2014-01-15 - Coliseu do Porto - Porto, POR

The venue is nicely packed by the way.

Is this an innuendo of some kind?

Inyouandwho?

That's what I thought.

Oh, Hi Mike.

[GasparXR]

I'm curious as to how they performed the fade-in intro.

[bosk1]

Other than the obvious FAS->The Enemy Inside, and finishing one set with IT, The Shattered Fortress was my only other prediction.  Awesome that I got that one right.  I CANNOT WAIT to see it state side.    I only wish they were playing The Glass Prison immediately before it.

Backs of angels. Fas was indeed an intro tape

Me too, im intrigued

[cyberdrummer]

False Awakening Suite (intro tape)
1. The Enemy Inside
2. The Shattered Fortress
3. On the Backs of Angels

[lonestar]

Oh. Hell. Yes.

[Estiui]

Backs of angels. Fas was indeed an intro tape

First disappointment of the setlist.

[Tomislav95]

The Shattered Fortress is on of my least favorites by DT but on second thought I'd actually like to hear it live

[Laughingplace56]

Hopefully they rotate The Shattered Fortress with The Glass Prison

YES. I really like TSF, but TGP would be fucking amazing.
Also, i wonder how different this set will be on the US leg, and if they're rotating sets every night.
And having TSF and OtBoA this early in the set feels kinda weird because they don't normal construct their sets like that but i'm all for it 

[cyberdrummer]

I guess that's no surprise really, lead 'single' from the last album.

Purely a guess, but my best guess is:  Hold the last chord of TEI until it starts to feedback, and then just start the "chugga, chugga, chugga" of The Shattered Fortress at full volume rather than as a fade-in.

?

I love that song. I am glad they are playing it, wonder if there is another segue into WIMH. Doubt it. That was one of my favourite parts of the last tour.

I pretty much knew it was going to show up again since it was nominated for a Grammy. It kind of is their new Pull Me Under, in a way.

BTW, keys76 said Surprise 1 earlier, so I know we are in for some good stuff later!

[bosk1]

I guess that's no surprise really, lead 'single' from the last album.

And Grammy-nominated first single at that.  I think it is a no-brainer that they would have played it.

EDIT:  Kinda ninja'd

I've been saying that for months. They won't take that song out of their set for quite a while for that reason. And if TEI wins the Grammy, that'll be in for a while too.

It's just that I saw that song in the last tour and, since it is not one of my all time favs, I'd like to hear another song

That works. I wouldn't be surprised if that's how they actually did it.

[genome]

I'm going for a ballad-type song next. Surrounded?

[cyberdrummer]

Innocence Faded or Hollow Years is my prediction.

[Weymolith]

Roof is going to blow off when the second set begins! 

(That's all I'll say.)

[SystematicThought]

Or Mangini plays that drum pattern for a few moments, then the guitar comes in

[Estiui]

I do not think so (I'd love it though) since they played it on the last tour.

I'm thinking The Looking Glass or something like Blind Faith or Misunderstood

It's a 3 hour set... you're bound to get duplicates.

Change of Seasons??   Cmon I can dream cant I...

If that means TGP i'll die.

Innocence Faded or Hollow Years is my prediction.

Not fond of either so please no

You and Keys are making this much more exciting haha.

[lonestar]

I must say, and I'm sure Bosk will agree with me, it was a lot more fun last tour being in the audience for the first show.

[JRundquist]

If there is a ballad, I'd like to see Disappear or Anna Lee.

[TAC]

(That's all I'll say ACOS .)

Nice

[GasparXR]

I don't even want to go to the bathroom because 15 posts will fly by. It's the pre-ADTOE thread all over again.
