My third DT show ever; seeing them with some of my best buds 






Unfortunately, it appears as though the show will be indoors, not outside because of lower ticket sales compared to their last visit here. That aforementioned show had about 10-12K tickets sold.

As festivals are going very bad nearly everywhere, in proportion to their expectations, DT don't do an exception...

Amazing concert. The whole band was on fire, the F# rocked, everything was great and the band looked pretty damn happy. James talked about coming back to Israel in the future ^^

By the way, before Dream is Collapsing played, Solistice Coil's parody of The Spirit Carries On was played on the main screen. That was pretty damn awesome.

Best concert of my life.

Band was on fire, great crowd, I had great friends, and an awesome view. And not to mention the SETLIST.

Mangini made a few minor, subtle mistakes. the band was very animated; Labrie was at his best, being a true frontman,  Myung was happy, JP was animated.

Not the best sound, but I don't really care.

If I have to say anything else, it's that this concert was probably the best concert of my life

[Madman Shepherd]

Jeez man, the Israeli fans are pretty rabid too!  As a Midwesterner that is very proud of my home I have to say, I wish we had even half the passion you guys have overseas!

What a great crowd!! 
And LTL again

OH MY GOD WHAT A GREAT SHOW.

I never post on anything and since yesterday's show, instead of working I'm just posting and writing all over the place....

First DT show but by god not the last. Everything and I mean everything was perfect. All band members were at the top of their game and gave us the experience of a lifetime.

Had a VIP ticket but since the atmosphere was so amazing hardly used it but instead got "down and dirty" with all the kids and loved every f*&^(*&(*ing minute of it,

Thank you DT! Thank you for the religious (no kidding) experience, for the great show, the mesmerizing mind boggling, heavenly music that made a not so young (not so old too don't get me wrong) guy jump up and down, sing and sign like crazy and feel 16 years old once more!!!

IMHO the highlight of the show was Fatal Tragedy

(amazing show...  )

I like JLB speech after On The Backs Of Angels, when he says to some Guy that he could hide sign with "Constant Motion" so others people could see something, because it's not gonna be played anyway

[Martinman300]

Poor JLB, the F# at this show was one of the worst I've heard. He's doing great at everything else at the moment though.

[The Silent Cody]

It wasn't the best, but I think that he was sometimes worse at this moment

I can't believe how well Mangini is playing this material.  It's freaking flawless.

[Zydar]

JMX very rarely looks other than awesome on pics.

[Millais]

i've pretty much watched youtube footage of every concert that DT have put on on this tour and i have to say, this concert and the next night in Portugal looking INCREDIBLE. seriously, the crowd are loving it but i think what's more is that the band is working as a band and loving it even more than the fans. great stuff.

[DejaVu]

Wow, I wish I was amongst that crowd, having a great crowd makes it that little bit more exciting to watch. Honestly, this is probably the best gig of the tour so far, I hope Wolverhampton will be like this, hmm.

You are so right!! I was there amongst the crowd and it intensified the experience ten folds. I had VIP tickets on the balcony which I did not use since being in the crowd was so so so much better.
Have been to a gig or two in my time and this one was the absolute best!!!!!!!!!!!
