New DT Live Album/DVD?

[darkshade]

I'd bet money that JP would like to play the 12 Step Suite; he has the best parts of the whole piece.

[cramx3]

Id like to see TGP and TSF live, but I could live without the entire suite being played at once.

[Progmetty]

Puuuurty sure 12-suite not happening any time soon.
I really hope this DVD is of a North American AMERICAN show.

Damn, I was rooting for a North American EUROPEAN show! 

[Progmetty]

I meant not Canada or Mexico. Just cause a lot of bands are doing that recently and I miss a DVD with a loud American rock & roll crowd singing and head banging

[N4Player]

As long as we have a Budokan/Score quality vid of TCOT, I'll be very happy 

Completely agree. I love this live and hope it is added as well as others from BC&SL. They have a great stage setup and intro on this tour and I am sure that we will see a DVD release in 2012. I just hope they add LNF and TITL to their setlist on the next leg of their tour so those songs make it on as well. Looking forward to it.

They should also release it with in the studio-material that they were filming while making ADTOE. Plus a documentary that covers DT preparing for tour and while on tour.

How kick ass would that be!!!

Canadians aren't as loud or energetic as Americans?

No, because its impossible to find an energetic crowd in the US for DT. They have to go to other places for that kind of attention.

Yep. Not happening.

[Cyclopssss]

I want a whole separate Pirate-section!

This. Sad truth, the Americans are very quiet and tame for DT. I seem to be the only one who rocks out when I see them.

[Freko]

So all of you who have been at the concerts, have there been any serious camera-action? 5-6 camera guys running around with some über HD cams??

The last time they released a full-blown DVD was Score and that was shot in...New York.

I for one would like to see a full on concert recording in either Europe or South America. These crowds are definitely the loudest and best (with South America being number 1)

[MuumiPeikko]

I really hope there will be DVD for this tour. Guys are on the top form, especially James. It must be filmed!

Someone should ask JP this next time they have a meet and greet or a post-show meeting with the fans by the tour buses.

I'd be curious to whether or not they'd like to play the suite in its entirety, and if not, then will they play the individual songs ever again?

ALSO, stoked for the European tour set. Since they've already played the majority of the main staples of the past tours on the first European leg, I think we'll see a whole new set of pre-MM songs in addition to the songs from ADTOE.

[Squa7ch2112]

I've noticed in more than a few videos posted on YouTube that they're recording their shows and with what appears to be some very expensive camera equipment so I would image there is definitely going to be a new DVD on it's way...Blu-ray please!!!

I'd be surprised if the whole band would have been excited about playing the whole AA suite when Portnoy was in the band, and with him out of the band, I'd say the chances of them ever playing it straight through are slim to none, barring a Portnoy return years from now.  It'd be a shame if The Glass Prison was tucked away forever, but I could see them avoiding all five AA tunes out of respect for their former member and the subject matter.

I'm pretty sure JP loves TGP, but idk about the rest of the suite. They busted out The Great Debate this tour, which they haven't done for a LONG time, so who knows, we might get The Glass Prison next.

But I'm not going to complain about that, because The Great Debate is actually a good song.

Eh - Mike's always referred to it very specifically as the Twelve-Step Suite, quite deliberately shunning the "AA Suite" title because he didn't want anyone thinking it was specifically about alcohol. He drew on his own experiences, which were alcohol-related, but the aim was to write a suite about recovery rather than a suite about Mike Portnoy recovering.

I still agree that there's a very slim chance of the whole thing being played through, but I don't think there'd be any taboo broken in playing a song or two.

I would be very surprised if there isn't at least an announcement of a Live DVD/CD before the end of this year. I don't know who it is up to, whether it is the band or the label, but there is a huge demand for a release for sure, especially with no official releases from BC&SL. Maybe releasing LAB on blu-ray was "testing the water."

[Jinx]

I'm just watching Chaos in Motion and during those shows they had two opening acts. This year we have one so its likely if they release a DVD it will be from a few different shows. I'm not really fussed with that, they can pick the best performances and get everything onto the disc (different songs from different setlists, etc). Just as long as they use better cameras then on CIM! 

[Squa7ch2112]

Well the only thing from CiM that was shot professionally was Schmedley Wilcox or whatever it's called, not sure about what was used for the rest of it.

I don't think the release of LAB will have any effect on future releases. It's RR who would be releasing future DVDs, so they had nothing to do with LAB, and I don't think the band had much say on it either. Hopefully they'll release a Bluray though.

Their tours that ultimately produced Live Scenes and OIALT also typically had opening acts. I hold out hope that even if they don't use the "Evening With" format for the bulk of that leg, they'll end it with a 3 hour show that'll be filmed. But, you know.

[cramx3]

Please no CIM format, LaB and Score are much better. I could see a full concert and then maybe a few bonus songs from a different show or shows, kind of like LaB.

Maybe for a DVD, but for a CD, where the sound quality can be mixed-to-match, I want a full 3-disc set, with at LEAST 180 minutes of music only because I would LOVE to hear "The Count Of Tuscany" and "Learning To Live" with MM on them, and those are two songs they haven't played since last summer.

[Cyclopssss]

They just played 6:00 in Helsinki.....

[Kotowboy]

Confirmed...

I Know all about the honour of God, Mary Jane.


We really NEED a DVD of this tour !!

[BlobVanDam]

A ton of better songs they could have played, but they played that perfectly. Good quality vid too.

[darkshade]

6:00 is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

Further proof why we NEED another live dvd this tour:

They sound amazing, especially James, he's sounding better than ever right now!

[Super Dude]

They simply have to release a DVD. Bridges in the Sky live.
