Thanks To the band for a wonderful Australian visit, Both nights in Melbourne were fantastic, also the meet and greet with Mike being the most outgoing person as we chatted about RUSH, to his surprise the fact that they have never been here, I did ask if he would kindly pass on the request. Still do not know thou if JM can actually speak.

It's obvious that DT are burned out. Look at the set lists for Australia, not much different than the 90 min Prog Nation, pretty much rotating the same songs around with a few differences.

However, DT have been plowing through this decade non-stop, I mean 6 studio albums, and tours ever year is just sick in this day and age. It's time for a break - and a well derserved one. And we are still getting a new DT instrumental!!!

They have had major accomplishments, that no band with the level of complex prog/rock/metal music and pretty much zero radio or video support has really ever attained.

DT deserves a long break. I would say just take all of 2010 off. Maybe 2011 as well.

Early 2012, start writing for the next album. Take your time. Break the formula of the past several albums (long opener, ballad, 'hit', long songs, and closing with an epic). Break that mold. Throw it away.

In other words: PROGRESS.

Take most of 2012 to work on this, release in late 2012 or early 2013 and hit the road again in 2013. It will be fresh, the fans will be hungry.

That's right, I'm recommending 3 years off the road for DT. People won't forget them.

So what are the chances of a South American tour? I'm pretty sure it's been mentioned by MP.

What do the set lists in Australia have to do with being "burned out?" I don't think you know what you are talking about.

cyberdrummer · « **Reply #2036 on:** December 14, 2009, 02:50:13 PM »

I don't agree that they're 'burned out', but I am surprised they didn't add a couple of different songs to the mix in Australia.

Adami · « **Reply #2037 on:** December 14, 2009, 05:44:33 PM »

I too am a bit surprised by the lack of surprises in the setlists.

GuineaPig · « **Reply #2038 on:** December 14, 2009, 06:14:23 PM »

Wonder if South American dates are going to happen.

I'm mainly surprised by the lack of surprise in Melborne.

Nick · « **Reply #2040 on:** December 15, 2009, 11:11:52 AM »

Now that it's over, I think the thing that surprises me more than anything is that there was not a single Japanese show, that's weird.

I think that's a risky move. Not just that people will get into other bands in the meantime and lose the will to watch DT again (believe me, I know how it is to forget about a band because it took a long break), but DT will have to dig deep down and realize how to make progressive metal in their own style.

Nick · « **Reply #2042 on:** December 15, 2009, 11:44:13 AM »

You mean like they've been for the last 20+ years?

Well, I don't know if Mladen meant this, but I think that DT's work from 1989-2002 was very unique, and their "own style"; something I have a hard time comparing to other bands. Since then, I feel they've tended to drift more sound-wise to one side or the other regarding their influences. Personally, it's a lot easier for me to point to a song on the last couple of albums and say "that sounds like band x" than it is for the first 6.

cyberdrummer · « **Reply #2045 on:** December 19, 2009, 02:59:10 AM »

Yeah looks like it.

I wonder if we'll see the debut of the new instrumental at any of these shows.

Zeltar · « **Reply #2046 on:** December 22, 2009, 11:40:41 AM »

I know I'm a little late to the best setlist of the tour party but I just wanted to say that idk what the best setlist of the tour was, but the best moment of the show I went to was in TCOT. That final minute with the crowd singing along to the "whoaaaaa"s and the animation on the screen, it was perfect. Easily one of the best moments of any concert I've ever been to.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #2047 on:** December 22, 2009, 10:12:21 PM »

The entire outro section of TCOT was amazing live. I actually got chills when the acoustic guitar part kicked in. Was a definite highlight of the two DT shows I've been to.

cookienut · « **Reply #2048 on:** December 22, 2009, 10:46:58 PM »

Agreed. JP was in total domination mode at the Adelaide concert. Everyone around me were going nuts for that part. The atmosphere and feeling was fantastic.

cyberdrummer · « **Reply #2049 on:** January 07, 2010, 07:52:26 AM »

My favourite part of the London show was probably Take the Time. My 6th DT gig and I finally get to see it live.

We should meet at the NJ gig and see if the venue blows up from the fail

Nick · « **Reply #2061 on:** March 04, 2010, 08:36:16 PM »

Seeing as the show is on a Sunday, I can see myself tailgating most of the day.

73109 · « **Reply #2062 on:** March 04, 2010, 08:37:02 PM »

Is that a yes!?!?!?

PlaysLikeMyung · « **Reply #2063 on:** March 05, 2010, 02:55:56 PM »

Nobody wants to meet up with you

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #2064 on:** March 05, 2010, 03:49:56 PM »

Hey, we get to see a setlist tonight, hopefully.
