So anyway, I got to thinking about the setlist for this thing and was about to write some complaints but after thinking about it some more I realize there isn't much to complain about. Of the songs not yet on an official DVD, there are sound reasons for omitting most of them:
The Count of Tuscany & A Nightmare to Remember: too long to include in the set
The Shattered Fortress & The Best of Times: very much "Portnoy" songs
A Rite of Passage & Wither: pretty underwhelming songs on the whole that few will miss
Repentance & Honor thy Father: see point 2
Prophets of War, Never Enough, You Not Me, Burning My Soul: see point 3
Misunderstood: more of an "album" track than a live must-see
Space-Dye Vest & Take Away My Pain: either of these could have been included instead of TSM or WFS
The Mirror & Lie: again, could have been included instead of the SDOIT tracks
These are on a Bootleg DVD only:
The Glass Prison: another Portnoy song
The Great Debate: could have been included instead of TDEN or WIMH/TTTSTA
Hell's Kitchen: they used the time for a drum solo instead
So basically, there are only 4 songs without a proper DVD version that I would have preferred over TDEN or WIMH/TTTSTA - or they could have been played just 1 of the nights instead of TSCO or Surrounded both nights. I wouldn't have minded another Erotomania/Voices, Learning to Live, or A Change of Seasons but they are all on the Live Scenes DVD so I'll have to live with that.
