When they played the back half of Awake on the US last tour I couldn’t believe it, I had listened to that quite religiously when it 1st came out, must have drove my parents insane.

Still have songs would love to see them play live; Surrounded being a big one, Bigger Picture as well. Is there a song that you have never heard them play live and would love to see?

Zydar · « **Reply #1 on:** November 07, 2015, 01:53:38 PM »

I've seen them live twice and they haven't played a single song from Images & Words. I'd love to see Surrounded or Learning To Live.

krands85 · « **Reply #2 on:** November 07, 2015, 02:00:45 PM »

Learning to Live
Metropolis
Octavarium
In The Name of God

My top 4 DT tracks and sadly they haven't played any of them at the 3 shows I've been to. Would also really love to see In the Presence of Enemies, A Change of Seasons and Endless Sacrifice.

Doesn't look like I'll be seeing them on this next tour either, so the wait is definitely gonna continue for me

There's not much in their catalog that I haven't seen live, but here's a bunch that I haven't seen yet but would like to: Don't Look Past Me, The Way It Used to Be, Bombay Vindaloo, Barfbag, The Bigger Picture, Wither, Cry For Freedom, A Vision and March of the Tyrant.

I also would love to see any of the other songs in their catalog if they've redone them in a different style (like Surrounded '07 and Caught in Alice's Nine Inch Tool Garden) or added/changed parts of the songs significantly (like Metropolis part I '96 and Learning to Live '05), not to mention a new Instrumedley using instrumental excerpts completely different from the first one.

Ive seen them the past 6 times they've come to Toronto, and they still haven't played The Spirit Carries On, God dammit. 7th times a charm right?

Also, I would love to see The Glass Prison.

That's actually pretty bad luck considering it's like the 6th most played song.

Vacant -> SoC -> ITNOG

And I am still not sure if I would want to hear ACoS live nowadays.

+1 on learning to live

senecadawg2 · « **Reply #8 on:** November 07, 2015, 02:47:08 PM »

Tip of my iceberg: Learning to Live, Trial of Tears and Hollow Years.

But I've only seen them live once. In other words, way too many to choose.

RaiseTheKnife · « **Reply #9 on:** November 07, 2015, 02:59:28 PM »

Cover My Eyes
Disappear

Madman Shepherd · « **Reply #10 on:** November 07, 2015, 04:19:52 PM »

Misunderstood (Saw them on a night when they switched out Blind Faith for this which is what I REALLY wanted to hear but would have rather they played both)
Outcry & Beneath the Surface (I saw them on a night when they rotated that out of the setlist for something else...screw that)

Other than that, I've gotten to hear a bunch of what I've wanted in the 7 or 8 times Ive seen them or songs that I like but don't think would go over as well live.

I would love to hear more WDADU stuff. I think I've seen them play OAMOT and TOWHSTS although the latter I didn't really know any DT so I didnt appreciate it at the time. Also Ytse Jam (yawn) and AFIL

GasparXR · « **Reply #11 on:** November 07, 2015, 04:44:02 PM »

Only saw them on the AFTR tour, so almost anything will make me happy, but I would love to see In the Name of God, Misunderstood, Octavarium, Hell's Kitchen, and Lines in the Sand in particular.

Rodni Demental · « **Reply #12 on:** November 07, 2015, 06:08:16 PM »

Well, the chances of me actually seeing them live are very low as they don't tend to swing by this way. So I just want songs to be played that might make it on to a new official concert release or something. Specifically:
- The Glass Prison
- The Count of Tuscany
- In The Name of God
- Lines in the Sand
- Blind Faith
- New Millennium
- Honor Thy Father
- The Killing Hand
- A Rite of Passage

Wouldn't mind seeing some of the more obscure WDADU stuff like: LFAGA, TOWHTSTS and OAMOT.

Was pretty stoked to see them pull out BMS, PA, CM and Wither as I wouldn't have expected any of those but too bad they weren't represented on a proper live release.

Also, I'm very interested (for selfish reasons) in them filling in the gaps just for the sake of completion. So I'd probably be happier than most if they played You or Me, Don't Look Past Me, The Best of Times or Raw Dog.

TheCountOfNYC · « **Reply #13 on:** November 07, 2015, 08:32:00 PM »

I've only seen them once on the last tour. Of course that means I did see the number one song I wanted to hear live (TDoE) but there's still so much that I haven't heard. My top three that I want to see live now are Octavarium, Take the Time (full version please), and The Spirit Carries On. I'll most likely get TSCO eventually but there's a chance that I may never hear the other two live.

fischermasamune · « **Reply #14 on:** November 07, 2015, 09:08:36 PM »

Hell's Kitchen
Lines in the Sand
The Glass Prison
Blind Faith
Misunderstood
The Best of Times
Raw Dog
The Bigger Picture
Surrender to Reason

KevShmev · « **Reply #15 on:** November 07, 2015, 09:34:58 PM »

I've seen DT 7 times, yet I have never seen Learning to Live. Crazy.

ToT-147 · « **Reply #16 on:** November 07, 2015, 10:38:28 PM »

I saw them 3 times, and they've never played ANY song from my favorite album.. So, that's what I'd ask for: ANY song from ToT, please!...

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #17 on:** November 07, 2015, 10:43:24 PM »

THE GLASS FUCKING PRISON.

pcs90 · « **Reply #19 on:** November 07, 2015, 11:08:33 PM »

Eve, TBP and STR. There are several others I'd love for them to play as well but not sure if James would still be able to sing them accurately (based on fairly recent live recordings of them).

This absolutely!

...and The Glass Prison.

MirrorMask · « **Reply #21 on:** November 08, 2015, 03:21:16 AM »

I see them regularly since 1999 so I was lucky to witness many concerts and hear many treats, included Images and Words performed in full from start to finish.

From the songs I've been missing I wouldn't mind to hear live:

Innocende Faded
Through Her Eyes
Disappear
Vacant
Forsaken
Wither
The Count of Tuscany (top song I want to hear live)
The Bigger Picture (counting on it next tour)
Behind the Veil

Fixed. That would be my number one pick as well. My number two would probably be The Ministry of lost souls.

BlackInk · « **Reply #23 on:** November 08, 2015, 04:34:31 AM »

I would like to see The Root of All Evil. It's not really a favorite of mine, but whenever I hear it I always think "man, this song must kick ass live".

Pax · « **Reply #24 on:** November 08, 2015, 04:39:08 AM »

I never heard ANY song live...

Would love to hear The Best Of Times, because it's beautiful and the ending solo is just epic. But I'm aware it'll never happen. It's a personal song by Mike Portnoy

Also, Octavarium

lonestar · « **Reply #27 on:** November 08, 2015, 12:37:18 PM »

Only two, Octavarium and CoT

BlackInk · « **Reply #28 on:** November 08, 2015, 12:47:49 PM »

Hadn't heard The Best of Times in several years until a few months ago. Still a musically okay track with some of Portnoy's worst lyrics to date. Wouldn't want my time at a consert wasted with that song.

jakepriest · « **Reply #29 on:** November 08, 2015, 12:49:57 PM »

The Best of Times 6:11 onward is amazing. It's just that the 6 minutes prior to that is some of DT's most cringeworthy music and lyrics.

Lol whenever it comes up I basically listen to the intro and after that I skip to 9:50.

Or In The Name Of God.

I've never seen them live though. I've seen every live DVD since Budokan though.

SwedishGoose · « **Reply #34 on:** November 08, 2015, 03:33:42 PM »

I have seen them on eight tours, first was I&W and last was DT12.

The only album that I lack a lot of songs from when I look back at the setlists is Systematic Chaos (had tickets for the tour but was in hospital when they played). Don't really want to hear any of those songs though...

Only album song that I can think about that I haven't heard and would like to hear is Vacant.

So pumped that they are playing TA in it's entirity. Seeing SfaM in it's entirity was great back and I hope this will be too...
