You know what could potentially be kinda semi-cool in a drunken ultra-cheesy way: DT karoake.  

[peruvianskynewhampshire]

sorry if this has already been discussed in another thread.  wondering if anyone has heard the set list they have been playing in the shows like Worcester?   gotta work on Saturday,hope to get out early, hope to meet some of you at the local establishments. bringing a friend who recently discovered dream theater,will be his first time seeing them. my first time seeing them in such a small venue,cant wait!!!  jc

[Elsydeon]

I've seen the setlist they've been doing for these one off shows, it's in the DT tour dates and setlists thread.  hoping to grab some beers with you and everyone else before the show. I'm really excited for this weekend, the setlist looks good, definitely going to enjoy it.

[Chino]

I am getting excited  

[MykeHavoc]

Yes, I too am very pumped for this. Should be a lot of fun! Headlining setlists thus far are looking pretty good. If they keep the latest addition, I know that will make my guest very very happy as its their new favorite DT tune.

[Dream Team]

Hope JLB takes it easy tonight so he can shriek his balls off tomorrow night for us in Worcester  . (he should save his best for the DT headlining shows anyway don't ya think?)

[EstyMaJ]

Ok so I made a mp3 cd with the setlist thats been repoted and a mix of other DT tunes for the ride up and back tomorrow to the show , since this will be my buddy's first DT show and has only heard what i have made him listen to lol!!!
So anyway see who ever is going to the bars before the show tomorrow!!!!!!!!!

[King Postwhore]

I am with you in spirit.  My blessings upon your gathering and concert-going experience.

Drink a beer for me.

[rumborak]

Posting from within the venue, Charred Remains Of My Eardrums are playing.  Good God are they bad. It's almost comical.

Great show! Very personable to the audience. Charred Walls of the Damned were probably good, but the mixing was terrible, couldn't hear anything other than rhythm guitar, the snare/cymbals and the singer.
DT was really good, here was the setlist:

Psycho opening into A Nightmare To Remember
Constant Motion (they sped this up A LOT)
A Rite of Passage
Home ( )
Hollow Years (with bootleg verses and extended solos)
The Mirror
Lie
Wither
As I Am
Pull Me Under/ Metropolis Pt. 1 Medley thing
Encore: The Count of Tuscany.


Edit: And Panic Attack... somewhere....

[peruvianskynewhampshire]

great show tonight. really hot in there. had a couple at the irish pub. the line was down the street and around the corner.they packed the house.mikes kids and wife were there,mike kept sticking the stick up his nose. truly a great night. jc

[Elsydeon]

I just got home. I met up with chino, DTVT, and axeman at irish time. Was great putting a face to the usernames, had a great time tonight! good people, good set, good day.

[Tick]

Just got home and devoured an egg and cheese sandwich and now its time to crash! I had an awesome time tonight. I met some cool people(you know who you are)  and saw some I had met before. The band sounded great and I think I lost 5 pounds, as it was about 120 degrees in the balcony. I'm glad I made the two hour trip.
Good night!

[King Postwhore]

King, You have a BREAD??
I'll have a gray Fix For '96 t shirt and a black DT cap.

Bread LOL! Great show  tonight. Like Tick said it was friggin hot up in the balcony.  Going to bed, I'll say hello to all the peeps when I get up in the morning.

Also Rumbo was right Charred Walls sounded like a wall of noise and an exploding snare drum.

[rumborak]

Bummer, I missed TCOT, but I was exhausted from the day and the brutal heat in the venue,  and the fact that I had a 1-hour drive still ahead of me. So, I dropped out before the encore.

rumborak

[Mebert78]

What a show!  Moshpits and crowd surfing too lol.  I was right up front, a few feet away from the stage.  Lots of great energy from the crowd and the band sounded great.  My whole body is sore.  Bed time!  And I got to hear "The Mirror/Lie"!!!  w00-h00!!!!

[MykeHavoc]

I've got to say, I've been too a hundred shows at the Palladium, and this had the worst douche-bags on the floor I have EVER had to deal with. I couldn't believe it. There were seriously fist-fights nearly breaking out every 5 seconds. I've been to the most extreme metal shows imaginable, and the audiences were still more respectful then the people that showed up tonight. Nearly ruined the show for me. And its honestly turned me off from ever being on the floor at a DT gig ever again.

Other then that, great show! Performances were on. Everyone sounded great, all the songs were tight.
Agreed that Charred Walls were good, but the sound was all fucked up. That would likely be because the Palladium sound-house guy is a complete dick-hole, but we won't get into that. I'm also sick of their security. Ya know, I hope the House of Blues steals all there business and runs that place out of business soon, because they have become an abomination of what it once was. I'm actually upset that I have to go to at least 3 more shows before years end there.

Anyways, sorry, I can't seem to get over how upset I am, but shit like that gets to me. This was supposed to be a great and magical experience for me and a few cocks had to go and fuck it all up for me. I'm happy for those here that had a good time.
