I've never been to a DT concert in the US before, are their concerts usually standing (yay) or sitting (why the fuck would they even do that)?

Nope, all seated. It's a theater after all.
It's a bummer they always play there, I hate the venue's sound.

So I was going to get ticket from my brother and I and I just found out there might be a Managers meeting that I may have to fly out to on the day of this show.  I'll find out next week.  Man I hope not.

Well I just found out yesterday that i will be going to this show , I got home from work and the wife was standing there with a birthday card smiling from ear to ear , so i open the card and its says happy birthday go look at your computer , she had the ticket seats and info up on the screen !!
Very cool gift and she set it up so my buddy that i just got into dream theater is going with me since my wife doesn't do my kind of music .
I know cool story bro but I think it is the best gift i ever got I just turned 46 and my wife is a few years older than me so i am very impressed with her doing this on her own !!

Oh another question how are the upper balcony seats as far as seeing the band?
I have seen DT and many other shows at the Orpheum but never sat in the upper  Balcony section
My seats are on the right center In the front of that section but its all the way in the back 

Maybe we can meet up with Tac and some of the others here too!!

Wow. I'm an idiot. I completely missed, despite having bought a ticket, that this show is in Boston not Worcester. So yeah, obviously I don't need a ride to the freakin' Orpheum. Clearly I need to pay closer attention.

Got my tickets yesterday! :metal: First DT show after having missed them — :facepalm: — in Pittsburgh opening for maiden Maiden (got a little lost after having driven 12 hours from MA; long story).

The best I could find in my price range was a seat in Orchestra Row F, which is around the front of the section behind the double-letter area. I read that the place isn't very "tiered" so I hope I'll be able to get a clear view.

Now to celebrate with more ADToE :D

bumping this for bump's sake!!

1 week until my first DT concert - can't wait.   :metal   please be gentle with me LOL.  i've got the M&G package and everything.

looks like we're getting the WfS/FFH/CiaW/BAI/PMU (setlist b) set list if the pattern holds true.  its all good with me.

looking for some opinions on how the sound/acoustics are at this venue.  hope the sound guys have it together for this show. i've been reading that james is hard to hear during some portions of the show.  his singing is as strong as ever on this cd.

i'm making the trip from st albans, vermont to attend.  any other vermonters going to this show?

Congrats on your first show !!
The orphium is an old theater and the sound tends to bounce around in there depending on were your sitting. its not a huge theater so not that bad .

This will be my 3rd time seeing them there and 7th total , very excited just wish i was down near the stage But my tickets were a Bday gift from the wife so thats cool as it is.

Driving from CT for my first DT concert. For you Boston natives, is it easier to drive to the Orpheum, or take the T in from Riverside?

I'd drive in. It's a holiday and there shouldn't be hardly any traffic.

i've read that there is an early afternoon hockey game going on, and the blue man group is in town for a matinee show.  not from the area, so i don't know how that will affect traffic if at all.

The orphium is an old theater and the sound tends to bounce around in there depending on were your sitting. its not a huge theater so not that bad .


i bought the M&G package, so i should be somewhere in the first 5 rows.    :yarr

can't wait -- i'm effin' PUMPED!  MM's homecoming, and i read on the toronto thread that they changed the set list a little bit for that show yesterday (10/6)...creating a "setlist c".  wonder if we'll be getting that one, or another tweak to the list.

I'm driving in from CT too--as it's a holiday, driving all the way in shouldn't be a problem.  I booked a hotel room so my kids and I won't have to drive all the way back in the middle of the night.  I wouldn't be doing it that way, but my ludicrously low bid on Priceline actually found a taker!  I'm getting the room for a third of its usual price, so it's much more reasonable than the usual Boston rates. 
Toronto gives me hope--wouldn't Boston be a great place to debut Lost Not Forgotten??? (If you're listening, DT, wouldn't that be a great idea?)
Also, remember this is a homecoming gig for Mangini, so maybe we'll get something extra special!

So when I drive in, where is the best place to park near the theater? If you can't tell, I'm a Boston noob.

I've had good luck with an outfit called Central Parking, which has a bunch of locations in Boston--there's one on Beacon Street about .1 of a mile from the Orpheum.  If you go to the website (just google Central Parking Boston), there's even a coupon.  They're cheaper than a lot of other parking in Boston.

Find the Orpheum and then park as soon as you can. There's a parking garage at Downtown Crossing and also underneath the Commons.

The Bruins game and Blue Man Group should have no effect on the traffic.

I guessed "Chuck Testa" on JRs comment at Facebook which was promptly liked by 8 people, so I can only assume it's him.

Just heard DT soundchecking the instrumental section of Breaking all Illusions. This may be the most excited I've ever been for a concert.
