Title: If You Could Be Guaranteed 3 Songs To Be Played Next Tour...
Post by: Tick on November 21, 2014, 11:24:01 AM
What would you choose?

Mine would be...

1. The Bigger Picture
2. A Change of Seasons
3. Octavarium

Metropolis - I'm sure it'll be played live again for years to come, but I have yet to see it in person, and I have to.

The Killing Hand - Hasn't it been a while since they played it? I'd love to see it in person.

And honestly, any of the DT12 songs that they haven't played this time around would be great. I love them all.

1)  Lines in the Sand - Love the drumming and guitar solo
2)  Behind the Veil - Would make a great show opening or second set opening
3)  In the Name of God -  Heavy!

Learning to Live, Metropolis and Octavarium. Quite simple really - they're my 3 favourite DT songs and I've not seen any of them live.

The Glass Prison - what a great opener would this be, time to dust it off
Blind Faith - the perfect follow up and the chorus could really benefit from the Mangini-era backing tracks, thus we could finally have a good live version of it
ACOS - anniversary, would make an excellent encore

Yeah, they should do TtT.. It's the only one from I&W that it hasn't been play with MM.. AND, be sure they won't cut a single part.. MP is gone.. So that's impossible...

There's a whole lot of songs I want to hear them play live. My number 1 song to hear them play was TDoE so I got to scratch that off of my list, but there's still plenty more. I guess I would have to go with my 3 favorite DT songs so in order:

1. Octavarium
2. The Count of Tuscany
3. A Change of Seasons

Obviously they wouldn't play all three songs at the same show since that would take up over a third of their set, but those are their three best songs IMO so to hear them live would be amazing (especially 8VM).

I'm not sure if you're serious or joking? Quite interesting choices, not many like ARoP or TOWHTSTS.

But my list could be:
The Glass Prison - as the concert opener
Hell's Kitchen/Lines in the Sand -that combo could be killer in live
Metropolis - just haven't seen it live yet, it's just a must see live song.

Maybe, but in all likelihood that statement probably has the same amount of credibility attached to it either way. Which is probably not much.

Since I assume that the other three DT12 songs will be played next tour, I pick the following:

1. TtT
2. BF
3. ES
(4. TGP)

If not, then BtV would bump ES down by one.

I'm going to use all three votes for ACoS.  It is one of my all time favorites and I've never seen it live.  I'd like to see the other songs off DT12 but, IMO they're almost certain to play those.

I'd also like to see another acoustic set. Maybe include Take Away My Pain and the piano version of Wither. But that's an additional two I'm not guaranteed.

Gonna go predictable and then personal faves.

These 3 songs, god I'd do lots of things to hear all 3 live at one concert considering I've heard another one (Scarred) I wanted to hear live recently. But I'd like to hear A Mind Beside Itself, all 3 songs, as an extra to the first 3 that I really want

I really expected them to play any of these three on the last tour, but they didn't. I'd like to see them drop "Enigma Machine", "Along For The Ride" and "The Looking Glass" in favor of these three because I think they're stronger songs, and 3 of the best on the last album. Hopefully if they do play all three, there's a live album to follow with them on it.

So damn this!

StR, BtV, and TBP are my 3 favorites from DT12, and EM and TLG are my 2 least favorite. AfTR is right in the middle.

If they would have made these replacements on the BTFW DVD, it would have been a 9.5/10 for me, and would be up there with Score and Budokan.

2 songs that I pretty much expect:
- The Glass Motherfucking Prison
- The Bigger Picture

Songs that I'd be very excited to see played again:
- Lines in the Sand
- Home
- The Count of Tuscany

Songs that I'd be quite surprised, but also very happy to see played again:
- A Rite of Passage
- Panic Attack
- Constant Motion
- New Millennium
- Honor Thy Father
- In The Name Of God

Sorry I don't think I followed the rules very well... Anyway, obviously I can't have them all or I'd be practically taking up a setlist, but take your pick. Any of those I'd be stoaked if they show up. (Except DT12 songs which are practically guaranteed?.. Maybe.) :lol

Altho I can think of several other songs I'd rather hear than ItNoG, I gotta agree that I would hope TMoLS doesn't make a return, aside from perhaps the instrumental section - the rest of the song is booooooorrrrrrrrring.
