I would bet that one is Bridges in the Sky
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Oh cool!!! I like all the songs that have been hinted at so far. But aside from Behind the Veil, I´ve seen them live a whole bunch of times...I´d be  curious to find out how Mangini will perform A Nightmare to Remember.

Yeah, very cool, it seems that the set list will be one song (not very long) for each record. I hope they include Another Won and ACoS too, so we'll have kind of "totally representative" set list of the 30 years. I think it's cool to see that they are selecting pre-MM DT songs that weren't played live by MM (or at least only a few times, like As I Am).

I'm thinking they are going in chronological order and that's why Behind The Veil is last on the set. I'm hoping that for the shows that have more time they have an encore with A Change Of Seasons.

Just watch the audition video.  ;D

Spot on... :rollin

Sorry but while "As I am" looks probable even if not so clear, "Behind the veil" and "Panick Attack" defintely yes, where do you read the word "in"in the third title on that frame?
I read XXXXXXXX AT XXX (THE?) XXXXX so simply cannot figure out... No DT song with the word "at" as I can remember... Unless it's a new one? Wow! Or cover? Naaaaahhh....

Pretty sure that one is Bridges in the Sky. It's so blurry that I'm looking more at the general shapes rather than expecting to interpret specific letters too clearly.

Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

I will be going to the show in Pratteln, Switzerland with Queensryche. As there are only playing 4 bands in total at this "festival", I'm assuming that they will play the more extended set. :tup
So I'm also hoping that they will pull out A change of Seasons, that would be a dream come true.

I love all of the 4 songs on the bottom of the blurry list. Maybe I would rather hear The Bigger Picture from the self titeled, but I'm REALLY ok with Behind the veil, too. :D

This might even be my favourite one of all time.  There's just something about it that I love.

Idk if it's the best of all time, but I can fairly say it's the best on DT 12 for me, the only one with a replay value.

I agree, The Bigger Picture is the best on DT12. But even the best on that album only just barely breaks into my top 50.

I think DT 12 suffers from the same problems found on every album after 8vm : well-executed but cold and clinical.

James said he loves the song too and it might be his favorite in the entire DT catalog.

 :D ... Yeah!  Great pic.

DT12:  I seem to like the epics the best off the albums.  Really I see them separate from the shorter songs.  For me the epic IT is the tops for that album.  But the Bigger Picture is the best of the shorter songs.  Those 2 and Along For The Ride are the ones I primarily listen to.

IT is probably my favorite, but I listen to the The Bigger Picture-Behind the Veil-Surrender to Reason stretch of the album more than any other part of it. Those 3 songs, especially in a row, feel the most inspired out of the shorter songs, imo, and of course they're the only 3 NOT played on the DT12 tour, even when 2/5 members gave TBP heaps of praise.

Well, the tour will start in a few days, so I hope that we get some news soon. James probably will say something about the release date on stage. :yarr

I don't think there will be news, other than what the actual setlist is (which i never care about too much). Other than that, the festival concerts are usually much more bare-bones. I don't expect anything other than a few YouTube videos.

Yeah, I don`t even know that much music by Devin Townsend, but Haken and Dream Theater (of course) are gonna be awesome. I also only live about 100 miles away from Bonn so this is completely ridiculous!

I know it's hopeful thinking, but as Jordan posted an old-school ACOS video a few days ago I hope they are reviewing the song for the upcoming tour. Probably not going to happen, but still a man can dream.

He's not going to post anything related to ACOS if they weren't going to play it.
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
