2012-06-15 - Main Street Armory - Rochester, NY

[Shadow2222]

I'm not going to this concert (going to the Cleveland one), and apparently no one else is from here either 

We need a setlist reporter for tonight (which I may or may not be checking)!

[Metropolis Pt. II]

My brother and I are going, so we'll try to remember the set for you.

[zipporaid]

I'm going too, but no smartphone - I'll be putting them in a note on my dumbphone tho, will check back after.

Just got home from the meet&greet at HOG, JP's the man.

[Shadow2222]

Awesome! Can't wait to meet him myself in 6 days at the Cleveland concert. Enjoy the concert (but don't forget to post the setlist when you get home haha )!

[zipporaid]

I'm surprised more people aren't active on here, hopefully the show has a crowd 

[tuto]

I REALLY hope they play something new from Train of Thought, you know they already played As I Am and Endless Sacrifice and I would love to see SoC back or even In the name of god

[Shadow2222]

I'm surprised more people aren't active on here, hopefully the show has a crowd 

It will. Dream Theater has its casual fans as well, believe it or not, that don't go on the forums at all but still buy the new releases and go to the shows.

Exactly, apparently i'm the only forumer going the El Paso show as nobody replied to that thread.

[Jamariquay]

What time does the show start?

I need to know when to begin obsessively refreshing this page.

It depends, I saw them in Pompano Beach last october and the opening act was Trivium, so they started on the time Dream Theater was scheduled to and DT started like an hour and a half later

[2Timer]

How do you think things are going in Rochester?

[tuto]

Hopefully we get a setlist soon... theres nobody posting in the Rochester thread

[Shadow2222]

I want a setlist 

[RaiseTheKnife]

Me too.  I originally considered flying to this show just to be (potentially) see Lost Not Forgotten in its first live run . . . but changed my mind when I heard about the DVD.  I mapped out the airport/hotel/venue and was very close to pulling the trigger -- in that event I would be posting songs now.

[zipporaid]

dream is collapsing intro

bridges in the sky
6:00
dark eternal night
this is the life
lost not forgotten
fortune in lies!!!!
wait for sleep
surrounded
on the backs of angels with interlude
war inside my head
the test that stumped them all
JR/JP interlude into
the spirit carries on
breaking all illusions

enc: metropolis pt1

I think I missed a song, someone help me out on that, between this is the life and fortune in lies

crowd sucked, crossed arms - wtf! 

saw JMX walking to buses, told him they slayed... he said thanks to me TWICE!!!!

opening band dark day sunday, pretty freaking awesome thrash.  again, crowd sucked.

[SystematicThought]

Hmm, after all that hoopla about Lost Not Forgotten, it doesn't appear.

Nice set though. Thank God BITS is still the opener

[Shadow2222]

Not that I don't trust you zipporaid, but setlist.fm is reporting the following:

Dream is Collapsing (Hanz Zimmer)
Bridges in the Sky
6:00
The Dark Eternal Night
This is the Life
The Root of All Evil
Lost Not Forgotten
A Fortune in Lies
War Inside My Head
The Test that Stumped Them All
On the Backs of Angels
The Spirit Carries On
Breaking All Illusions

Encore:
Metropolis Pt. 1

And regarding the DT crowd crossing their arms, that is every DT show 

[The Letter M]

THIS IS THE LIFE!!!

Looks like we'll have every song on the album played live on this tour!

Now I'm hoping more and more for a multi-show live CD that comprises all the new songs, and all the songs that haven't been released on a live album yet!

-Marc.

[Shadow2222]

So, I'm guessing the B set will have Outcry, and maybe BMUBMD swapped with OTBOA.

[zipporaid]

this show was fucking killer. the crowd (like most NA DT shows)
was pretty lame, but I was rocking it with my old self.
fortune in lies i was insane over.

[Shadow2222]

So Zippo, is the setlist.fm set correct, or is yours? Was Root of All Evil played?

[SystematicThought]

And LNF

[tuto]

was surrounded played or not?

[zipporaid]

I'm not sure, I was pretty drunk on $10 long island iced teas. I put a note in my phone

bridges 600 dark eternal titl (notsure) LNF fortune wfs
surround otboa (interlude during) warinhead ttsta
(jr jp interlude into) tsco bai (enc)met1

i'm hoping someone can verify besides setlist.fm.

I'm pretty fucking sure I heard surrounded.

I apologize, but I think me and like 5 other people came to rock.
I wasn't even like annoying drunk, just lubricated to the point
of really digging the show

[Shadow2222]

Ok, so Lost Not Forgotten was definitely played. Perhaps the song you weren't sure of was TROAE. That leaves a discrepancy of whether WFS/Surrounded were played or not.

[tuto]

Hahaha thanks dude

[The Letter M]

The set is missing the soft/short number, which was either "Far From Heaven" or "Wait For Sleep". Hmmm....

-Marc.

[2Timer]

And no drum solo?

[zipporaid]

far from heaven was NOT played, no drum solo, but a cool jammy interlude during OTBOA with all instrumentalists

and the improv before  TSCO, JR / JP

[SystematicThought]

*quietly stands up*

I sit at DT shows....

[DarkLord_Lalinc]

crowd sucked, crossed arms - wtf! 

Welcome to America.

[zipporaid]

IDK when I was a kid I used to mosh and crowdsurf.  some of these 18-25 yo's should be ashamed.

[Madman Shepherd]

I'm satisfied...though I didn't get to hear Outcry or Beneath the Surface in Chicago last time so i would love to hear that. 

Could do without the Six Degrees songs but love that Root of All Evil and 6:00 are in there. 

[countoftuscany42]

kinda disappointed by tden and war/test, but since ive never seen them before ill enjoy them. curious what the B set will be, lucky enough to go to both this tour \m/

[Metropolis Pt. II]

NOTE: The interlude in OTBOA was not planned (at least it wasn't supposed to be so long). John Petrucci's guitar was not working so they improvised and JR and MM did a mellow jam. It was beautiful!!!

EDIT: To clarify, SURROUNDED was played tonight.
