EDIT: I suppose in some ways, this is still a bit "safe"...there's only 6 new songs. But it seems both somewhat realistic and still awesome.
How LONG would this show be?
Not as long as most Dream Theater sets, but certainly a bit longer than most QR sets. Maybe 2hrs?
This may be the longest message I've ever posted, but interest in this thread seems to be waning somewhat, so why no go out BIG?
Jammindude, I asked you how long your concert idea, because I purposely made mine to be about two hours, which MIGHT be a little longer than any show Queensryche has ever played. Also, I wanted to ASK you: WHO is your "new" avatar? It KIND of looks like the old one, but the picture is too small to tell exactly who that is.
Anyway, you said your show isn't as long as a DT concert, and I wasn't trying to do that either. However, even though I know that this would NEVER actually happen, you inspired me to come up with what I know is a completely INSANE FANTASY idea: What if they DID play a "DT-length" show, about 160 minutes, counting the encore, but not counting the intermission?
The first idea includes some unpopular songs from some unpopular albums. In fact I think the only album that got COMPLETELY left out was Frequency Unknown. Otherwise, it's just an expanded version of my original idea:
Set One:
1) Guardian
2) Vindication
3) The Needle Lies
4) At the Edge
5) Deliverance
6) Desert Dance
7) Selfish Lives
8) Nightrider
9) Disconnected
10) The Right Side of My Mind
11) I Will Remember
12) Eye9
13) Hundred Mile Stare
14) Another Rainy Night (Without You)
15) Where Dreams Go to Die
16) Arrow of Time
17) Eyes of a Stranger
~~~~Intermission~~~~
Set Two:
1) Burning Man
2) Don't Look Back
3) Rhythm of Hope
4) The Killer
5) The Hands
6) Hellfire
7) Surgical Strike
8) Spore
9) Spool
10) Warning
11) Toxic Remedy
12) Signs Say Go/
13) Re-Arrange You
14) I Am I
15) Redemption
16) The Aftermath/
17) Condition Human
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Encore:
1) Take Hold of the Flame
2) Walk in the Shadows
3) Empire
Now....the LAST idea is closer to a "best-of," leaving out some of the unpopular songs and replacing them with some that should be more familiar...
Set One:
1) Guardian
2) Vindication
3) Disconnected
4) Revolution Calling
5) Selfish Lives
6) Deliverance
7) Another Rainy Night (Without You)
8) Breaking the Silence
9) Eye9
10) Where Dreams Go to Die
11) Sign of the Times
12) I Will Remember
13) The Right Side of My Mind
14) Spore
15) Arrow of Time
16) Eyes of a Stranger
17) Queen of the Reich
~~~~Intermission~~~~
Set Two:
1) Burning Man
2) Toxic Remedy
3) Don't Look Back
4) The Hands
5) Nightrider
6) Warning

8) I Am I
9) Spool
10) Silent Lucidity
11) Hellfire
12) Signs Say Go/
13) Re-Arrange You
14) Redemption
15) The Aftermath/
16) Condition Human
