Ok, well good then.

Seriously I was listening to DT12 on the way to work this morning really thinking about how the Boston setlist will be constructed.

[DTFan0789]

Here's to hoping that they add Surrender to Reason by the time they comes to the states! "Reeeeeestlesssssss, Annnnnnngellllllls" 

[bosk1]

Okay, yeah.  Actually, they ARE going to change their set lists.  By the time they come to the states, they hope to be playing 4 hour sets that rotate every officially released track in their catalog, plus b-sides, plus Majesty songs.  And they're going to take fan polls each night before each show to figure out which ones get the most votes.

I'm amazed it took you this long to snap. I've been holding back for a good while now

You realize this thread will now become about explaining multple times you were being sarcastic there? 

[RodrigoAltaf]

Just came back to the hotel. Same setlist as the one in Porto. Most technical issues fixed, except for the intro video which was not shown tonight.

The only down side today is that I had the meet & greet, and the guys were not in the mood at all...totau detached and wanting it to be over asap. I gave two CDs from bands from friends of mine - one to Petrucci and another one to Mangini, which they actually left at the tabe!

Three other people in the meet & greet were of the same opinion: one guy brought drum sticks he picked from Mangini when he played in Spain with Vai years ago to be autographed, but he acted like he couldn't give a f#%&&ck...maybe they were tense about getting the gear right, or upset about something else, but hey, it's not our fault!!

So what time will the shows start?

[Prog Snob]

The setlist didn't change? 

[cyberdrummer]

Nope.

[Dave_Manchester]

To be fair, I don't think you should have done this, they won't care about your friends' bands, and even if they did, a meet and greet just before an unusually stressful show wasn't the time to try and push them.

[Prog Snob]

Nope.

I had no idea about that. I wish bosk someone would have said something.

Yeah, but leaving it at the table!?!??? That's rude, to say the least. And like I said, other people fely dismissed as well. At least now I have both Cds of this lineup autographef by the whole band.

[Dave_Manchester]

Fair enough Rodrigo. Hopefully the band will put Madrid's events behind them and move on from it. You're correct that it's not your - or the other fans' - fault what happened. I guess I'm just sympathizing equally with DT, they probably put so much work into their preparations for the show and what happened yesterday must have been soul-destroying. It's understandable if they were really on edge tonight. They're some of rock's good guys, they'll be ok soon enough. Glad you got your albums signed.

[Estiui]

How was the show? Why couldn't the opening video be played? How many people were in the concert?

Everyone in the meet and greet photos look they're having a good time to me. (shrugs)

PSH...who are they, Marillion?!

-Marc.

[Madman Shepherd]

It would be great if they rotated the set...ya know, put JM stage left and JP stage right.  It would be easier on them than changing what songs they play every night.

I knew there was a good reason why I planned to see the whole North American leg of the tour!   

[RodrigoAltaf]

No worries, Dave.

Aside from that, to say that they NAILED IT is an understatement. Boy, were they on fire tonight! James sounded awesome on IT, much better than in Porto. I believe theu're getting closer to their comfory zone with the setlist, abd tomorrow in Barcelona is looking much more promissing!

Greeeeat to hear that! I'm so stoked for tuesday!

I don't want to be the party pooper, but that would actually be a unitary, rather than ortogonal transformation. The xy reflection which would swap JP with JM on stage is clearly not connected to the identical transformation via the variation of an infinitesimal parameter, hence is not a member of SO(2) and consequentially not a rotation at all.

Still, post of the month candidate, man

Perhaps he was referring to a 3-dimensional line reflection about the horizontal axis that perpendicularly bisects the line segment connecting JP and JM, which would have the effect of swapping their places while simultaneously corresponding to the member of SO(3) indicating a 180 degree rotation about the same axis.

[RodrigoAltaf]

Maybe they could swap JP and JR's places only for The Mirror, huh? Geddit?

[GasparXR]

If it was a reflection on stage, they would suddenly be playing left-handed.

[The Letter M]

If you rotated the set, wouldn't we be seeing their backs? I mean, that'd be cool to watch MM's playing and all, but who'd want to look at their backs all night?!

-Marc.

[Laughingplace56]

What if they vertically rotate it and have the stage hanging from the roof, making them play upside down for 3 hours? That'd be real cool, and i'm sure they'd shake the massive rush of blood to their heads eventually.

[Madman Shepherd]

I DON'T KNOW WHATS GOING ON!!!

*sigh*

[GasparXR]

*sigh*

What made you think there was a different setlist?

[Prog Snob]

*sigh*

Because no one has said otherwise anywhere in this thread.

I'm pretty sure there's a higher chance of no one saying anything if they didn't change it. Although, to each their own logic.

[Prog Snob]

I guess I should learn to use this face if I am joking.  Saying this earlier:

Nope.

I had no idea about that. I wish bosk someone would have said something.

...didn't get my sarcasm across.

Use the green text!

Just to match your avatar I will use green text when I am horny being sarcastic.
