2009/10 WORLD TOUR DISCUSSION THREAD

[faemir]

manchester had a far better setlist than wembley for me. still a killer show tho

percussive nation and prophets of war was better than SS and ITNOG for me to be honest. TSCO... no, but hey we can't have it all

[RobD]

Oh, and Opeth setlist was:

Windowpane
The Lotus Eater
Harlequin Forest
April Ethereal
Deliverance
Hex Omega

I was soooo damn happy they did April Ethereal and Harlequin Forest. It also means that they've played Deliverance every time I've seen them.

"This next song is so good, it's a masterpiece. I won't even have to introduce it, I'll just have to start singing it and you will instantly know it, because it's a masterpeice.
Hmmm-mm-mmm. Hmmm-mm-mmmm-hmm-mmm..."

[robwebster]

Shit, London got the good setlist. I never get the good setlist.

Ah well, Manchester was ace anyway. Plus I was busy with Porcupine Tree on the tenth (who were STUPIDLY good). At least we got In the Name of God.

"It's like having sex with a really hot chick, and right before she comes, you pull out and batter her repeatedly with a big bag of rocks."

On the other hand I am quite proud of how long this has lasted.

2. A Rite of Passage
3. Hollow Years (extended)
4. Erotomania
5. Voices
6. Solitary Shell
7. Take The Time
-------------------------
8. The Count of Tuscany

Think that was it ... hope I've not missed anything =p. Awesome set list

EDIT: Oh, there was a keyboard solo in there somewhere ... I think it was either just before or just after Hollow Years

[SeRoX]

The setlist we get used to see. It's amazing though.

[Plasmastrike]

I REALLY dig the setlist this time around. I'm anxious to hear that extended Solitary Shell.

I just saw it. Awesome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0H9uBsmuAk

My favourite part was with the Bigelf drummer, they really got the groove going.

[The Curious Orange]

Well, Wembley rocked, for sure, but IMO Manchester just pipped the set-list with Sacrificed Sons, TSCO and ITNOG. That drum solo shambles was an affront to humanity - I know there are loads of people who love drum solos, but then there are loads of people who love Ronan Keating - it doesn't make them right.

Porcupine Tree were great at Hammersmith, but there was no atmosphere towards the back of the stalls - I don't like all-seater venues for rock shows. As a result DT just edged it.

[perfey]

^^ Yep, Manchester got a really good set list. I see that the next show is the 17th, looks like they get some time to get home and recover, thats nice for them, they have really played many shows in a row now, almost a month.

[the-glass-prison]

Dream Theater in Glasgow were simply awesome. James' vocals are the best I've heard for awhile. Only complaint I have was we got Hollow Years. That's their only song that I just can't get into. The Count Of Tuscany to finish. What a performance. Hope they are back again real soon. An evening with would be good but I can't see it happening.

Opeth were ok, saw better shows from them. I was impressed with Bigelf. Unexpect, well they just reminded me of Cradle Of Filth.

Hurry back DT 

[3MinuteWarning]

Opeth kicked ass in Glasgow.  I kinda ditched DT after the first song because I went to meet Opeth at their bus.  A guy I was with used to get guitar lessons from Frederik so he phoned ahead.  Was an awesome experience.  We just chatted and smoked

[bodiesinflight]

Opeth seem like really cool guys...fans who've met them always go on about how down to earth and chilled they are

What is this song some other B-Side from FOABP that has not been even released on the Nil Recurring or is it Anesthetize part 2?

[Nick]

It's the middle of Anesthetize.

[SystematicThought]

It's the middle of Anesthetize.

Quite possibly my favorite part off that album

[antigoon]

It's the middle of Anesthetize.

Quite possibly my favorite part off that album

I think, besides Trains, that was my favorite part of my PT show. The crowd was just SO into it. LOVE Anesthetize.

[The Curious Orange]

You got Remember Me Lover? We got Bonnie the Cat at Hammersmith - and Russia On Ice...

[robwebster]

Ha! I was hoping for Bonnie the Cat cause it was my favourite from disc 2, but seeing Remember Me Lover live has REALLY helped it click, so I'm pretty happy I got that instead. Amazing song. In fact the whole album makes a lot more sense now, I didn't "get" disc 1 at all pre-gig but now I love love LOVE it and it's a top three PT album. Russia On Ice would have been nice though - just for that heavy last section!

Really nice venue too. Insanely posh, I felt a bit out of place.

Well, Wembley rocked, for sure, but IMO Manchester just pipped the set-list with Sacrificed Sons, TSCO and ITNOG.

I guess Manchester was a pretty good setlist... but I mean, aside from the staples, Manchester got...

A Rite of Passage, which I'd seen once before.
Sacrificed Sons, which I'd seen once before.
Dance of Eternity, which London also got.
One Last Time, which I'm not hugely bothered about.
Spirit Carries On, which I'd seen once before.
In The Name Of God, which was on my wishlist (although I'd seen the midsection in Shmedley, but still!)

Whereas London got growls on ANTR, The Mirror/Lie which has been on my wishlist for YEARS, Prophets of War which I really wanted to see, Take The Time which I really wanted to see, and Percussive Nation which sounds pretty neat.

So while Manchester is GRAND on paper and was really fun to watch, it's a bit gutting to log on the next day and see that all the songs I really wanted to see this leg (bar ITNOG) were played a day later, compared to a lot of repeats. But still, Manchester was a brilliant gig and I'm glad I went, PLUS if I went to London I would have missed Bristol Tree, so I'm not too bothered! I'll catch the others in future I'm sure.

Haha, same for me with Bonnie The Cat, live performance made it click for me! Insanely jealous you got Buying New Soul in Bristol...I love that song so much

[The Curious Orange]

Yeah, that's the thing - the grass is always greener. I LOVED Wembley, then I logged on Monday morning and saw what they played at Manchester and Glasgow and it kind of took the shine off. Serves me right, I suppose - that's what you get with bands with rotating setlists. I should be concentrating on what they played, not what they didn't.

Still, roll on the 2010 dates...

The Spirit Carries On, good sound quality

[PlaysLikeMyung]
