Doubt it. They were playing Erotomania/Voices a lot at the end of the last tour, and all they've done is throw in one more. There won't be any commemorating Awake. It just isn't the landmark album that there other occasions were.
Not true, I've been a fan of DT since 1989 when I saw them open for Marillion back in my senior year of high school. 20 years ago! Here is a different perspective.... My buddy and I went to the record store the next day and bought 'WDADU', we were blown away. You have to understand back then there was nothing like DT. Maybe Queensryche. Bands like Rush were still doing the 80's synth stuff... However DT vanished after that, of course we didn't know Charlie was out, there was no internet back then, lol.
I forgot about DT until my senior year of college when I heard 'Pull Me Under' on the radio, you have to understand back then that song was EVERYWHERE. If you went to a record store there were cassette singles of PMU and Another Day, lol. Saw DT at the Manhattan Center in NYC the summer after I graduated college and was blown away.
Around Sept 1994 the radio stations started playing 'Lie' a lot! I mean that song was very popular and MTV and VH1 even showed the video ! When 'Awake' came out I was a first day buyer as I have been with every DT album since.
'Awake' did very well, in fact it is the best selling DT album since Images & Words, I think it moved around 250,000 copies or so. But remember back then we actually had to get our asses to the record store and buy it. There was no downloading. The radio station also played 'The Silent Man', and 'Caught in a Web' here and there. Can you imagine? 3 new DT songs being played on your local rock station? Never will happen in 2009.
But in 1994 DT were still riding the success from I & W. Saw the show for Awake in NYC in October 1994, great gig but was surpised Kevin Moore was gone! Again, there was no Internet to speak of, he was on the linear notes of the album but the first time I found out he had left was at the concert!
That's how it was back then, most rock/metal news came from the 'Metal Wire' section of Metal Edge magazine, and it was usually 2 months old, lol.
If you went into any record store back then you would also find the singles for 'Lie' and 'The Silent Man'. Trust me, back in 1994 'Awake' was a pretty big album, and it would behoove DT to commemorate it this fall at the 15 year mark. I can't believe that show I first saw them was 20 years ago.
Enjoy your youth, because it's gone before you know it!
Anyway I have seen every DT tour multiple times, have met them a few times, and have bought every CD (not Mp3) on the release date. They have never let me down, and the only time that I wondered if they were going to fold was when 'Falling Into Infinity' came out.
When they put out 'Scenes from a Memory' I knew DT were in it for the long haul. I still can't believe they have 10 albums out. 'Awake' will always be the 'new' DT album to me, lol.
I'm 37, married, in a PhD program, accomplished a lot since I was that kid in high school who really didn't want to see Marillion but got dragged along. Instead I got introduced to the most amazing band of all time.
And every girlfriend I've had, including my wife, has hated them.
