Will Dream Theater ever play (X song) again?
« on: August 15, 2012, 08:46:44 PM »
I realized they havent played this masterpiece since the 2004 Train Of Thought Tour. And I think it would sound awesome with Mangini on drums, dont you think?

I don't think anyone knows for sure, but if they did pull that out it would be amazing!

MM would play it exactly like Portnoy, not sure how he would make it sound awesome or at least any more awesome than Portnoy. I assume it would sound essentially the same.


Will they play it? I dunno. Maybe in a few years. But for right now they seem content with Ytse Jam as the only instrumental.

Hahah, how much $?

No money. I only take payment in the form of DT playing SoC live. So, as soon as they do it, I will tell you exactly when they will play it.

If they do, it will never be soon enough
I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

IMO, they have a lot of other instrumentals that could be played over SOC.  maybe an edited version of part of another instrumedely would be cool though.

Ytse Jam.
Erotomania.
Hell's Kitchen.
Overture 1928.
The Dance of Eternity.
Raw Dog.


I wouldn't say that's a lot, but it's enough I guess. I would love for them to play Erotomania or Overture 1928. Although it will suffer from the same thing I'm not allowed to complain about anymore.

Don't forget Eve, which I know they will never play.

Agreed... it's exciting to anticipate a brand new set list for the next tour  :biggrin:

Assuming it's all new. I think the only "new" song we got on the US tour that wasn't played on the European tour was LNF. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Orion....that's the one with a bunch of power chords and boringly harsh vocals, isn't it?

I think TITL was new as well.

Boobs are a perfect representation of the universe.  They are circles within circles.  What is the single most common shape in the universe?  Circles.  When I look at boobs, I think of the big bang.

Poor choice of wording on my part... I just meant a different setlist, hopefully very different than the ADToE tour (just for the sake of seeing a lot of different songs live since I've only seen DT once).

Does anyone else foresee any ADTOE songs becoming a concert staple, or at least having a song representing it on the next tour? Breaking All Illusions could become a staple as an encore or a pre-encore closer, although This is the Life could become a staple in the vein of The Spirit Carries On, since they have similar vibes.

Sure. I love it, it's one of my favourites from SC. Though I have to say that I highly doubt that it will happen.

Still, a guy can dream, can't he?

I love the song, but it doesn't need to be played live. It seems much more suited for a CD than it does a live setting.

Plus Flying Colors is playing it, so DT playing it now would just be confusing at best and confrontational at worst.

Is that a serious statement or I fail to see some sarcasm?

It is serious, of course not from every point of view does my statement work. However considering all the emotional back and forths, the song's subject etc, it makes sense.

However it's not my main reason for saying No. My main reason was the part you deleted.

The first half would be ok but I would fall asleep during the boring second half and I don't know how they would handle the spoken word parts - samples or nothing? Besides, if Scarred and The Great Debate don't get much of a reaction from the audience, I'm 100% sure Repentance wouldn't either.
