At the moment, DT has not announced an opening act for the Portland show, so I thought I would kick around a few (silly) ideas:
1) Big Wreck - I'm sure they're farting around waiting for some action
2) Eisenstein - anyone remember them?
3) Planet X - This would be both cool and ironic at the same time
4) The Beth Hart Band - Haha, hard to believe she actually played on the same bill with DT once.
5) Our Lady Peace - Superman is dead, and so is their career
-
Presto Ballet confirmed as opening act.
-
Thanks for the info. Just listened to a sample. They sound very "Spock's Beard."
-
One month from today!!! :caffeine: Anyone else from here going besides glaurung and myself?
-
I think you, Lat, and I are the only people from DTF who live in the Northwest. I'm not sure if he's going or not though.
-
You aren't the only people out here that have a DT complex! Does Boise , Idaho count as "out here"? I'm going to try my best to get there. But I already bought tix to Bernardino and Concord before they announced the Portland show.
-
I'm flying up from Los Angeles to see the Portland show. Never been to that city, so let me know if there is any "must do's" there.
Seeing DT in San Bernardino, so I'm getting my double dip of DT that weekend.
-
Also coming up from LA.
-
Up from LA? That's a long way to go for a concert!

Up from LA? That's a long way to go for a concert!
Not even close to a long way, furthest was Japan. Portland is just a skip up the coast
-
I'm going to the show with my brother and a friend. I'm new to the board but I've been a huge DT fan since '03. Only seen them once in '04. It's going to kick ass!! :hefdaddy
-
Ahhhhhh I am so excited!!! I think it has been over 6 years since Dream Theater has come to the Land of Ports. Just a couple more weeks!
For those traveling to Portland for the show and want to see some breathtaking Pacific Northwest scenery, the Columbia River Gorge is a short drive. And if you just want a cool place to hang out in town, then I recommend the Hawthorne & Belmont districts in SE Portland. And if you want to visit the biggest bookstore you'll ever see, Powell's isn't far away from the venue.
-
Thanks for the suggestions, Dittomist.

Another Oregon fan going to the Roseland show. I just found this fansite last night :biggrin: I have seen a few shows in Portland. I have seen Children of Bodom 3 times. Metallica at the Rose Garden. Megadeth in Salem. A7X at the Memorial Coliseum. And I am seeing Dream Theater in Portland on the 21st then driving up to Auburn to see them and Maiden on the 22nd. I am also going to See Lady Gaga twice in August and plan to see A7X and Megadeth in September. I also have season tickets to the Trail Blazers.
I have a few questions about the show
1) How many songs to you think they will play? I know most of their songs are really long but whats a safe estimate?
2) Are camera's allowed at the Roseland? I have never tried taking one in before.
3) Anybody going to the Auburn,WA show know if Camera's are allowed there?
4) Is there any chance to meet DT after the show? Outside the Roseland there is a gated off area where the bands park their tour buses.
Thanks guys, I can't wait to see them for the first time.
-
Anybody out there?
-
Sharp-Shooter, welcome to the forums. I don't think this sub-section gets viewed much. I've never been to the Roseland but am looking forward to it. I can't remember if it's been mentioned anywhere how much time DT will get.
I'll be at the Aurburn show too but have only been there once, and don't have any idea what their camera policy is. Ifyou're driving up, and have never been there, I suggest parking at the Supermall and taking the free shuttle. The drive to the amphitheater and parking can be a bit of a bitch.
-
Do you think waiting 5 hours in line will be long enough to get a front row spot at the Auburn show? I waited 4 hours for Metallica and I got a front row spot.
-
I've only been to WH Amphitheater once, and had reserved seats, so never had to bother waiting in line. I would think 5 hours would be more than enough, but don't take my word for it.
-
I just got my tixs today for my brother and myself. Now I'm going to 3 shows. See you guys in line or at the will call office! I've only been to the airport in Portland so I'm really looking forward to it.
-
Ok I didn't see a thread for the Auburn show so ill ask here. Since tickets for the Auburn show are paperless does that mean my ticket is my debit card that I bought the tickets with?
-
Yes, bring your credit/debit card that you purchased your ticket with to the Amphitheater.
Cool to see another person hitting up both shows!
-
I can't wait for this show! Driving down from Seattle with the incomparable dtfanatic himself!
Hope my squatchness doesn't block any of your views. HA!
-
@ Cool Chris. Im kinda pissed we didn't get tickets. I like to keep it to remember the show. Maybe we will get a bracelet if we are in the GA floor area. Who knows.
-
One week 'til the show! :caffeine:
-
Just realized that myself. Cool that we are getting the first headlining show. Trying to plan my trip since I'll be comign down from Seattle that day, don't want to be too early but don't want to get stuck in any traffic either.
2) Are camera's allowed at the Roseland? I have never tried taking one in before.
Saw this on the Roseland's website:
Q: What are your policies regarding photo/video/audio?
A: Recording policies are at the band’s discretion and change night to night. You may bring yoru camera with the understanding that you might need to take it back to your car before the show starts.
-
New member to this board but long time DT fan.
I'm visiting Seattle for Summer and have no car.
I'm looking for a ride share to the Portland gig.
I'm willing to pay half the gas cost of travel.
Here is my history of seeing DT live...
Octavarium/Gigantour 2005 Orlando FL
Octavarium/Gigantour 2005 Tampa FL
Octavarium/Dark Side Of The Moon show 2005 London England
G3 JP with MP 2007 Orlando FL
Systematic Chaos 2008 Seattle WA
Liquid Tension Experiment 2008 San Francisco CA
This gig would make a good show to roundup my DT live experiences.
Thanks
Cody

I'm going to email the Roseland early on Monday asking if cameras are allowed in but does anybody know if cameras are allowed at the Auburn show?
-
Show tomorrow!
:caffeine: :caffeine: :caffeine: :caffeine: :caffeine:

We need a :pumped: icon
24 hours. Hope to see you guys there. I'll be the awkward looking guy in the Floyd shirt standing all by himself.
Wait... that's not going to narrow me down at all!
-
Ill be wearing shorts, a black Systematic Chaos shirt and some Fancy lookin Nike shoes. ill probably be in line around 2. I think thats too early but my friends want to go that early so w/e.

Hey guys, first post here. I'll be at the Portland show tonight. Can't wait to see DT for the first time since the ToT tour in 2004. I'll be wearing an Iron Maiden Killers t-shirt tonight. Hopefully there's a merch booth inside the venue to buy a DT t-shirt.
Someone posted a question about cameras at the venue. I've attended many shows here and most bands are obliging when it comes to fans using cameras. I had my camera with my during the ToT tour and no one objected. I would doubt DT would object this time either but who knows? Did anyone call the venur regarding this? If so please share your findings.
Thanks,
Supreeth

Can anyone post the setlist during the show or use Twitter? I'm really anxious to see how long the DT set is for the headlining shows, and to see if they play a generally similar setlist to what was being played a few months back.
-

Me and a couple of friends are driving up for the Auburn show. We're seriously thinking about the shuttle as the road to the venue is quite bad and congested. Are many people from here taking the shuttle?
Thanks!

I'd rather not do it during the show but I will be posting a setlist here and in the setlist thread when I get home.
-
Ok, sounds good.
-
I can't wait to see this setlist. I wonder if it'll have any bearing on the other one off shows.
-
I'll tweet the setlist. Twitter is jdimaggio ...
I'm the big guy in the pink Floyd shirt and blue flannel if ur here

Expected, but still cool. I'm hoping (for my headlining show at least) for:
ANTR
AROP
Mirror
Lie
Wither
Prophets of War
Solitary Shell
In the Name of God
TCOT
Also, Hoppipolla accept my Twitter request

Oh man, I hope that doesn't lower the chances of Mirror/Lie being played at Columbus

Ugh, so many IM show repeats. My friend is definitely not going to like that (check Concert Dilemma thread for update)
-
Panic attack
-
I'm going to at this point bet that As I Am and Pull Me Under will be played. Why did I have to buy IM tickets (that are paperless and basically unsellable)?
-
As I am
-
Pull me under
better be one hell of an encore...
-
Petrucci vs keytar rudess solo!!!!!
-
Pull me under into metropolis w/ tons of solos
-
Encore - count of Tuscany.
Wow... 1 curveball plz :(
-
Wow, just wow. I understand that these concerts as a rule had to be relatively far from any IM show, but to include the whole Iron Maiden tou setlist is just ridiculous. My excitement level has dropped from about 1,000,000,000,000% to about 20%

Seems pretty average to me from the pool of songs they've been doing over the last year. A shame they didn't throw in anything like "In The Name Of God", "Sacrificed Sons", "Erotomania/Voices", or "The Dance Of Eternity/One Last Time/The Spirit Carries On".
It's also a fairly heavy setlist, with the exceptions of HY and TCOT... it's like maybe they were anticipating some IM fans coming out to see more of DT, but if that were the case, they should have NOT played the entire IM-tour setlist within this set. It would've been nice to even see "War Inside My Head/The Test That Stumped Them All"... oh well. This seems like it was a nearly 2 hour show, so it's not terrible, but a bit more variation would've been nice (considering over a third of the show is normally being played at every show, but I guess that was expected considering the few headliners they have during this tour and the lack of preparation to pull out tunes).

Now that that's out of the way.
I had a really awesome time tonight. Was the setlist a shocker? Not at all. But it was still a damn good show.
-
Can't believe people are upset about the set list. I had a blast. My friend caught a drum stick. The only 2 songs I wish they played were Presence of Enemies part 1 and Dark Eternal Night. Opening with A Nightmare to Remember was AWESOME.
-
So I met -Sharp-Shooter- while standing in line, that was pretty cool. Sorry if it was a little awkward. Sorry I didn't meet anyone else, I only remembered "fancy nike shoes" haha.
Being my first DT show, I was blown away by their performance. Their sound is top notch and their performance is unparalleled. They truly are masters of their craft. I don't think I could praise them enough. Nightmare was an awesome way to kick off the show, I agree 100% there. The intro to Hollow Years was absolutely mesmerizing and it was my favorite song of the show. HOME was fantastic, I love that song with all my heart. CoT was so much better live then I thought it would be. The crowd really came alive during the end which added so much more to the performance.
Going in, we all had a pretty good idea what the setlist would be, but I think we all hoped for them to throw in 1 or 2 songs to make it seem more special and intimate. That would have put the show over the top for me. When I say that, don't get me wrong. It was worth every penny and mile (425 miles roundtrip) to see the greatest band in the world. But I guess the best way I can explain it would be it felt like the A+ student only got an A on the test. The setlist left a little to be desired depending on your personal favorites from their catalog. I didn't expect Octavarium, Change of Seasons or Glass Prison or something ridiculously epic like that. I did however expect maybe one of Endless Sacrifice, Forsaken, Spirit Carries On, or In The Name of God or something along that lineage. But I'm not at all disappointed, and I'm glad I go to see a headlining show as my first DT show rather then a festival show.
-
I'm glad you guys had fun! :metal
I'm just disappointed because if I go to both the Columbus one-off and the Cleveland IM show, I will see AROP, Home, CM, PA, PMU, and As I Am twice. Assuming they pull out those 6 songs again for all the one-offs.
-
I'm not sure why anyone would expect the IM setlist not to be part of the headlining shows as well. They have no time to prepare a whole lot of extra stuff.
-
That and MP even said they're not pulling out anything new for the shows.
-
Ok, just woke up. Damn what an awesome show. Based on what I knew what songs could have been featured, I have no complaints. MP's mic seemed pretty low throughout the night, it worked well for parts in songs like 'The Mirror' but when he was backing James, you could barely hear him. Everyone seemed at the top of their game and James has never sounded better. I feel so lucky they made this detour, when they could have just enjoyed a day off. Reminded me why this is my favorite band.
A Nightmare To Remember
* I don't think this is as great of an opener as others, but it's a solid song, even if it does overstay its welcome a bit at the end.
Constant Motion
* Eh... the one song I really didn't care to see, but I will admit now it is pretty awesome live. James seemed to sing it a little more like normal James and less like the way he did on SC, which I think helped out a lot.
Hollow Years
* JR and JP's intro to this was so beautiful.
The Mirror
* I forgot how heavy this song was. Pure awesome.
Lie
* See above
A Rite Of Passage
* Nothing special, a good live song.
Home
* Great song to see live.
Panic Attack
* I've always wanted to see this song live and it didn't disappoint.
As I Am
* I love this song as an opener, it opens L@B so well, so a little weird to see it this far down the setlist, but it was a solid rocker.
Pull Me Under/Metropolis
* Wasn't sure how'd I feel about a split of these songs, but it worked really well. The intrumental jam was so awesome. I never felt like they were being "hey, let's show off how proficient we are at our instruments!!!"
The Count Of Tuscany
* Always wondered how this would play live but it was great.
A few random thoughts, I thought Presto Ballet were really good. Their singer was great, and even had a few of JLB's gesticulations, including the way he held the mic and how he raised his left hand during high notes. In between sets they had a few songs of some chick doing acoustic DT songs, I'm curious who it was.
-
His solo on Hollow Years was so amazing!

That and MP even said they're not pulling out anything new for the shows.

That was from only 3 months ago. I just wish the setlist was more like that (considering I am seeing both a DT one-off and a DT/IM show).
-
So am I, and I still have no problems with the set. Would it have been nice to see some other songs? Yeah, but it's not ruining anything for me.

The set is not unexpected. And the more I look at it , it looks like it was a rocking night.

Shadow..cheer up man. Jeesh. Stop the boo hoo hooing! Lots of folks are gonna miss this tour altogether and you're going twice!
Not for nothing, but the Oregon setlist is at worst equal to than the one you listed. They actually look pretty similar.

Home/Panic Attack/As I Am >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Solitary Shell/Sacrificed Sons/Wither
I will admit I seeing DT open for Maiden tonight is a bit of an afterthought after last night's show. But to me, tonight is now all about Maiden. Seeing DT open with a couple songs is just icing on the cake.
-
I know there is no way of knowing, but do you guys think that maybe Mirror/Lie will be switched out for Erotomania/Voices or DoE/One Last Time, or do you think all of the one-off shows will have the same setlist?
Personally I love the Mirror and Lie, so I really hope that those get played at the July 2nd (Columbus) show
Also, I kind of am warming up to the idea of seeing the Iron Maiden setlist songs twice. Seeing a DT song twice is usually a rare thing due to the rotating sets, so instead of thinking of it as a bad thing, I'm thinking of it as a cool experience. But hey if they decide to play 6 different songs instead of those, I won't mind ;)
BUT if they don't, I'll just enjoy what I get. I mean, its fucking Dream Theater :metal :metal :metal
-

Now there you go!!
Seriously Shad, it is true that all setlists are NOT created equal in DT land. But seeing them in two completely different settings, in a club, and then on a big stage, in daylight for half the set, will surely make up for any repetition in song choice.
-
Awesome, awesome show. :tup Great to finally see them again after not coming to Portland since '04. I figured they'd open with Nightmare but it was a great way to kick off the show. A highlight was Hollow Years, JP's solo was amazing as usual. Also good to hear The Mirror followed by Lie. Home kicked ass. I liked the Pull Me Under/Metropolis medley. Jordan's keytar battle with JP was badass and they looked like they were having a lot of fun with it. The highlight for me was probably TCOT for the encore because that's my favorite song on the latest album. It sounded so good live. All in all, it was everything I expected from them. They have so much great music that it's hard to include everything that everyone wants to hear. I'm grateful that they made the effort to hit Portland because we're not on the Iron Maiden tour. Just to see them again after all this time was worth it. Hopefully the great response they got will mean they'll come back sooner next time. :metal
-
TAC, how many band in our lifetime did we see that NEVER rotated songs and even if it was 8 months later it was the same show. That's why I'm never let down with DT.
-

NEVER. I even saw Metallica 5 times on the Justice tour, and even the so called "improv" bits like playing the begining of La Bamba were staged.
The other thing King, is the whole internet thing. Like, back in the day, if you saw Maiden in Providence, and then they played the same set in Worcester a couple of nights later, it was still cool, because at least you were surprised at what you heard the first time. Now, when we know a band's setlist 6 weeks before they make it to our town, we find it monotonous, when in reality, nothing's changed.
The rotating setlist thing is a brilliant move. It keeps people who aren't even goiung to the shows interested, and also makes grabbing bootlegs that much more interesting. MP really puts his money where his mouth is. A lot of musicians say that they grew up as fans....MP PROVES that he did.
-
Amen TAC. Mike is a fan and treats us with rotating songs, bonus disks, cover songs, meet and greets, DVD's with a boat load of extras...........
-
Man, I really feel like a spoiled child not getting what he wants for the first time in his life :lol
You guys really put it in perspective.
MP really is the band's #1 fan.
-
I think you, Lat, and I are the only people from DTF who live in the Northwest. I'm not sure if he's going or not though.
If I could afford it, I would so fucking be there. But alas, it just can't happen.
-
Maybe Cool Chris oir someone that went can answer... What was the start/end time for DT? Was it treated as a club show (over real late), or a regular concert where they're done no later than 11?
-
Didn't really keep track of time, but I would say Presto Ballet played approx 7:30-8:10, and DT played approx 8:45-10:45.
As awesome as the DT/Maiden show was last night, I might rank this show a little higher. The WR Amphitheater is a great place for a show, but something about seeing DT do two hours in a small club was magical. Everyone was in top form, and they were able to work in a few little improv moments that the Maiden show time restraints won't allow for.
I'll also say again Presto Ballet was a great opener. I hope the other openers are as solid.
-
Thanks Chris! Hopefully the Worcester show gets out at that time as well!

DT set was 2:15:17 from the start of Psycho to goodnight
-
OK guys I need your help! What is the name of the intro song that they play through the speakers before they come on stage? It's so cool and was wondering if anybody has a download for it.
Anyways the Portland show was 100x better than the Maiden show. The crowd was going crazy where as at the Maiden show there were hardly any DT fans there. The crowd for Maiden was bullcrap. I was front row and smashed into the barricade the whole 2 hour setlist along with some crazy guy going berserk next to me. I didn't really get to see much and enjoy much because of this. The stage/light setup was really cool though. I also didn't like how at the white river the stage is raised up. The stage was taller than me and I had a hard time seeing.
Anyways I was literally 2 feet away from Petrucci a lot of times and got TONS of close up pictures.

2:15 is a pretty solid set!
Hopefully the fact that you have that is a good sign that we may get a live set in some format! Do me a favor..make it the Worcester show! :lol

It's the theme song from the film Psycho

I thought the crowd in the pit responded to DT pretty favorably, not sure about the rest of the crowd. On the bus ride in I heard the usual comments ("they play really long boring songs ...").
I was about 15 feet back from the stage, which worked out just fine for me. No pushing and shoving, except for when Bruce through his beanie cap which landed a few feet behind me. Thought a war was going to break out over that.

Normally there would be a good chance of making the east coast swing as well. Usual is 3 to 6 west coast and 3 to 6 east coast . In this case I'm not really interested in Maiden and flying cross country for one show that I know the setlist. 4 or 5 shows, that's completely different.
btw at some point in some form you can be sure the Portland show will turn up. ;)
