2014-03-20 - Massey Hall - Toronto, ON

[dtrox08]

I got mine off the DT website and it said two weeks before the show. Maybe that's what it meant.

[jingle.boy]

I got mine from Ticket Bastard.  Got it about 3 weeks after I ordered it.

[GasparXR]

I ordered mine directly from the Massey Hall website. I haven't received mine in the mail yet. Not worried since it's only been maybe almost 2 weeks, and it still has two months to get here.

[New Millenium]

Got tired of waiting for them in the mail so simply stopped by the Roy Thomson Hall box office one day where they quickly printed them off and handed them to me.

[GasparXR]

Mine arrived in the mail last week. Can't wait!

Would anyone be interested in a pre-show meetup?

JK.  Of course.  Name the place.

[GasparXR]

I'm not from Toronto and I don't know it worth a piss, so I'm open to suggestions.

Well, you're as useful as a cock-flavored lollipop!  Where are you from?

Those aren't useful?!

I'm from Ottawa.

[dream416]

Could meet at the Hard Rock Cafe.....it's just up the street from Massey.

They must only sell those in Canada.

[Laughingplace56]

Well if they change their minds on a song or two for the NA leg of the tour, this is the show where we'll find out 

I'm hoping beyond hoping for TGP instead of TSF, but that's 100% wishful thinking 

[dream416]

Received my ticket today from Crowdsurge......Now bring on the show!!!!!   

[GasparXR]

Just 16 days!!

[rubenchitito]

The show is 11 days away and I am listening like crazy to the few songs that I had not heard yet. Trying to get familiar enough with them for the concert. I still have not heard Illumination theory. This is like getting ready for an exam 

[animalize3]

Well, I just found out that I'm going to be in Toronto next weekend for business, and am thinking of coming a day early so I can see the show. It's my first time looking for last minute single ticket ... anyone have any suggestions? Should I risk waiting until the day of and hope a scalper lets a single go fairly cheap minutes before the show, or spend the cash and grab something off stub hub (which only has singles at the back of the upper balcony atm)?

[jingle.boy]

Massey Hall is only a 2000 or so seat theater. I don't recall ever seeing scalpers for DTs shows.

[animalize3]

Yeah, I saw DT there in 06' and remember seeing a few guys outside trying to sell tickets as we queued to get in. Better not chance it though...

Holy Shit - Managed to snag a single in the 4th row centre from MasseyHall.com

Weird that Ticketmaster and MasseyHall.com have different seats to choose from ...

[TheGreatPretender]

Hey, guys, I ordered a VIP ticket, just wondering if anyone could let me know whether it should have come in by now or not? Cause I'm getting kind of worried.

Nice!  Most likely from the block that is held for friends/family that didn't get used. I got front row centre in Phoenix last tour the same way.

Guys if you haven't seen this interview with Petrucci-There goes any hope of a setlist change It's still good just wish certain songs were switched.

The North American Along for the Ride tour kicks off on March 20 in Toronto. Will you be making any drastic changes in the setlist, comparing with the setlist you perform in Europe?
No, the set’s gonna be the same and the way that we are doing things this time around it’s very – there’s a certain flow through the set and through the story. Everything has a meaning and a purpose, all of the songs that we chose, all of the visuals and everything. So, it’s more like a storyline that goes through the show. In order to deliver in a most professional, exciting and consistent way it was important for us to keep the same set, so it’s gonna be the same and I’m actually really excited to bring it in North America, because we’ve got incredible reactions to it here in Europe. It’s a very unique set, it’s a lot of music, it’s an evening’s worth, there’s three hours and it’s really intense. I can’t wait to bring this to North America – US, Canada, Mexico. It’s gonna be great.

[theseoafs]

I'm happy there are no changes to the setlist -- there are a few songs I'm not crazy about, but a hell of a lot of songs I am crazy about, and I'd like to keep those.  I'm sure the setlist will change for the 2nd leg, and that we'll hear the missing DT12 songs then.

[mike099]

Since you guys are first for North America, it would be fun if they shook up the set list a bit and maybe added/substitued the Bigger Picture, Surrender to Reason and/or Behind the Veil.  I think Behind the Veil would be killer as the opening to the second set.

The chances of a set list change a slim and none. 

[dream416]

Anyone receive their VIP itinerary yet?

[Robber Soul]

Hey guys, I'm in a bind and need to sell my tickets if anyone here is interested.  Can't go now.  Boss is away on vacation and I'll be stuck working.

RSG
Row G
Seats 99 & 100
$58 each

Please PM if interested.

Thanks,
Rob

As tempting as it is to look at the recent setlists, I'm resisting the urge. Gonna go in blind, and hope for an awesome set

And based on the above JP quote/interview, Slim just left town.

The North American leg is almost upon us

It's awesome.

I definitely agree with them keeping the set the same for the first NA leg. However, if they keep it the same for the entire tour, whether they want to keep it as tight a production as possible or not, I won't agree with it. For the second legs of the tour, there definitely needs to be some changes plus the remaining 3 DT12 songs.

[cyberdrummer]

I'm 99% sure there will be changes for the 2nd European Leg. Whether they revert to the original setlist if they head to Australia, for example - where obviously they haven't played any of the songs so far - we'll have to wait and see.

[jingle.boy]

I'm really fuckin nervous right now.  We're supposed to get some freezing rain here on Wednesday.  I'm flying home from Boston on Thursday morning, and if that weather delays my departure out of Boston, I'll go fucking apeshit.

Good luck with having a safe flight.

[jingle.boy]

Well, just checked the Boston forecast for Thursday morning... looks to be well above zero with isolated showers.

Fingers crossed!

3 days!
