2011/12 Setlist Predictions Thread

[JayOctavarium]

If i were to have known what the set was in advanced, i still woulda gone... I'm just that dedicated...  Like the Maiden tour set. wasnt the strongest  but i still went...

[Ben_Jamin]

I agree. It was great to see As I Am, AROP, and Constant Motion live 

[skydivingninja]

Man, watching everyone being sad about their setlist, I feel kinda blessed now that I got to see Hollow Years, Erotomania/Voices, and Metropolis.  We got a pretty great setlist.

1. A Nightmare to Remember
2. Constant Motion
3. Beyond This Life
4. Hollow Years/Keyboard Solo
5. Erotomania
6. Voices
7. The Count of Tuscany
-------
8. Metropolis pt. 1

I think that was it.  SOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOD

[PlaysLikeMyung]

Besides Beyond This Life (EWWWWWWWWWWW) and Constant Motion, it's not bad.

The PN show I went to had a better setlist though, I think

1. ANTR
2. ARoP
3. Hollow Years
4. Erotomania
5. Voices
6. Prophets of War
7. The Count of Tuscany

8. Metropolis

[Ben_Jamin]

I wish i could see that set

[Martinman300]

At southampton we got erotomania, voices, CIAW, Metropolis/LTL/ACOS medley so I'm not complaining.

BtL is a decent song, and CM is fun live, I'll give it that.  The fact you got PoW makes my setlist infinitely better.  They could've played You Not Me at my show and it would've been better 

[hefdaddy42]

True.

Huh? How? I mean, PoW could be better but I thought we saw one of the best sets on that tour.

[PlaysLikeMyung]

Better in the sense that we could have gotten ITNOG. But they started playing it at the show right after this one

Also yeah PoW is the only weak song in that set.

[Perpetual Change]

oh lol. I saw the show in Jersey the next week so I'm good.

[gilpdawg]

I could live with this setlist every damn time. Best DT show I've seen of the 14.

What that from the same tour as Score?  I thought that they always concluded with Octaavarium.  It's a shame you didn't get any epics.

I'm guessing it was a Gigantour show?

EDIT: Yeah this one https://www.mikeportnoy.com/dates/tourography/?show=830

[Ħ]

I thought that Gigantour limited them to about thirty minutes?  From what I saw, DT only played TGP and PA.

[cyberdrummer]

No, they co-headlined the tour and played for about 90 mins I think. They're the only two songs that got put onto the dvd though.

[TAC]

Unfortunately, we got one of the 75 minute slots..

Gigantour was one of James' best!

[hefdaddy42]

Nah, the 6 Degrees tour was the best them.

Figures! The two f##king tours that I missed!
They both had great sets, but I'd lean towards the Train Of thought tour.

Is there some massive archive that you guys are using for your information?  I did a quick google search but got nothing.

Both tours were the best in terms of setlists without a doubt, altho I have to say that the 8v tour was right up there! The Philly show just a few days before the Score show is one of my favorites (featuring LtL with an extended jam, PSkies with different Floyd/Metallica excerpts) and several other different tracks.

What does this mean? The Evening With tours were, without a doubt, the best ones DT has done. Will be curious to see if they do Evening With tours without MP - I'd be very surprised if they'd do it on their first tour with their new drummer considering how much material he'd have to learn (altho I realize he'd have the time to practice and learn the songs).

[PlaysLikeMyung]

They'd better do 'An Evening With...'

After having a 90 minute set and then being an opening act, they need to do longer shows

You're preaching to the choir, tho I wouldn't count on it. We'll probably see 2 hour sets with 1 or 2 opening acts ala the Chaos in Motion tour.

THAT I wouldn't mind.  The 90-minute felt like it just needed two or three more songs to be a complete concert.

[RaiseTheKnife]

I agree that I wouldn't expect Dream Theater to do an Evening With tour right out of the gate in 2011/2012.

But that's exactly why they SHOULD do it.  It would prove that Dream Theater is still the best band in the world, full of surprises, carrying on in full force and it would leave the fans in complete shock and awe.

Let's not kid ourselves.  DT has an enormous challenge ahead of themsevles in this new phase of their career.  But they've always been a band that rises to challenges, performs the impossible and gravitates toward the unexpected.  I hope they continue this tradition.

[Zantera]

Disappear, if only they would play it.
