Hopefully DT realizes it's absolutely essential to play BAI every night.

Oh and also to the person sitting in row KK, seat 318... you smelled like shit. -________-

Now that's some funny shit (no pun intended)!

Oh my god how fucking good is LaBrie. Bloody hell.

Wow, he really does sound perfect. Props to JLB!!

[?]

That setlist looks much better! I like how they didn't play anything off my 3 least favorite albums!

Unfortunately it is at the expense of Outcry. Frankly, they BOTH need to be played.

That's why I theorized FFH/BAI as set closer and Outcry as encore. But that was before the shows, I'm not scared anymore. I know that their set will rock anyways. 

[Zydar]

I see what ya did thar.

Major chills at 3:04. Beautiful.

[MetalJens]

Caught In A Web instead of Forsaken? Wait For Sleep?? Pull Me Under as encore?! BAI??!!! 

Pleeeease play this set in Chicago 

[gentaishinigami]

Man, that crowd pisses me off during BMU;BMD   They are just absolutely dead and not moving at ALL.  They could at least tap their foot or nod their head!

Edit:  Actually looking at that persons vid of BITS they are dead their too ._.  That has to suck for DT seeing the fans in the pit essentially lifeless while they're rocking their/your ass off.

[Rob801]

...and Far From Heaven to me is a complete borefest!...

I think it's ok but yeah, it's the one and only song on the album I find myself skipping repeatedly. I like TITL (which to me is kind of borderline ballad anyway) and BTS much better.

Couldn't agree more. In fact, they could play the whole album and fill in the time with rotating songs from older stuff. The new album is so strong it would be awesome. I know I am in the minority here, but the exclusion of Black Clouds really sucks. The epic nature of a lot of songs on that album makes it hard to work in, but at least give us something. That album carried momentum in their rise to greater popularity. Outcry and BAI in one set as staple songs would kick ass and I hope by the time they hit Toronto it is a reality. Impossible to please everyone with their diverse collection and fans, and at the end of the day I am just happy to see them.

I actually would love to hear Count of Tuscany, my only fear is that its so long that itll take away from other amazing songs.

Not sure what song you saw but if was during BMUBMD then maybe we just overall don't dig that song and realize we can create change by our actions and maybe get the band to replace that tune with a much better one,  unlike in Germany where you blindly follow anything.

After seeing the first 2 sets, your set list makes no sense.

[smegolas]

OK, so if there is a third set that means I might not get to see Outcry, BAI, or BTS, which means I will be forced to immediately charge the stage and well, sorry guys, the tour will end in Vancouver.

[ishak540m]

I was in the pit with my gf, sixth row, dead center (311, 312).  It was awesome.  Labrie waved/pointed at either me or my gf during BITS.  The setlist was great.  I wish we still had "An Evening With" though.  Aside from that the only minor gripe...as close as we were the acoustics were shit so it was hard to actually hear the individual instruments.  Otherwise... . 

[Millais]

Fuckin' awesome pictures for a "crappy point and shoot"... 

indeed! great pictures, and a great post. glad to hear you enjoyed the night - pretty much making me hover over that buy button to see DT at Wembley in February!

can't wait for a better angle video of BAI, one with JP in it!

And seriously that crowd is LAME! 

[InfraredDream]

Very happy to see BAI added! Hope they will keep Outcry as well though, I am not very happy we have to choose between 2

[ishak540m]

And seriously that crowd is LAME! 

Lol, I don't know what's up with that side.  The crowd I was in, 6th row/center pit, was very lively.

OK, now I'm gonna fucking rage!!!


Damn I wish they had played that, that was just killer.  Not taking anything away from Outcry, I just like BAI more.

WTF??

just a joke , nothing personal, but after seeing the video of BAI from the left front of the stage the public seemed a little lifeless.
if somebody feels personaly injured, i take everything back. amazing crowd!

Now that's some funny shit (no pun intended)!

Dude, seriously fuck that guy. He showed up smelling like shit, then got drunk and wouldn't shut the fuck up. During Far From Heaven he kept yelling "Play Hollow Years!!" (he was in the row behind me) so I turned around and yelled "How about they play shut the fuck up", and he finally shut up for the rest of the show.
