It pains me to read how people are getting amazing seats days before the show, since I bought the morning of the sale and only got Row Y.   I'm happy for you guys.  But sad for me.   I thought the way to get closest seats was to buy right away.  I'll never do that again! lol

I'm gonna be in NYC mad early tomorrow.  I'll check this thread to see where you guys are at.  Maybe I can get me some tick time.
Its sucks that they all too often screw the folks who buy the morning of a sale figuring they know they got ya. Then they persuade people on the fence to go down the line by having good tickets left.

By the way, I don't know the names of any bars so I'll probably just wander in to one close to the venue.

I was going to nominate an Irish bar called St. James Gate that I've heard good things about. It's at 81st and Amsterdam, so just .4 miles from the Beacon. Is this cool with people, or given the possible shitty weather do we want to go somewhere right near the venue?

Alright, so barring any last minute interference, JustJen and I should hopefully be a St. James Gate for 4:30-5 to hang out before the show. Anyone who wants to meet up beforehand can PM me so we can exchange #s

I'm heading into work for a meeting until like 2:30 - 3, after that I have time to kill before meeting my friend at 6. I may meet up if I get into the city quickly.

So, given the "A and B" rotating set lists of this tour, tonight's set list should be:

Bridges in the Sky
These Walls
Build Me Up, Break Me Down
Endless Sacrifice
Drum Solo
The Ytse Jam
Acoustic
The Silent Man
Beneath the Surface
Outcry
On the Backs of Angels
Forsaken
Through My Words
Fatal Tragedy
Breaking All Illusions
Encore:
Under a Glass Moon

My one complaint is I'd MUCH rather hear Caught in a Web than Forsaken, as Awake was the album that originally got me into DT, and CiaW in particular is very near and dear to my heart. Other than that, pretty happy about UaGM over PmU, simply because I think I've see PmU at every single DT show I've ever been to, and UaGM maybe only once or twice.

Anyone think there's any chance we'll get a "C" set list tonight, or are we pretty confident this will be it? Either way, I'm PSYCHED!

Day of the show :metal :biggrin: :)


Let's hope DT surprises us and does something special for the home crowd.

Should be a good time regardless.

OK, slight change of plans since it looks like Jen won't be able to make it. I will be heading in at about 2:30, and hopefully at Port Authority for 3. I'm then proceeding to my usual NYC bar, the Rattle n Hum for a late lunch. It's at 14 East 33rd, right off of 33rd and 5th. Then I'll head up to St. James Gate around 5:30-6. I'm about to PM tick and mebert my cell # and if anyone else wants to contact me I'll be checking DTF on my phone during the trip.

I wonder will MP go to one of these NY/PA shows? In his first interview after he left he said "well at least now I'll be able to go to a DT concert". Probably far too soon though

Wish I could of went!  Unfortunately I have to wake up at 5:30 to head over to the Bronx and leave my house at 6:30 to get there at 7:30 to each Mathematics to adolescents... 

But hot damn, I wish I was seeing DT! 

Would of wanted the PMU encore since I caught Glass Moon at score.  Would be nice if they changed it up a bit for NYC like someone mentioned.  Home crowd!

Enjoy DTF!

Wow that was a really great concert with a really great set.  Great performances all around.  MANGINI!!!! Holy shit that guy is a must see live.  Holy crap.  He was def the perfect fit for the band.  Couldn't be happier with him behind the kit.

Wow, what a whirlwind two days.  Morristown and then NY.  I saw a bunch of forum members, including gabeh in NJ, and ZepDT, axeman and Ludwig in NY.  I got pics with Myung and Mangini outside the band entrance in NY.  So beat.  But I can't get enough of Mangini.  He was the highlight of both shows for me.  Love his smiling face as he plays.

Every time I see Dream Theater, it feels like my first show all over again. I always get emotional and tear up. I also sing every song even though I have a terrible singing voice. 
 
Tonight was KILLER! DT was right on spot. JLB was... wow. His performance tonight was up at top with when I saw them at the Radio City show. MM is a wonderful replacement for MP. I'm no drummer, but his solo was mind blowing. The rest of the guys were great too. LOVED JR rocking out on his keytar! The cube screens were okay. I was in the nosebleeds, but had a good view of the stage, so I didn't watch them. 
 
I absolutely LOVED all the older songs they played- Through my words/Fatal Tragedy, Endless Sacrifice, Ytsejam, The Silent Man , These Walls, Under a Glassmoon! 
 
Only pet peeve as usual is the merch. They had one crappy girly shirt. Is it too much to ask for an awesome female DT shirt? Can I send in my suggestions somewhere? They didn't even have mediums in the shirt, so I couldn't pick it up if I wanted to. UGH! 

And of course my other problem was that ZepplinDT forgot his Majesty ring at home, so I didn't have the opportunity to try to steal it. Me thinks he's catching on!

Sorry I couldn't make it to the bar. My buddy got hung up and didn't get into the city till way late.

What a show last night!

What a hangover today. Time to get ready for work. Yuk!
