Did not see any security last night, so I managed to fill up my memorycard completely. Think I got about half the show on video

great show. didnt think it was too loud though, and i was in the 4th row. crimson projekct was alright, nothing more (sorry). the surprises were pretty entertaining. im at work so i cant do a full type up. but  to the loudmouth in the leopard button-up shirt who was standing between the 3rd row seats in the aisle, may you burn in hell. dude was having a full screaming conversation with his buddy (completely irelevant to DT/LTE) during paradigm shift  . i doubt its anyone on here cause he probably cant work a computer.

[nestcmartin]

I love you FrostbiteZ

LTE? To Live Forever? 21st Century Schizoid Man?

Yawn!

* flame shield activated * 

Exactly. WTF is 21st Schizoid Man?
And TLF instead of AFIL? WTF?

Agreed. The show was great- but To Live Forever was a very random substitution.

[wasteland]

Sorry to hear you guys complain about To Live Forever. To me it was the most welcome change of the night, even though I love AFIL!

[chrisbDTM]

jordan also had some interesting studded boots

[Progmetty]

TLF is equal to AFIL to me.
That night was mainly a great excitement to fans of both Dream Theater and King Crimson.

[wolfandwolfandwolf]

To Live Forever is one of my favorite Dream Theater songs.  I love that they pulled this one out.

[phantom]

Can't understand some comments about the changes in the setlist.
Sure, if you've seen DT many times you've probably heard those tunes before (except for the KC cover).
In that case I can understand your lack of interest, so to speak.
But for the rest of the audience it should've been quite a treat.
I personally would have enjoyed every moment, both because of the surprise and the songs they played.

[chrisbDTM]

ive barely even heard king crimson and i enjoyed 21st century schizoid man.

[phantom]

To Live Forever is one of my favorite Dream Theater songs.  I love that they pulled this one out.

Totally agree.
Nothing better than adding a nice B-side to the setlist.
Wish they'd do one of the FII B-sides

[SeRoX]

James handled TLF very well. Amazing performance and I'm glad they start to play it at last. One of my favourite.

I keep saying the same thing and people keep telling me that I'm crazy!  I'd love an acoustic Cover My Eyes/Speak to Me.

[Zydar]

Thanks FrostbiteZ!

I absoultely love their B-Sides.  IMO their Cleaning out the Closet CD is awesome from beginning to end!

@ the guy yelling "Freebird!" at 0:07.

"Ladies and gentlemen...Mr. Charlie Dominicci!"

[chrisbDTM]

i have no problem with the backing vocal tracks, its just kinda funny to see JP miming them with MP's voice coming out of the speakers. i wonder if MP knows


PLAGIARISM

PLAGIARISM

I'm a bit new to this forum so I haven't figured out nearly any of the insider jokes and stuff etc...  But when I saw DT in Richmond, I was fairly confident JP was actually singing the parts MP used to sing.  I heard a difference.  Maybe it was synthetic, but I didn't get the notion that it lip synchonization.

[wasteland]

"Ladies and gentlemen...Mr. Charlie Dominicci!"

Should officially become part of the backing vocals of the song. 

[chrisbDTM]

not all the backing vocals, just a couple parts of songs (grotesque creatures battle etc. in TDEN, and War Inside My Head sounded eerily like MP) i heard MP's voice and there were times when JP was late to get to the mic. i could careless either way, i just know JP's singing voice and he does actually sing for other songs, just those parts were different

[DTFan0789]

I'm just waiting to hear what MP has to say about all of this. 

[GasparXR]

I'm just waiting to hear what MP has to say about all of this. 

I'm waiting for a bootleg.

[Mladen]

That's a lot for the videos,  FrostbiteZ. Please tell me you recorded Schidzoid man as well.   

[ibosmiley]

Very cool that they threw in some surprises for this show.  To Live Forever is a pretty sweet switch out and the other two songs were great additions.  My only thing is... did you really need to stay in the same venue two nights in a row to essentially play the same set list with 3 songs switched out though?

[bobs23]

Did you really need to go there?

NY is a big audience for DT, it makes perfect sense that they would play the same venue several times here.  Regardless of setlist.

[FrostbiteZ]

I did, but I ran out of memory so I did not get the last 2 minutes

[MajorMatt]

Awesome that they pulled out TLF and Paradigm Shift, wonder if they'll end up on the new Ytsejam release?

[bosk1]

Personally, my hope would be that they take the vast majority of songs from this tour that do not make it on the DVD, and compile a Ytsejam release that, in essence, is a supplement to the official DVD representing "the rest of the tour."  So, in other words, let's say hypothetically that there are 35 songs played on the tour entire tour, from the very first warmup show to the end, and that 20 of those songs end up on the official DVD.  It would be awesome if performances of the other 15 from various shows end up on a Ytsejam release.

I love Mike Mangini even more now for wearing that Boston shirt.

[ZeppelinDT]

It's quite possibly venue related.  Every time I've seen them at the Paramount in Denver they have been incredibly loud shows.  One time in particular I was wishing I had brought my earplugs as my ears were ringing all the next day.  But when I've seen them at outdoor venues in Colorado (Red Rocks, Pepsi Center parking lot) they weren't that bad.

Maybe... but I've seen a bunch of shows at that venue, and DT was by far the loudest.  Usually the sound there is pretty good.

but  to the loudmouth in the leopard button-up shirt who was standing between the 3rd row seats in the aisle, may you burn in hell. dude was having a full screaming conversation with his buddy (completely irelevant to DT/LTE) during paradigm shift  . i doubt its anyone on here cause he probably cant work a computer.

Yeah, there were a few of those.  Some dude near met kept screaming out "Centurion!" and "King's Park".  I wanted to punch him.

jordan also had some interesting studded boots

Lol... he sure did.  I was right in front of him all night.  Couldn't take my eyes off those things.

Nothing better than adding a nice B-side to the setlist.
Wish they'd do one of the FII B-sides

I'd settle for some A sides... like maybe Anna Lee

i have no problem with the backing vocal tracks, its just kinda funny to see JP miming them with MP's voice coming out of the speakers. i wonder if MP knows

I could be wrong, but I was under the impression that JP was singing his lines on top of the MP lines, rather than just "miming" them...

again im not criticizing anyone. but from where i was sitting i was hearing straight MP. again i could be wrong, but that's what i thought i was hearing

I wouldn't mind seeing the clip without the last two minutes.  Take the time, but have in mind that most of us are going crazy about seeing it. 

And I don't know who has a better shirt, Mebert, you or Mangini.
