No, they played the *THEATER* @ MSG. Big difference.

I see. Don't think I'm gonna go though. As much as I love dream theater and iron maiden, I have too many shows this summer and can't afford anymore. Maybe if it stopped by in CT I'd go, but I'll wait for DT's evening with tour

Good news indeed. Concord show is like 10 minutes from my house.

GuineaPig · « **Reply #76 on:** March 04, 2010, 06:10:56 PM »

I would once again like to speculate on the apparent lack of a Montreal date, but the appearance of an Ottawa date.

It's longer than that for me, but I will likely be there.

I shall be headed to the show in Jersey. Sweet.

OK, now I'm really confused. It no longer lists the Quebec City show, but does list an Ottawa show, which isn't on Maiden's site. Also, Montreal is on Maiden's site, but isn't on DT's, even though it says DT is playing in MTL.

Presumably more dates will be announced.

Yeah, I would like this clarified. DT's site says there is an Ottawa show, Iron Maiden's site says no, and cybersdrummer's concert list page also says no.
Dammit, I want my Bluesfest!

So fucking excited! My 2 favourite bands ever! Will be attending the Toronto show!

CrimsonE · « **Reply #81 on:** March 04, 2010, 06:38:40 PM »

We'll have to see exactly what happens, but I'm guessing this will be somewhat comparable to when Queensryche opened up for Maiden in 2000. QR got a healthy 60 minute set (so did Dio in 03), and I'm expecting DT to get the same. Yes, disappointing compared to the headlining tour that they didn't do for many US cities--in fact, they never did a true headlining US tour for Black Clouds outside of the Progressive Nation run. However, considering that they weren't going to do a 2nd US leg at all, 60 minutes is definitely a treat.

GuineaPig · « **Reply #82 on:** March 04, 2010, 06:40:12 PM »

I'm hearing rumours of a second date for MSG... Dunno if there's any validity to them, but it was from before the shows were announced, and all the other places were correct. EDIT: Although, looking at the schedule, I doubt it. It would mean 5 shows in a row, and Maiden (and DT) are getting old.

Also, CrimsonE, don't forget Halford was on that tour too, as was Motorhead with Dio in 2003. I wouldn't be surprised if DT got more than an hour.

Dr. DTVT · « **Reply #83 on:** March 04, 2010, 06:53:53 PM »

My friend and I are getting MSG tickets no matter what, and I'm foing to try to make the Pittsburgh show as well. I'd be down for a DTF meet-up.

Nick · « **Reply #84 on:** March 04, 2010, 06:55:36 PM »

Yeah, meetup will be cool, just have to figure out which show if I plan on getting pit tickets for MSG or not, probably depends on who goes with me for that.

TheOutlawXanadu · « **Reply #85 on:** March 04, 2010, 07:06:52 PM »

Anyone know what DT's sets might look like?

GuineaPig · « **Reply #86 on:** March 04, 2010, 07:10:17 PM »

I think it would be grand if they opened with "The Glass Prison." That would be a sure way to win over some metal-heads right off the bat.

I wouldn't be surprised if sets looked similar to the Gigantour sets; more of a focus on (somewhat) shorter metal songs.

Like this:

1. The Glass Prison
2. The Mirror
3. Lie
4. A Rite of Passage
5. Constant Motion
6. Take the Time

--------

7. Pull Me Under / Metropolis

With maybe a breather or two swapped in usually.

tnphelps · « **Reply #87 on:** March 04, 2010, 07:13:50 PM »

WOW!. Two of my top 3 bands of all time playing together on tour. Yet the closest they come to Tampa or anywhere in Florida is Washington DC. You call that a tour? More like a vacation to me. Why so many dates in Canada? This depresses me.

MykeHavoc · « **Reply #88 on:** March 04, 2010, 07:14:14 PM »

Of course there's no New England dates

How fast should we expect MSG tickets to sell out?

In general, that's a pretty good set. But as a fan, even though I like AROP and I LOVE CM, it would be kind of a bummer to have both in the same set since they are so similar sonically and structurally.

I would so love to see TGP live, it's my all time favorite song.

Yeah, I don't think the two will actually be put together. I just created the basic set as one that would feature the songs most played on a tour, rather than how an actual set will flow. I'm pretty sure most of those will get time on this tour, but I agree that AROP and CM shouldn't (and won't) be played at the same show. Hell, as far as I know, both of them were played fairly often so far this tour, but never together (I think).

bosk1 · « **Reply #93 on:** March 04, 2010, 07:33:43 PM »

I'm still holding out hope for my TGP/TSF mini-12-step medley, which I think would be great for this tour. That'd be a pretty metal onslaught.

GuineaPig · « **Reply #94 on:** March 04, 2010, 07:34:55 PM »

Yeah, I could see that happening.

I'd also bet on "Home" coming out again.

bosk1 · « **Reply #95 on:** March 04, 2010, 07:35:56 PM »

Yeah, good call. I don't think it's gotten heavy rotation since the SDOIT tour as I recall.

Realized that this tour starts 18 years to within one day from when Iron Maiden chose a then-relatively unknown band, with a brand-new singer and on the verge of releasing a gold record, to open for them in NYC

News: DreamTheaterForums is a place for people who just don't have the time for music anymore.
