Combo of what I'd rather see and what I can foresee happening

[Grizz]

They should bring Eve back.

[wasteland]

They should bring Eve back.

Welcome to the family.

[TheAtliator]

I would LOVE Scarred and Finally Free!! Absolutely anything from Awake as long as it's not edited and it should not be 6:00 or CIAW just because they did those last tour.

[?]

They should bring Eve back.

Quoted for absolute agreement.

[serrano]

Quoted for absolute agreement.

Awesome but unlikely.

[wasteland]

I believe that the main obstacle for Eve is that the song hasn't been played in 15 years, and has since been probably semi-forgotten by the band, not a particular obstacle like with ACOS, that's too long or SDV, that's supposedly too personal.

[?]

To be honest I don't think they'll ever play Eve again, which is something that makes me a crestfallen panda

Maybe then a valid question for the M&G. But i don't think i'll hear it live again.

[Lucien]

We don't know if Behind the Veil is a ballad, lol

[SystematicThought]

We don't know if Behind the Veil is a ballad, lol

That's what I thought at first when I saw it was acoustic. Behind the Veil turns out to be a balls to the wall, all out aural assault.

[TheAtliator]

I was just making a guess, as with all the other songs. I imagined what I thought they might feel like and that's how I placed them where I did.

[SystematicThought]

Well, it wouldn't surprise me if Behind The Veil was an acoustic number.

[?]

"Tired bones beneath the veil"

OMG Behind the Veil is Beneath the Surface 2!!! 

[aprilethereal]

I just imagined how awesome it would be if they brought Raise The Knife or Anna Lee (recently fell in love with this song) / Trial Of Tears back into the set

[wasteland]

I don't care for Raise The Knife, but ToT's been absent for far too long. Time to bring it back, band!

[aprilethereal]

I always thought the version of RTK from the FII demos was pretty good, but since I listened to Score for the first time about a month ago I can't get enough of the song.

[?]

[mike099]

The song I would love to hear is the Shattered Fortress simply because it rocks and I love the keyboard solo.  Since I know they will never play it(not sure they ever played TSF), I would settle for Lines in the Sand.

[Voices]

1) Blind Faith would be great, because CIM's version isn't good for such a wonderful song.

2) I really want to see Lifting Shadows Off A Dream...love that song!

3) Trial Of Tears (even though the Budokan's version is very nice, I want to see Mangini playing this one!)

4) And Home (because the last time I saw videos of it on youtube, MP always speeds up the song...I don't like that  )

[matte.braso]

I want Instrumedley....including the new instrumental

[aprilethereal]

I'd rather have full songs.

[?]

Luckily it's probable that we'll only get full songs Besides, I bet the band would rather play the new instrumental in full than a snippet of it.

[aprilethereal]

The Mirror
Space-Dye Vest
Hollow Years
Anna Lee
Trial Of Tears
Raise The Knife
Anything From SFAM
The Glass Prison
Stream Of Consciousness
In The Name Of God
These Walls
I Walk Beside You
Sacrificed Sons
Octavarium
A Nightmare To Remember
The Count Of Tuscany

They should really bring some of these back.

[?]

These Walls is very unlikely due to the fact that it was played on the ADTOE tour, but we'll see about the rest...

[aprilethereal]

Ah okay, didn't know that. I wanted to list songs that were not played on that tour. Edited my original post

[MoraWintersoul]

They should bring Eve back.

Welcome to the family.

We love you very very much.

[Lucien]

If Octavarium is played I'm probably going to strangle a ticket out of my father

So on the upcoming tour I think we can safely assume that at least ONE song from Images and Words will be played. Now, I was thinking that the only song from IAW that didnt get played on the Dramatic Tour was Take The Time. So could we see it this time around?

That's my line of thought too! But with a caveat: Metropolis is too big, beloved and anthemic song for the band to leave it completely out of the picture for an entire tour cycle (so far it only happened once, in 2002). Plus, the song was played only a handful of times in Europe, and never during the main tour in promotion of ADTOE. I would say it's not unlikely for it to make an appearance in the early stages of the tour.

The other two songs that got a small stage time last time (and generally in the last 7 years) are LTL and Another Day. They could make a return, but I don't see that happening for the only reason that songs as vocally challanging as they are may not be a great idea to preserve James's voice intact for a full world tour of 2,5/3h shows.

So, Take The Time is the most reasonable option, yes.

Actually this made me think: DT are going to play long shows and there may be even 3 or 4 dates in a row with no off-dates in between, so I wonder if they'll play some song(s) in a lower key or tuning for the sake of James' voice...
