Dude, I wanna hear Space-Dye Vest and see KM just as much as you do -- it just isn't a realistic possibility. Although, I suppose it IS a "dream setlist."

robwebster · « **Reply #9 on:** August 11, 2009, 05:21:46 PM »

I've tried to do something pretty realistic here... checking off a bunch of songs I'd love to see live and think would be ace, and a bunch that I've seen before and loved, but would rather see in a standing, general admission format like they've done the past two times I caught them.

This is kinda a combo of songs that I haven't seen live yet, and songs that I just think are brilliant live and want to see again.

1. New Millennium
2. A Rite of Passage
3. These Walls
4. Peruvian Skies /
5. Fatal Tragedy
6. The Mirror
7. Lie
8. Stream of Consciousness
9. Take the Time

--INTERMISSION--

10. A Nightmare To Remember
11. War Inside My Head /
12. The Test that Stumped Them All
13. Cover My Eyes
14. Prophets of War
15. In the Name of God

--ENCORE--
16. The Root of All Evil
17. Octavarium

I've not bothered to tot up the numbers, for all I know that could be a stupidly long set, but it "feels" about right. It's not the perfect setlist, but god if I ever got to see that show I would spaff all over the floor. And hopefully no-one would notice.

That's PS off the OVM tour if anyone gives a crap! With the Peruvian Jam. And Wherever I May Roam, and Wish You Were Here. It's a completely fictitious gig mind so I don't know why I'm specifying. That'd be the icing on the cake though.

Zantera · « **Reply #10 on:** August 11, 2009, 05:39:46 PM »

Let me think about it...

1. Under A Glass Moon (I&W) [~7 mins]
2. The Mirror (Awake) [~7 mins]
3. Lie (Awake) [~6.30 mins]
4. Misunderstood (SDOIT) [~9 mins]
5. Instrumental Medley (with Killers, Damage Inc. to name a few) [~6 mins]
6. Innocence Faded (Awake) [~5.30 mins]
7. Octavarium (Octavarium) [~23 mins]
--------------------
8. Guitar Solo by JP [~4 mins]
9. Surrounded (I&W) [~6 mins]
10. Bass Solo by JM [~2 mins]
11. Panic Attack (Octavarium) [~9 mins]
12. Keyboard Solo [~3 mins]
13. Erotomania/Drum Solo/Erotomania Cont. (Awake) [~10 mins]
14. Voices (Awake) [~9 mins]
15. The Silent Man (Awake) [~5 mins]
16. Constant Motion (SC) [~6 mins]
17. The Glass Prison (SDOIT) [~13 mins]
---encores---
18. In The Presence Of Enemies part1 (SC) [~9 mins]
19. A Nightmare To Remember (BC&SL) [~16 mins]
20. 6.00 (Awake) [~6 mins]
21. Caught In A Web (Awake) [~6 mins]
---encore2---
22. Metropolis Part1: The miracle and the sleeper (I&W) [~9 mins]

Okey, this looks really good imo.
Some reasons etc behind song-choices...

1. As you see, im a sucker for Awake.
2. I want to see DT perform a lot of varied material, therefor i have tried to keep down the amount of Epics to just Octavarium.
3. I had plans on putting Fatal Tragedy, Beyond this life or Home on the list, but i decided not to, cause i feel they wouldn't be as good without the rest of SFAM.
4. some odd-picks perhaps, like 6.00 (has it ever been played live? ;O), and most of Awake as i said.

I haven't really counted on it, but i GUESS this setlist is around 3 hours.
Which wouldn't be impossible for DT to play.
Maybe some day

A heavy mix of Images and Words, Awake, FII, with a smattering of select songs from the JR era and an encore of A Change of Seasons.

YtseBitsySpider · « **Reply #18 on:** August 14, 2009, 05:59:41 AM »

I would have liked to have seen the SFAM tour.
When they came to Ottawa they played the first 4 songs in a row..and that was sweet, and I've seen Spirit Carries on as well.

But I'd love to see that tour over again, with graphics and everything.

Which order wouldn't really matter, but a perfect setlist could include:
The Ytse Jam
Another Day
Take The Time
Learning To Live
6:00
Lifting Shadows Off A Dream
Trial Of Tears
Strange Deja Vu
Home
One Last Time
The Spirit Carries On
The Great Debate
Stream Of Consciousness
In The Name Of God
Panic Attack
A Nightmare To Remember
A Rite Of Passage
The Shattered Fortress

Should be about 3 hours...

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #22 on:** August 15, 2009, 07:02:05 AM »

in no order (actually it's chronological, but it's not in an order I'd want to hear them)-

PMU
Take The Time
Metropolis
Under a Glass Moon
Caught In a Web
Lines in the Sand
Trial of Tears
The Spirit Carries On
The Glass Prison
As I Am
ITNOG
TROAE
These Walls
Constant Motion
The Dark Eternal Night
A Nightmare to Remember
The Count of Tuscany

That's 2:54 or so going by the studio versions, around 3 or so when you factor in the live versions. These aren't just my favourites, I've cut it down to songs I think work well live and that I'd like to hear played at a show I go to. There are some songs I like more than these, but there are some of them I don't enjoy hearing live versions of so much (like most of the SDOIT album)

millahh · « **Reply #23 on:** August 15, 2009, 07:14:21 AM »

This reminds me of one of my favorite threads on the old board...name your worst possible realistic setlist. 6:00 had the encore ending with "Jordan Rudess Keyboard solo".
