-Would you like it to at least start out as "evening with" shows?
YES
-If not, who would you like them to tour with?
Come back for a 2nd leg after the initial "Evening With" tour and make it a "prog metal festival" of sorts and bring along, REDEMPTION, SYMPHONY X & the NEW Queensryche! That'd make for a helluva show:
Redemption - 6:00-6:40
Symphony X - 6:55-7:50
Queensryche - 8:05-9:15
DT - 9:35-11:00
-How many new songs would you like to hear?
Assuming there's 8 tracks on the new cd, I'd say play 5 on first leg, 2 others on 2nd leg and keep one for next tour cycle
-How many of the rest of their albums would you want to be "represented" on the next tour?
EVERY album on the "Evening With" tour and completely different songs on 2nd leg!
-Which songs would you like to see brought back?
1. Anything from WDADU (preferably one of the 3 I still haven't seen live yet - "Status Seeker", "Light Fuse And Get Away" or "OAMOT" which Ive only seen in medley form)
2. Take The Time, Surrounded or Learning To Live (Love the others but just so tired of them)
3. Voices (NEVER get tired of that one)
4. A Change of Seasons (hey, one can dream they'll pull this out again - haven't seen it since 2004)
5. Absolutely ANYTHING from FII (although, as great as they are, I'd rather some rarely played FII songs then LITS, HY, & TOT). I could REALLY go for seeing "You Not Me", "Take Away My Pain" (electric), "Peruvian Skies" (long time since I've last seen), "Anna Lee" or "Hell's Kitchen".
6. Home & ESPECIALLY "Through Her Eyes"
7. The Glass Prison!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
8. In The Name of God!!!!!!!!!!!
9. Octavarium!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
10. In The Presence of Enemies pts. 1 & 2
11. Wither (haven't seen it performed live yet - ONLY reason)
12. Lost Not Forgotten or This Is The Life
13. The Bigger Picture, Behind The Veil, Surrender to Reason (I haven't seen these 3 performed yet)
-Which songs do you absolutely NOT want to hear this time out?
Again list as many as you want.
well, there's a LOT and for many various reasons, most of which are NOT because I dislike the songs:
Pull Me under, Under A Glass Moon, Wait For Sleep, Another Day, anything from Awake aside from Voices, Hollow Years, Trial of Tears, Finally Free, The Spirit Carries On, The Dance of Eternity, anything from 6DOIT aside from The Glass Prison or About To Crash (reprise)/Losing Time/Grand Finale, As I Am, Vacant, anything from Octavarium aside from title track, anything from Systematic Chaos aside from "....Enemies" or possibly "The Ministry of Lost Souls", anything from Black Clouds aside from "Wither", anything from ADTOE aside from "LNF" or "TITL, anything from DT12 aside from The Bigger Picture, Behind The Veil or Surrender to Reason
I'm more interested in seeing songs that A) I haven't seen performed live, B) songs that haven't been played since '04-'06 & C) are raely played live, than seeing "popular songs" repeated during tours!
