2019 set list and tour discussion (**KEEP ALL SPOILERS HERE**)

[KevShmev]

I kind of wish they snuck a TA song in the first set. Like moment of betrayal or something on the heavier side of TA. I just hate how they've already stopped playing songs from it. I know a song like ITPOE is more fresh but the TA songs are short and it felt like maybe they could sneak one in and maybe win some fans over on that album by playing one of the heavier songs. Oh well, just hope this lack of TA doesnt extent much longer that this becomes the album DT never goes back to.

I could not agree more.  Our New World is the closest thing they have to a straight-forward riff rock song and is a natural live tune.  If they miss the boat and avoid playing that live any time soon, that will be a damn shame.

Surprised there aren't more YT vids.  Is Insideout taking them down?  Sorry if against rules to ask that question...

I think someone mentioned that security wasn't letting them use their cell phones.  From what you can see from the crowd in the two videos we have I don't see anyone with their phone out.

From JP FB page:



That looks soooooo cool!

Sure is!

Also there are some great pictures on DT FB from the concert taken by this guy: https://www.instagram.com/alexdrumming/

In line at the Wiltern an hour early before doors open.  I'm near the front of the entrance.  Now we wait.

If you could keep us update in real time, that would be awesome

[Anguyen92]

I'll see what I can do.  The most you would get out of me is an update during intermission

[Another_Won]

So I'm assuming they played the song videos during the concert.  I hope they didn't use the bad robot version of Paralyed 

[Architeuthis]

I'll see what I can do.  The most you would get out of me is an update during intermission

Just enjoy the show!  You can post later afterwards or even wait til tomorrow,   time to take it all in.  In otherwords, don't worry about updating or being a slave to your phone. Your about to witness something great!   

[RaiseTheKnife]

I'll post if anything is different from last night.  No zen riffer in sight suggests that S2N will not make the cut.

EDIT:  Jordan plays the Zen Riffer all over the place, but still no S2N.  Keith brought out the Zen from off stage.

[RaiseTheKnife]

Since this is a spoiler section i will report that untethered angel skips the intro and jumps right into the heavy riff.  Or so i was told.

[Anguyen92]

I'm at my seat it may be far back, but at least it is centered.  That's it for me until intermission

What was that at 7.49 mark?

Someone in the audience stepped on a cat?!?!? 

[bill1971]

So curious if any changes.

[Anguyen92]

At intermission.  No changes, band is playing really well.  Sounds loud and clear.  Now the bad news.  My view is blocked which makes it hard to see the entire stage clearly and there’s a lot of tall people in front making it hard to see JP clearly.

[CaelPetrucci]

So the rotating sets seems to so far be inaccurate. Here's hoping that Pull Ms Under is pulled out of the show tonight.
How are they doing the MP Growl? Knowing that they re-recorded a lot of Mike's parts makes me very curious if James or John are gonna sing that part live.

[fadetoblackdude7]

Another tour where SDOIT and 8vm are neglected 😞

[CaelPetrucci]

Yeah, would seem that way. Panic Attack would've been a perfect follow-up to Paralyzed. Wasted potential

[Dedalus]

Is it the same setlist? 

Bring MP back...

Thanks for the update! A bit of a bummer that they're playing the same set, but it's a DT concert, so it's great anyway.

Hoping they change the encore, though.

[CaelPetrucci]

I'm wondering if you need to see two shows in the same city to see any different songs. If it continues to be the same setlist tomorrow, the band has misinformed us about a major part of this set that people are coming to see.

Still, I'm happy enough with that setlist, minus PMU. Just wish S2N, AWE or FItL was in there.

Sorry, which part have they misinformed us on? The Awake part?

Talking about rotating sets.

[porcacultor]

I think it's likely they'll change the set up a bit for the second night in a row at the same venue... but even if they don't, it's still a great show.

[Pettor]

Another tour where SDOIT and 8vm are neglected 😞

Yeah, as a SDOIT lover it was long since that album got any attention at all. How is Glass Prison still not being played?

Other than that I think the set is very heavy rocking which I like. It's most likely gonna be awesome too see live and James are gonna do these songs fantastic!

But remind me why we have SFAM anniversary again? I love the album but it was just two tours since last for SFAM and previous was I&W. At one point I just hope they stop with the anniversary thingy for a while. At least do like last time and keep it in shorter chunks.

[Anguyen92]

All right, I'm back from the LA show.  Overall, I say I had a great time and that it was easily worth the $25.00 that Ticketmaster offered on the Holiday Hangover deal.  That stated, I, in good conscience, cannot call it a perfect concert, for me, like I thought Within Temptation, last Tuesday at the same place as DT today, was close to a perfect concert (which had been for a long time reserved for three shows that I really loved), which I still need to post that long review of that show in the Within Temptation thread.  More on my thoughts of the DT show in a couple of hours after I recover from the drive home.

What do you mean by already? They played two songs from it pretty much throughout all of the I&W tour last year. They did ignore the album this time around, but there are eight more albums from which not a single song was played last night.

Oh, come on,  FFS, none of that. Let it go.

Open your heart, be set free.

Why is there a backing track of LaBrie's vocals underneath the last chorus? It's exactly the same vocal line, it's not even the harmony.

PBD is absolutely out of this world, such tight playing! Also Manginis cymbal placement made sense in a recording environment, but live? . His shoulder must hurt like hell playing this kind of music every other night. I get a feeling that is just a mangini thing to keep himself busy learning different techniques and positions 

[Addy]

Yeah, watching Mangini is freakin' enjoyable as hell. Petruccinator's system.exe stopped working a couple of times though
