[FrostbiteZ]

Just arrived at the Hotel. Wow....we're in for a treat!!! Gonna try to post the setlist during tomorrow's concert. Band sounds great, production looks awesome!!!

maybe you give me/us a hint
Will there be 2 epics?
I'm so excited for tonight 3 hours in heaven and I really really really really wanna hear Octavarium atleast once in my life

[FrostbiteZ]

I'm very excited!! And Frostbitez, you never let us down!

I will upload them to my mediafire account when I return home for those that should be interested in them

According to the website of the venue the show begins at 9:30 PM and it's estimated to be 2 hours long with no intermission. Of course estimations are just predictions, but isn't the showtime pretty late for a 3-hour concert?

I dont think every show on this tour will be An Evening With. If they go on at 9/9:30 they are NOT gonna break a curfew or a contract and play til past midnight!

[TAC]

Yeah, how many minutes to Psycho Rock Juice?

I'm pretty sure every show will be. Bands tend to play later in mainland Europe, so a 9/9.30 start is feasible, but I still wouldn't be surprised if the show actually began earlier than that.

Sweet man, I appreciate it greatly in advance!!!! Can't wait to see what they play!!!

Exactly this!  I will be glued to this fucking thread!

[FrostbiteZ]

Have not yet picked up my ticket from the box office, but on the confirmation mail from crowdsurge it says 8pm

Yup 5 hours difference here on the East Coast, so by 4:00 PM, updates should start rolling in..

[lonestar]

That means 1PM for me. It is my naptime, but I may make an exception today...

I'd hit the nap, and then when you wake up..BAM..like Christmas morning!

[cyberdrummer]

If you're out and about and can't check the forum very easily, I will be posting updates on the DTF Twitter and Facebook pages.

[OsMosis2259]

Looking forward to it. Thanks everyone for the updates!

[GasparXR]

It sounds like the show is starting around 3-4 PM in my time zone, so I will be up. I'm surprised I was able to sleep last night knowing that DT is starting their world tour, in another continent no less! I think I might be a fanboy.  Thanks again to anyone posting updates.

Edit: Whoops, didn't see the next page and that you guys are talking about the curfews and all of that stuff.  All right, cool.

So to clarify, what time do you guys think this show will end?

It's Dream Theater, the show will never end.

doors open in 1.5 hours, showtime soon after.   

[mikeyd23]

I'll be following this thread! Can't wait to see pics, song choices and soon after videos!!! Another DT chapter begins! 

[keys76]

Show starts at 9.30 which is in 3h and 45 minutes. Been there this afternoon and in front of me now is the setlist. Ohhh my f#$cking God!

[Anguyen92]

^^ Great job with teasing us there with that last statement.  You have my (and probably everyone else's) interest now.

[Prog Snob]

Correction to my time posting.  I used the DT site which said 8PM CET not realizing Porto is in WET.  So whooops. 

[keys76]

Blob, did you do the intro? (Yep folks, spoiler alert. They're doing an intro)

[cyberdrummer]

I can't wait 3 and a half hours!

[Shadow2222]

I'm more excited for this tour than I have for any since becoming a DT fan 6 years ago.

[BlobVanDam]

Blob, did you do the intro? (Yep folks, spoiler alert. They're doing an intro)

Yes, but let's not give any more spoilers! It's only a few more hours away!

[DreamerTV]

Out of interest, what's the setlist?! 

[Nihil-Morari]

I really want to see the setlist too!

[bosk1]

He can spoil all he wants.  In this sub-forum, spoilers should be expected.

[wasteland]

Please, deliver the setlist Keys 

[cyberdrummer]

I'd rather he didn't! It's fine to expect spoilers here after the first show, but not before the tour has even begun!

[wasteland]

Maybe he can post in tiny text?

[genome]

I can hereby reveal the setlist will definitely include False Awakening Suite, The Enemy Inside, The Looking Glass, Along For The Ride and Illumination Theory

I'd be annoyed if my work was spoiled only hours before it's shown, and I don't think the band would be happy about the setlist being revealed hours beforehand either. During the show though? Bring it on!

[keys76]

No spoilers. Just 2 thumbs up for you.

[bosk1]

To be clear, I'm not saying he SHOULD do that.  I'm just clarifying that what was posted as a preference is certainly not a forum rule.  In general, spoilers are permitted (and should be expected) in this sub-forum.  That's all.

And, yes, I also agree that the best course is to show restraint and NOT post that before the show starts.

[Jinx]

I'm afraid I'm using my phone so cant link you up, but @ThomasPasieka on Twitter states that his videos and artwork and being played on the 'video wall' on this tour.

A whole backdrop playing artwork and videos would be insane!
