Will You check the setlist during this tour?
« on: August 04, 2011, 12:20:14 PM »
Since the LA show is only the second on the tour, checking the setlist may not make a difference before the show... But I am still torn... do I keep it a complete surprise? Either way I think DTF will ruin it for me :lol

I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

I won't see them, considering it's only a North American tour, and I live in Sweden... however, if they were coming here and I was about to see them, I don't think it would matter to me if I knew about the setlist or not.

I think I'll avoid it. I believe my show will be the 3rd one so shouldn't be hard. Seeing them on their first one-off headlining show on their tour w/ Maiden last year was great not fully knowing what was coming.

As MM said it the interview they are not gonna change the setlist that much when they are on tour.
Just because once they have decided what the setlist is, they want to bring to every venue they go (maybe a change in the encore but not the regular setlist).

And all of DT wher on the same page is said.....so there's no use in checking the setlist every day i guess.
somehow i do have the feeling since today is the last day of there current tour , they will do something special they haven't done yet....

Seeing them in LA, but will not have access to the web that weekend, so I guess it will be a surprise.

Back when they swivelled it around all the time, I was all over the setlists like a rash, I want that rush when they start to play that song I love and never thought I'd get to see. I've never minded knowing that I might get something - although I actually caught Misunderstood the first time they ever played it on the BCSL tour, and that was even better - but knowing I will hear a song? Not for me.

Realistically, over the past few tours, the setlists have not been radically different from city to city.

Going to the first show in the North American tour soo I wouldn't be able to check the setlist, not that I would anyways. This is my first DT concert so I want a surprise. I wonder how many new songs they'll play.

I'll be at the Vancouver show, so hopefully I can stay away from the setlists for 4 days.

I'll do my best!

I don't think I am going to go unless it is a "can't miss" setlist

So I'll probably check

But seeing as ACoS probably won't be played I doubt it

Yeah, because I know I won't be able to avoid them.

But, what this also means is that I know what studio tracks to avoid listening to so they're fresh for the show.

That's funny.....  I am actually going to go to the concert with my roommate, and I am going to find out the setlist and burn a copy of it onto a cd to listen to on the way there.

One of the things that I thought made DT interesting live, was the fact that they totally changed up the set lists night to night... The last two tours that has not been the case. 

I saw them for the Score DVD and would go October the 12th in NYC if I didn't have to get up at 530AM to teach... 

But I know they criticized Rush for not changing their setlists up ever (Rightfully so)!

Missed the "being excited" and "what are we going to hear tonight!"  For any artist...

Well, since we're the first date of the tour, it won't do me any good.  :lol  But, yeah, I guess I will be checking to see which few songs they alternate in and out.

I may post the set from the show as it plays, or I can text someone if they want me to.

I never look at a setlist ahead of time unless I see it by accident. I won't be seeing them on this tour though so I'll watch for the setlists here.
