That set looks pretty right actually and seems fitting. The only song that seems odd there is ANTR, just too long for IM fans.


But it confirms my lack of desire to see them this tour.

ANTR seems out of place, I'd think they'd open with it.

Can someone official like scotty or sigz tell me if that was the right set list? That seems a bit insane and off.

If that's what they played, they played for 60 minutes. I doubt that they played Home.

Because obviously it isn't the real setlist. Scotty said that they wouldn't play ANTR and any new songs. I'm still not sure of what they really played. Maybe they played a shorter version of Home, because if not, they played for 60 minutes.

So you can bet you'll see ANTR

No you won't.

I can't believe you for any moment in time thought that was the real setlist. No red flags went up... like the fact they would have played longer than Maiden?

I don't doubt it. While I never got confirmation, I believe that Home was the song that was the missing track in my setlist guesses.

Now that the first show is over and nothing else has been posted by anyone who was at the show, I will post what I believe was played tonight (barring Home, which may very well be incorrect and the song order may be incorrect):

As I Am
Panic Attack
A Rite of Passage
Home
Constant Motion
Pull Me Under

Those 6 songs add up to 52.6 minutes in iTunes, and with a little tightening up/editing, I'm sure they could get it down to 50 minutes.
As a basic rule, if you hate it, you must solely blame Portnoy. If it's good, then you must downplay MP's contribution to the band as not being important anyway, or claim he's just lying. It's the DTF way.

I'm following a guy on twitter who is at the show.
I apologize if he is wrong for some reason, but according to him, this is the setlist so far:

1. As I Am
2. A Rite of Passage
3. Home
4. Constant Motion
5. A Nightmare to Remember
6. Pull Me Under

This has to be wrong...

NOTE: He may be wrong as he apparently is only a casual DT fan (ex: he called Constant Motion "In Constant Motion")
They didn't play Nightmare to Remember, they played Panic Attack.

The show was great!  A Rite of Passage live is killer!

I said that because on setlist.com it was written that they played ANTR. But now considering they didn't play it, it's highly possible that they played home.

Very well, I believe.  Between bands, I talked to some IM fans and they seemed truly impressed. 

On the other hand, I was not terribly impressed with Maiden and didn't bother to stay for their whole set.

I got 5 out of 6!! Would've never guessed that Home would've been played. Seems kind of long for such a short set time. Plus I'm not a fan, and I don't feel that it does a great job of highlighting the band, except for the very end. But I know I'm in the minority.
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related

TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

Powerslave got 4 songs last tour, Seventh Son will get time to shine next tour.  I'm glad they went back and revisited the post-2000 catalogue, as I was very afraid many songs would not see the light of day again.

I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure PA and ARoP were reversed.  Home was fantastic, although no talkbox.  PMU was anticlimactic.  Honestly, though, I thought they played with a lot more energy and enthusiasm than they have in the past.  This short set was a better performance than any of the 90 minute ones they've done in Dallas the last few years.

ARoP was second on the setlist.  It was astounding.  The middle section got the IM stoner standing next to me to start yelling "Fuckin' A!" at the top of his lungs.  

I agree that the intensity with which they played was high.  If their intention with this tour is to pick up some metal fans, I think they're going to succeed.
