2012-01-29 - Arena Hall - Poznań, POL

[smerfak]

I'll try to be there, not a hundred percent certainty, but I'll do my best   Anyone else form Poland?

[The Silent Cody]

Of course that I will be there!!! There is no other way, Dream Theater and Periphery on one stage - killing evening. Just can't wait til friday for ADTOE and even can't wait more for 29th of January!!!

DT in Poland = even Chuck Norris won't stop me from coming.

[The Silent Cody]

I'm glad that it's Poznań this time My latest trip to DT show in Katowice this year was exhausting I'm from Gdańsk, so You can imagine anyway, Arena is a great venue, I was there in 2005 during Octavarium Tour, I'm looking very forward to this

[John94]

I don't want to get hopes up but as I mentioned in another thread, this date is the 10 year Anniversary of the release of SDOIT. I wonder if there will be any special performances.

Wow I didn't know, it would be nice if they performed something extra
I wish they played 24.01 -JM's birthday 

BTW I wasn't at Octavarium tour (my brother and my father were). What do you prefer - Spodek or Arena?

[The Silent Cody]

Definitly Arena in Poznań, maybe it's not so spectacular, but the sound as I remember was way better than in Katowice.

[smerfak]

I'm asking because a few friends told me that the sound in Poznań was not so great ;b But they weren't in Spodek on DT so there's no comparison. I didn't like the drum sound in Katowice (my dad was on Deep Purple with Orchestra and it was fine then).

Anyway, I'd go on Dream Theater even if they played in barn xD

[The Silent Cody]

Yeah, me too anyway, I prefer Poznań and Arena more than Spodek in Katowice

[Liberation]

I'm actually from Katowice so I really liked it that they played here, but well. Never been on a concert to Poznań yet, but fortunately it's very easy to get there by train so it won't be much of a problem, there are direct trains there if I remember correctly. (It was far more difficult to get to Bydgoszcz for PN09.)

There You go Polish fans something I made up yesterday, it's a test for me how many of us will be interested. If it will be good, I have some cool ideas to create a real good prospering Polish fanclub. Maybe offtopic a little here, but concert in Poznań would be a great test if we could we could meet and do something nice

[smerfak]

I'm in. Haha nice title  and great idea. Have my support all the way.
Goosh I want to go to a concert so badly  For me it would be best if they played in Łódź, but nevermind, Poznan or even Katowice are not so far away 

[The Silent Cody]

Thanks for liking it

Unfortunately... I don't have (and I hate) Facebook.

Rockserwis.pl is selling collectors tickets again nice one's, 140 PLN for standing area.

[Liberation]

Yeah, 130-140 is pretty usual. Not really cheap but... not so scary.

It's the train tickets I'm more afraid of but oh well.

[The Silent Cody]

Yeah, I'm scared more of riding the train than the tickets prices I hate trains...

[Liberation]

I like it and definitely got used to it, but the problem in Poland is that you either travel for cheap in an old and ugly train without reserved sitting places so you don't know where you'll end up, or in a great, modern train with everything awesome but with tickets going well over 100 PLN.

[The Silent Cody]

Definitly true  and more, if someone sitting next to You is eating an egg... haha anyway, I found TLK train from Gdańsk, it costs 52 PLN one side in class 2 of course not so bad

[smerfak]

Fortunately I'm going by car with my father/brother so it wouldn't even pay off to go by train.

Hmm I wonder what the setlist will look like in January : P

[Dynia]

I will try to be there, though it's a long ride from my place to Poznań.

[sunseeker]

Hype alert - guess which 10th anniversary we'll be celebrating on the 29th  I am officialy psyched.

[sunseeker]

Anyone taking the 11 o clock train from warsaw? I'm going alone so maybe anyone fancy some company before the gig?

From Periphery's Facebook Page:

Due to technical difficulties and unforeseen circumstances Periphery will not be able to play tonight before Dream Theater in Poznan. We are really disappointed as it is out of our control. We will try our best to come out and play for you in the future. Love, Periphery.

[Estiui]

You lucky guys. Guess if DT is playing a few more songs instead of Periphery...

[John94]

ITS ALL COMING TOGETHER

NUGGETS

[moffatt]

That would be awesome if they did that.

"Periphery: Nothing with our gear. Its the venue and time constraints. "


I think we can probably rule out the whole of SDOIT then

Periphery clarified their statement on that same status that the stage construction had a problem, and when that problem was resolved, there was no point for them to set up and play. It would have interfered with DT's time. However, this still leaves an extra possible 20-40 minutes for when Periphery would have used to set up, that DT could use for additional song(s).

I doubt we'll see any changes, but one can hope. Hopefully the people who went to the show can report back asap. 

[indalo]

No news yet? Are they playing 4 hours of what?

Maybe they played the entire SDOIT CD in addition to the normal set.
