Just got this from MP.com :omg:
Dream Theater will be doing a few select headlining shows on some of the days off throughout the Iron Maiden tour.
Please note these will not be traditional DT shows in terms of production...as it is in the midst of the Maiden tour, we are not carrying our usual lighting and video show...so instead these will be small intimate club shows...just like the good(?) 'ol days!
So come sweat it out with us.....
June 21, Roseland Theater, Portland, OR (Opening Act TBA) - On sale 4/23/10
July 2, Newport Music Hall, Columbus, OH - On sale 4/24/10
Special Guests: BEATALLICA
July 10, Palladium, Worcester, MA - On sale 4/16/10
Special Guests: CHARRED WALLS OF THE DAMNED
(featuring Richard Christy and Ripper Owens)
-
Please god, give me an off date closer than Worcester.
-
US only? :tdwn
But oh my god I love the idea of a dvd! Great stuff that they're trying this again!
-
US only? :tdwn
Says one of the markets to get an actual DT headlining tour.

I have been screwed on concerts today. First Rush now DT.

How so? You mean before this announcement was made, there were zero DT shows scheduled in your town, and now after the announcement, there are now similarly...zero shows scheduled? Yeah, sounds like a huge net loss for you. :justjen
-
Damn, Portland, OR is a managable couple hours' drive away, but I'd have to leave work early. So tempted.... curious what a ticket would cost since Maiden/DT ate up my concert budget for this year. Damn, that concert is the next day. That could be a back-to-back overload of music awesomeness.
-
Do you think they will play any sort of special setlists considering its a different type of show?
An entire album?
Mostly older stuff?

:lol I'm too much of an optimist for my own good.
Rush had came around my area on the last few tours and for some reason I thought DT would come around.

The Palladium, Worcester, MA!!!! I'm Soooooo there. To cap it off, it's on a Saturday night!!!!!!!!
-
how big is the palladium?...that is the one I am thinking about hitting since I will be flying out there anyways for the MSG show

Even with the clout DT carries, I think the fact that they are a supporting act for Maiden means Maiden's management worked out the tour schedule with their promoters. So even though DT is doing some one-off headlining dates on days off, their schedule is going to necessarily be dictated by the Maiden tour. I just don't think it's realistic to expect that they would have traveled far from any place they were already going to be. I'm not trying to bust your chops over it, but I'm just saying that bands don't normally do that, so it isn't really something that should be expected of DT.

Pretty decent-sized actually. Maybe a bit smaller than the Orpheum.

I liked the idea of a smaller, most personal venue, but I also like the idea of not having to fight for (or pay high price) for a few seats

I completely understand. It was more hope than expecting.

Has anyone seen when tickets might be going on sale?
I'm planning on being at the Columbus show. :metal

C-Bus? YES! I'll be there! And I'll be in line 17248923 hours early so I can get frontsies!

I don't. For one thing, there's nothing wrong, in and of itself with playing clubs. Lots of big name bands do. Second, this is doen as a special treat for the fans in a few select cities, which is completely different than booking an entire club tour. Lots of bands than can sell out bigger venues do occasional intimate "fan appreciation"-type shows as a way to connect with fans on a different level.
-
Definitely hitting the Worcester show
-
Please god, give me an off date closer than Worcester.
Nice!!! Hoping for a NY, NJ, or PA show here!! Opening act, Ideosphere? lol
Contractually, we are not able to play headlining dates in close proximity to the Maiden/DT shows....
BTW, that is not Maiden being difficult...it's actually standard industry touring protocol...it was the same when Zappa or Opeth did one-offs from Progressive Nation....
-
hmmm I wonder what constitutes 'close proximity'. They're not really playing a show in LA on the Maiden tour, maybe they'll do another club show there *pleaseohpleaseohplease*
-
HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT DT ARE COMING TO PORTLAND!I never would have thought I'd get to see them without a three hour drive to Seattle.

This. For example, U2 routinely sells out stadiums all over the world, but they played a couple of club dates not too long ago.
Hopefully, they will stretch themselves a little as far as the setlist on the club shows.

Now just gotta talk one of my friends into going

Cool, the Palladium was the venue for my first DT show in '04. Guess I can drive the 4 hours again.

Exactly.
Another good example - 3 years ago Paul McCartney played a show at the Highline Ballroom in NYC, which has a capacity of 700.

I SO WANT TO BE THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

does anyone have any info on when the Worcester show goes on sale? went to the palladium site and concert was not listed? this will be my first dt show and i cant miss this one!! please help with any info,,,thanks jc :metal :hat :tup :hefdaddy
-
I'm pretty sure on-sale dates haven't been announced yet. I'm anxiously awaiting this info too, as I definitely want to make this show.
-
Transatlantic tour, Iron Maiden tour, DT clubshows and MP said that we ain't seen nothing yet!!!
WOW, it's a good time to be a DT fan. :biggrin:

This is such awesome news. Now, I get to see DT for the first time in Portland and then the next day I drive up to Seattle to see DT again then Iron Maiden for the first time. These will be the most epic two days ever.

I will probably end up doing the reverse of this :) Just need to get out of work early on Monday as well as Tuesday. No way could I make it down to PDX in time otherwise.
Have you ever been to that venue in PDX? If so, how is it? I looked online at some of the acts they have booked there coming up and the prices seemed pretty reasonable, yes?
-
Heh, this is cool! Much rather see DT by themselves in a club than opening for Maiden. Too bad the wedding I'm attending in Portland happens a week before their show there. :lol

Sounds like the end of "the human equation"

All the shows I've seen there in the past have been $20-$30. And I'll probably end up taking the day after the Maiden show off. I work a very early morning shift so by the time I got back to Portland it would be time to go to work and I wouldn't have the energy for it. :lol

Holy fuck! Columbus!!!!!
That's a relatively small venue, too. :metal :metal :metal :metal

I have the impression snagging tickets for those shows is going to be tough.

According to the internet, the Worcester venue holds about 2,000 people, so I'd imagine tix will be obtainable if you try for them within a relatively short period after they go on sale... but they probably will go pretty quickly.

It'd be cool to see them at The Chance in Poughkeepsie, Exodus and DragonForce have played there. Not sure if that's too close to the NJ/NY shows though, it's in CT.

I was going to go to the NJ DT/IM show, but now I think I might cancel that and hit up the palladium!

I think DT used to play there regularly back in the day. But that's not Connecticut... Poughkeepsie is in NY...

:dammitamanda: for me not knowing what state something's in when it's in my state.
I'm actually going there Sunday. It's a really cool place and I wish I was alive when they played there! :lol But I think it's be cool for them to play it again to commemorate how far they've come! :lol
-
This is great news! :tup To bad that they're not going to film anything, but its nice to know that they record the audio of every show on a computer anyway, so hopefully one or more shows will get on sale later on.

Does anybody have any idea when tickets go on sale for these?

Im in no boat to complain since Im seeing them in NJ and NY, but it would be really cool to see them on an club environment for one off shows. Have fun for the people who go!

Does anybody that is familiar with Newport Music Hall (Columbus) happen to know what the "bigger" bands charge (on average) for tickets?
I'm hearing 35 (plus fees)... Does that sound about right?

UPDATE!

Special Guests: BEATALLICA
That sounds like a cool opening band;
Beatallica is a mash-up band that plays music made from combinations of songs of The Beatles and Metallica. A Beatallica song is typically a blend of a Beatles song and a Metallica song with a related title (e.g. "The Thing That Should Not Let It Be", combining The Beatles' "Let It Be" and Metallica's "The Thing That Should Not Be" or "And Justice for All My Loving" combining Metallica's "And Justice for All" and the Beatles' "All My Loving"), though sometimes just a Beatles song will be used as a basis with modified lyrics. The lyrics slip back and forth between the two songs—occasionally neither in lieu of original lyrics comically referencing Metallica, heavy metal music or the heavy metal community—while the scansion and melody are usually Beatles-based, the music is played metal style with some Metallica riffs and solos thrown in. Consistent quirks made in the lyrics also criticize glam metal much in the fashion that thrash metal fans would do, as well as many references to blood.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatallica
Sounds like a kind of band Mike would like to hear as well, combining two of his favourite bands.
-
From what I've read on his forum MP is a fan of Beatallica. I'm sure he got them to be the opening act :)
-
This isn't the first time they've opened for DT either. If my memory is correct, they opened on one of the headlining dates in the middle of the Yes tour as well.
-
sure wish Beatallica was opening in MA as well
-
IT'S BEEN A GARAGE DAYS NIGHT

I think they're on tour right now. They're playing a show near me on April 22nd, which I'm dying to go to, but have to pass up for a work happy hour thing... :/
-
Can I get these tickets through ticket master? Or is there somewhere special I need to go?
Also, these mini shows. Will DT play their regular music, or are they like acoustic and covers?

I highly doubt DT would do an acoustic set at the palladium. Most shows there are metal oriented... I'm expecting a similar set to the IM shows.... maybe 12 step suite in its entirety.

3. Trial of Tears
4. Machine Messiah (Yes cover)
5. Stream of Consciousness
6. The Spirit Carries On
7. Solitary Shell
8. About to Crash (reprise)
9. Losing Time/Grand Finale
And the one-off show at the Palladium during the Yes tour:
1. Metropolis Pt. 1
2. This Dying Soul
3. Peruvian Skies
4. War Inside My Head
5. The Test That Stumped Them All
6. A Fortune in Lies
7. Endless Sacrifice
8. improv jam
9. Through My Words

12. Stream of Consciousness
13. The Spirit Carries On
14. Solitary Shell
15. About to Crash (reprise)
16. Losing Time/Grand Finale
---encore---
17. In the Name of God
Songs in bold are obviously songs that were played at both concerts.

I see that Columbus tickets are on sale the 24th.
I'm also wondering, will I be able to just purchase these through TicketMaster?

They just announce the opening band for the Portland show. Does anyone know anything about Presto Ballet? I've never heard of them.
-
I really hope so, because I live 3 hours away, and if I had to go there to get the tickets, then... well, i couldn't go!
But every other gig is available to buy through ticketmaster on their website, so I would assume it will be the same for DT

Just listened to "CHARRED WALLS OF THE DAMNED". Verdict: Ugh.
I guess that'll make the meetup longer :biggrin:

Evoking a classic 70's feel, their songs herald a return to a time when music was at its most colorful and influential. With tasteful guitar parts, crunching Hammond organ and rich vocals, the band follows a path previously tread by rock pioneers such as Kansas, Yes, Genesis and Deep Purple.
I’m listening at work I’m not giving it a 100% honest listen, but it sounds pretty good. Well constructed and produced, at least. Not too heavy (as noted above, more of a 70s keyboard-driven prog vibe). Nothing I’m going to run about and buy, but curious how they will perform live. Should be a decent opener.
Is anyone else here going to this show other than you and me? And have you ever been to this venue? Looks like you can buy tickets from their website (or an affiliate they use – not ticketmaster).

I've given them a bit of a listen and they remind me more of Kansas than anything.
Yes, I've been in the venue once for Porcupine Tree.

And man, this is gonna be awesome. After having seen DT for God knows how many times in seated venues, GA will be sooooo awesome.

seriously, especially if it's right after you got up.
Wait, what are we talking about :neverusethis:
-
50 dollars was a lot more than I was expecting.... not so cheap after all. :p
-
Seeing that these shows are in small clubs, do you think that they will play more lighter songs, like Lifting Shadows Off A Dream, Octavarium, Innoncence Faded, Learning to Live, etc. ?
Or they will stick with the songs they play on the IM tour, with obviously more heavier stuff ?
-
I expect a mix. Like a normal DT show.
-
But do you think we can expect a setlist like with songs we've had on the PN09 tour and the shows in South America, or will it be a totally different setlist with a totally new setlist ?
I see a chance for them to play The Best Of Times.
-
I would hope the setlist for these 3 won't be lifted directly from the PN09 shows. However, I also sincerely doubt there will be anything new played for the first time.
-
Unless they're also playing it for the first time in Maiden shows.
-
Haha wow I was at work freaking out over not being able to order tickets until now (which is about 1pm). I was afraid they'd sell out. But like you guys stated, very easy, very quick.
I grabbed these as a precaution, so in the event that I end up on Ripper's guest list, I shall put my two tix up for grabs here first (I'll only ask for 95 for the pair, as that's what I payed with the processing fees and such).
-
I am beginning the process of arranging my MSG trip to include this show...I hope tix are still available :'(
-
is anyone driving from nyc, long island or CT to the worcester show? want to split gas/food costs?
-
Wow, trekking from NYC to Worcester? That's dedication.

Map Quest says that my journey there will take 2 hours and three minutes, just over 105 miles.
-
I'll be going about 180 miles to the Roseland PDX show. But since it's a Monday, I'm taking that day off work and making a three-day weekend trip of it with my wife. No, she didn't buy that as being particularly romantic on my part, but her love of weekend getaways made up for it.
Also, rumborak's 'Charred Remains of a Bass Drum' made me :lol
-
And then the very next day I'm making that same trip the other way. :-\

it will probably be worth it to see them in that environment, and i'll only do it if i can share a ride with someone. it'll be a tiring weekend, but that's fine by me.
-

I doubt that will happen, either.
-
glaurung, what's up the presale on the Roseland's website? It doesn't have any details about it. Any knowledge?
-
Worcester,here we come!!! Got my 2 tickets 10:30 this morning,easy and painless. This is my first time seeing DT and have seen other shows at the palladium. Cool place to see a show and within a hour of my house. July cant come fast enough !!! Anybody out there see them in such a intimate setting. Cant wait to have a couple of adult beverages with the DT faithful . :metal :metal :metal

I have no idea. When I checked a couple days ago DT wasn't even on their websites concert schedule.

He was telling meabout that on the ride to see Glass Prison and had ample time to tell the story since I got us lost!

Standing room only.
-
To clarify, The Palladium is not a "Club". It's a theater.

Yeah. And the palladium draws a big metal crowd as I said before, so I doubt this is gonna be acoustic or anything.
-
Correct. And Charred Walls opening, plus being in the middle of the Maiden tour, pretty much confirms that this will be a fairly "heavy" set. And for that, I am very excited :metal

GA is the only way concerts should be. I remember coming to the US, going to my first DT concert, thinking "wow, this stinks. I'm hundreds of feet away from the stage, with shitloads of empty seat everywhere, wedged with my legs in front of that stupid seat."

I'd go to the Columbus show, but it has to be on the Friday of the busiest week of the year at my job :(
