So, who is going?
Anybody know the presale password?
-
Is the Saturday date confirmed? I'll but tickets as soon as it is.
-
Looks like Saturday the 23rd has been confirmed, checking ticketmaster. Echoing Madman Shepard, does anybody know thw presale password? Ticketmaster shows an Internet Presale and a Chase Customer Presale.
-
The Chase password is 426684 which is the first 6 numbers on any chase card. I tried for a half hour and most of the seats were pretty crappy they tried to give me. Anywhere from 20-30 rows back. Finally I found one that was about 15 rows back but kept trying and eventually I got one that was about 8 rows back on the aisle.
You might have better luck if you wait til they go on sale to the public but I don't know. I think all pit tickets (rows 1-4) are reserved for the VIP passes so 4th row back in the main section is probablty the best I was going to do for 30 minutes after the presale started.
-
The presale password on Livenation is 'drumline' (source: email from livenation).
-
if their is a radio password for the Chicago show I believe its "summer"
-
Wow there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of interest for a show in the 3rd biggest city in the county :-\
-
I'd be going to Chicago again, but DT scheduled three shows in my state of Ohio, so I'm staying in state this leg.
-
I used the Chase presale Thursday - got main floor seats in 3R section - row NN - so probably a bit back but didn't seem that bad.
-
I'm actually able to go to this one. This'll be my first DT concert. Section 3R, row C is the best I could do. I'm excited.
-
I will travel all the way central America to Chicago to be at that concert with my dad, it will be great to get to meet some of you guys!
-
For my first post over here in forever, I'm going... haven't gotten the tickets yet, but they will be nosebleed seats... I may even try to do call tickets to see if I can get a better deal for a better seat.

Wow, that's dedication. Awesome!
-
I love this venue, very good acoustics even though it was not designed for a metal show. I was there in 2009 for Progressive Nation. I like the setlists of what I have seen so far, I can understand the repeat songs since MM is still fairly new to the band. I'm ready for them to blow the roof off this place. Also looking forward to Projekt Crimson since Tony Levin (LTE) is in the band, I hope he has the Chapman Stick!!
-
Anyone else notice that on the DT Tour page for Chicago it says that the opening act is now Tesla???????? Which is funny because they are on tour right now with the Scorpions and will be in Vegas the same night lol
-
The Scorpions will be in Chicago not too long after DT will be... maybe they made a mistake
-
I'd take Tesla over The Crimson Project any day of the week!
-
Not too many Chicagoans here, are there?

I guess not. I'm from Iowa and will be at the show.
I don't know the area too well but there are some good restaurants right around the venue. I'll probably partake in some Ethiopian food beforehand.
-
I'm going there from Iowa as well! I guess it is the closest venue to Iowa that's on a weekend.

Nice! I'm in the Quad-Cities. Where are you? Last time they played in Chicago I saw a bunch of people from Iowa...some as far as Cedar Rapids which is about a 4+ hour drive.
-
I go to school and work in Des Moines, so it's a 6 hour drive for me. Though I normally live in IL, so it's not as bad as it sounds.
-
Wow...I have usually never drive more than 3 hours to see a band but fortunately Chicago, Milwaukee, and Madison are within that three hour range.
I must admit, I did drive 5 hours to see Guns n' Roses in Kansas City but used it as an excuse to check out some museums and eat BBQ. I also drove 12 hours to see GNR in Winnipeg. No good reason for that.
-
Well the concert is the biggest reason, the one that initiated the trip, but I'll be visiting home as well.
-
The Chicago Theatre is in the loop (right across from ABC7)... you may have to go across the river to find any restaurants that may be open after the show, because the Loop is where all the skyscrapers are. Don't worry, because the theater is right by the river.
-
I've never eaten downtown. (Besides the MJ Restaurant like 15 years ago lol) Would you recommend somewhere?
-
I'm going to be at the show... looking forward to it :D
-
I'm on the train now. So excited. :metal
-
Ok, already here, no cameras allowed, now that SUCKS!
-
Yeah. Crimson Project just finished. Looking forward to DT!
-
That was a great concert. Not really sure what the highlights were. It was just amazing over-all.
-
Same setlist?
-
Yeah, same setlist, but it didn't fucking matter! James Labrie was ON!! It was the best I have ever heard him live of the 6 times I've seen the band. Wow, it was beyond amazing!! He hit his high notes and held his long notes. I am not disappointed!
\m/ >_< \m/

Great show.
Met Jordan before the show!!! He was walking in front of the theater! He liked my iPhone case because it looks like a cassette tape. Met up with this guy from India before the show (also met people from brazil!) and again after the show and went and had a beer. International concert!
-
Some of James's best jibba jabba yet. I believe it was after the second song he said the typical "how you doing" and then said Chicago is always a highlight of the tour and that it typically comes down to two cities, Manhattan and Chicago that are the best crowds.
THEN HE SAID...
"Well we're going to play about 2 hours worth of material so I hope you're ready....they locked the doors so you can't leave. Even if we suck up here, you're stuck watching....but we'll give you refunds. Ok, no we won't. I don't have the authority to make that decision. Anyway, I'm going stop talking so we can get on with the show!"
I was 8th row center but his vocals weren't that loud for me so I had trouble hearing him but he was definitely on fire. A lot of improvising some lyrical melodies. Lots of screams. Sounded like he hit every note but again, kinda hard for me to hear.
-
And he also said that after this tour, they're going to start working on the new album. :metal
-

How long before the show was he walking outside the theater?

Hell yea. I bet they can get a lot of writing done before they go to South America in August.
-
I was in the balcony, near the last row. Hey, don't judge, the tickets were cheap. :P
Couldn't have asked for a better first Dream Theater concert.
-
I had pretty good seats (main floor, just right of the stage, back four rows) but ended up sitting back a bit further when DT got on stage (my friend had a few open seats around him so I sat there). Good show and happy that they played Metropolis Pt. 1 :D

Was the balcony pretty full? The floor was.

Show started at 7:30... I'd say it was around 3:30 or 4....

They moved people to the floor. One of my friends had seat in the back row of the balcony, but when he got up there, an usher gave him a new ticket on the new floor since he was alone.

That is so cool! :tup
I haven't seen a concert in years. As much as I love live music, I just can't justify the time or the cash, not with our financial situation sucking the way it does. (Actually Splent, if I'm not mistaken, the last band I saw live was Gende's Giant that night I met you briefly.)
If I'd known that the Crimson Projekt was also going to be playing... well, I probably just would've been more miserable, and still not have gone. As it turns out, I was pretty busy this weekend playing music, so it was a good weekend after all. Sucks that DT comes to Chicago and I can't see them.
-
Don't worry! They'll always come back!

You're one lucky dude!!!
Can anyone tell me... was there a drum solo???
-
Meh, can't say I'm upset that I didn't go.
-
There was no drum solo.
-
There was no drum solo.
There was a pretty kickass five second drum intro to Fortune in Lies though
-
Great show as usual. I was telling my buddy a few days before the concert that maybe we should have skipped this one, since we had seen them 4 times already since SC came out. I was thinking I didn't want to "wear" out the thrill of seeing them to much. Boy, that thought quickly changed after the beginning of BiTS. Awesome concert as always, Mangini's energy is infectious, you can see how much his energy influences the rest of the band. Can't wait for a DVD from this tour.
