Looking at the youtube footage, I have a question...

By the looks of it, James is using a wireless mic. How long has James been using them? I thought the band didn't like wireless.

IIRC, he didn't use wireless last tour.

I believe he did for some shows and others he didn't.  In LaLP he is wireless, but there were some other shows on that tour I distinctly remember him using a wired mic.  Over the past few album cycles though, I think he has been primarily using wireless, all the way back to Score, which was also wireless.

The only band member I have ever heard mention a dislike for wireless was JP and he was speaking in regards to his guitar, as he still uses a traditional cable because he likes the sound of it.  JMX's bass is wireless and has been for a while I think....

IIRC, the band are back on wireless these days. Maybe technology is just that much better now?

MM knows how to write drum solos. It's good how he was able to incorporate elements from his solo in the previous tour but mix it in the context of The Enigma Machine.

I also have a better appreciation of TEM. It's not that good as a studio release but it sounds exciting in a live setting. I love when the Myung breaks come in. :)

Anyone else notice how MM used a lot of one-handed rolls in Illumination Theory?

Kev, come to DET and come with my wife and I. I know how much you'd enjoy this show because of all the Awake on it!

Oh, I am gonna enjoy it, but I am already going elsewhere to see it.  Namely, Chicago and Kansas City. :metal

We should organize a Chicago meetup.  I'll be there and some friends will too.

Hey there everybody! It was great seeing the reactions to the video (symphonic section) of Illumination Theory as this was of my doing. Great to see that people loved it! Makes me a very happy guy! Great kick off to a great tour! Looking forward to more!

Well done, you and Blob have done a great job.

What did blob do?

I did the False Awakening intro video, and the taxi videos (song intros + AFTR).

WAIT. Blob you did all this?? You did an AWESOME job. Really, it's mind-blowing!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU BLOB!!!!!

Awesome setlist, would rather see OTBOA and BAI replaced with TBP, BTV, STR but other than that, really cool.  May have to check my finances and go to the Manchester show.  :metal

BAI was awesome on the three nights I've seen on this tour. There's a part towards the end where JP and JMX double up which is driving the fans nuts every night!

I managed to record almost the entire show except for "On the Backs of Angels" I was not sure if I had enough battery time, so I chose to skip that song
For those who are interested I have uploaded them to my mediafire account and people can get them here

I guess I have used up all my vocavulary to thank and praise you in the past two years. Great videos, great sound and great testimony of a great night! I believe the last time a first, headlining tour date was video recorded dates back to 2002 with the famous BB King reharsal show!

That is awesome, thank you so much! Did anyone notice MM playing standing up during The Shattered Fortress at about 6:45? Pretty cool, and it seems to me he really found his place in the band now, he is very comfortable and has a better stage presence i think.

If there is anyone who could convert the audio to FLAC or MP3 i would be grateful!

Downloading now, and about to watch the video of Scarred on YouTube. Thanks so much for recording the show and providing the download! It's okay that you didn't get OTBOA because we already have a live version of that, and we may not have gotten The Looking Glass had you used up your battery. :tup

Hey FrostbiteZ!

Thanks for the great upload.

Could you take a look at Breaking All Illusions? I've attempted to grab it 5 times now and it just keeps failing.

Yeah, I noticed he has a new one....it's a shame though, I thought the previous one looked badass.

I actually hit 30% before my son shut the computer off.
 :facepalm:

I had to start over...
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

I just downloaded it without a problem and it plays fine. Could it be your browser that is the cause?

Just downloaded to check, and it works for me as well.  Used latest Internet Explorer (too much crap to allow in Firefox to get Mediafire working right).

Thanks so much for uploading these!  Great work and quality as always.
