It's about time. Didn't they tell us back in December that dates would be announced shortly?  :lol

Very interesting discussion the last two pages from November, sorry I missed it. I'm on the "you don't have to keep your studio efforts at your live performance ability minimum" team.
So on to the news, I've been out of the loop, what's the setlist for that I&W tour? Just I&W in it's entirety?
I wouldn't want somebody with 18 kids to mow my damn lawn, based on a longstanding bias I have against crazy fucks.

Here's a setlist:

I believe it was Bosk, maybe someone else, that hinted DT may change some songs in the first set for the NA tour.  I hope they don't though, unless it's going to change the opener.  I'd rather them play something different personally.

I agree on the opener. Personally, I find TDEN to be a total snoozefest once the opening riff is over. I wouldn't be surprised to see them remove TGoM and ONW from the first set, seeing as how poorly received The Astonishing was on their second time through.

Yea, it's got a sick opening riff but the rest of the song is just not that interesting to me (and I've seen it a few times live now).  However, I think TA songs stay, and I say that just because I think DT is still going to try and support that album a bit.  Maybe they change those songs, but I can't see them abandoning TA songs already.  Those songs are short too so it's not taking up too much set time.

I think ITPOE pt. 1 could have been a great opener for that tour instead of TDEN. It hasn't been played since the SC tour, unlike TDEN which have been overplayed IMO, and it has that sick intro.

Agreed, LOVE that song and wish they'd bring it back.

May the DT guys hear you! ITPOE pt. 1 would work very well as the opener for this tour. Also, would love to see them replace TBP with STR  :hefdaddy
It sounds like, "ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk." Instead of the more pleasing kick drum sound of, "gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk."

ITPOE Pt. 1 is one of the great album openers in history, IMO, it's up there with Tom Sawyer.

There are plenty of songs that DT has showcased in Europe, but given no attention in the U.S.  Behind the Veil and Wither come to mind.  I honestly think DT should work those into the first set for the U.S.

Would like to see The Bigger Picture and Behind The Veil on the US tour. Also Octavarium instead of ACOS.    :metal.   Even though ACOS would still be nice..

Heck, the dates and cities haven't even been released yet, but it can't hurt to lobby for songs that have been overlooked in the U.S.

[This other space reserved for the folks in all other cities that went to see The Astonishing live even though they were not crazy about the album, but figured supporting the tour would be beneficial in the future.]

Ha! So true. May as well get started...

While I know that these kind of things are outside of the band's control, I think that they'd be crazy not to come through North Carolina again. Their show at DPAC last year was probably 90% full and the crowd loved it.

:soon:
I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces
