[Madman Shepherd]

So, is this, like, fan fiction?

[Darkstarshades]

So, is this, like, fan fiction?

This happens in the alternate universe where Raw Dog is played live.

[mikemangioy]

Holy shit 

[Evermind]

Well, the whole thing is too over the top for me, but this one made me laugh:

4.- A Nightmare to Remember (With extended ending solo)

[Stadler]

So, is this, like, fan fiction?

I'm telling you, this is how "Fifty Shades of Grey" started.   

[hefdaddy42]

I certainly hope I never have to sit through that show.

[BlobVanDam]

This setlist is legitimately better than the one from the last tour.

I've pretty much seen it already.  March 22, 2002, at the Orpheum Theatre in Boston.  Myself and three friends were in the first row of the balcony practically hanging over the stage.

First Set:
1. The Glass Prison
2. Burning My Soul
3. The Killing Hand
4. Surrounded
5. Through My Words
6. Fatal Tragedy
7. The Great Debate
8. Another Dimension
9. Guitar solo leading into Scarred
10. 2112 Part VII: Grand Finale
11. Take the Time into a double drum solo with Portnoy and Mangini (can be verified)

Intermission, with a recording of Six Degrees' Overture telling us to get back to our seats

Second Set:
12. About to Crash
13. War Inside My Head
14. The Test That Stumped Them All
15. Goodnight Kiss
16. Solitary Shell
17. About to Crash (Reprise)
18. Losing Time/Grand Finale

Encore:
19. Home
20. The Spirit Carries On
21. Pull Me Under into Master of Puppets

This was the third time out of an eventual seven that I had seen the band, and was by far the longest and best set that they played.  Most of the other times were on co-headliner and Progressive Nation festival dates, so they played maybe half as long as they did on that evening.  I didn't care about the LTE and the Rush song, since they didn't take up too much of the set and I had completely forgotten about them until I looked up the set on setlist.fm.  Had they played those on the Queensryche co-headlining tour or the Progressive Nation shows I would have been pissed because that time would have been better allocated playing their own music.  The Master of Puppets was cool and I liked the fact that they had a graphic on screen of the original album cover only with Dream Theater instead of Metallica in Metallica's classic 1980's font.  Another thing I liked was that there was no Hollow Years (they always seemed to play that song every time I saw them) to be found.  Overall, this is probably the best concert I've ever been to.

You're a crazy person.

[Darkstarshades]

Jeez, I had too much to drink when I made this.
It's still a show I hopefully will be a DVD.

Thank you all people! Awesome ideas too!

[ResultsMayVary]

I got one song into the set and realized that this has to be a joke, but seriously, I feel like I need to contribute my opinion since some others have as well.
