's hands though.

I met them backstage after the show and informed Jordan that we could see the bottom half of his setlist copy from the camera angle used on the Jumbotron.

^ this.

and david tennant is an amazing doctor, and has benefitted from marvelous storytelling (the series 3 run of eps 11-13 were amazing), they always say that you never forget your first doctor, and while i grew up with tom baker and peter davison, christopher eccleston is and will always be, my doctor.

(to the peter davison fan:  search for a video from a few christmases ago that the who crew shot for a children's benefit that features both tennant and davison in the tardis.  also, in the episode "the doctor's daughter" from s4, genny is played by peter davison's daughter :))

I definitely have to agree that POW is excellent live.  What was one of my least favorite songs on one of my least favorite albums is suddenly awesome.  The chants during the chorus ("FIND THE TRUTH"etc..) were absolutely awesome, as the lyrics to those parts were shown on the screen so just about everyone in the Atlanta crowd was chanting along.

Scale the Summit - 7-7:30

Bigelf - 7:45-8:15

Zappa - 8:30 - 9:30

DT - 9:50 - 11:20

it's actually one of my least favorite dt songs.  i respect the sentiment and know the feeling (i live near the pentagon and my brother lived in manhattan at the time), but as a song, quite frankly, it makes me fairly uncomfortable.  if they play it at merriweather, i'll listen to it and hope that it resonates more with me seeing it live, but frankly, will enjoy the setlist more without it.

Holy God was this set awesome.  Constant Motion is a fun live song, that's for sure.  I was really shocked they didn't play AROP!  JP's guitar seemed to break down halfway through Erotomania and MP teased us by looking like he was about to jump the band back into the Silent Man part, and kept doing that until JP's guitar started working again.  The crowd really got into it and I have a very strong feeling DT is coming back to NC again.

In 2007, my friends and I drove from Atlanta to Baltimore to see them, because Baltimore was the closest thing to the Southeast they were playing.

Since then, we've learned:  Atlanta is the absolute best venue in America to see them, due to the General Admission Floor allowing you to get your spot first-come first-serve instead of having to be on the Meet-and-Greet list to sit in the front row.  That Baltimore show was a good show, don't get me wrong, but the setlist and experience were weak in comparison to the Tabernacle.  The Gwinnett Arena where they played for Gigantour is also a comparatively weak venue to the Tabernacle.

Just got home from Asheville. It was DT's first NC show 'ever', and a great one at that.
'Erotomania/Voices', regardless of hearing it last year in Richmond, was still a highlight and 'Hollow Years' was a nice surprise.
It's been years since I had to drive less than 4 hours to see them....16, to be exact (Stone Pony, Asbury Park in '93).
Would've loved 'Afterlife' or 'The Killing Hand', but whatchya gunna doo :-\

Did they really play CM instead of AROP????

Post by: skydivingninja on July 30, 2009, 05:56:42 PM
Yup.  I was just as surprised as everyone else here is.  But even if you wouldn't want to see CM live, just remember most of you weren't at the Asheville show.  I can guarantee that if you were there, you'd go just as crazy as everyone else because, let's face it, you're seeing Dream Theater play somewhere for the first time ever.  Its a pretty awesome feeling, even if you miss out on the totally awesome single from the new album and get a mediocre single from the last one.  If anyone else gets CM during ProgNation '09 in the states, try to enjoy it.  Its a lot of fun live.

That being said, if they decided to play Prophets of War here I would have been pissed.

Question to those who saw 'Voices' live:

How did James sound? I'm sure there's footage of him on Youtube, but I'm not gonna trust a grainy video to judge his performance.

I'm hoping they bring it to Philly tomorrow :metal

Oh I wasn't worried he was going to be bad. He surprised the hell out of my on the CiM tour. I was just curious, because I was just listening to it and a lot of it is in the higher register, which he had been having trouble hitting

I'm going to Sonisphere this weekend ( https://uk.sonispherefestivals.com/ ), so in my absence, could a mod try to keep this thread updated with the setlists for the next two, possibly three, shows, and update the song count accordingly. Or I'll just do it all at once when I get back.

On topic, I think we've seen most of the songs that will be in rotation on this leg now. Perhaps there might be one or two more in places like NYC and LA, but on the whole I think we've seen the typical setlist already.

Dallas got both Take The Time and Metropolis back in '07. I wonder what they'll be playing for their pre-encore/encores when they hit that area (and others) again in the spring. IE, their pre-encores/encores at this point in time are either TCOT/Metropolis or TTT/TCOT. And since they don't like repeating themselves, well....


(They'll probably just play As I Am or Pull Me Under and be done with it, but personally I'd love to see any of the songs that made up Schmedley Wilcox show up again at some point. Might not happen this tour though, sad to say).

Yeah. Then again, there was a difference between the two. In 2008, they didn't play the chaotic ending at the end, but this year, last week actually, they did in fact play the entire distorted ending. I wonder if that counts as being different. ???

Epic setlist. The way the setlists are trending, they're alternating between Metropolis and TCOT as the encore. Specifically, they are playing TTT into TCOT, or TCOT into Metropolis.

Just came back from the philly show.

1. A Nightmare to Remeber
2. A Rite of Passage
3. Hollow Years
4. Erotomania
5. Voices
6. Prophets of War
7. The Count of Tuscany

encore:
Metropolis

Everything started around 7:15 PM i think.  Overall it was a pretty crazy night. I was right infront of petrucci the whole time and i caught a pick at the end :) I dont think it is the pick that he used tho i think he tossed a bunch of cheaper picks.  I also shook JP,JM and JRs hand after the show and just saying thanks and stuff. A thing that I noticed was that Labrie entered too early in Prophets of War and Jordan gave a really pissed off look... but i mean these things happen.  Another thing that I think the whole concert noticed was that the curtain didnt open when the band started ANTR :) It took about 20 seconds for a bunch of guys to bring that thing down. 

The band seemed pretty tired but i mean its obviously understandable. Even im tired after being there from 5:30-12:15 AM.

Fantastic show!

Epic set and epic night from Petrucci. Tuscany is so good live and goes by in like 2 minutes. Metropolis 07 is awesome. James was ridiculously loud which made me uncomfortable at first, but I eased into it when I realized how on he was (Voices... OMG). DT crowds need to wake up, though  ;)

If there's one thing that I wasn't expecting to see, it's Dream Theater being out-classed musically by an opening act. I love ya, DT, but I gotta hand it to Zappa Plays Zappa for actual performing despite DT still being my favorite performance of the night.

Ha, I'm jealous. I wasn't really close enough to see if Jordan was pissed off or not.

That curtain not falling during ANTR- classic! Also, I now understand why the "woah" is TCoT is the wa it is. Initially, I thought it should be higher, and that James should hit an f#. After seeing it live, I realized that it's much better lower as it gives the crowd a way to sing along. One of the bests parts of the evening, without a doubt.

I think POW, Sacrificed, TDOE, One Last Time, and Take the Time are all more likely.

Be a great show no matter what though...maybe the nicest venue in boston to see DT.

Sacrificed Sons
A Rite Of Passage
The Dance Of Eternity
One Last Time
Solitary Shell (extended jam)
In The Name Of God

The Count Of Tuscany

I might be forgetting one song though. Will post my thoughts later, pretty tired from being blown away by 4 amazing bands tonight (I don't include QR, since I was pretty bored by them). Fucking awesome setlist by DT. I was pleasantly surprised by ITNOG, one of my faves. Even Sacrificed Sons was epic and moving. Oh and it turns out Nick was 2 seats away from me in the same row. :D

Title: Re: The Dream Theater Tour Dates & Setlists Thread (UPDATED 05/04)
Post by: kefka on August 01, 2009, 11:12:11 PM
epic.  epic.  epic.

i didn't have any interested in bigelf or scale the summit, so knowing the band start times, i planned accordingly.  as a result?  i got stuck in nightmare traffic on I-95 north and it poured rain the entire drive, until i turned onto MD32 (about five minutes from the venue).  apparently it rained everywhere in the d.c. metro area EXCEPT for columbia, and the concert grounds were dry as a bone.

so thoughts?

caught the end of bigelf.  better name is bigfail.

queensryche:  first couple of songs, i was already writing the review for their set to post here in my head.  something along the lines of "geoff tate's certainly showing his age, but his voice is as good as it has ever been."  and that was true of the entire set.  first half of the set?  thoroughly enjoyable.  second half of the set?  complete and utter suck.  they wrapped themselves in the american flag so hard it was distasteful.  at one point, either a marine disrespecting his uniform, or an actor disrespecting the service, came on, saluted the crowd (wtf seriously), and then proceeded to jump around the stage like a pro-wrestler, only taking occasional breaks to shout "fuck" into the microphone.  there was no coming back from that.  the rest of their set was utterly forgettable.

zappa plays zappa:  holy shit.  i mean, jesus christ, i was skeptical of all the raving reviews posted on these boards, but i'll be damned if they didn't live up to every expectation i had.  if DT hadn't been so on tonight, zappa plays zappa would've blown them offstage.  i think maybe that's one of the reasons mike portnoy picked them to co-headline:  if DT tries to phone a show in, ZPZ is just gonna make em look bad, so DT always has to bring their A game.  dweezil zappa is, i guess, in his early 40s by now, and his face is starting to look a lot more like his dad's.  if he grew a goatee like his dad, they would be indiscernible.  what i really loved about his performance was just how happy he looked.  he had this completely placid, comfortable look that seldom left his face, even as he scorched up and down his fretboard.  mind you, this was not the stoned-concentration of phish.  he just looked like he was doing exactly what he wanted to be doing, and was happy to be playing for us.  he opened the show by saying that his dad was born in baltimore (huge cheers), so he always enjoyed playing around here.  the rest of the band?  unbelievable.  i know a lot of people have singled out the incredibly talented young woman who sings, plays keyboards and saxophone, and yes, was insane, but i've gotta give it up for the percussionist.  having been a classically trained percussionist myself (many many years ago), my jaw just dropped at the fluidity and technique with which, in particular, he played the vibes.

and then it was dream theater's turn.  about 95 minutes of performance (a little bump from average *squee*), all of it amazing.  i was in row O, so after the meet and greet ticket holders, i was 8th row center, no more than 30 feet from the stage.  after hearing some people comment about shows poorly mixed, i was afraid that was going to be the case, especially during the opening minutes of ANTR, where jordan sounded a little quiet.  but i guess the sound guys actually do their jobs at merriweather, b/c this was corrected by halfway through the song.  the mix throughout the remainder of the show was excellent, if a little on the high end (which i attribute to the fact that i was close enough to actually hear the cymbals and JP's amps, not through the PA.  even mike's "RAWR I AM A BEAR" stuff in the song worked, b/c he used the "RAWR" to say "come on maryland" or something, that got the crowd going.  the only thing from their set, and it's a fairly minor thing, was that i found the footage of 9/11 during "sacrificed sons" to be, i dunno, distasteful is too strong a word, but inappropriate.  the song itself, however, one that has long been on the bottom of my rankings of DT songs, was performed excellently, and the second half of the song was really very well done.

TDOE and OLT were definite highlights for me.  i would've liked to hear some stuff from awake and IaW, but knowing that they'd played erotomania and voices in philly, i wasn't expecting anything.  the set didn't suffer because of it, i just hope to hear some when they come through town next time on their headlining show.

ITNOG was a surprising set closer.  During PoW, the camera mounted on jordan's keyboard came up on the screen, and so amidst his flying fingers, we got to see the left half of the setlist.  it made me comfortable to know that we were getting TCOT for an encore, but i could only see "In The..." for the closer, so spent a bit of their set wondering if we were getting "in the presence of enemies."  that aside, once they actually started the song, it was just amazing.  ToT has long been my 2nd least favorite DT album, but their expert performance was more than enough to get me to revisit that album.

and then there was TCOT.  jesus h. christ, what a song live.  the woman next to me switched with (i think) her daughter or niece about halfway through the set, so while i never got her name, i got to spend the set with a beautiful woman who knew all the lyrics to all of the DT songs.  somedays god just smiles on me :3  now i can play the drums pretty well, but i can't carry a tune in a bag, and nonetheless, particularly on PoW and TCOT, i felt compelled to sing at the top of my lungs.  fortunately for everyone around me, the band was loud enough to drown me out :)  but the entire venue, it seemed, sang along to TCOT, and by the conclusion of the song, everyone was belting out the WooooaaAAs.  so anonymous girl and i were throwing the metal horns up and belting at the top of our lungs until the very end.

as they took their bows, all she said to me, with huge smile on her face, was "how was that for a show?"  indeed.

(two negative things happened around me during the concert.  

during ZPZ's set, two rows in front of me, these two guys, probably five or six years younger than me, were clearly huge zappa fans.  they knew all the lyrics, knew the instrumental parts, etc.  so how did they show their love?  they danced their asses off.  they weren't stoned, they weren't drunk, they were just enjoying the music as best they could.  and some douchebag (who had stood throughout QR's set), grabbed one of the guys' shirt and proceeded to berate them to sit down.  i couldn't hear the argument, but i just remember seeing said douchebag go "do you see anyone else dancing?" as he gestured to the pavilion.  eventually the two kids just sighed sadly and sat down.  i could tell they were trying to enjoy the show as much still, but my heart went out to them.  it was such a dick thing to do.

the other (which got said anonymous girl next to me), was that some jackass and his friend had clearly too much to drink.  one of them was so drunk that he was literally unable to support himself.  he passed out on the concrete floor, while his jackass friend punched him over and over.  two kids behind me, no older than 14, tried to get the guy some help, but jackass said to them point blank, "fuck you you little faggots."  said passed out jackass proceeded to vomit his entire digestive system all over the floor about two or three songs into DT's set.  by this point, someone had gone to get help, and the staff of the venue took the two idiots out and did their best to clean up the mess.  so yeah, one, don't be a fucking homophobe.  two, don't get fucking drunk at shows.  have a couple of beers, sure, if that's your thing, but know your limits.  these idiots very nearly ruined the whole show for the people sitting next to me.

so other than those two things, amazing amazing show.  nice that we got a little variety in the set.  start to finish, the band was on fire, and TCOT was maybe one of the best musical performances i have seen in a very long time.

added bonus?  only took me ten minutes to get out of the parking lot :)

i hope everyone else enjoyed the show as much as me.  it was truly a great night.

(edit: put the wrong SFAM song in there.  oops)

Don't get me wrong, I like political messages, but at least have some thought behind them. And some good music. DT played 3 topical songs tonight but they are at least thoughtful and universal and are backed up by some excellent music. SS comes close to crossing the line but I can forgive a couple seconds of Osama mugging for the camera. :P

QR's whole set played more like a "support our troops" program on Fox News.  :\ Oh well, the audience dug it so whatevs. :)

Hey, you guys got a pretty long set though. Lucky!
Title: Re: The Dream Theater Tour Dates & Setlists Thread (UPDATED 05/04)
Post by: kefka on August 01, 2009, 11:47:49 PM
yeah, i never sensed that DT was being disrespectful, either in sacrificed sons or PoW.  while driving up to the venue, i saw a bumper sticker that said "dissent is the strongest form of patriotism."  i thought it was a nice mix of PoW as not essentially an anti-war song, but more of a "be educated about what is going on in the world, and don't be afraid to ask hard questions," and sacrificed sons, which was, i must confess, a very moving performance that didn't take sides other than to say "this was something awful that happened, let us pay tribute to those firefighters and policemen who ran into burning buildings and many of whom never came out." (though i agree w/ you disappear, the footage of the al-qaeda training camps and osama were pushing it)

QR, on the other hand, as others have illuminated further than i already had, spent the entire second half of their set practically with an american flag in their mouth and a sparkler out their asses.

and living in northern virginia, i have a lot of friends, and some family, in both the military and intelligence services.  when i was teaching at one school, one of the teachers had to leave halfway through the school year because she was getting deployed for the third time.  i can understand the ideas behind the wars, i unequivocally support the troops, whether they're friends and family or not, and can still be angry about the abuses that have gone on.  i won't go any further.  this board is about music, not politics.  but suffice to say, DT handled deftly what QR handled poorly, to say the least.

oh, i forgot one really cool thing that i'd never seen at merriweather before!  in between sets, you could send text messages to a number, and they'd end up on the screens.  they ranged from "i love lamp" and cheers for every sports team (locals ones were cheered, like the ravens and the redskins, while the philadelpia eagles, dallas cowboys, new york giants, and boston red sox were boo'ed viciously), a couple proposals, and the two best ones i saw?  "let me introduce, my brother" and "scream if you're a girl who didn't come because her boyfriend wanted you too, but b/c you like DT" (or something to that effect).  both got HUGE cheers and laughs from the crowd.

Just got back from MD, great show

could have done without A Rite of Passage and Prophets of War but the rest of the set was great, I couldn't believe they played TDOE (except Rudess's keyboard camera was massive setlist spoilers)

I really am not a fan of that venue though, or with pavilions in general, but this one gets a lot of praise and I dont see it. I really hope they are in an arena next time. I couldn't hear half of Solitary Shell and the jam because the drums overtook it, thats the first time I have had a problem with sound with DT.

favorite part: uhh tough, I guess TDOE just because I love it so much

ZPZ was fantastic

What's wrong with the footage of Osama? I mean, how can you have a 9-11 tribute without showing the guy? That's like having a holocaust memorial without mentioning Hitler.

I didn't see the video, so excuse me if I sound ignorant.

Post by: kefka on August 02, 2009, 12:13:20 AM
chaos:

i can understand the dislike of pavilions, though i didn't have any of the sound issues you described.  were you on the lawn perhaps?  or if in the venue, if you're on one side (as has been my occasion at wolftrap, another pavilion in vienna, va), it can be mixed so that if you're in a particular section other than the center, one instrument can overtake the others.

the problem is that even with this massive lineup, the venue was, at best 70% full.  merriweather holds somewhere between 17-20,000 ppl.  when i hit the bathroom before ZPZ, the lawn was sparsely populated to say the least, and there were entire sections of the pavilion (the covered part, at least), that were roped off as closed.

when they want to do a summer festival tour, it's hard to pass up pavilions.  here's hoping that DT's next pass through town will either be at constitution hall in dc, or if we're REALLY REALLY lucky, they'll do a small show at the magnificent 9:30 club in d.c. (which at capacity, only holds a little under 1,100 ppl).

edit @perp:  it's my interpretation of the song that it's paying tribute to the people who died as a result of the attacks on sept. 11th.  if the band decided to use footage of osama bin laden, it would've been more appropriate at the beginning of the video.  instead, it appears at the end of the song, which contextually, makes little sense, and seems inappropriate.

one last edit before bed:  i nearly forgot one more suck part of QR's set.  at one point, before a song about a group of marines who travelled for three days to rescue another marine that none of them knew, in a truly heroic act, geoff tate explained that one of the marines' core values is "never leave a man behind."  um, my best friend is an air force pilot, and i taught with an army ranger.  that's the entire military's motto.  jesus, you can learn that just from watching "stargate: sg-1."

i'll bet that's what it was... sonically, you were in the direct line of mike's drums on the mini-kit, and as far away from JP's amps as possible.  sorry to hear that was your case :(

and yeah, i hope constitution hall is where they come for their headlining tour, the venue sounds great in every spot available!

It really made my friend at the Baltimore show happy. He's a big fan of their heavier stuff, especially Train of Thought. The last show he had seen with me was Score, and of course the song played there from the album was the shortest and the only soft song, and that was really his only complaint about the show.

So fast forward to this show he had asked me not to say anything about possible setlists so I was happy I didn't have to disappoint him by saying that they haven't played anything from the album on this leg yet...

So then DT surprises me and plays the longest song on the album, I really felt as tho they were making it up to my friend who was at the Score show. :lol

just finished watching the miami show and it reminded me of two things from last night:

1) JP and MP's vocals were much better mixed last night... watching TCOT from miami, they're all but unheard on the choruses, making JLB's harmonies sound odd (even though he hit them spot on).  last night, their vocals made the chorus sound much closer to the album vocals.

2) JP gave us an Octavarium lean-back at the end of his solo in TCOT just before the ambient part.  crowd went absolutely nuts.

I know there's already a song count for the European and PN09 tours combined, but it would be really great if we could see a PN09 exclusive song count.  Not that I can't count myself, I'm just extremely lazy :)

Also, if the set durations were given for each show, that would be pretty handy.  Again, I could do it myself, but I just don't feel like it.

I was at the CT show last night, my first DT show. (Wheeee!). I was not expecting Beyond this Life or Forsaken, but both turned out great. The highlight might actually have been Sacrificed Sons, everyone sang the last chorus and the verses after it. A whole lot of fun. Shame they didn't do Voices or In the Name of God, but it was a blast none the less. Good times!

I'd love to see Wither as well, but in JP's recent interview, he said they are doing 3 songs from the new album on this leg, and they are already doing those three.  So, we'll see.

The worst thing about seeing all these setlists/dates from CT is the fact I used to live there.  When my Mom saw my BC&SL shirt, she noticed that I could have WALKED to the Oakdale from our house back then.  :(  I could have seen them, like, every year.

Same here.  I think the set lists are more diverse in terms on song choices.  I also like how every once and awhile they throw a new song in there.  Im expecting a similar show to most tomorrow night in NJ, but I hope for a new song in NYC on Sunday.

i think people are implying that, as has been in the past, after PN09 is over, the band will set out on its own headlining tour, generally with one opening act.  their sets tend to be closer to two and  half, sometimes three, hours.  it's likely that during said tour, at least on some dates, crowds will see the entirety of the 12-step suite.  i'm certainly hoping to get it in dc, i'd love to hear the glass prison in person.

oh, and for the record, while i'd much rather get TCOT again, i wouldn't be sad to hear wither played live.  it's like the littlest child of the family that is BC&SL.  it's not epic, it's only 5 minutes long, so in the company of the other epics that populate the album, it gets looked at as the weakest track on the album.

It should be noted that Mike Portnoy said it would be 1 OR 2 opening acts, and that because it is not evening with a 2 hour average set time would be much more likely than 2 and a half.

They won't play it on the Prog Nation tour, no.  But they will most likely play it at some point on their headlining tour, which is what perfectchaos180 was referring to.

The NY shows is the 8th and 9th August.

I noticed that they currently have played 24 different songs + a medley. Add the three remaining BC&SL songs and we are up to 27 different songs, add the four other AA songs beside the Shattered Fortress to that and we are up to 31 songs. I dont think they will play whole Awake (except SDV) but I will be pleasantly surprised if they do that, no more medley I think too. I think they'll have played between 31-40 songs when the tour is over.

I doubt they'll play Wither and Best of Times, but they will play Shattered Frwhen they play the 12-step suite of course.

Also, why do so many people doubt that they won't play the 12-step suite on this tour?  It's the perfect opportunity.  They'll have the six songs, then they'll have an encore like Count of Tuscany, and that's about 1:30 right there.  Maybe they'll even open with Nightmare.  I don't think we can rule out the possibility of them playing the suite on PN09.

Yea, I certainly don't expect the 12 step suite this tour and MP confirmed it won't be played on Sunday, but that doesn't mean TSF won't be played alone.  I am starting to expect more of a collaboration with the other bands on PN09 than a new DT song introduced to the set list.  Both would be great though.

I'm kinda surprised they didn't bring out the Zebra cover for Long Island, that pretty much shoots my theory of them playing a cover or two from Black Clouds live on a special occasion to hell.

Pretty special show, if I recall correctly that's only the 2nd show on the leg to get Misunderstood and Forsaken, and of course the first outing of As I Am.

Considering nothing in that set is extended it is probably not the longest set, and definitely not by far.

I've been at shows that were 101 minutes, and I think Boston may have even been a tad longer.

That's the second time I've seen Forsaken described as a power ballad, and it really confuses me as I don't see anything remotely ballady about it. It strikes me as more like AROP (I've always thought of AROP as a kinda cross between CM and Forsaken).
Title: Re: The Dream Theater Tour Dates & Setlists Thread (UPDATED 05/04)
Post by: Nihil-Morari on August 09, 2009, 06:19:14 AM
Well, I don't listen to Forsaken on a regular basis, but I guess it has to do with the placing on the album.
It's kind of a restpoint in between ITPOE 1, and CM. Maybe the song itself is not ballady, but the songs around it are heavy.

I shall listen to it again today, as a standalone track.

I think MP's explanation is fair, but I disagree with the fact that he couldn't do the original version justice. They're very angry verses, it's not like he needs to be delicate with his phrasing or anything.

Uh, this might be kinda odd...
I have a friend who said he went to the Asheville, NC show...
He says the band played TBOT... the setlist doesn't show that, though.
Other details of the show, according to him:
BTBAM subbed for Scale the Summit
Mike Portnoy had an epic drum solo during Erotomania after Petrucci's guitar malfunctioned
Petrucci and Rudess and a guitar/keytar duel during Metropolis

He says that Portnoy started crying halfway through TBOT and had to leave the stage.

I think the part about the drum solo in Erotomania was partly true. It was a rather short improvision because the guitar did go down for a short amount of time.

In Asheville?  They definitely didn't play TBOT, but JP's rig DID fail during Erotomania so Mike did a drum solo before they all launched back into the Silent Man theme.

I just saw a video of PoW live.


......when did DT start using backing tracks?

This is the first time, was a little surprising when I saw it for sure.

But it's not like the members aren't doing something, it would be tough for MP to play the drum part and pull those lines off live.
I think MP's explanation is fair, but I disagree with the fact that he couldn't do the original version justice. They're very angry verses, it's not like he needs to be delicate with his phrasing or anything.
Yup, I remember reading that somewhere.

MP commented on the show being the best of the tour right before leaving the stage. No surprise as 90% of the time I've seen live bands in Montreal they comment about how we are the best crowd in North America.

I agree that the setlist was kinda weak. When they left the stage for the 1st time, I was so disappointed that they played only 1 pre SFAM song, that I had a hard time enjoying "The Count of Tuscany", which is IMO a pretty average song. I mean, I just couldn't believe that they didn't play any song from Awake. I know that I can't blame MP for leaving Images and Words out of the set since they cover the whole album span of their last 3 shows in Montreal. However on the 4 shows they only played 2 song from awake (Lie and CIAW).

I just really really hope that I'll get to hear either The Mirror, Voices or Scarred live next time.

The improvs were good, but honestly, after watching ZPZ, I have to admit that DT's improvised section in Solitary Shell was a bit boring.

Hollow Years was awesome and so were JP's solos. But did anyone noticed when he did that string skipping thing that really didn't fit at all in there?

It was also lame that a lot of the crowd decided to sit for the first part of Hollow Years just 'cause Labrie was sitting.

When do you think they will start doing the BC&SL world tour ? The PN tour finishes October 31, so I assume that they will take a break and tour again in late winter/ealry spring. What do you think ?
Title: Re: The Dream Theater Tour Dates & Setlists Thread (UPDATED 05/04)
Post by: ResultsMayVary on August 14, 2009, 10:07:42 AM
They are touring in December in Australia and New Zealand for a select few dates (around 6 or so...) and then they'll take a Christmas/New Years Break with their families.

Then they might start touring in January sometime and they may hit Asia/South America in January/February depending on when they start in January. That would allow them to possibly start the US Headline tour in March/April and that tour could last a month or more if Mike holds true to his statement when he said he'd make it to all the places PN09 didn't go to regardless of cost.

I personally can't wait for the Ohio show.

I wouldn't put money on an Ohio show. It's very likely, but the statement Mike made was not about Ohio. He specifically said he would go to Phoenix and Texas. I would not be surprised if a spot like the Northwest got neglected again, same with Ohio.

It's looking like this *may* be all the dates....
 
I wish we could play everywhere, but there are many variables that make it impossible...
 
I must go on record and let you all know that I have been FIGHTING for shows specifically in Houston, Dallas and Phoenix...really, I've been totally pullin for em...but its just not looking good....   
 
Frankly, the promoter's offers in those markets are not very good and for us to stay out those few extra 3 or 4 days at the end will put us in the red (we have to pay *alot* of overhead to make Progressive Nation happen.....the 3 extra bands, extra crew, catering, stage and venue time, etc. all comes from DT's pay)

So I made my manager and agent *promise* me if we can't swing it this time, it will happen regardless of the expense, when we do another US run in the spring....

MP
Your right that his isn't specific about Ohio and the Northwest/British Columbia but according to MP.com, DT has played at least one Ohio show every world tour so i'm betting on at least one if not two.

Yep.

It was also lame that a lot of the crowd decided to sit for the first part of Hollow Years just 'cause Labrie was sitting.

Well what I thought was especially lame was how low the stage was. It's as if they expected people to sit during the whole show. The view was perfect for the opening acts, but as soon as everyone stood up for DT, I couldn't see much of the band, cause I was in far back.

(Disclaimer: I just don't like covers and i'd rather have them play another DT song)

I disagree whole-heartedly.  Maybe if they covered something like Xanadu, or something else Rush does often, then ok.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that I've heard that Rush themselves have never played The Camera Eye?  3 years ago on the 8vm tour, we got Jacob's Ladder - something rarely/never played by Rush.  On the ToT tour, it was A Passage to Bangkok (before Rush dusted that one off).  So, I totally enjoy getting something that is unique.  Just because it was written and recorded not by DT doesn't bother me.  Great songs, great performances - that's what we go to concerts for, isn't it?

Anyway, it's late, so I'm only going to post some quick thoughts on the concert.

StS and Bigelf were good.  I like both, so it was great to see them in concert.  Both were out in the concourse signing shit and meeting the fans afterwards.
Zappa - didn't expect much since I don't listen to them.  They were good, and quite musically talented - man they can jam... and that's what they did.  MP came out for Bobby Brown again.
DT - great performance.  James' frontman skills are even better this tour.  Vocals were great - he nailed 'pleasantly amused enough to staaaaay' in Voices (but chinced out on 'deliver us from darkness', and 'only in your mind').  They cut the heavy verse in Voices at 3:18, as well as the second verse in Take the Time (I guess James can't hit those stanza's anymore - even though he says his voice is better than it's been in years).  I think they also needed every minute they could, as they went right to 11pm, and I'm pretty sure there's a curfew at the Amphitheatre.  Keytar was in full force for TtT.  Personally, I would've prefered PoW over Forsaken, but I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked Forsaken.  The Camera Eye was awesome.  They nailed it.  When JR came out for the the first couple of notes, I was speachless.... I thought it was going to be a teaser (cuz they teased with Xanadu on the CiM tour), but then they played the whole song!  :omg: Fucking loved it.

I'm surprised at how much backing tracks they use nowadays.  I always liked the fact they did the full performance on their own, but with some of the lines from ItPoE, and now lots from ANtR and even the opening accoustical guitar in TCOT ... well, I'm surprised.

All in all, even though it was less than 2 hours, I'd rank it right up there with all of the previous DT concerts I've seen.  Can't wait until next summer when they're back, and they better come back to Toronto - it was a packed house... I'd say at least 6000-7000 people.  Almost the entire seated section had people.

I wasn't aware of there being much backing track, but I know quite a few things (maybe even all those examples) are triggered from JR's keyboard.

I know what you mean about liking every aspect of the performance to be live, but if it's only for a couple of small things (like intros) then I don't really mind, and DT's willingness to use them live means they won't feel constrained to simple song arrangements when they're writing the songs in the studio.

Otherwise, great review! :D I love how they always play Rush songs in Toronto, and even when their set is shorter they still squeeze it in!

I'm not bothered by it, just surprised.  It's not the backing vocals, but the voice samples like the Doctor in ANtR, and the line in Voices "I don't wanna be here, 'cause of my suffering", the "wait a minute, hold on" from TtT... stuff like that.  I would've thought MP could pull those off as well.

I love this side of Dream Theater.  When I was just getting into them, my friend was always talking about how they'd go off on jams, play three-hour shows, cover random songs just because they could, or how the bass player tackled the singer.  Just these little live goodies that are worth the price of tickets.

THE CAMERA EYE?!?!?

The *only* song from Moving Pictures that Rush has not played on their tours in the last 10-15 years and DT does it. YIKES!

This will DEFINITELY be on a YtsejamRecords release, and as I've said before, it'll probably be on the bonus stuff for whatever Rush album DT covers, as picked by Mike. It'll be alongside the other Rush covers that weren't on the recently released Uncovered 03-05 CD, which were Jacob's Ladder and A Passage To Bangkok (from their other Toronto dates on previous tours).

With them covering this, I wonder if it's less likely that MP will pick Moving Pictures to cover. I still say they'll cover either A Farewell To Kings or Hemispheres (as I don't recall them covering any full song from those albums, but I may be wrong...).

I've said it before and I'll say it again: although a more "classic" Rush album would be nice, the lack of keyboards is noticeable, and therefore I say anything from Signals > Hold Your Fire should be covered. I mean, for Number of the Beast, it was easy for Jordan to double guitar riffs, but there isn't a lot of that in Rush... Personally, I'd vote for either Signals or Power Windows

Power Windows, definitely.  If there's one thing you learn about DT from their Rush covers, its that they always cover songs Rush doesn't seem to want to play, like The Necromancer, 2112 Finale, By-Tor (not since the Vapor Trails tour, anyway), Jacob's Ladder, and now The Camera Eyes.  However, Power Windows wouldn't be a very popular choice.  Every other cover album they've done has been a sort of "breakthrough" album, except for Made in Japan, so I think Moving Pictures would be the album they cover.

Hmm. You may have a point, though personally I'd argue that Master of Puppets isn't really a breakthrough for Metallica (I'd give that to The Black Album). A guy can still dream though...

They transitioned right into TCoT after TCE.  This show was closer to 2 hours I believe.  I didn't check what time they actually started, but ZPZ was done at about 8:40pm, and I don't think it takes them more than 30 minutes to setup the stage.  I was pretty stoked, as I knew we were going to get something a little extra since they were starting earlier than 9:30.

As for a Rush cover, they've done quite a few things from Moving Pictures already - Red Barchetta on The Working Man tribute, YYZ bootleg(s), now TCE ... so I can't see them doing this album.  AFtK or Hemispheres seems the logical choice, since (I don't think) they've ever done songs from either (other than many Xanadu teasers).

There's a Dimeadozen user - burnboy - that does a lot of Toronto bootlegs.  Judas Priest/Whitesnake from the Amphitheatre last month is out there, so I would suspect he'll have this show as well.

When that term has been used in the past, it has referred to a faster tempo for the song, usually at double time.  They've done it with Pull Me Under and Metropolis.

Most likely they did it so they could get the hell out of Winnipeg quicker.

Well I have The Miracle and the Speeder version of Metropolis, but that's just called Metropolis (accelerated) on my copy. But if it's even half as hilariously awesome as that, I want to hear it :lol Seems odd that they'd speed up a song in the middle of the set, so that doesn't sound right to me.

When they've done PMU "warped" in the past, they go into double time during the second verse.  Sometimes it takes JLB by surprise.  :biggrin:

this kinda makes me mad about the 'cool' surprise at new york city haha. sure you can cry never enough, but im jealous that toronto gets like a 2 hour set with a rush cover, and we got a shortened metropolis with dweezil coming to jam for like 2 minutes

Shortened Metropolis?  I don't remember it being short and I remember the jam lasting over 5 minutes and was really awesome.  My only complaint was the show was shorter overall than other PN shows.

i remember them cutting to the instrumental break after the first chorus, instead of the second

OK, I was wrong.  I didn't even realize at the time (probably cause I was drunk).  I however, would rather the jam than a Rush song since I am not a huge Rush fan.

Title: Re: The Dream Theater Tour Dates & Setlists Thread (UPDATED 05/04)
Post by: Global Laziness on August 19, 2009, 01:28:34 AM
I know I'm nearly a week late, but here are my thoughts about the Montreal show (also posted in that thread):

Right off the bat, however, I have to say that we made it onto Jordan's iPhone! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WohhaUZYs_U (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WohhaUZYs_U)

I bussed from Ottawa to the Montreal show with setrataeso, ZachyDou, Space Invader, and another friend. By sheer luck, we stumbled into Dream Theater doing a signing at the HMV on St. Catherine's and were one of the last people in line before they cut it off. From 0:50 in the video and onwards, you can see me (tall, long hair, grey shirt), setrataeso (tall, black hair), and ZachyDou (shorter, glasses). We were excited to be on the iPhone but we totally froze when she asked if we had messages. So embarassing. :facepalm:

Not having known that Dream Theater would be there, I didn't have anything for them to sign, so I bought a copy of Awake (my favourite album). I had to laugh at Rudess signing for the girl in front of us. She was in Montreal on holidays and although she wasn't a Dream Theater fan, she decided to pick up a few CDs to get signed for her friends back home in Italy. Not knowing anything about the band, she bought Images and Words, Awake, and Falling into Infinity and asked them to be signed. When it came for Rudess to sign them, he paused and then exclaimed "I'm not on any of these!" and she started blushing like crazy.

I got to shake each of the band members' hands (except for Mike, who gave me props) and I took a picture of each of them. I asked Jordan to do his Prime Cuts face (see below), but he seemed baffled when I tried to explain it. He told me my request was too complicated and that I was holding up the line, so I ended up just taking a normal one. I'll post pictures from the whole night later.

(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/6d/JordanRudessPrimeCuts.jpg)

The show was, of course, incredible. It was my first time seeing Dream Theater live, and it was totally worth the trek. Zappa Plays Zappa were phenomenal and I thoroughly enjoyed the other two bands as well. I share a lot of setrataeso's opinions, particularly those about A Nightmare to Remember, Solitary Shell, and The Dance of Eternity. I had been staying away from the forums as much as possible so that I could keep the setlist as secret as possible, and let me say that I was absolutely stunned by them playing The Dance of Eternity and One Last Time. They were the biggest and best surprises of the night for me given how much I love both of them and how rare they are to hear live on their own. The setlist did seem short, but I would have picked TDoE/OLT over Erotomania/Voices anytime.

While As I Am was a bit of a disappointing closer (mostly because it works so much better as an opener), they more than made up for it with a great performance of The Count of Tuscany as the encore. Portnoy actually kept the crowd waiting a little longer than usual so that he could conduct for the fans as we could belted out the famous "Olé" chant that has become synonymous with Montreal and the Bell Centre. After the encore, hearing him honestly say that we were the best crowd of the tour to date was a great way to end the night. We met up with Blind_FaithX and one of his friends after the show to chill for a bit, and then headed back to Ottawa the next day.

In short, it was definitely A Nightmare to Remember!

I think we might.  Here are the last two setlists from the bay area:

2007
1. Constant Motion
2. Panic Attack
3. Blind Faith
4. Scarred
5. Surrounded
6. The Dark Eternal Night
7. Keyboard Solo
8. Lines In The Sand
9. The Spirit Carries On
10. In The Presence Of Enemies
----------------------------------------
11. Schmedley Wilcox

2008
1. In The Presence Of Enemies Pt. 1
2. Beyond This Life
3. Misunderstood
4. Forsaken
5. Never Enough
6. Erotomania
7. Voices
8. The Ministry Of Lost Souls
----------------------------------------
9. Medley:
I. Metropolis, Pt. 1: The Miracle and the Sleeper
II. Learning To Live
III. A Change Of Seasons: The Crimson Sunset

Beyond this Life, Erotomania and Voices are being heavily played this time, but I don't think we'll get them since we had them last year.

If I had to guess, I would put this setlist up:

1. ANTR
2. AROP
3. Hollow Years (extended)
4. Prophets of War
5. TDoE
6. Sacrificed Sons
7. Solitary Shell (extended)
8. TCoT

9. Metropolis

I would be very happy with that setlist.

A Rite of Passage
Keyboard Solo
Prophets of War
Dance of Eternity
One Last Time
Solitary Shell (extended jam)
In The Name of God

Not bad.  I will be seeing them in Milwaukee tonight.  I hope they replace Prophets of War with Voices or Sacrificed Sons.  I'd love to hear ITNoG, though.  Only heard it once live. 

I am guessing they'll swap in Voices and Erotomania for Dance of Eternity and One Last Time, since many of us midwestern guys hit two or three shows when they tour (MN, IL and WI).  I'd love to see:

Nightmare to Remember
A Rite of Passage
Sacrificed Sons
Erotomania
Voices
In The Name of God
Count of Tuscany

And to add, Brakkum, I am pretty sure I was standing next to you outside before the doors opened. You were talking to a guy with a beard, if I recall

hmmm, yea i think that was me!

Did Petrucci have some issues with his guitar right at the end of the very first solo into the full band entrance (The Count of Tuscany part 1)?

Post by: SystematicThought on August 22, 2009, 10:27:29 PM
I don't think so. I thought it was just an effect.

There was a point during the Solitary Shell jam that Mike looked like he was in deep thought and began to look around side to side quickly, then was normal again

Post by: ResultsMayVary on August 22, 2009, 10:36:58 PM
The part i meant was right at the end of the solo where he bends down to the pedal board and then the camera flashes back over to him playing but no sound. Then he stopped and pumped his fist like he screwed up. Then he started playing with sound this time and continued on with the song.

The part i'm talking about starts at 1:00. Watch Petrucci and listen.

Other than a few varying songs, that's been the setlist for the entire tour thus far.  In Chicago I would guess they'll swap out Erotomania and Voices for The Dance of Eternity and Take The Time (who knows).  You'll probably also get Solitary Shell and maybe Sacrificed Songs instead of Prophets Of War.  Since it's Chicago hopefully you'll get nine fulls songs plus a couple solos/jams.  When DT left the stage Mike Portnoy said "Come down to Chicago tomorrow night to see us for a different set," so I guess we'll see.

That's what i was expecting anyway (a different setlist in Chicago). But i'm thinking it may be similar to the Minnesota show. If it's not similar to the Minnesota show, then we may get a new song or two for this leg.

Not to mention their one-off Rush cover, and the Zappa Metropolis thing.
And this is just the first PN leg. I'm sure there will be plenty more surprises for when the regular tour comes around. ;)

+1.  Last tour they came back again for a second leg, and they played a completely different set (maybe one or two songs were repeated, and they were both of their new album at the time).  I wouldn't get too bent out of shape over it folks.  Next time around we'll probably get to hear everything else we wanted to (between the two shows, anyway).  

I hope the Chicago show is a good one.  They usually play an extra song or two for them, so I'd hope they'll throw out 9 songs, coming in at just under two hours of material (we got 1 hour and 40 minutes exactly).

Oh, I forgot to mention, Portnoy came out and played a song on the drums with Big Elf, and that was after and ran out with a tambourine and danced like a goofball on stage while they played.  It was hilarious!  And during the main show Rudess took his wizard hat and held it over John Myung's head without him knowing.  John just kept jamming on his bass as the crowd laughed and roared.  Good stuff!  They were much more energetic and goofy this year than the last tour, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

chicago was my seventh show i've seen. and also the worst. JLB was spot on, but the setlist can't be salvaged. nothing pre-sfam? can we dump this 3 hours of opening dogshit and go back to real tours?

high points: jlb, all 3 new songs, itnog
low points: the naptime scheduled in between these, particularly ss and extendedSS.

Well, for all pre-Rudess stuff, on the European leg I saw Voices, Erotomania, Caught in a Web, Hollow Years, and a Medley with Metropolis, LtL and ACoS.

And last time around I got Surrounded, LitS, and a medley including Trial of Tears and LtL.

Plus on that leg they played the entirety of I&W at a couple of shows.

Agreed.  I do not think that setlist was bad, though.  I liked ours better in MIlwaukee, but I would have loved to have dumped Prophets of War for something like Solitary Shell or Sacrificed Sons.  This is the first year I haven't gone to both the Milwaukee and Chicago show, and I am regretting it (In The Name of God - I WISH).

Speaking of dumping the opening bands, is that a decision that Road Runner makes, or can Dream Theater chose to not have openers?  I'd guess it's the former, but I don't know for sure.

It's 100% up to Dream Theater.

Even if they cut back on the number of openers people have to start to realize that Dream Theater will NOT go back to evening with tours until they feel up to it again.

I hope it's a special show since it's the last one on this leg.  Also LA is a major city so that boosts its chances.  12-step suite, possibly?

If not then I hope we get Erotomania, Voices, Hollow Years, and Metropolis.

Is anyone posting from Denver tonight?

They already have Australia and New Zealand dates (no opening info though) so i would expect Asia/South America dates next. :metal

I hope it's a special show since it's the last one on this leg.  Also LA is a major city so that boosts its chances.  12-step suite, possibly?

If not then I hope we get Erotomania, Voices, Hollow Years, and Metropolis.

[/quote]

A one-off cover would be a nice way to give LA its due respect.   

AA-suite is NOT happening this time 'round.  Erotomania and Voices were played on last Prog Nation tour, so probably will not make the cut.

Sorry, but what do you mean by a "one-off cover"?  I'm a little confused...do you mean a one off-cover?  As in, a bootleg song?

EDIT: Also, do you have any solid evidence they won't play the 12-step suite?  It would seem to me that the setlist length is the perfect time for A Nightmare to Remember to open, then the 12-step suite, with TCoT or Metropolis as an encore.

They wouldn't dedicate a whole PN show to the 12 step suite. It's too much new material that's not on the setlists to learn for a one off show, and they wouldn't want a setlist that limited.

A one-off cover means a cover song that they just play as a one-off (e.g. the Rush song they played in Toronto)

I was there, it was a perfect vocal performance by James.

Sound wise there were some spots where the guitar was a lil drowned out or vocals at various places but man, this being my first Rock concert, me and my brother were floored.

It was electric , they were on fire, they played from their F%#king hearts!

Really good set.  How was the sound?  I generally hate that venue, soundwise.  What did your dad think of the show?

Sound was really good.  We were on the balcony on JP's side of the stage in the top row, but we moved to the edge of the balcony since no one was there, and we were able to stay there the whole time.  Excellent vantage point for pictures and video, as you'll see later when I post them.

My dad loved it.  He would have preferred knowing more of the songs (his fault though) but he had a great time. 

I really like the setlist, although I probably would have preferred Metropolis instead of ITNOG, but I still like that song. 

JP is human.  During the last high pitched volume swell right before he goes into the "This is the end" theme, the rest of the strings on the guitar decided to swell too, and he had to redo it.  Everyone was still on the top of their game, however.  James struggle a couple times on the high notes on ITNOG, but he has improved dramatically since I first saw them on the TOT tour.  He may be off a note here or there, but it's much better than being consistently flat like he used to be.  Very good show.   :metal
Title: Re: The Dream Theater Tour Dates & Setlists Thread (UPDATED 05/04)
Post by: bosk1 on August 28, 2009, 09:39:32 AM
On balance, I rank Metropolis higher than ITNOG.  However, between live releases and actual shows, I've seen it so many times, in so many different versions that my preference of the two at a show would actually be ITNOG. 
Title: Re: The Dream Theater Tour Dates & Setlists Thread (UPDATED 05/04)
Post by: BlobVanDam on August 28, 2009, 09:42:14 AM
I'd love for them to play ITNOG here. Since we got the PMU/Metropolis medley last time, and As I Am, I'm thinking ITNOG is probable. And ITNOG and As I Am are my two standouts from ToT, so I'd quite enjoy that :hat

Post by: perfey on August 28, 2009, 03:23:55 PM
There has been some really great set list this PN tour, much more varied then their previous incarnations. I wonder how the band feels playing POW and ITNOG, it must feel great to have such variety of songs to play. I wonder what Black Clouds song they think is the most fun to play yet, but Im sure its all three of 'em.

Whoa Fiery winds, I was on JP's balcony side! I was the third section in, 5th row. Me and my brother were one of the few people that were standing on the balcony. :sadpanda:

Words can't express how good the performance was. This was my third time seeing them and I was still dumbfounded at how talented they are. During the Solitary Shell jam, I couldn't decide who to watch! They were all so damn good! Oh and James was spot on. During ITNOG a few times I was blown away at how much power there was behind the high notes.

The sound was actually very good from where I was. Mike's bass drum was loud as fuck which made it even better. :tup The only problem I had was that the keyboards were way too low in the mix during some of the jams.

Yea, nine songs.  Stinks they got two songs from SC.  Would have probably been cooler if they just did ITPOE Pt. 1 instead of CM and POW since they played it in Europe, but not in the US.

I think, but I can't remember clearly. I was boozed.

It was kinda odd.  The Imperial March came over the loud speaker and a couple of fully costumed characters (Obi wan, stormtroopers, etc) ran on the stage swinging their sabers.

End of tour goofiness I guess.  It was fun.

That sounds awesome.

So why does MP say NY is getting something special and then LA gets something REALLY special?  I would have muich rather had last nights concert than the one in NYC from the sound of it.

Here's the video of Vai, Petrucci, Dweezil and Jordan rocking out!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0U3D-V7LoaQ

Must have been really awesome to have witnessed live!, very cool jam. I like how the three guitarists are tapping it out when suddenly a keyboardist comes and rocks their socks off I was like: Where is Jordan? and then he comes out after Vai's first solo, its great haha.

It feels strange somehow that the tour is over, but soon they come over to us!, its gonna be great. I look forward to what songs they're going to play too, hopefully some old songs they never played in a while ; ).

I think they'll fit in many dates elsewhere until March/April for the U.S. so that it was be decent weather outside when they play outdoor venues.

Very true, then I'd imagine that they would go until June/July then recording studio again in the fall 2010... maybe

I've been really curious as to what the consistency of PN will be. I would love to see one every year, so far so good.
Although I hope the not amazing ticket sales in MN this year don't give a bad impression to promoters.

PN only lasts a month, so if they took a month off from the World Tour, they would do PN in June, and still be able to write/record starting September. However, if they continue to do a PN in Europe, that probably won't happen, unless they can write/record in a matter of weeks

I don't know about PN 2010 because MP said in a recent interview that he wasn't planning on doing it annually. I think it's the audio interview from Philadelphia, but if it isn't that one then it was one released around the same time.

I couldn't see the balcony, but there was a big block of seats in the back of the main floor that were empty.  I was a bit worried when I saw them as well.  Hopefully, it won't sway decisions for the Spring '10 tour.

I don't think they'd abandon Minnesota, they have been here many times, one concert that wasn't completely sold out won't sway them. Plus, this was Progressive Nation. Not everyone cares about it because its DT for 90 minutes

I'm not very certain Progressive Nation is becoming a staple in normal DT tours. It's not like every single DT tour is going to get its Progressive Nation leg. It's a cool idea granted, but I would find it really weird if it became a staple in normal DT world tours.

I dont know really since it becomes the first time I bootleg a show but it will probably be a lot of noise and so, but I got my fingers crossed and hopes for the best.

Me too, It would be really cool to see ANTR, followed by either AROP or Wither and the 6:00, man, that would be epic and the crowd would go nuts. I really look forward to see the BC&SL songs too, I think ANTR will be a really good opener and then I cant even imagine how epic TCOT will be.

Yeah, I think I posted it before, but I'm hoping for something like this:

2. 6:00
3. Prophets of War
4. Sacrificed Sons
5. Wither
6. The Dance of Eternity
7. One Last Time
8. Take The Time (abridged)

Yup, they didn't come to Finland at summer and it was still radically different from the 2007 Helsinki show. I liked all the songs although I would have liked to see an I&W song as well. But I saw Erotomania/Voices instead :smiley: I'm actually hoping that Learning to Live would be the "I&W song" this tour even though I wouldn't be able to see it.

Opeth was something like:

Hex Omega

There was maybe one track more somewhere in the middle and I'm not 100% about the song order...

Post by: Zydar on September 26, 2009, 01:42:42 AM
Yeah, they linked Lie directly from The Mirror, and then reprised it at the end of Lie.

My personal highlights was Sacrified Sons and In The Name Of God - I did NOT expect to see those two :metal

Yeah, the show last night was really really awesome, I thoughtfully enjoyed it. The only minor thing that could have ended the DT:s set was the TDOE-trainwreck like Zydar said. I missed Unexcept but watched rest of the show. It was really cool to have been the first audience to see Wither, it was a majestic song and very heartfelt, I assure you. Expect a review coming up soon (when I get home to Karlstad) with audio recordings from Bigelfs, Opeth and fucking Dream Theater! :metal.

I was standing on John Myungs side and had a complete view of the scene, I am really happy that I went to the show, even if I didn't get any friends with me, because if I hadnt went, it would be the biggest regret this year.

Thanks, that's some really nice photos. You seemed to have a great view from there, I was really surprised (& thought it was really cool) when they began to play The Mirror right after ANTR, + Lie. I thought James was spot on the whole night and he looked cool in his black coat. IT is really a big difference to see him live, then hear and see him on a crappy YT-clip or recording of some sort.

Oh god, not another DT fan who doesn't like loud crowds... Like I've said before, nothing pisses me off more than a crowd that just stands there and watches. If you're gonna do that, you might as well just get a concert DVD and watch at your house. The whole point of a live show is to get into the music, not to gripe about how the people around you won't shut up.

Ask any rockstar out there and they'll tell you that they hate nothing more than when a crowd is dormant. When the crowd is like that, the band has to energy to feed off of, you know what I mean?

Post by: 2Timer on September 26, 2009, 02:06:42 PM
I haven't missed a DT tour since '97, and when I'm there, especially when we're lucky enough to get seats close to the stage, I'm anything but dormant. I do sing along sometimes myself, but to myself. I don't try to kid myself into hearing that the band can actually hear my voice over what they have in their monitors (especially now that they're always right in their ears).
And I don't hate the crowds, especially at DT shows, because it's like you have this deep connection with everyone you talk to. I love the crowds, I can just do without people singing the songs at the tops of their lungs. It's their right to do so and I understand that, I just don't like it.

Any gems so far from the Mikael Akerfeldt stand-up routine?

In Oslo he said:
"Hi, we're from Sweden" (expecting boos :P )
*Chrowd cheers* Åkerfeldt looks really suprised.
"From the Scandinavian capital....Stockholm!"
*Crowd goes booooo* Åkerfeldt is happy  :lol

The crowd singing along like that is awesome.  I've always been disappointed that DT crowds don't do the "take the time" harmony in that song (if they did it, no one in the band would even have to sing it, as it would be a perennial crowd sing-along song).  Stuff like is what makes concerts great.

All of this.

And Akerfeldt can do a stand up act when he's done with metal. I swear to god, I can go to Opeth shows just to hear his banter the dude's so damn funny.

The setlist we got in Stockholm was indeed amazing, was cool to have been the first audience to see Wither too. Opeth was good and Mikaels anectdotes and jokes were funny.

Who cares what other sites think? All that matters is if the fans sitting in that venue enjoy it. :hat
Looks like a pretty good setlist to me, although I usually prefer more songs to a few longer ones. But luckily there are no songs I dislike in that list at all, so I wouldn't mind that setlist.

80 minutes? Let's see...

ANTR, AROP, James speaks: 25-27 min
HY: 9 min
Erotomania, Voices: 17 min
ITNOG: 15 min
Encore break: 5 min
TCOT: 20 min

Adds up to 90 minutes (give two or three more) perfectly.

I didn't know Hollow years was so long. Also, encore break was only about minute or so long when I saw Dream Theater few months back.  :-\ Also, TCOT is actually 18 minutes, so there you go - take out two minutes of TCOT, make the encore break shorter for about four minutes, and you have some extra time to put in Prophets of war, Constant motion, or something.  ;)
Title: Re: The Dream Theater Tour Dates & Setlists Thread (UPDATED 05/04)
Post by: BlobVanDam on September 30, 2009, 10:59:07 AM
Hollow Years is longer live, because they do an extended solo section (longer than on Budokan, I think), so it is several minutes longer than the studio version. And TCOT is actually 19 minutes :biggrin:
Maybe they could have squeezed in another song, but if the intermission was so short, perhaps they had to cut the intermission short to finish on time (not sure if the venue has a curfew)? Just a thought though. I could be way off

I think it's a pretty cool move that they're playing The Mirror/Lie instead of Erotomania/Voices; technically, the latter are the best songs (IMO), but for one thing, I don't think they've ever played The Mirror/Lie nearly enough, and they've played the hell out of Erotomania/Voices over the years, and to be honest, I feel half cheated when they do that and they don't play TSM.

Well, I fully agree that they've underplayed some things, which is why they should just be playing Lifting Shadows Off a Dream.

I mean, I prefer One Last Time, but my biggest issue would just be what a cock tease that has to be live. I have not heard it yet, and the show I saw where they played TDoE they played OLT, but just imagine...

DUH DUH DUH-































Nothing...
Dude, they didn't do the transition like that on Metropolis 2000, they just ripped into a huge chord to end the song. Just as powerful IMO.

I wouldn't worry at all about that. With shorter setlists and longer songs, they can't fit all that many songs, and MP likes to vary setlists with different songs to what the region had last time. When you consider that the BCASL material on that setlist takes up about 50 minutes of a 90 minute set, you can see how it could end up being an entirely Jordan era setlist, especially when JR's albums cover 6/10 of their total albums now.

Any gems so far from the Mikael Akerfeldt stand-up routine?

In Oslo he said:
"Hi, we're from Sweden" (expecting boos :P )
*Chrowd cheers* Åkerfeldt looks really suprised.
"From the Scandinavian capital....Stockholm!"
*Crowd goes booooo* Åkerfeldt is happy  :lol
Last night the only ones I remember were:

MA: Do you think I'm funny?
*crowd cheers*
MA: ... fuck you.

And something along the lines of...

MA: We played our first international gig here in England, at the White Horse in High Wycombe.
*crowd cheers*
MA: Shit gig.

Opeth were great too...shame they didnae play White Cluster tho, which I really wanted to hear...Mikael was a great frontman as usual.

Ah well, Manchester was ace anyway. Plus I was busy with Porcupine Tree on the tenth (who were STUPIDLY good). At least we got In the Name of God.

Just back from the Glasgow show ... I think the set list was

1. A Nightmare to Remember
2. A Rite of Passage
3. Hollow Years (extended)
4. Erotomania
5. Voices
6. Solitary Shell
7. Take The Time
-------------------------
8. The Count of Tuscany

Think that was it ... hope I've not missed anything =p. Awesome set list :D

EDIT: Oh, there was a keyboard solo in there somewhere ... I think it was either just before or just after Hollow Years

manchester had a far better setlist than wembley for me. still a killer show tho

percussive nation and prophets of war was better than SS and ITNOG for me to be honest. TSCO... no, but hey we can't have it all :P
I just saw it. Awesome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0H9uBsmuAk

My favourite part was with the Bigelf drummer, they really got the groove going.

Well, Wembley rocked, for sure, but IMO Manchester just pipped the set-list with Sacrificed Sons, TSCO and ITNOG. That drum solo shambles was an affront to humanity - I know there are loads of people who love drum solos, but then there are loads of people who love Ronan Keating - it doesn't make them right.

Porcupine Tree were great at Hammersmith, but there was no atmosphere towards the back of the stalls - I don't like all-seater venues for rock shows. As a result DT just edged it.

Dream Theater in Glasgow were simply awesome. James' vocals are the best I've heard for awhile. Only complaint I have was we got Hollow Years. That's their only song that I just can't get into. The Count Of Tuscany to finish. What a performance. Hope they are back again real soon. An evening with would be good but I can't see it happening.

Opeth were ok, saw better shows from them. I was impressed with Bigelf. Unexpect, well they just reminded me of Cradle Of Filth.

Hurry back DT  :metal

Opeth kicked ass in Glasgow.  I kinda ditched DT after the first song because I went to meet Opeth at their bus.  A guy I was with used to get guitar lessons from Frederik so he phoned ahead.  Was an awesome experience.  We just chatted and smoked :hat

Post by: robwebster on October 14, 2009, 08:31:55 AM
Ha! I was hoping for Bonnie the Cat cause it was my favourite from disc 2, but seeing Remember Me Lover live has REALLY helped it click, so I'm pretty happy I got that instead. Amazing song. In fact the whole album makes a lot more sense now, I didn't "get" disc 1 at all pre-gig but now I love love LOVE it and it's a top three PT album. Russia On Ice would have been nice though - just for that heavy last section!

Really nice venue too. Insanely posh, I felt a bit out of place.

Well, Wembley rocked, for sure, but IMO Manchester just pipped the set-list with Sacrificed Sons, TSCO and ITNOG.

I guess Manchester was a pretty good setlist... but I mean, aside from the staples, Manchester got...

A Rite of Passage, which I'd seen once before.
Sacrificed Sons, which I'd seen once before.
Dance of Eternity, which London also got.
One Last Time, which I'm not hugely bothered about.
Spirit Carries On, which I'd seen once before.
In The Name Of God, which was on my wishlist (although I'd seen the midsection in Shmedley, but still!)

Whereas London got growls on ANTR, The Mirror/Lie which has been on my wishlist for YEARS, Prophets of War which I really wanted to see, Take The Time which I really wanted to see, and Percussive Nation which sounds pretty neat.

So while Manchester is GRAND on paper and was really fun to watch, it's a bit gutting to log on the next day and see that all the songs I really wanted to see this leg (bar ITNOG) were played a day later, compared to a lot of repeats. But still, Manchester was a brilliant gig and I'm glad I went, PLUS if I went to London I would have missed Bristol Tree, so I'm not too bothered! I'll catch the others in future I'm sure.

Yeah, that's the thing - the grass is always greener. I LOVED Wembley, then I logged on Monday morning and saw what they played at Manchester and Glasgow and it kind of took the shine off. Serves me right, I suppose - that's what you get with bands with rotating setlists. I should be concentrating on what they played, not what they didn't.

Still, roll on the 2010 dates...

i hope that we get TCOT again on the headlining tour.  it was a fantastic encore and great addition to the catalogue.  if i had to guess though, it will probably be replaced by TSF.  i also imagine that the glass prison will become a regular.  these walls would be an awesome inclusion to the set, and i wouldn't be surprised given the lack of octavarium songs on the PN09 tour (though it may be more likely that the root of all evil will come into the set).

personally, i'd love to hear under a glass moon reintroduced rather than metropolis, and while unlikely, it'd be cool to have TSCO come back.

oh, and if we're really dreaming, i'd wet myself if we got ACOS in its entirety.

They should bring back some WDADU songs, like The Killing Hand or Only a Matter of Time.

They still haven't done anything for the Awake anniversary yet, so I'm looking forward to seeing if anything happens.  Would love to see 6:00, Lifting Shadows, or Silent Man.

And of course, SDV although there's a 99.9% chance that will never happen.

Also, why does everyone doubt the 12-step suite?  They haven't done a DVD for this tour yet, so I think it's highly probable.

Post by: Nick on October 22, 2009, 04:55:06 PM
My girlfriend would be very upset.

Reason being is that When Dream and Day Unite is in general pretty underrepresented, and The Killing Hand is not only my favorite on the album, but it's been an awesome live tune on every tour they've done it. The other cool thing about it is that James always seems to nail that song. I oft criticize him for his performance of WDADU material, but he always does that song so well.

And I just think SoC is their best instrumental, so it should get some love. Not to mention it's the only song on ToT not to be played since that tour.

They're just more rockin' live and more accessible for most audiences. For good as Erotomania and Voices are, The Mirror and Lie have much more "anthemic" rock song vibe going on.

Kevin Moore had written PMU effected by "Hamlet". Here is the section end of the song;

Act-I/Scene-II

O, that this too too solid flesh would melt,
Thaw and resolve itself into a dew!
Or that the everlasting had not fix'd.
His canon 'gainst self-slaughter! O God! God!
How weary, stale, flat and unprofitable,
Seem to me all the uses of this world!

Does anyone else think it would be a better setlist move to switch The Count of Tuscany, now usually in the encore spot, with the song right before it, which is usually something like ITNOG, As I Am, or Take the Time, so that the older songs would be the encore?  I think part of what made my first DT concert so memorable was that Metropolis was the encore, and to see a classic DT song like that in the last spot was amazing.  TCOT's good, don't get me wrong, but I think an encore song should be something loved from the back catalogue.
Title: Re: The Dream Theater Tour Dates & Setlists Thread (UPDATED 05/04)
Post by: TAC on October 28, 2009, 03:15:41 PM
Sky, I don't disagree with what you are saying, but if you were lucky enough to get ITNOG & TCOT in one show, it wouldn't matter what order they were played in.

DT has done this before, right, using ITNOG as the last song on most of the TOT tour.

in maryland, we got the return of ITNOG, and the encore of TCOT, and they worked really really well in their positions.  ITNOG is a fantastic song, but the encore of TCOT, particularly the end where everyone is singing, is a much better way to close the show.
Title: Re: The Dream Theater Tour Dates & Setlists Thread (UPDATED 05/04)
Post by: SilentFox on October 28, 2009, 04:18:47 PM
I think that certain songs should be expected, such as ANtR, RoP, and TCoT, but I think it's best when the encore is a surprise.  My suggestion would be to keep ANtR and RoP as the top two, TCoT as the closer, and have the encore best something that changes frequently, instead of having a set encore.
Title: Re: The Dream Theater Tour Dates & Setlists Thread (UPDATED 05/04)
Post by: cyberdrummer on October 28, 2009, 07:31:39 PM
It was best in 2005, when ITNOG was the closer for the first set in London. Then TSCO and LtL for the encore.
Title: Re: The Dream Theater Tour Dates & Setlists Thread (UPDATED 05/04)
Post by: Perpetual Change on October 29, 2009, 03:59:59 PM
I've seen them both as closer and I've got to say that I think Metropolis left me with a better feeling at the end. Tuscany is great but it's best to end with a song that EVERYONE loves if you can. I'm sure 95% of DT fans love TCoT but everyone seems to think Metropolis is amazing.
Title: Re: The Dream Theater Tour Dates & Setlists Thread (UPDATED 05/04)

I like having TCOT is the encore if just for the fact it's unexpected. It's so common to have the old favourite as the encore, but it's cool seeing them break the tradition and do something different.

Yes, that's true, they do break the tradition.  However, my point is that while it was unexpected at the beginning of PN09, it has become routine and predictable, save for a few shows that had other encores.  I think an encore historically is something that is supposed to be a surprise, not something that should be expected.  It would be interesting to see them mix it up more often.
Title: Re: The Dream Theater Tour Dates & Setlists Thread (UPDATED 05/04)
Post by: BlobVanDam on October 30, 2009, 12:50:20 AM
Well the encore has not been a surprise for any band for a long time, because it's now obligatory rather than a true surprise.
Many bands play the same encore song, so I have no problem with them using the same song every show, I just think it's just cool that they're not following the standard, and it's also good to see them have so much faith in their newer material.
Title: Re: The Dream Theater Tour Dates & Setlists Thread (UPDATED 05/04)
Post by: SilentFox on October 30, 2009, 12:52:13 AM
Speaking of encores, has they ever had a double encore?
Title: Re: The Dream Theater Tour Dates & Setlists Thread (UPDATED 05/04)
Post by: BlobVanDam on October 30, 2009, 12:53:32 AM
Well they've played multiple songs as the encore, but I assume you mean play an encore, leave the stage, then come back again for a second encore? Not sure that they've ever done that, but hopefully someone can give a conclusive answer on that.

To me, the Train Of Thought tour was THE BEST tour by any band in the history of music. It was Zepplinesque!

I totally agree with you. I checked out the setlist of the ToT tour here in Quebec and Montreal and they were the best they've done here. And as I can see, it's pretty much this everywhere they've been.

In fact I'm still very jealous to everyone who's had the chance to see Sacrificed Sons and In The Name of God on PN. I enjoyed the setlist we got a lot too, but compared to some others, especially Stockholm, it turns out pretty pale... Though One Last Time was a bit of a reward. ;)

Anyway, setlist was:

A Nightmare to Remember
A Rite of Passage
Hollow Years
Rudess' Solo
Erotomania
Voices
In the Name of God
The Count of Tuscany

After Voices there was also funny short interlude. Some dance music started playing and all the other PN bands came on stage and danced for a while before DT started playing ITNOG.

I wouldn't at all be surprised if we got TDOE / One Last Time since that's been on the master setlist this tour. I think they'll probably again want a good mix of every era, and if they play anything from SFAM, that will most likely be it.

Here are a couple of interesting answers from a recent interview with MP (https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=7573.msg236165#msg236165):

"FROM NATALIE GLADKAYA:
When you’re playing complicated drum patterns, why do you sometimes hit yourself on the head? Also, is there any chance of Dream Theater bringing back ‘An Evening with Dream Theater’ format for your live shows? And have you considered doing any more acoustic / unplugged shows?


    I don’t know why I hit myself in the head, I’m starting to think maybe I should stop - I’m fearing a brain aneurysm coming on! And yeah, it’s very possible that the ‘Evening with...’ format will come back in the future. We needed a break from it, but now having had that break for several years, it may make sense to mix it up and bring it back. With the acoustic shows, I never say never, it’s possible. I’m not much of a fan of the whole unplugged thing- it’s kinda cliche and every band does it. We did some shows like that back in the late nineties and it was fun, it was different, so I never say never but right now there are no plans."


FROM DAVID FITCH, BRAMBLETON, VIRGINIA:
Is there any chance you will be putting out a Progressive Nation DVD?


    I would have liked to have, but no, it’s not on the cards. This album and tour cycle will be the first without a DVD, but I think that’s ok, I hate always doing the same pattern or the same formula.


And this  :lol :

FROM STEVEN LUCAS, LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK:
I assume that an octavarium, and being ‘trapped inside’ one, is a way of describing the helplessness of having to adhere to and obey the rules of music theory, and that despite the perception of creative freedom, one is not truly free in that any melody he or she may compose will unfailingly consist of a series of the same twelve notes, in a veiled metaphorical allusion to the real confines and limitations of daily life. Am I correct?


    No.

If they were planning to shoot a DVD I'd say open with The Glass Prison and run straight through the 12 step sage.

Since they won't they probably won't play the saga this time around, so I'll say open with These Walls. Keep Petrucci behind the curtain again as he plays around with the intro and tunes the guitar, then he can start the riff as the curtain starts to come down. Once the curtain hits the floor it will be time for the entire band to kick in.

Eh, it's dedicated to Bill W - obviously it's not a part of the suite but to say that it's lyrically unrelated would definitely be wrong. That's a strong connection, you don't often dedicate two songs to the same fictitious figurehead. I think it's fair to call the Twelve Step Suite a spiritual successor to it, and as it's several times bigger it's not unfair to consider The Mirror as a kind of prelude.

I reckon it's a strong enough thematic link for it to be justified. Although obviously it's definitely not a part of the suite, it's spiritually in the same vain.

We've gotta stop meeting like this :lol
This. While there are some very loose connections, the fact is that it is NOT part of the 12 step suite. IF they decide to play it, they can do it somewhere else in the set. Metropolis pt 1 was played after playing SFAM, and not before, and that has a lot more connection than The Mirror does to the 12 step suite.

I haven't read any official word that The Mirror is connected to the 12 step suite in any major way, and until then the opinions of a few fans doesn't hold any weight.

The 12SS is a story about a major part of MP's life.  Looking at the lyrics of The Mirror, many of the themes hold consistent.  I don't think The Mirror is part of the 12SS, nor do I think of it as a prelude persay, but it would be ignorant to say the two are unrelated.

My dream is that the next tour is indeed the evening with format. First set is mixed and the second set should be The Mirror + 12 Steps.
To further the dream, I hope that they do a two night stint in Boston and the second night do one of the album covers, hopefully something new and hopefully something I like.

Over the course of the last two months, we've gone from people saying "There will definitely be a NA tour in spring with definitely 1-2 opening bands", to "There might be a tour, and it might be Evening With."  Not to mention speculation that there would be a DVD to definitely there won't be.  Seems like the economy (and other factors) are really shaking up DT's plans (and the fans' predictions).

Definitely worked out well. It was just about the right time in the set for it since after OLT and TSCO there was a need for something like that. But I didn't think they'd end up playing it because there'd be no room at the start or then end of the set with all the mandatory songs they'd need to play for their first show in New Zealand. How often has AIA appeared not at the opener or closer of a set?

Hmm, just looking down the Song Count, and this has probably been brought up before, but has a Song Count ever been figured out for their whole career? MP has most set lists on his site doesn't he?

That setlist is exactly what I was expecting for the Australian shows. Did they play One Last Time with TDOE, or just TDOE?
Hopefully Sydney's setlist won't differ too much from that. I can't wait :tup

I thought the Australian shows were going to be around 2h. Or was I mistaken? It seems like around 90 to 100 minutes.
Also wanting a "new song" even though I won't be the one to witness.

I was there. Probably the only person in the wheel yellow shirt (now signed by MP and JP  :biggrin:). EPIC EPIC EPIC and awesomely good show. Shame JR's riffer didn't work but he made do without. Was sad to see the B rig but it was awesome nonetheless. Crowd was fantastic. DT was on fire (metaphorically). Perfect setlist. Perfect show. Surprised MP didn't talk after the final bow. PoS were also awesome - hadn't listened to any of their stuff before and was plain mesmerised. Their sound mix was a bit off with not enough keyboards but this was very clearly ovepowered by that brilliant singer.

It was good to see a relatively full room by 830. It didn't look like it was sold-out but very near capacity.


Thank you DT for a night/day to remember that involved car accidents whilst travelling between clinics and signings to an awesome awesome show.

So who was at the Sydney show? I wonder if I saw anyone from here. I was at the meet n greet, in case anyone else was there.

I was there my my young bloke - we were looking around - reckon he was the youngest there (8yrs).  We were on the side concourse.  From last to this year I believe no one song was repeated.....completely different setlists.

The sound was *amazing*.

Also I said to the young bloke now if James lets an F-bomb rip we don't repeat it okay.  Half way through the night he says dad James hasn't said anything at all to the crowd.  The one time he does...f-bomb lol.

Brilliant night.  Very healthy crowd - and great enerygy as James said.  Let's not foget Robbie Fowler was in Sydney with the Fury playing against Sydney FC, also some car race thing with Chisel playing over at Homebush.  So for all that, it was more than 3/4 full.

When Dream Theater travel to certain countries, they'll take less equipment to keep the costs of transporting all of their gear down. That is their B-rig, which you'll spot by MP's smaller drumkit (with only two bass drums instead of three), and JR using one of his older, lighter keyboard stands, and a much less fancy continuum stand. The A-rig is of course their full rig that they'll use for places such as the US.

It's obvious that DT are burned out. Look at the set lists for Australia, not much different than the 90 min Prog Nation, pretty much rotating the same songs around with a few differences.

However, DT have been plowing through this decade non-stop, I mean 6 studio albums, and tours ever year is just sick in this day and age. It's time for a break - and a well derserved one. And we are still getting a new DT instrumental!!!

They have had major accomplishments, that no band with the level of complex prog/rock/metal music and pretty much zero radio or video support has really ever attained. 

DT deserves a long break. I would say just take all of 2010 off. Maybe 2011 as well.

Early 2012, start writing for the next album. Take your time. Break the formula of the past several albums (long opener, ballad, 'hit', long songs, and closing with an epic). Break that mold. Throw it away. 

In other words: PROGRESS.

Take most of 2012 to work on this, release in late 2012 or early 2013 and hit the road again in 2013. It will be fresh, the fans will be hungry. 

That's right, I'm recommending 3 years off the road for DT. People won't forget them.

So what are the chances of a South American tour? I'm pretty sure it's been mentioned by MP.

It's obvious that DT are burned out. Look at the set lists for Australia, not much different than the 90 min Prog Nation, pretty much rotating the same songs around with a few differences.

What do the set lists in Australia have to do with being "burned out?"  I don't think you know what you are talking about.

I don't agree that they're 'burned out', but I am surprised they didn't add a couple of different songs to the mix in Australia.

I think that's a risky move. Not just that people will get into other bands in the meantime and lose the will to watch DT again (believe me, I know how it is to forget about a band because it took a long break), but DT will have to dig deep down and realize how to make progressive metal in their own style.

Well, I don't know if Mladen meant this, but I think that DT's work from 1989-2002 was very unique, and their "own style"; something I have a hard time comparing to other bands.  Since then, I feel they've tended to drift more sound-wise to one side or the other regarding their influences.  Personally, it's a lot easier for me to point to a song on the last couple of albums and say "that sounds like band x" than it is for the first 6.

I know I'm a little late to the best setlist of the tour party but I just wanted to say that idk what the best setlist of the tour was, but the best moment of the show I went to was in TCOT. That final minute with the crowd singing along to the "whoaaaaa"s and the animation on the screen, it was perfect. Easily one of the best moments of any concert I've ever been to.

A bit of both I think. Let's be honest, the sets haven't been that different show to show throughout the whole tour, at least since PN started in the summer (the first European leg was a bit more exciting).

But I suppose the point can be made that the people at the show probably won't be going to any other. It's only boring for us, the people who scrutinise every setlist. :lol

I wasn't expecting it. They've had at least one instrumental on each set, and it's one that flows into another song (Erotomania/Voices, TDOE/OLT)

If you have Raw Dog,  you can't have anther instrumental, and you can't have Voices without Erotomania or OLT without TDOE).

Being that this was a two-night stand, they got nearly ALL of the mostly-played songs on the setlist rotation! The only ones missing are "Take The Time" and "Constant Motion", played at other dates on this leg. Anyone hopeful that these two shows might make a good 2-Disc YtseJamRecords release next year? It's about 140 minutes of music (and they have have two performances of the opening and closing songs to choose from!), and if they REALLY wanted to, throw in TTT and CM as "bonus tracks" from other nights on the SA Leg, making it about 157-160 minutes, just enough to fill two CDs!

Together though, they add up to 35 minutes, so it's a nice chunk of the set. I actually expected one of those cover sets they did before when they did 2 nighters

Yeah, a YtseJam release of two shows with those set lists would be cool, but not likely as Mike have said that there are not going to be any DVD-recordings this tour.

I didn't say DVD... I said CDs, which would be easier to do (just get a good mix from the soundboard) than a DVD recording. And it's a good representation of what they have been playing on this tour, including mash-ups and extended versions of songs.

That's not the FIRST time this tour they've done those songs in that order, is it?

I was quite happy to see them play "The Dance Of Eternity / One Last Time / The Spirit Carries On" back-to-back for a couple shows on this leg. That's gotta be the first time those songs have been played together in awhile, right?

Speak for yourself. We have been waiting for four years for another concert, and when they finally come, they play the silent man in a setlist that is less than two hours long? I'd break their hands. Although I think I would still go nuts with hapiness even if they played only vacant, through her eyes and through my words.

Anyone knows why the heck they are playing setlists that short?

I was merely pointing out that it's a strange combination. It's one thing to do TDOE/OLT/TSCO, but going from Erotomania/Voices> TSCO just doesn't fit. I was saying that The Silent Man would be a better choice for flow

At first I didn't think they'd put that in a setlist for Maiden fans, but the more I think of it, at this point in their career, I think they would play pretty much anything they want, without fear that the headliner's fans won't love it. It definitely shows a more melodic side of the band, which I think Maiden fans might actually appreciate.

Some of them are longer than that.
The Curitiba, Brazil - 3/18/10 show is about 110 minutes.

It really all depends on the closer.
That Curitiba show has all songs (Mirror/Lie counted as one song) except for AROP that are 10+ mins.

Correct! The first show is on April 17th, in Downey, CA at the Downey Theater (where Mike has recorded with Amazing Journey and LTE). Great venue from the looks of those shows/concert DVDs, and I hope the folks out there are ready for what promises to be a great show! As for the rest of TA, Neal has a couple west-coast performances just before the TA tour, so I'm sure the band will be out there doing their warm-up rehearsals before the first show. Roine is finishing up some writing/recording for the next Agents Of Mercy album. And Pete? I'm not exactly sure what Pete is up to, but I'm sure he's getting ready too lol

And as for the rest of DT? I think JMX, JLB and JP are all off to do their respective solo/side-project albums. Jordan might end up doing something too... like what? I dunno. Maybe we can convince him to record an album using all his gadgets!  :lol

Question.. seeing DT for first time with Maiden in June. What kind of setlist should I expect for them as the opener?

I'm pretty sure everyone here is speculating on what DT will play when opening for Maiden. With only 50 minutes, you aren't going to get anything too mind-blowing. But DT doesn't disappoint live.

I think 50 minutes of DT for a DT virgin is going to be mind blowing even if its not a long set lol

My first show was during Prog Nation 09, and the set was only about 70-80 minutes. But, it was awesome, helped out by a bunch of great opening acts.
If you like Maiden as well, this will be a good show for you.

They didn't last tour...
Im not familiar with Iron Maiden's setlist rotation policies, so I couldn't tell you if theres a chance they would play it or not.

If they play a track from Brave New World I'd say it's a good chance it will be that, all a matter of how much reunion material they play or not.

Considering it's going to be a catalogue-spanning tour, I'd say we'll see either "Brave New World" or "The Wickerman" on this tour, although I'm leaning towards the latter.

Fair enough.
Also a thought...Dream Theater and Iron Maiden are playing as part of a special music festival in Ottawa (it's an annual event with hundreds of acts and dozens of big names) that was just recently announced. Dream Theater comes on 6:45 but Iron Maiden doesn't come on until 9:00. 50 minutes would only take us to 7:35, a full hour and a half before Iron Maiden. Anybody else think that Dream Theater might end up playing more than 50 minutes?

Well, they are still opening for Maiden. But, I think in this case, this is more of a co-headlining show.

Gold Circle Seats lads. I don't know how many rows will be "in front of" the A.D.D people who can't seem to sit still in their camp chairs but I won't be there. I'll be in front of them, with my exclusive port-a-crappers just for me, and a bar just for the gold circles folks too.

This will be a new one for me.

I've seen DT's "evening with show" with the intermission. I've seen them co-headline with QR. And I've seen them at....what I would call a "club show" when the played Ottawa last time.

Never seen them open for someone else.

The DT headlining shows are the ones where DT is playing with an opening band, and Maiden is not playing.  The DT only denotation is in fact incorrect, as Maiden later confirmed they were playing that festival as well.

Yeah it's a Festival. It funny, because in French it's called 'Le Festival d'été' which means 'The Summer Festival'. Don't know why they call it The International Quebec Festival :lol
Oh, who else is playing? And are Dream Theater and Iron Maiden getting full sets?
We have quite big names this year. Iron Maiden, Dream Theater, Rush, Rammstein, Carlos Santana, Billy Talent, Black Eyed Peas, and many more. Every band I named will surely play in front of 100 000 people. It's ridiculous because the pass for all the shows costs 40$. SO basicaly everyone in the city has one and comes to the big shows.

I'd so go to that if it was possible

I'm following a guy on twitter who is at the show.
I apologize if he is wrong for some reason, but according to him, this is the setlist so far:

1. As I Am
2. A Rite of Passage
3. Home
4. Constant Motion
5. A Nightmare to Remember
6. Pull Me Under

This has to be wrong...

NOTE: He may be wrong as he apparently is only a casual DT fan (ex: he called Constant Motion "In Constant Motion")

That set looks pretty right actually and seems fitting. The only song that seems odd there is ANTR, just too long for IM fans.


But it confirms my lack of desire to see them this tour.

Because obviously it isn't the real setlist. Scotty said that they wouldn't play ANTR and any new songs. I'm still not sure of what they really played. Maybe they played a shorter version of Home, because if not, they played for 60 minutes.

So you can bet you'll see ANTR

No you won't.

I don't doubt it. While I never got confirmation, I believe that Home was the song that was the missing track in my setlist guesses.

Now that the first show is over and nothing else has been posted by anyone who was at the show, I will post what I believe was played tonight (barring Home, which may very well be incorrect and the song order may be incorrect):

As I Am
Panic Attack
A Rite of Passage
Home
Constant Motion
Pull Me Under

Those 6 songs add up to 52.6 minutes in iTunes, and with a little tightening up/editing, I'm sure they could get it down to 50 minutes.

I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure PA and ARoP were reversed.  Home was fantastic, although no talkbox.  PMU was anticlimactic.  Honestly, though, I thought they played with a lot more energy and enthusiasm than they have in the past.  This short set was a better performance than any of the 90 minute ones they've done in Dallas the last few years.

ARoP was second on the setlist.  It was astounding.  The middle section got the IM stoner standing next to me to start yelling "Fuckin' A!" at the top of his lungs.  

I agree that the intensity with which they played was high.  If their intention with this tour is to pick up some metal fans, I think they're going to succeed.

I hear ya. Drop the last five tracks (Fear of the Dork onward) and put some stuff from SiT and SSoaSS that they should've played on the last tour! Do gotta say that it's cool that they're not going the nostalgia route and only playing one or two tracks from the new one, and nothing but old classics. That said, they need to drop those last 5 for several years and play some of the older more obscure tracks that are just as good if not better.

Yeah, I'm pleasantly surprised with Maiden's set. As much as I would love some classics on my first Maiden, the 2000's era stuff will be cool to see.

DT's is not overly expected, though Home certainly came out of left-field. Looking forward to it. Only As I Am and AROP were played at my last show, so the others will be cool to see. Although if the rotational setlist policy is in effect for this tour, then the next few shows will open up the song possibilities a bit more.

We'll see a lot more songs for the headlining shows!!! I'd be perfecting happy with the current setlist plus 5 or 6 more songs they have been playing over the last tour. Can't wait for July 2nd in Columbus!  :metal

You know, after looking through the Maiden set list once again, I have to say that's it a very solid one. Blood Brothers is meh, and I need to be in the mood for No More Lies, but the rest is all good stuff.

For anyone who hasn't seen, this is Iron Maiden's set:

The Wicker Man
Ghost Of The Navigator
Brighter Than A Thousand Suns
El Dorado
Paschendale
The Reincarnation Of Benjamin Breeg
These Colours Don't Run
Blood Brothers
Wildest Dreams
No More Lies
Brave New World
Fear Of The Dark
Iron Maiden

The Number of the Beast
Hallowed Be Thy Name
Running Free

The significant lack of 80s Maiden makes me  :sadpanda:  Nothing from Piece of Mind, Powerslave, Somewhere in Time or 7th Son???

Powerslave got 4 songs last tour, Seventh Son will get time to shine next tour.  I'm glad they went back and revisited the post-2000 catalogue, as I was very afraid many songs would not see the light of day again.

Same here brudda. I thought I had missed my chance to see Paschendale.

Understatement.  That's a pretty full shed for an opening band.  And from the quick pan out to the lawn,  it looked like there were plenty of people out there.  Maiden generally seems to attract a more loyal following, so that helps. 

Houston will be a better crowd tonight.  Which is exactly where I'm off to.   :metal

I'm just curious because the Ottawa Bluesfest slot they have is about 2 hours or so. 50 mins for set + 25 mins for break between the two bands leaves a lot of room...but nothing has been said about that show being an extended set.

Rockin' DT set right there. I think the setlist is good for the audience they're playing to, which is a metal audience. How was the crowd reacting to DT? Was there lots of movement, pits, and that sort of stuff that a Maiden crowd is known for? Or did they save that for Maiden?

And I like the Maiden set too. They've toured enough with their older stuff, it's about damn time they stopped playing all old songs and focused a tour on their latest stuff. I was scared they'd become into a nostalgia act. i'd have liked to seen The Trooper in that setlist, a Maiden setlist doesn't look right without that song.

The Maiden crowd really seemed to dig DT.  The pit was doing a bunch of jumping around and so forth.  There were actually more people that showed up for DT than I thought there would be.

I'm looking forward to seeing IM and DT live in July.  While the DT set isn't blowaway, and there is virtually nothing they're playing that I haven't seen already in the two shows I did see them at, it will nicely fit the crowd.  I am also quite impressed with IM resisting the temptation to do another classics tour like they did in 2008-9, and are instead focusing on the post-reunion material.  However, I do wish they had brought in a few songs from the 90's, especially the Blaze era which Bruce sang amazingly well.  Still though this should be great--especially since I get to see Paschendale live (which I missed b/c their DoD N American tour was limited to two cities).

I would suggest getting the latest three albums, Brave New World, Dance of Death, and A Matter of Life and Death, because they are awesome.

If Maiden only played their more popular songs, they'd become a joke: a tribute band to themselves.  Imagine if DT only played stuff from I&W, Awake, and SFAM.

Well when I saw Metallica they played songs only from Master of Puppets, And Justive For All, Kill Em All, Death Magnetic, Black, and Ride the Lightning. So pretty much the popular songs.

For what it's worth, Paschendale and DOD both had their own backdrops, so that won't be a permanent change.  I'd suspect an A and B setlist like Rush is doing.  Brighter, on the other hand, I'm not sure about.  Maiden has been known to switch out a song after the first night or two.  Considering the whining a lot of people are throwing out about the setlist, it wouldn't surprise me if Wrathchild stays in.  I certainly hope for y'alls sake that they keep playing Brighter, but I'm not sure. 

In the end, Nick has the right idea.  Seeing them twice covers the bases.

Apparently not.  I hope they don't drop it.  I'd love to see it.  However, Wrathchild hasn't been played on an extensive NA tour since 2000, so I don't blame them for switching it, because BTATS got out in 2006.

Don't really need to be a fan to like DoD. Paschendale, Dance of Death and Journeyman are three of my favorite IM songs... kind of hope they switch out Wrathchild with Paschendale and do both of those songs.

I have absolutely no idea.  I remember some of the backdrops quite clearly, and others are a complete blur.  Complicating matters is that while the themes of the backdrops were the same as past tours, the artwork was very modernized.

Not really. They did not last night when they played their IM setlist plus several other songs in order to fill two hours worth of playing. The only thing that might change is the extra songs added on the headline dates that MP might change around.
For instance, last time DT played Columbus, they played Constant Motion and Panic Attack. I can see MP switching those two out for possibly The Dance of Eternity/One Last Time and maybe another song.

Yeah I know they played basically the same set as the IM shows with a few more songs. What I meant was whether their set for the headlining shows will be the same. You're probably right about switching out one or two songs though. Next month can't come fast enough.

The concert last night in Auburn was fucking awesome. Except we missed As I Am, AROP, and the first couple minutes of Home because of a snafu with what the venue allows inside. We could still hear from outside though.

We were in the pit, not too far from the stage, just in front of JM. Everybody in the crowd got pretty pissed when they stopped at Pull Me Under though.  :sadpanda: A longer DT setlist would've been preferable, or DT coming out and playing a song with Maiden. Still a great show though.

I concur, it was one fucking hell of a show. Even with DT's short setlist, I thought they put on a great show for what they had to work with. I was relatively close, about 8 rows from the pit. Maiden's setlist was a complete surprise to me since I avoided any and all spoilers, and my god what a setlist. The lights and the stage production were top notch as expected.

i'm afraid I cannot agree.  The metal fans near me were trashing Dream Theater and ruined the entire mood for me.  I also missed the beginning of DT show for different reasons...my fault for not realizing how bad traffic would be.  I'm not really a Maiden follower, but I did enjoy a few of their licks....except that their sound was totally messed up and hurt my ears.  DT played loud, but it wasn't painful.  Even an older Maiden fan who has been to most of the west coast shows on this tour said Maiden's sound has been messed up.  He said, "It's totally jacked up...it shouldn't hurt like this!"  Basically, this is the last time I'm going to see DT open for a metal act....unless it's Metallica.

Maiden hasn't sounded very good since they started using 3 guitarists.  (Although, you could also say they haven't sounded good since they added Gers.)
Title: Re: The Dream Theater Tour Dates & Setlists Thread (UPDATED 05/04)

I wouldn't go that far, but Gers needs to give Adrian his solos back, especially Hallowed Be Thy Name.

DT got a very good reception in T.O.  I'd actually mark it as similar to what Rush got headlining at the Molson Amp in '08.

And Maiden were fucking awesome.  :metal


A note about the P.A.: I felt that the reason DT sounded better than Maiden was the noise level.  DT was quieter, and sounded much more clean and crisp.  It seemed to me that on quieter parts of songs Maiden sounded equally good, like the intro to Blood Brothers or Ghost of the Navigator; it was only when the noise level got higher that the sound started to get very tinny and distorted.  Another thing: it seemed to me that the guitarists got less clear to the right.  Dave sounded perfect, Adrian was somewhat muffled, and Janick was very static-y.  Oh well.  It was a great concert anyhow.

We were hoping for a long show in Ottawa, but alas, we got the short set:

As I Am
A Rite of Passage
Home
Panic Attack
Constant Motion
Pull Me Under

Spectacular show, though, although it was retardedly hot. The Ottawa Bluesfest was an outdoor event, and at its hottest, it was 34 C (93 F) with a humidex of 44 C (111 F). Keep in mind that this is Canada.

But despite all that, we still managed (to quote MP on Twitter) the "biggest/best crowd of the tour so far..."

The bass was up too high for the first couple of songs.

Yeah it was pretty fantastic. And we were right up front, so it was pretty brutal. It was a good 10 degrees hotter in the middle of the crowd.
DT didn't suffer from some of the sound problems that IM did though. The first three songs, the guitar was non-existant in the mix. And there were a few mic problems throughout the set.

But despite all that, we still managed (to quote MP on Twitter) the "biggest/best crowd of the tour so far..."

hey setrataeso...were you in on that water bottle fight? It looked histerical from a distance..like it was snowing plastic water bottle.....we'd all cringe when we'd spy the occasional FULL one in flight.

Nah. I was up close for DT, but Space Invader and I moved farther back for Maiden, cuz we were getting pretty uncomfortable in the crowd, and my back was killing me.
I could see the water bottle fight from a distance. My buddy Ouda got hit in the head with a full one.

No he didn't. He would have, but I caught it at the last second and got a round of applause from the people around me haha. Some other guy right beside got pegged HARD though.

In regards to the sticks, it was hilarious. JP came up to MP during JR's solo in Home was egging him on to throw them as high as he could. MP didn't have much luck catching them, though. Later on, MP motioned to one of his techs offstage, threw the stick to him, and got him to throw it back so that he could catch it and keep playing. He didn't make that one either, though.

I'd also like to point out that I've been to two Dream Theater shows, and Mike Portnoy referred to both of them as the best of the tour (last year in Montreal he told the crowd, this year in Ottawa he said it on Twitter). And for those wondering, the Ottawa Citizen newspaper was estimating 30,000 people at the concert.

In reference to the "best show of the tour" comment: I noticed that as well. It's probably because we were there. We add a lot to the crowd energy, what with the sexiness and the knowing-the-lyrics-and-pretty-much-every-other-part-of-the-song-by-heart and whatnot.

Yeah, we rock.

Question, do the Maiden shirts have DT on them?
??? Why would they?

Because there are some bands that, if that section of the tour as a specific opener, they have that section with the openers. Also, bootlegs have the openers usually. Might have to look for one of them. Then I can have one with IM, DT, and the date.

I have never, ever seen such a thing.  Merchandise is their main source of income, I find it hard to believe that they would split that with an opening band.

I went to three different booths and they only had one style of DT shirt(which I bought) but then later on there was a guy in front of me with a different one from this tour. It had all the dates on the back and something in blue I couldn't make out on the front....I was envious...I woulda bought that one too.

I have that t-shirt you are describing. I bought it at the Newport Music Hall show in Columbus last Friday. I'm not sure if the fact that show was a headlining show that it had anything to do with the merch for DT.

I got both of those :)  The one with all of the albums blended is easily the most amazing shirt I've ever seen.


Setlist for July 14th in Pittsburgh was as follows:

As I Am
Rite of Passage

Constant Motion
Panic Attach
Pull Me Under

I was somewhat critical going in on the setlist, but after seeing it twice I have to say it was pretty much perfect. Everyone reacted well to everything, and it all worked better than Mirror/Lie would have, and even though I would have preferred other material I did really enjoy Panic Attack and Constant Motion this time around. Pull Me Under got a *really* good reception, which I wasn't expecting.

Come to think of it, I think the reason the next DT album feels so far away is because there is really no more DT stuff to forward to in the meantime.
There's no live album or DVD coming out in the next year, so there's nothing to tide us over for the next year and a half. (Aside from side and solo projects...)

Indeed, and correct me if I am wrong, but, not counting "Raw Dog", this is the first year since 2000 in which there was no officially released DT material, be it studio or live album or concert video (and actually if you count 2000's "Through Her Eyes" single, then it's the first year since 1996). Kind of a bummer, and at this point with MP on the road with A7X, I doubt he'd have time to work on any YtseJamRecords releases for this year (although anything in time for Christmas would be AWESOME, perhaps a BC&SL Tour highlights CD? Or more soundboard shows from the past?).

That is, without a doubt, the worst DT setlist I've ever seen.

I'd agree more with Hef than BRGM on this one.

Any chance either of those shows were filmed and or at least recorded for audio? I can see one of these being turned around for a YtseJamRecords release, at least an Audio CD. With a setlist like that, it can't be any longer than 70-75 minutes long, perfect for a single CD. It would be a good way to release all four of the songs from BC&SL that have been played live in the last year, as well as the as-yet-released-live "Prophets Of War", and a medley that hasn't been released yet (unless I'm wrong and it has and I just don't remember because I'm REALLY tired).

Give me a Japan 2010 CD by year's end and I can wait 6-8 months for a new DT studio album!

Apparently it was this for both dates:

1. A Nightmare To Remember
2. A Rite Of Passage
3. Prophets Of War
4. Wither
5. The Count Of Tuscany
-----------------------------
6. Pull Me Under/Metropolis


That's a pretty kickass set.

Pull Me Under/Metropolis was released on the Romavarium fanclub dvd, but I don't think that really counts as an official release.

The first half of the set is wasted time, and the closer is that infernal mash-up.  So, 2 decent songs out of 6.

If the set were longer, the bad wouldn't have seemed quite as bad.  But man, oh man...

Now that's a good setlist. Wouldn't have minded that set for Maiden, cut Wither to make it shorter

Very odd set list. Four songs from their latest album, one track from Systematic chaos, and two I&W classics mashed together. I wouldn't mind seeing this show, though...

That's an awesome set. It gives the Japanese a real taste of BC&SL. At least they didn't miss out on TCOT. It'd make a great Ytsejam CD

Indeed it is odd to have played so many new songs, but there's a couple things to consider - it was the last set of the tour in support of Black Clouds & Silver Linings, so I'm sure they were likely to play at LEAST three of the four songs they've been playing from the album, if not all of them.

Also, I really do think MP chose the set to eventual release because why else would they include a song like "Prophets Of War"? It's an odd choice and they could have easily played "Constant Motion" or "Panic Attack" or any number of other songs in the 6-8 minute range, but instead they chose a song from Systematic Chaos that hasn't been released live yet.

The set was also under 80 minutes long, enough for a single CD release. And with no planned full-length album release this year (live or otherwise), I'm sure it'd be easy to mix and push this album out by year's end through YtseJamRecords (perhaps with one or two other releases! I could only hope...).

Maybe I'm just being a conspiracy theorist and/or a bit paranoid but it just seems like the perfect set to release as a live documentation of this tour and songs that were played on it for the first time (everything in the main set, actually, was played for the first time this tour). I will keep hoping...

I hope you are right M. But it could also simply be tailored to the japanese who didn't get a tour nor did they get POW last time.

True. It could just be a coincidence, but it could've been by design, but only MP and the rest would know...
