Seen the whole thing now, utterly fantastic. JLB and MM own this. And sorry to look this far ahead, but it is shaping up to be a great group of songs on the next DVD if JP keeps putting songs on the setlist that don't have a previous proper non-bootleg DVD version:
The Glass Prison
Blind Faith
The Great Debate
Misunderstood
A Nightmare to Remember (sans RROOOAAARRRR)
Wither
The Count of Tuscany
The Bigger Picture
Behind the Veil
Surrender to Reason
Oh man, any live DVD containing those songs would be incredible.
Huge fan of every last one of them.
Agreed, I it'd be a near perfect setlist actually, wow. Too bad lots of people would complain that it it was a bit one sided and didn't explore enough of their albums. But personally I'd be stoked if a bunch of those songs were on the next tour.
The band sounds fantastic as usual... but I can't hear the choir/orchestra
I was hoping for something along the lines of Metallica's "S&M" where the orchestra really shines.
In fairness, the orchestra stood out a lot on S&M, mostly because it had a lot of treble range sounds coming through which isn't something that's necesarily very common with Metallica, so the orchestra shined through the music. With DT they're still competing with Jordan, and half the stuff we hear from Jordan can easily be confused with the orchestra and vice versa.
Edit: So a package just arrived in the mail... I knew what it would be! Just watched The Enemy Inside and The Shattered Fortress, very very rockin'.
Nearly flawless version of The Enemy Inside i thought and great version that really breathes life into The Shattered Fortress, I'm just disappointed that I can't watch it all right now cause I gotta go to work! I also just ripped the CD to put on my phone and ipod and had a skim through some songs. Listened to some bits of The Mirror and Finally Free. Which I shouldn't be doing, I wanted to experience it all on the blu-ray first time but I'm very tempted to listen to some of the audio at work while I'm out.
This can't be right but the CDs almost sound better than the HD track previews I heard the other day, but that was probably the terrible headset I was using where the compressed sound comes out more clearly.
Illumination Theory is off bounds for me, I'm not gonna listen to that one until I'm up to it on the blu-ray.
Anyway, I expect to have seen it by the end of the day! But man I bet work's gonna go slow...
