I dunno, maybe?

Encore is Tuscany.

Nic35 · « **Reply #736 on:** July 25, 2009, 08:41:51 PM »

Well that makes approximatively a 82 min set. That could've played one more song

KevShmev · « **Reply #741 on:** July 25, 2009, 09:04:30 PM »

Ugh, they finally play an instrumental again besides "Erotomania," and they pick their worst one? Ouch.

skydivingninja · « **Reply #742 on:** July 25, 2009, 09:23:18 PM »

That is one weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeird setlist. Cool except for PoW, but very, VERY weird.

Scurvy!Dreams · « **Reply #743 on:** July 25, 2009, 09:24:03 PM »

Worst set list ever.

SystematicThought · « **Reply #744 on:** July 25, 2009, 09:30:21 PM »

Really Prophets of War?
Whatever, I would like to see Overture live

I honestly do not want to turn this thread into an argument over what their worst instrumental is, so I will just say that, while technically brilliant, "The Dance of Eternity" is lacking a memorable melody of any sort, unlike most of their other technical wizardry songs, most of which usually have a memorable melody somewhere, and the last two minutes just go on and on and on and on...

FabiotheIguana · « **Reply #748 on:** July 25, 2009, 11:11:31 PM »

I like the setlist. But they could be playing more songs, damn it.

yeshaberto · « **Reply #749 on:** July 25, 2009, 11:17:52 PM »

just got to the hotel from the show...weird setlist indeed, but

show...it appeared a number of people were there for ZPZ, which was odd because they were animated during their show but not DT

A pretty good video showing JR's new "toy".

(from about a minute in)

DarkLord_Lalinc · « **Reply #752 on:** July 26, 2009, 12:29:13 AM »

What the hell, The Dance of Eternity and Prophets of War?! Holy crap.

cyberdrummer · « **Reply #753 on:** July 26, 2009, 02:48:22 AM »

Great setlist - I much prefer this one purely because it's more of a surprise. Glad to see it all mixed up by MP.

Nihil-Morari · « **Reply #754 on:** July 26, 2009, 03:22:30 AM »

I agree, I personally love TDOE, and PoW must rock live! So that's it for predicting setlists

Oh and, Jordan already changed his key solo for AROP? What's that about? Even before playing it live once, he's already not satisfied with it?

tri.ad · « **Reply #755 on:** July 26, 2009, 03:30:13 AM »

Cool to see POW in the set list, but TDOE? Wow, that's kind of a let-down.

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #756 on:** July 26, 2009, 04:57:35 AM »

That is certainly a strange setlist, but I'm glad that Mike is really mixing it up so much even 2 shows into the tour.

changing_seasons · « **Reply #757 on:** July 26, 2009, 05:17:14 AM »

Wow the stage looks amazing!

GuineaPig · « **Reply #758 on:** July 26, 2009, 06:07:44 AM »

Huh, I might be going to see them in Montreal and now I'm completely puzzled as to what set I might get.

I hope I don't see PoW/SS/TDOE.

ariich · « **Reply #760 on:** July 26, 2009, 08:38:19 AM »

That's a pretty groovy setlist! The first had good songs but was far too predictable! Am hoping they continue to change things up a reasonable amount

Jamesman42 · « **Reply #761 on:** July 26, 2009, 08:49:03 AM »

Gee, thanks for doubting me, guys.

Nah, I kid, that was a crazy setlist, I understand.

Crowd and band was on fire for this show. A few people, but not many, left after ZPZ. Still, this was definitely DT's night. Keys and vocals could have been louder and guitar a bit softer, but, other than that, the best DT show I've seen now. Stage setup was great. JR had a giant flat screen TV behind him, which sometimes showed the same thing that was on the megascreen. Hmm. JLB was only a little shaky vocally in the beginning, but he was ON after that.

Setlist, because I want to:

1. A Nightmare to Remember
2. Prophets of War (total shocker, but (@kevschmev), it DID work great live, but we had an energetic crowd as well)
~Keyboard Solo~ into. . .
3. Sacrificed Sons
4. Misunderstood (which they played last year at this same venue, so this was a shocker, but with the chaotic ending this time)
5. A Rite of Passage
6. The Dance of Eternity (I really don't know why I thought it was Overture 1928, maybe because I'msick

)
7. Take the Time (which missed the second verse, but the ending was a bit extended to "cap off the song," so I wouldn't say extended like "Hollow Years" extended.) Keytar on this for keyboard solo and unison
-------------
Encore: THE COUNT OF TUSCANYYYYYYYY

For Nihil-Morari: If I heard correctly, a couple of the songs for ZPZ were: Inca Roads, forgot the name now, but some song about Turkey farmers?, and a "blues song gone horribly wrong." That's all I can recall since I've never listened to ZPZ, but I will say that I was highly impressed with them!

Ahhhh.

antigoon · « **Reply #762 on:** July 26, 2009, 09:25:44 AM »

Whoa. Blob, what's the deal with JR's TV screen? SHARE YOUR SECRETS.

cyberdrummer · « **Reply #763 on:** July 26, 2009, 09:27:44 AM »

I've posted the ZPZ setlist in the 24th July review thread. Here it is though if you missed it:

What do you want to know? It's a 55" screen (plasma I believe) that is used to display the 3D wizard which plays along with him live.

antigoon · « **Reply #765 on:** July 26, 2009, 09:29:21 AM »

ohh, I guess the 3D wizard thing flew over my head

Does it respond to his keys?

If you watch it, it is in fact 100% live. It responds to MIDI data and will play whatever is played on the Oasys.

Jamesman42 · « **Reply #767 on:** July 26, 2009, 09:33:27 AM »

Ahh, OK, I didn't understand it all, but I that makes sense now (since he used it for the keyboard solo).

Was it on the big screen for the keyboard solo at all, or all just live cam of JR? I don't know how they've got it hooked up right now.
And I'm still waiting to see some live footage of all of TCOT and ANTR. I want to see my own damn videos!

Jamesman42 · « **Reply #769 on:** July 26, 2009, 09:44:04 AM »

Yes, it was on the big screen as well, and they even put on the screen in a few other songs. Awesome work man!

And from what I saw of the videos, awesome work. TCOT, AROP, ANTR, PoW, all awesome.
