Awful lot of time (and possible venues) between these two dates:

Oct. 12 - New York, NY - Beacon Theatre (With Trivium)
Oct. 22 - Cleawater, FL - Ruth Eckerd Hall

Hoping the Carolinas aren't skipped over, but wouldn't be surprised in the least.  When Asheville happened, I had an out of body experience.

I'm guessing somewhere between New York and Florida they will hit DC/Baltimore

This tour might be hard for me to attend with those dates though :(

Fuck! Why are all the dates near me week nights? The closest venue to me is NYC and that's a four or five hour drive when I can't leave work till 4pm...they better stop by DC/BALT or I wont be seeing them this tour :/

Can't be any smaller than the Fenix Underground, which is where I saw them for the FII tour in Seattle. I prefer the smaller venues.

I'm feeling your pain buddy. I was shocked to see no Philly date, especially since they have played Philly on pretty much every tour over the past 10 years and I was hoping they would play the Tower just as they did on the BC&SL tour. I'm just crossing my fingers that not all the dates have been revealed yet. Otherwise I'm gonna be pretty upset.

I'm holding out for a Philly date as well. However, I really wish that they'd play the Keswick Theater instead of the Tower. Saw them for the first time on the PN '09 tour there, and I wasn't impressed with the venue at all. The Keswick has a much more intimate atmosphere, and Glenside is just a nicer area than Upper Darby overall.

The Keswick is for Jazz concerts and fail comedy shows (I've seen some acts there which I liked). It's not really the right kind of setting for a metal show, which is what DT is. I love going to the Tower to see them and I hope they come back again.

Hmmmm, that's interesting considering that Queensryche plays there all the time (they're actually gonna be there on the 11th of this month). I've also seen G3 with Malmsteen there back in '03, as well as Joe Satriani in '04. Wasn't really all that impressed with the Tower when I saw DT there in '09. I think that the Keswick has better acoustics, as well as an all around better atmosphere. I'm still gonna go see them this year no matter what venue they play, I'm just stating my preference.

Anaheim would be great on a Monday night, but I'd still drive to San Diego for a second showing.  Has DT ever opened a leg in San Francisco before?  Sounds like it could be a blast for those guys.

Also, if you like to see DT up close and sweaty on stage, don't buy the VIP at the Warfield, they stick you in the seated area upstairs.  Get the GA ticket and arrive early like any good DTFer would do.

Wow, just noticed that I Love All Access is handling the VIP -  went to their Megadeth VIP event and was enormously impressed with the level customer service and package amenities (including an open bar and catering!!)

Anyone have any insight when L.A. tix go on sale?

Press release says that "a brand new tour production unlike any other that we've done before."

Any speculation?

I interpret it to mean "since we're not having rotating setlists, we're doubling our efforts to kick ass in other ways."  Wonder what they're planning, and I hope it makes me want to see multiple shows on this leg.

Hopefully. Tix to the public go for sale Friday at 12pm. I'm hoping a TO meet-and-greet is announced before then. If not, I'm gonna have to get my ticket. I better not get screwed and have the meet-and-greet (if it happens) announced after I buy my ticket.

I hope they return to NC also. If they do, I hope they play more in the center of the state. Asheville is about 350 miles from me. Charlotte or Raleigh would be much better. That gap between Oct 12 and Oct 22 is where I'm expecting to see them. Hopefully in NC. If not, it will be Baltimore, Virginia or Georgia.

That gap between Oct 12 and Oct 22 is where I'm expecting to see them. Hopefully in NC. If not, it will be Baltimore, Virginia or Georgia.

Raleigh would be perfect for me. I live in Durham and I would definitely be willing to make the drive to Asheville/Charlotte or even VA/SC, but Raleigh would be wonderful. I know that on JLB's solo tour he had Raleigh scheduled as one of his first stops. Unfortunately that tour never happened, I'm sure they can make it up to me somehow...  ;D

As I've never been to a Dream Theater concert before... I am dying to go as soon as possible. I was hoping that I would get a chance this fall, but none of the current concerts are close enough for me. I know they plan on releasing more dates. What is the likelihood that they will have another North American leg next summer? or sooner? with Prog Nation or whatever? I'm starting to get anxious.  :-\

Dear Dream Theater,

Rest of the dates please.  Unless there aren't any in NC or SC or Atlanta, in which case James LaBrie you broke your promise to come back and I will hate you forever.

(loljk but srsly come back to Asheville)

Hey, How about at DPAC? That is a great venue for a show. That is the Durham Performing Arts Center for those who do not live in NC. Has DT ever played in SC? Up until 2 years ago, they had never played in NC. I made the trip to Asheville to see them, but really hope I don't have to drive that far again. There is a very nice House of Blues in North Myrtle Beach. Would be awesome if they made a stop there as that is only 1 hours drive from my home. Don't think that will happen as I don't see them coming east of I-95 in NC.

I go to school in Greenville, SC, so Asheville is a manageable drive for me.  I'm from Raleigh, and driving 4 hours for a concert in October is a bit much.  Charlotte I could probably do though.  But I did make the trip from Raleigh to Asheville for PN09 and it was so so worth it. :metal

Hmmm, one thing that I will say about all of this is that if Portnoy was still in the band, I'd be able to go ask on his forum about a Philly date, and he'd most likely respond with an answer. I sent a tweet to both James and John asking about the big gap that's in the tour calendar and got nothing. I think that they could be a little more professional with announcing all of these dates. A lot of them aren't even being announced on the official DT website, and it seems like you really have to scour the internetz to find them as they're being leaked. Just saying...

Join the club.  I actually passed on seeing them in Cali specifically because of that promise.  As I've said in the past, for every example of his contact with the fans being a good thing,  there's one where it bites me in the ass. 

Personally,  every date on this tour is a mess for me.  I was really wanting to travel and see a couple of these, but I'll probably have to do that with a different band over the winter.

Also,  all of the announcements and onsale dates being scattered really sucks ass.  I bought Houston tickets this morning,  largely because I have no idea on Earth whether or not there'll be a Dallas date.  They'll probably announce that one today.

Would be nice if they would announce all the dates at once. Would make it easy for the people that are trying to string together multiple shows. I would like to see a couple of shows on this tour, so it would help with planning travel to the cities I want and in booking hotel rooms. Not to mention letting my boss know when I want off for vacation time.  I was just at the Trans Siberian Orchestra forum and they have their winter tour schedule lined up. They make it easy for the fans that want to see more than one show.

:facepalm:

The dates that have been announced are the only ones confirmed. It's not up to Dream Theater, it's up to the label, the promoters and the management. I can assure you more dates will come in that big gap.

Also, it's not like a lot of people check dt.net. I have seen that facebook has become much more populated and it has become a quick source of information.

I don't know if you know, but dt.net is run by Itchy, a webmaster that's really not one of the best webmasters out there. If the dates aren't on that site, is because of Itchy and not because of anybody else.

Yes, I'm well aware of that. All I'm saying is this: If this were 2 years ago, and there was a big gap like this in the touring schedule, there's no doubt in my mind that Portnoy would be posting on his forum saying, "Hey guys, these aren't confirmed yet, but we're trying to get *insert various cities/venues here* worked out, so hang tight!" I'm not very impressed with the "fan interaction" right now when it comes to this.

Yep, it's the truth. I was there for the PN '09 tour (BC&SL), and they definitely didn't pack it. Why play a venue as big as the Tower when you're struggling to fill it each time? I'm not a big fan of the Tower anyway, nor the neighborhood of Upper Darby for that matter. I'd much rather see them play in a more intimate venue in an artsy community.

The last time they packed the Tower was in '02 on the 6DOIT tour. It has been steadily decreasing on each stop there since. Don't know why, but that's just the way it's been. :tdwn

It is strange, because I remember the 6DOIT tour, and one of the security guys was saying that if the crowd gets much bigger they were going to have to find somewhere bigger to play.
So is the neighborhood much better wherever Merriam is? Also, can anyone recommend a good place to eat close to there?

I hope they return to NC also. If they do, I hope they play more in the center of the state. Asheville is about 350 miles from me. Charlotte or Raleigh would be much better. That gap between Oct 12 and Oct 22 is where I'm expecting to see them. Hopefully in NC. If not, it will be Baltimore, Virginia or Georgia.

Raleigh would be perfect for me. I live in Durham and I would definitely be willing to make the drive to Asheville/Charlotte or even VA/SC, but Raleigh would be wonderful. I know that on JLB's solo tour he had Raleigh scheduled as one of his first stops. Unfortunately that tour never happened, I'm sure they can make it up to me somehow...  ;D

Hey, How about at DPAC? That is a great venue for a show. That is the Durham Performing Arts Center for those who do not live in NC. Has DT ever played in SC? Up until 2 years ago, they had never played in NC. I made the trip to Asheville to see them, but really hope I don't have to drive that far again. There is a very nice House of Blues in North Myrtle Beach. Would be awesome if they made a stop there as that is only 1 hours drive from my home. Don't think that will happen as I don't see them coming east of I-95 in NC.

DPAC would be awesome. I recently went to a concert there (about 1 month ago) and I couldn't stop thinking how awesome it would be to have DT play there. Of course DPAC is also about 5 minutes from my house  :biggrin:

I would almost certainly expect a Denver show,  and that's when they'd hit Arizona.  My guess would be a few nights off after three straight nights in Tejas, followed by the SW stretch. 

One thing that might screw that theory up is that they seem to avoiding GA venues.  The place they've booked here is 3x bigger than what they can sell, but fully seated,  and they passed over a couple of appropriately sized GA venues that they would have packed.  Seems like where they usually played in Den was a club.

This looks more likely every day unless they decide to add a few days onto the tour following the Texas, which is a better chance than what other areas have since you don't have to worry the difference between two dates.

Ugh!  Still really hoping for a Phoenix date between Utah and Illinois...looks like the whole southwest is missing so far.   :angry:

If they skip Phoenix/Arizona in general I will not be a happy fan. It will be the third straight tour that they have skipped the state.
This looks more likely every day unless they decide to add a few days onto the tour following the Texas, which is a better chance than what other areas have since you don't have to worry the difference between two dates.

Yeah I was looking at it again, and thats the only way they hit AZ or Colorado for that matter. I would consider going to Denver since I have extensive family there.

Well, I know They won,t be coming to NM. As all bands just pass on through. I"d laugh hard if we got a date and CO. And AZ didn't.

Indeed it is. I still cling to faint hope it will happen. Why wouldn't they play a successful regular stop on there tour?

I'm still hoping too man. If memory serves me right, they have announced the Wallingford day way later than the initial dates the last two tours. It just seems like there has to be with a four day break in the schedule when they are in this part of the country.

I had such a vivid dream last night that I was looking at a date announced for CT. I woke up this morning believing it. I checked the internets and got really sad.

Ugh  :censored There are NY shows on the 12th and 15th. Why can't there be a CT date in bewteen!?  :'(

Post by: cyberdrummer on September 08, 2011, 10:39:43 AM
Unfortunately it's almost certain they won't add an extra date in that gap because it would mean the band playing 4 dates in a row, which is almost unheard of.

Assuming they do a second NA leg (most likely after the January February European dates), I hope they come to the Carolinas/VA as it seems impossible that they will stop there for this leg.

I here ya Chino. This really bums me out. Wallingford is such an easy trip for me and I love the venue. Going to NYC becomes a very pricey evening. I'll probably drop about 200 bucks between the ticket, train, food, and drink. I'm not sure I want to do that.

 I know man. I'm really bummed. I have seen them there every tour since 2004, and it's such an awesome venue. Its a real shame. I have several friends seeing them in either NY or Boston, but I can't swing that during school.

I'm caving and going to The Beacon. It pisses me off I can't see them at Oakdale! I don't get it.

I guess I'm lucky to have the means to do so, but i'm making the trip to Chicago from Columbus, OH, a 7 hour drive to see them. They need to add Ohio to their 2nd leg schedule, because I'm not making this trip a second time. $200 for one show is hurting.

I wonder when a 2nd leg will happen. With them taking a 1-2 months off between legs, I don't see it happening until the summer

My guess would be starting June as well.

I think a summer tour would be more convenient for legions of fans and it would also be prime time for them to hit Australia, Indonesia, the Phillippines, etc. I want them to spread their music as far as they can and then come back with the 12th album and be absolute kings, as they already are in many eyes. :metal
