DT to play the whole I&W in full next year!

[NicoAlonso]

Hi there.
Has anyone recieved the meet & greet instructions email for the first shows?
I paid for a platinum ticket for Milan 4th february show, and still haven't. 
Thank you.

[NOMAC2107]

What if the opening song us Our New World or Astonishing? Neither would hit me as an opener exactly, but that's one of the thing that Bosk said. Also, it's at the ending of the second disc, well within that 25 minute mark.

No.

-It isn't a monster track
-The Astonishing comes first in the alphabet, not at the end
-Bosk said he re-arranged the order of the album, he wouldn't do that for a concept album like TA
-etc.

We'll see though...

I missed the monster opening and I forgot of the other two main points. Damn. Oh well, thanks for correcting me

[MirrorMask]

With the tour about to start, I think it's time to kick myself out of this tread. I'm an extremist when it comes to go to concerts without knowing the setlist, so with half of the show already known (Images and Words) there's no way I wanna know also the rest.

For a week I guess I won't even open this and the concerts section, just in case 

Have fun you all that will want to discover the setlist song by song, as for me, I want nothing to do with it! hurray for surprises at the show!

[cramx3]

  there is a setlist already listed on setlist.fm which can't be right https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/dream-theater/2017/sala-santa-cecilia-auditorium-parco-della-musica-rome-italy-1bf8c97c.html

Cool set list. 

[RodrigoAltaf]

Will there be a topic here in DTF where we follow the setlist as it unfolds tonight?

The Count of Tuscany and A Change of Seasons for the encore??? The guy who wrote that setlist wants to kill the band

[noxon]

Here's the stage lit

And some strange guy taking a selfie of the stage...

From DT's facebook:

Images, Words & Beyond tour starts today in Italy! Which begs the question, spoilers or not? Will you be taking a peek at the setlist, or waiting to be completely surprised for the N. American tour? Dates for N. America should be coming soon.

Right?! Maybe the huge sound system and lighting rigs, the drums, amps, keys, the huge backdrop that looks like a bunch of screens, etc...

[goo-goo]

Seems like they are going to change it up in the video screen department. Looks very interesting.

I don't know, it doesn't look interesting to me.  I'll wait till it's in use though cause the way they use the lighting will play a huge role, but it looks like there are no screens which is disappointing considering how beautiful the screens were for TA and DT12 tours.

Looks cooler this way, I think. I loved the Astonishing tour video configuration, but I did miss the video cameras showing the members of the band in the screens. I hope there are some this time around.

But why be an ass and put a freakin' facepalm emoji if you don't agree with my thoughts?

EDIT: Look at Jordan's selfie. Those are video screens.

[cramx3]

JR's selfie doesn't show screens, well not to my eyes, looks like lighting to me.

Hard to tell.  But we'll know soon.

Yup, either way, a stage is just a stage.  Need to see the lighting and everything in action to really form an opinion.  Even if they have no screens at all, it may be fitting given it's the performance of an older album before they toured with screens.  It's just that... the screens in the past were so awesome.

[Architeuthis]

It looks like the light show will be awesome! There are alot of lights mounted up above the speaker mains and all over for that matter.

[RodrigoAltaf]

How long until the show starts?

[the keyboard wizard]

Approximately 1h15

[RodrigoAltaf]

I´m assuming we´ll follow up the setlist in this topic?

[mikeyd23]

Probably should have a thread in the concerts subforum.

[RodrigoAltaf]

Mikey, please post it here if you find out - I haven´t seen this thread when I last looked it up...

[bosk1]

Maybe post it here:  https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=49470.0

[RodrigoAltaf]

 

[TheAtliator]

Just saying it would be awesome to open with Forsaken. But I think it might be Endless Sacrifice still.

[bosk1]

No! One! Dared To!

Speak of the FII instrumental

[Jinx]

That setup looks awesome. As someone pointed out a LOT of lighting there.

Is it just me or does DT just seem more "big time" with these bigger stage setups?

Yeah, but it's Europe. DT has always had a great following overseas (Europe and Japan). I hope they bring the same stage setup to the US.
