Where have you seen Dream Theater?

[Jamesman42]

Orlando, West Palm Beach, and I think Fort Lauderdale. Like 4 or 5 times total

[Flurokazoo]

I've seen them twice. Both times in Holland. First time in Zwolle, second time in Amsterdam.

[RaiseTheKnife]

Orlando, West Palm Beach, and I think Fort Lauderdale. Like 4 or 5 times total

I have a bootleg of the '93 Fort Lauderdale show.  Good set for a small club, although some of the crowd seem disinterested, as you can hear folks chatting through most of the show.

[RoadHazard]

I've seen them seven times, but only in Sweden I'm afraid.

2004-01-22 - Hovet, Stockholm, Sweden
2005-06-10 - Sweden Rock Festival, Sölvesborg, Sweden
2005-09-29 - Hovet, Stockholm, Sweden

In that case, I've seen Live At Budokan and Live at Luna Park from my living room.  I am going to be seeing them live in Vancouver in a few weeks for the first time.  I am beyond excited.

1999 European tour in Milan, pre-full SFAM show
2000 European tour in Milan, best of setlist, A Change of Seasons as encore
2002 European tour in Milan, Six Degrees show
2004 European tour in Milan, Train of Thought show
2005 European tour in Milan, Octavarium show
2007 Gods of Metal festival in Milan, entire Images and Words album played, first date of the whole tour
2007 European tour in Milan, Systematic Chaos show
2009 Gods of Metal festival in Milan (actually it was a nearby city, Monza), pre-Black Clouds summer shows
2012 European tour in Milan, A Dramatic Turn of Events show
2014 European tour in Milan, self titled show

2016, European tour in Milan, The Astonishing live!


So you can get the pattern easily... every time they show up in my town, I don't miss them. I skipped them only once, during the Prog Nation tour, 'cause I didn't like the other bands on the bill and I thought they'd play too little, they did an absolutely awesome setlist in their limited time, I still regret missing it out. And yeah, didn't see SFAM played in full, dammit.

[SwedishGoose]

Saw them first on the Images & Words tour in a small club in Stockholm called Melody.

I then for different reasons failed to catch the Awake and falling into infinity tours.

Moving to Stockholm made seeing them live much easier and I have caught them on all subsequent tours except Systematic Chaos for which I had a ticket but was in a hospital after an accident so I couldn't go.

[cfmoran13]

Toad's Place, New Haven, CT (10-25-1997) (In the womb)

Just saw this post now.  Wow, I was at that show with your parents.  It's funny to see where you are age-wise vs. other members.  It was my 24th birthday the day before that show.  It was a great show, too. 

[TheFrozenInferno]

I live a 12 hour drive from the closest venues they play here in Canada, so I've only managed to see them twice. Montreal in 2007 (Chaos in Motion Tour) and Quebec City in 2014 (Along For The Ride Tour).

I'm extremely jealous of the folks who got to see the early shows, and basically any show where they played ACOS, my favourite song.

[SebastianPratesi]

I saw them only once, on the "Chaos in Motion" tour: March 4th, 2008 in Luna Park (the show from which they included 'Panic Attack' on the DVD).

I'd like to see them at least one time with Mike Mangini, so I started saving in case they come to Argentina on this tour (I don't live in Buenos Aires, so I would need quite a lot of money to travel to a concert).
