Dream Theater > Concerts and Set Lists
What's your ideal Dream Theater concert?
Zyzzyva17:
If you could choose the setlist for a Dream Theater concert, what would it be? The only rule is that it should be less than 3 hours of music.
Mine is as follows:
1. A Nightmare to Remember
2. Blind Faith
3. Lines in the Sand
4. Ytse Jam
5. Surrender to Reason
6. Far from Heaven
7. Breaking All Illusions
__________________________________________
8. In the Presence of Enemies, Pt. 1
9. Scarred
10. Vacant
11. Stream of Consciousness
12. Take the Time
13. The Spirit Carries On
14. In the Presence of Enemies, Pt. 2
__________________________________________
15. Octavarium
(I went with the "one thing from each album" approach)
Rodni Demental:
Hmm.. While these aren't necessarily all of my favorite songs (some of my favorites have already had decent live coverage), they are among songs that are my favorites, plus songs that I'd particularly like to see live aswell as song's that I feel DT haven't played in a while (and should), but also in a format that would flow well for DT (imo at least) to make my ideal setlist that reflects what I appreciate in Dream Theater at this moment in time:
Opening:
1. Behind the Veil
2. Panic Attack
3. Lines in the Sand (Rotate with Trial of Tears)
4. Breaking All Illusions (Rotate with In The Name of God)
5. The Count of Tuscany
Second Set:
6. New Millennium (Rotate with A Rite of Passage)
7. Constant Motion (Rotate with Honor Thy Father)
8. The Killing Hand
9. Blind Faith
10. Wither (Rotate with Along for the Ride)
11. The Answer Lies Within
12. The Ministry of Lost Souls
13. Surrender to Reason (Rotate with The Bigger Picture)
Encore:
14. A Mind Beside Itself (Rotate with Illumination Theory)
15. *insert Images and Words song here*
That'll make a 2 and half Hour show and most rotated songs are of similar length. :D

Grizz:
First of all, the band would either be in its 1991-1994 or its 1999-2010 layout.
The lights & stage would probably be laid out and programmed in a manner similar to PN09/2010 or the 2011 Europe summer shows. Complex light shows, yet with a theatrical touch of subtlety. And none of that garish spotlight backlight crap, either.
And no click tracks!

Something like that. The orders all messed up and I don't have time at the moment to add up the run times. Sorry OP!
Mostly I'd just like to hear You Not Me, Misunderstood, One Last Time, Finally Free and Behind the Veil. As long as those are there I can't really complain! There is so little available as far as live performances of YNM and Misunderstood it should be a crime. Everyone might not like them, but they deserve more play than essentially none. :sadpanda:
