« on: March 15, 2016, 05:40:52 PM »
Any speculations/info about further dates? I'm super hyped about whether they'll come back for some more Europe dates with the full Astonishing again, so that i can catch some better seats this time. It miiiight just happen..! :eek
I guess we'll see... yes, we shall see..  ;)

Welcome!  I was waiting for the reference . . . yes, we shall see.  Well done!  I think this is a fantastic album and the more they tour the better.  There is really a mass appeal for this and I would love to see this tour really take off!

2017. That's great news. I'm missing the tour this time around and I'm NOT happy about it.  :censored
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 hope this means another full tour with other songs too. I'm a little disappointed that my first DT show is going to be an Astonishing exclusive performance  :'(
Oh well, c'est la vie

I take it this means there will be dates added but not yet, no?
I wouldn't want somebody with 18 kids to mow my damn lawn, based on a longstanding bias I have against crazy fucks.

I think it stands to reason that there will be more dates, apparently going all the way into 2017. The band doesn't have dates for Asia, Oceania or South America, so I think it's almost a given that dates will be announce for those regions. And there's a lot of Europe that has gotten missed on this present leg of the tour, so perhaps they'll go back and play in several of the cities that they didn't this time around. Maybe they'll go thru North America a second time and even play in the south which seems to always get passed over for the Evening With shows.

What will be interesting is to see whether they just continue to perform TA in its entirety or if they will be changing up the setlist when they start going to some of the same territories they've already played. I hope that as the tour progresses, the band will loosen up and we'll start to see some additions/changes to the way some of the songs are being performed so that it's not a (close to) carbon copy of what's on the album. Only then do I hope they'll film a show or two for video release. IMO, they filmed the BtFW release too early in the tour, so that stuff like the improv at the beginning of ToT wasn't documented.
As a basic rule, if you hate it, you must solely blame Portnoy. If it's good, then you must downplay MP's contribution to the band as not being important anyway, or claim he's just lying. It's the DTF way.

I'm hoping they do the south and continue playing TA in it's entirety.

I am sure they'd like to keep playing all of TA for the duration, but I suspect they will judge the reaction of crowds for these first few months of shows and go from there.  If the live shows aren't going over as well as they hoped, I could see them adjusting the set list on later legs and only playing some of the core songs from TA while mixing in many old favorites.

Going by the two shows I attended and what has been written about the others I think the show is very well recieved...

If they swing back through Europe another time I would consider travelling to catch them doing the Astonishing live again. Fantastic shows might even beat out Peter Gabriels Secret world as the best concert I have seen...

Not sure how great a measure that is. For extending the TA tour into new places, sure, but if they're coming back to the same places, the fact that most of us really enjoyed the shows this time doesn't mean we want to see exactly the same show again a few months later.

Ariich is a freak, or somehow has more hours in the day than everyone else.

I'm sure they will stick with TA until 2017. On the last tour they also played exactly the same set when they did the second European run. Even when they played in a city they had already visited on the last leg, they didn't change anything. I think they are a lot less flexible since they do these big "video-shows". However, I wouldn't mind seeing this show again at all :metal

I expect it will be the same setlist throughout. They invested a lot in the album, and the whole live production.
Only King could mis-spell a LETTER.
Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

Didn't someone in another thread reference a Brazilian JP interview where he said the entire TA tour cycle would feature TA in its entirety throughout?
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

JP said to me that this tour cost way too much for it to just be a "one off" - they're going to extend it to as many territories and places as possible. Don't expect any non-TA shows unless it's festival shows.

Personally I am thinking there's a difference between "The Astonishing Live" and the world tour. I think they may condense it down to one of the halves of the show.

With that being said and assuming they do condense it, what do you include? For me the whole album is one big pie. And I want the whole pie dammit!
