2009/10 WORLD TOUR DISCUSSION THREAD

[hefdaddy42]

I'm glad that As I Am made its returned, but since it's such a strong opener, it's a little strange to see it as the closer of the set.

[Tick]

I'm surprised to see Forsaken and Misunderstood, when there is no Wither.

They could easily replace Wither for one of those two, power-ballad-esque, songs.

The time is not right for Wither. That will be next year.

[ariich]

That's the second time I've seen Forsaken described as a power ballad, and it really confuses me as I don't see anything remotely ballady about it. It strikes me as more like AROP (I've always thought of AROP as a kinda cross between CM and Forsaken).

[Nihil-Morari]

Well, I don't listen to Forsaken on a regular basis, but I guess it has to do with the placing on the album.
It's kind of a restpoint in between ITPOE 1, and CM. Maybe the song itself is not ballady, but the songs around it are heavy.

I shall listen to it again today, as a standalone track.

[cyberdrummer]

I'm glad that As I Am made its returned, but since it's such a strong opener, it's a little strange to see it as the closer of the set.

Really? I'm very surprised that's it's been an (almost) regular fixture on all 4 tours since it was released. It could do with a rest in my opinion.

[antigoon]

Yeah, I definitely don't need to hear As I Am again.

[cyberdrummer]

I've seen it at 4 of the 5 DT shows I've been to.

I very much hope I don't see it again in October.

8/8 Brookhaven Ampitheater setlist

A Nightmare to Remember
A Rite of Passage
Misunderstood
Erotomania
Voices
Forsaken
Sacraficed Sons
As I am
-----------------
Count of Tuscany

Great Set!

Sound was GREAT for this event...everythhing was perfectly clear! Awesome show

Nah, I'm not too crazy about SS and As I am, there were better sets IMO...

[cyberdrummer]

Yeah I'd definitely say that was one of the weaker sets, with Forsaken and As I Am in it.

[cramx3]

I don't understand why they are playing a lot of the same songs from last year's PN.  Friday night I saw BTL, Erotomania, and Voices, all played from the second night of PN in NYC last year.  I don't want any of these songs tonight in NYC same with Forsaken and As I Am.  Solitary Shell alone made up for those songs on Friday night, and then INTOG was amazing.

[Dr. DTVT]

Yeah I'd definitely say that was one of the weaker sets

Agreed.  I think I can say despite my bias towards it because it was the show I saw, the Boston show I think had the best overall setlist.  I'm glad I chose the Boston show over the others I had a chance to go to.

[cramx3]

Agreed.  I think I can say despite my bias towards it because it was the show I saw, the Boston show I think had the best overall setlist.  I'm glad I chose the Boston show over the others I had a chance to go to.

I think Boston got the best set so far and I am unbaised.

[cyberdrummer]

Yeah same here. Even if it was Metropolis and TCOT it would have been the best, but ITNOG just made it so much better.

[bodiesinflight]

Yeah I'd definitely say that was one of the weaker sets, with Forsaken and As I Am in it.

Definitely...I'm glad they played them here in June so hopefully they won't in October

As I Am's alright but Forsaken is just  for me

[cyberdrummer]

I'm pretty sure we won't get As I Am in London this time. It was played in 2005 and 2007, and in Southampton, which is fairly close to London, this year. 

[bodiesinflight]

I'm pretty sure we won't get As I Am in London this time. It was played in 2005 and 2007, and in Southampton, which is fairly close to London, this year. 

Yeah I know they were played in Soton...hence why I know Forsaken is a  for me live

I really want 6:00 but that's looking pretty unlikely now

[cyberdrummer]

Fingers crossed for a third European leg where it's just DT and one other band. Or just a one-off London Evening With show where they play the AA saga in full. 

[bodiesinflight]

That'll do me...preferably not at Wembley or O2 or somewhere massive though...Hammersmith would be nice

[cyberdrummer]

Well they wouldn't fill the O2 anyway. Yeah Hammersmith would be great.

[bodiesinflight]

Well they wouldn't fill the O2 anyway. Yeah Hammersmith would be great.

Yeah but loads of bands who wouldn't fill it still play it

Camden Roundhouse would be cool as well

[cyberdrummer]

I'm not a fan of the Roundhouse actually. It's a bit barren for my liking.

[Disappear]

Yeah I'd definitely say that was one of the weaker sets

Agreed.  I think I can say despite my bias towards it because it was the show I saw, the Boston show I think had the best overall setlist.  I'm glad I chose the Boston show over the others I had a chance to go to.

I think Boston got the best set so far and I am unbaised.

Agreed.

[cyberdrummer]

I was just thinking, I hope we see 6:00 and New Millennium brought back next year. And obviously we'll see The Glass Prison.

[ResultsMayVary]

They may not bring out The Glass Prison until at least in Europe in the fall by itself. I'm sure we'll see the 12-step performed together starting probably in Australia/New Zealand since they are the nearest headlining dates right now.

[LudwigVan]

JLB sounded great at Brookhaven.  Just sayin.

[Scard]

any word on what they played tonight in NYC?!

Edit: I failed to look at the other thread

[chrisbDTM]

nyc. from what i can remember

ANTR
AROP
hollow years
JR solo spot
prophets of war
TDOE
one last time
TCOT

encore: metropolis (with dweezil in middle jam)

[SilentFox]

So that was the big deal MP was making -- glad I chose not to go.  Other than that, it seems like a short set, are you sure you aren't forgetting anything?

[antigoon]

It was exactly 90 minutes.

[chrisbDTM]

thats all it. unfortunately

[Zeltar]

I don't understand why they are playing a lot of the same songs from last year's PN.

They're playing the same songs in some citites because they probably didn't hit those ones in the last PN.

[brakkum]

yep.

[SystematicThought]

This still keeps me guessing for MN. I do hope we get TDOE and OLT.

Okay set tonight. I hope they stay longer

[brakkum]

This still keeps me guessing for MN. I do hope we get TDOE and OLT.

Okay set tonight. I hope they stay longer

it's more than likely considering a lot of other things being rotated were played here last year.

[Adami]

I just saw a video of PoW live.


......when did DT start using backing tracks?
