AWESOME! This will be show #30 for me. I did a search two days ago looking for clues for an Anaheim show and came up empty, so glad you found this Cyber!!
The Grove is an unusual venue. Last time DT was there, the audience was required to buy dinner before the show. Met some great folks at my table. Would be a great DTF meet-up if its the same format.
Also, the All Access Pass offered for this show sounds interesting. Anyone have details?

:lol
That's bizarre.

Ya, it's technically a dinner theater. Trying to eat, then watch a show on picnic benches was interesting at best. Got my tix for both SD and this show already.

The SD show, I'm really worried about. I don't get off work until 4, If traffic blows I might not make it in time. Normally a 2 hour drive from LA, fingers crossed already.
-
I'll be seeing them once again! I saw them the 25th of September at the Nokia Theater.
Can't wait for December 2! :metal
-
Why do they have to play in my area everytime I have to work??? ;-(
-
Going
-
Bought my tickets in presale today, Tier 1 GA. Didn't go with the dinner plate this time round.
So does everyone think they'll continue with the same C/D setlists for the December shows, or will DT use the Novemeber break to work on and throw in a different song or two? Thoughts?
-
i wil be buying my tickets next friday on payday.
Is is supposed to be Trivium opening?
Periphery?
-
It's curious that tickets go on sale today and the band still has not officially added this show to its website.
-
It doesn't look like the show is selling very quickly. I pulled up front row reserved table 4 hours after onsale time.
-
This'll be my first Dream Theater concert (I've been broke literally every other time they came through town) and my third concert at the Grove (other two were Reel Big Fish with Streetlight Manifesto). At those concerts they didn't even put the seats in since it was ska.
-
Did anyone else notice the start time?...9:00pm... rather odd...and still no word on whos opening...Maybe an intimate acoustic show?.. ala Rotterdamn 1998...:)

Nah, not with a new guy who's busting at the seams to play out and just learned a ton of new songs for this tour. Would be nice though.
EDIT: BTW, I saw their accoustic show in the Home For Holidays in '98 - one of my best DT shows.

Whoo! I'll see you there, maybe. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depends on who you ask), it's GA standing. My gf and I haven't been to a GA standing show so we're unfamiliar with the dynamics...is it usually best to arrive there super early or not? We don't want to be disappointed by being in the back and being blocked by 6'4 males.
In response to the setlist, I sure hope they throw in a couple of different songs. I'm personally hoping for "A Change of Seasons." ;D
-
As i recall the GA section is right against the stage and its a small area, so I think anytime you arrive you'll have a great view of the show. i was at a Teir 2 table and it felt pretty close.

Oh okay, that sounds excellent. Can't wait. What time are you planning on getting there, if you don't mind my asking?
-
Sooo pumped! I live in Riverside. I bought tickets for the San Diego show for myself and my 11yr old son. Then last week, The Grove get scheduled. What to do??? Get tickets for that show too!!!! back-to-back nights! Can't wait. Took my son to the Nokia show for his 1st concert ever. He loved it. I'm gunna suprise him with these 2 shows....

Nice! You didn't happen to be near the orchestra section in the Nokia show, did you? Because I went and there was a man with whom I presumed to be his son, who looked as energetic as a koala during sleeping time. Then again, he may have been tired. I'm not saying it was you but just wondering lol
I just want it to be the 2nd od December already!
-
Let's plan a meet up

No, not us. We were stage right about 25 rows up. About 2/3 throught the show, my son did sit down for a minute and put his head on the back of the chair in front of him and i thought, uh-oh he's getting tired. But then, Caught In A Web started and he finished the night Fist Pumping his ass off! lol
-
Edit: Eh, I decided to go. I had such a blast at the Nokia show, I couldn't resist going to this one. I'm a little bummed that no seats on JP's side were available, but I'm sure I'll still love the show. Even if they play the same setlist. haha. Also SO excited that Andy McKee is opening. I saw him play at the NAMM show two years ago - phenomenal. He even stood there and chatted with me for 20 minutes afterward. Totally cool guy. Super nice, just like the guys in DT seem. I can't wait. :hefdaddy :metal
-
non-dinner tables are offered, but the comradarie is worth the $20. Its not like some frivolous fee, you're actually getting a dinner with some of the most passionate, like-minded people you'll find in so cal. Treat yourself, you'll come away with an amazing and unique concert experience.
-
I just purchased tickets for this show but am still a bit confused about the venue. When I purchased the ticket, ticketmaster stated that my seat did not require that I purchase food. Will I still be sitting at a table? Or will more traditional seats be laid out? I went to the LA Nokia Theater show and just could not resist going again. Although this time I will be going at it alone....
Still can't F*&*king wait!

Initially, the "dinner tables" were the tables in the center. If you didn't buy dinner you get the outer tables.

Hi ! I bought a ticket for the concert in Anaheim a little bit too quickly, thinking that a lot of people from my university (UCI) would go but it turns out that no one is going and since I am just an exchange student from Europe, I don't have a car. Therefore, I am just wondering if any of you would be from the UCI area (Irvine / Costa Mesa / Newport Beach) and willing to offer me a ride (I would pay for the gas of course!), especially for the way back. Because I can manage to take the bus to go to the concert, but the first one after the concert is at 4:30 AM. :omg:
I would really appreciate it. ;)
-
I am just down the road and would be glad to take you...keep in touch.

Thank you so much! I sent you an e-mail with my info.

I'm assuming they're gonna stick to the setlists they've been playing throughout the first part of the 'Tour of Events?
(fingers crossed for setlist B again)
-
Be nice if they mixed it up a little, but i absolutely have to catch Beneath the Surface in either this show or San Diego. Been waitiing to cross it off my list and it didnt happen my last two shows.
-
Looks like we are getting Caught in a Web / Wait For Sleep / Far from Heaven.
Sadness.
Beneath the Surface.... has to be one of my favs now...
-
Yeahh, I would have liked to see it too. I also wish they'd have kept The Great Debate, cause it's definitely one of my favorites. But I guess it'll be cool to see Outcry this time 'round. It'll be different than last time.
-
I would have a hard time if I had to choose between set lists C and D. I would go with D, I guess - I absolutely adore Beneath the surface, but Far from heaven comes with Wait for sleep and Caught in a web. Still, I guess they will change the set when they hit Europe next year.
-
Working my way to the grove
-
Great show. Had some serious sound issues during the second half though. They kept turning down the keyboards, and there was this high pitched ringing going on. The drums were a bit loud during the first half as well, but it was a pretty small venue so that could have been a factor. Great show. DT, always a class act. James was on fire!
-
No setlist posting from last night yet? Just curious if they switched it up at all from San Diego.
-
Pretty much the D setlist. Great sound, except a tweeter blew on the SR main stack at the beginning of WFS. I initally thought that it was something with Jordan's keyboards. Nigal did his best to cover it. Much beter crowd than San Diego. Outcry is really growing on me.
-
Saw it and loved it.
Also, Charlie popped up.
-
Great show. Great energy. The only gripe I have = sound issues and the waiting staff. Was cool to chill with Charlie though. And of course mastercupzilla ^ as well :D
-
Great concert!
I was in the GA standing section but I had this tall brute right in front of me which almost blocked all of Mangini (sort of).
Had a bit of an argument with him but once DT came on stage, it was all good.
Somewhat disappointed with the setlist but still quite solid.
-
I felt the San Diego crowd was more receptive and enchanted by Andy McKee, some hecklers in Anaheim. James introduced the band as "Dinner Theater" and mistakenly said that the last time they played here was in 1993. Of course I could hear the DTFers in the crowd correcting him with a yell of 2006!
The blown tweeter was a terrible nuisance, and very noticable in the outer orchestra area.
I was trapped in a sea of humanity in what appeared to be a very OVERSOLD GA section. Started out in the middle GA section, but was dwarfed by tall dudes and some guy trying to appease his upset girlfriend who was uncomfortable being packed in tight with the guys. I eventually found a nice roomier spot in stage left near JP.
Tons of unchecked cell phone vids (which were well monitored in San Diego), so those might be popping up soon.
Highlight of show #30 was meeting Charlie Dominici in the lobby before the show. I asked him what his favorite track was on WDADU and he speedily replied The Killing Hand, although he clarified it was his least favorite to sing. He then proceeded to sing the 1st verse. We talked about the origin behind Light Fuse and Get Away, when he invited DT to his bombastic fireworks 4th of July party back in the 80's. Impressivly enough, Charlie then spontaneously sang the chorus and tricky second verse verbatim. A little private show for me and 2 other gracious fans (and a ton of DT fans walking by him none the wiser - HA!!). Lastly, we discussed his 04 performance at Pantages, and he joked that he had no idea what to expect when he took the stage, suspecting that he might get pummeled by tomatoes! A young fan suggested that if DT played a classic tune tonight, he should rush the stage and steal the mic. Charlie animatedly joked about the idea. A good sport and a gentleman.
Sound issues aside, it was a memorable evening.

And then, Dream Theater played..... Ytse Jam :p

Ah so that was you, raisetheknife! Awesome

Only heckle I could hear was the "SLAYER!" request, which Andy and the rest of the audience seemed to agree was pretty funny.

Don't forget the guy who suggested he get a guitar tech to tune his guitar.

I was that young fan. ^^

I was the dude with the leather jacket who was with Shake and the larger Guy with the long hair and beard

Can I just say that Helicopter James was one of my favorite things I've ever seen in a concert?

Mine too! He only did that on a few nights of the tour right? (Just finding this thread ;))
Next time they play out here, I gotta meet you all now that I'm part of DTF! Oh and it would be great to run into CD and ask him to sing something!! I walked by him at the July 2012 show but I didn't stop. Totally should have, would have been the first DT member I've met.
Also, I constantly tease my friend that I saw These Walls, Endless Sacrifice, Outcry, Caught in a Web, and Fatal Tragedy all in the same show and he didn't :lol he wants to see those songs so badly. I'm SO happy I got to see them, this set was amazing.
-
Nice bump
oh that was still a great night. What venue was CD hanging out in in 2012?
-
Same one. I noticed him talking to a couple fans after the show. I told my friend "whoa dude I think that's Charlie Dominici!!" and we both just kinda looked at him for a sec because a member of Dream Theater was standing within 10 feet of us but didn't actually talk to him haha
of course come to think of it, all five current members were equally as close or even closer during the show.. :lol
-
From the second time they came around? Shit I didn't see him!
-
They only played at the Grove once in July 2012! haha :)
-
I mean once in 2011 and once in 2012
-
I went to both shows. Herman Li from Dragonforce was at the one in July. He was walking next to me toward the lobby area, and I looked at him and said "Looks like it's time for you to quit the guitar now, huh?" and he laughed and nodded. xD
