Top 3 (or 5) songs you would like to see on the next tour?

[gzarruk]

About the setlist for the upcoming tour, and I know this isn't going to happen, would love to see:

Set 1: DOT
Set 2: SFAM

Encore: Maybe a short song, since they would've just played two complete albums.

[CrimsonE]

Learning to Live:  Aside from a brief segment in Smedley Wilcox (2007-2008 tour), I've never seen this one live, and it remains one of my favorite DT songs.
Great Debate:  Never seen this one live either, and I don't believe they've played it since their summer 2011 run
Peruvian Skies:  Would love to see this live, with them including a few bars from Pink Floyd and another few from Metallica.

Honorable mention: Sacrificed Sons. 

[ToT-147]

Also, since people still keep suggesting songs, did you guys not pick up on the part where I said I already submitted the list from this thread to the band?

I guess they didn't, and still aren't..

I thought you were changing the name of the thread once you posted the final results..

But yeah, I think most people that open a thread and comment on it have only read the title of it, and maybe the OP..

[ReaperKK]

1. Blind Faith
2. In The Presence of Enemies
3. Misunderstood

HM:
4. Anna Lee
5. To Live Forever

I really would love to see Blind Faith, it's one of my favorite SDOIT songs.

[Rattlehead]

Maybe you should update the thread title  I jumped to the last page and posted my list, as many others are still doing. This was a really cool idea though, thanks for passing our suggestions along to the band.

I did the same thing

Read the Rolling Stone Interview, we're getting all SFAM in the setlist. Let's speculate the 3 to 4 older cuts that may end up on the first set or encore.

I'd like them all to be MM era songs, honestly. At least, I hope there's no IAW tracks and that they play songs they never have with this lineup.

[MirrorMask]

Never say never, but my best guess would be that on the next tour there won't be any song off Images and Words, and nor songs from The Astonishing either.

[cramx3]

I'd really love if they snuck in a TA song, like those are short enough to sneak one in I'd think but you are probably correct.

Also, without hearing any of it, I dnt think I'd be against getting all of DOT but that seems really unlikely.

[bosk1]

I'd be kind of surprised if they didn't include a TA song this tour.

[MirrorMask]

I'd be kind of surprised if they didn't include a TA song this tour.

Well, they've played the entire album to mixed reactions. Then they went into the Images and Words tour, played two songs - the single and the closing song, dropping a third almost immediately - and then scrapped them for older I&W outtakes, and dropped them as well without bringing back the Astonishing song.

My gut feeling is that they'll leave aside the album because "it works better as a whole anyway". Then I'm a big fan of the album so if they'll prove me wrong, that's very, very fine with me.

[The Walrus]

Ugh. All of SFAM being played just made this an immediate pass for me. I know it's only one of the sets but I seriously have no interest in watching that album played in its entirety. We already have Metropolis 2000 and James sounds better there anyway.

I don't know what ticket prices are like for you, but the local show in NJ for me has $25 tickets.  I'd say that's easily worth it for just the non SFAM set personally.  However the NYC show is not nearly as cheap so I'm not sure if that's the case near you.

[bosk1]

Yeah, you should just stay away.  The other set is going to be a concept piece extolling the virtues of not using cart corrals.  I don't think it would be your thing.

[Samsara]

My choices:

1. Anna Lee -- so simple, so moving. A nice addition to the set list to break up the metal, and give a nod to FII.

2. In the Name of God - I don't keep track of setlists, so not sure the last time it was played. But the last time I saw it was 2004 on the ToT tour. Love the song. Really powerful.

3. The Ytse Jam - 30th anniversary, the song that was your name sake, and what a great treat. Time to dust this one off and let it rip.

[The Walrus]

herp a derp

If tix are cheap enough and I can make the date then maybe, I'm just not jazzed whatsoever about it, that's 80 minutes on its own. At least the new album will be out so I can just focus on that.

EDIT: my best friend wants to go so it looks like I'm going anyway. god damn it 

[genome]

1. Octavarium
2. The Glass Prison
3. The Count of Tuscany

[pg1067]

Hot damn!  I'm even more happy I jumped on the second row ticket.

[The Walrus]

also if James wants to sing about not putting the carts back in the corrals he deserves another Myung Tackle

[cramx3]

Maybe in honor of DTF their stage set up for this tour will have shopping carts and cones on it. 

[ReaperKK]

I'm pretty excited to see SFAM in it's entirety except for TSCO, I am very, very tired of that song

I'm so triggered 

[fadetoblackdude7]

I am too, but I'll roll with it this time since it's in the proper context.

[Bertie_Wooster]

Speak to me

Raise the knife

Count of Tuscany

Ministry of lost souls

The great debate (without soundbites)

They should have a drawing of everyone who bought the M&G, and the winner gets to be tackled by JM.

I'm a bit tired of it independent of the album.  In context, though, it'll be great (albeit without the extended solo).

Except for TCOT, that's pretty much my anti-set list.

Greatest idea ever. 

[As I Am]

I agree, but only because:
1) I've seen SFAM played in full 4 times already
2) Would much rather see WDADU in full
3) Without MP on drums, it just won't be nearly as good
4) Like you said, JLB has seen better days.

Anyway, it's still a classic album (I mean it will certainly be better than sitting through TA ) and I'm sure the first set and encore will be awesome.

[MirrorMask]

Anyway, since they're playing SFAM, they could end the show with a majestic live ending for Finally Free and then, as an excuse to catch some breath, have the outro of the album play as it is on the record.

And then since it all ends with a static noise, you know, since they're at it and they need a song to start the encore..............

I would almost guarantee that TGP will be the encore. It's named all over this thread (for god knows what reason, the single most overrated song this band has ever written) and would fit in well with the ending of FF. After 2 full sets, I can't imagine anything much longer for an encore, if they actually even do one.

[Samsara]

TGP would make sense, but I really hope it isn't. I saw that song the first time they played it live (I think -- BB Kings back in January 2002), and a few times after, and while it is OK, I just don't need to see/hear it again.

[MirrorMask]

Well, it's not a given they'll play the song, and they could play it elsewhere in the set. And coming off two sets one of which is an 80 minutes long album, it makes more sense and balance to have a single song, maybe an epic, as encore. But just imagine how cool it would be for people sitting over the Finally Free outro thinking "yeah, we all know it" and then the static goes on and on and you hear the little bell and FFFFFUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!

I would love that.    I love The Glass Prison (and everything else from Six Degrees) and that would be a really cool end to the show.  I missed SFAM the first time around, so I'm very excited about this tour and am just fine with it being Mangini behind the kit.
