No At Wit's End?!!!!! That would be extremely sad to me.

Easily my favorite on D/T... I hope that setlist is not accurate for that reason.

Why would they play Surrender to Reason and not AWE?

Have you not been reading? I have explained in detail a few times why it is pretty much the least likely on the album to be played.

I must have missed it Bosk... can you explain again? Is it the lyrical content?

bosk1 · « **Reply #212 on:** March 21, 2019, 08:10:56 AM »

No. But just process of elimination. Without looking at the spoilers thread (my show is in 3 days, so I'm trying to keep spoiler free, other than knowing SFAM and one other song that is NOT in the set), I think we can pretty safely say that they will play the three promo singles. That's as safe a bet as any. Then we just take a look at which ones the band have talked about and hyped up the most. Not coincidentally, I think the next three would be the next three track-by-track videos in order.

Pale Blue Dot--They've all really gushed about that AND Jordan said he was rehearsing it. This one is DEFINITELY in.

JP, James, and Mike have ALL gushed about Room 137. They love it. And if you think about it, a song like that is pretty likely to go over well in a live setting as just a fun, straightforward sounding rocker.

Barstool Warrior--they are really proud of that one, and other than the ballad, it is the one non-metal song that showcases more of the prog side of their sound. Pretty sure that's in.

If they only go six songs, I think the only way one of the last two I mentioned does NOT get played is if they continue their trend of featuring a ballad from their latest album, which would get Out of Reach in as the token ballad (also possible if they go 7 songs deep rather than 6 from the new album).

So that just leaves S2N and AWE by process of elimination. I know they are proud of both of those songs, and I am very confident we will see them eventually. But I am pretty confident we will not see them this time around.

EDIT: Of course, since they've now played a show, anyone can double check and see whether I am right or wrong by seeing what they actually played. So I guess I'm going to have to stay away from these kinds of threads altogether.

Thanks Bosk, appreciate the response.

bosk1 · « **Reply #214 on:** March 21, 2019, 08:15:02 AM »

It happens to be my runaway favorite song from the album, so I wish it were more likely. But it is what it is. When a band has this many amazing songs, they can't play them all.

lovethedrake · « **Reply #215 on:** March 21, 2019, 08:27:47 AM »

Right there with you... my favorite DT song since 6DOIT.

JayOctavarium · « **Reply #216 on:** March 21, 2019, 09:03:17 AM »

I am in the camp where I would have been perfectly fine with them playing D/T set one, and SFAM Set 2 and maybe a single song Encore. So them possibly not playing AWE hurts just as much as any other song getting left off from the album (Not including Viper King, which is a really fun song but I don't expect to see it live).

Gahh the temptation to check the setlist is really strong right now.

geeeemo · « **Reply #217 on:** March 21, 2019, 11:14:32 AM »

It's my favorite too, but there is no way ever I could be disappointed in one of their shows.. Makes me super hopeful about a 2nd leg and perhaps that and S2N come up then (Ocatavarium???) I have a lot of catching up to do in seeing them live since I have only been in for 3 years. My 4th concert in ONE Day!! I cannot contain my hype!!!

I am a great sleeper and usually retire about 10ish. Awake until 3am last night...tonight flying to LA......got my outfit ready...

Bosk, how are you so sure about FItL being the opener?? If I may ask

Just because it really fits the M.O. for how JP likes to open concerts.

Well, we just had our first temp ban for someone not observing the "no spoilers" tag on the thread. The post has been removed, but sorry to those that may have seen it. It's frustrating that so simple a request cannot be honored by some.

Ben_Jamin · « **Reply #220 on:** March 22, 2019, 10:24:35 AM »

Glad I missed it.

Anyways. It's also a bit hard on Facebook being a part of the DTF Facebook group. Not really, but almost got spoiled. Although I did ask my friend one song. He didnt tell me the song, but said what album its from.

Going to be great hearing the first song not knowing what it'll be.

For sure...especially with folks asking about the set list and what not.

Eight hours to show time. The urge to check on the set list is strong. I'll be leaving the office and meeting friends for dinner. Once I'm out of the office, the temptation will be removed.

So far so good, and I'm leaving the office shortly, so I should be ok.

I have to say, very happy that I avoided spoilers before going to see this. Those of you still holding out... HANG IN THERE!

I was holding out until my show in Chicago, but Blabbermouth ruined the setlist/stage design for me 😡 So I jumped over to the spoiler thread.

I saw that article and stayed clear of even opening the link. I knew they were going to have spoilers in it, because they're Blabbermouth.

I envy your guys patience. Every Rush tour I'd say I'll be surprised but nope I'd be online getting the set list as it happens.

Progmetty · « **Reply #233 on:** March 24, 2019, 02:00:22 AM »

I dunno why but I don't feel like knowing the setlist spoils much for me, it's weird. I avoid looking at the stage set up and won't watch any videos whatsoever before my show but I don't mind knowing the setlist.

Completely agree... I try to avoid videos and Stage setup but like knowing the setlist. The last thing I want to deal with is slight disappointment for a song being played. Especially when it’s likely going to be amazing live anyways. I like to be prepared for what’s coming.

Yeah, I'm definitely okay with knowing. But it was nice going into this one and getting to have a few surprises.

So...anyone interested in hearing my updated predictions now?

Show is today. So fucking excited. My friend is asleep and I'm here in the restaurant of the hotel enjoying a few and getting food.

Hi, I don't want spoiler but I would like to know if they are rotating the setlist in the first set.. can anyone answer?
Thanks

SystematicThought · « **Reply #239 on:** March 30, 2019, 07:07:04 AM »

There’s only one part of the set list that’s been getting rotated it seems

Fritzinger · « **Reply #240 on:** April 18, 2019, 08:45:29 AM »

So it was just announced that Vola will be supporting DT in the shows in Berlin and Dresden. Will this mean we don't get an Evening With show with the whole Metropolis?

Mladen · « **Reply #241 on:** April 18, 2019, 09:02:15 AM »

Those are pretty much all festival dates and I doubt any of them will feature all of the stuff that's being performed in North America at the moment. Maybe bosk or someone could confirm or deny this.

gzarruk · « **Reply #242 on:** April 18, 2019, 09:36:05 AM »

They're doing mostly festivals in Europe this year (I guess they'll do a full headliner tour there next year), so it'll most likely be a shorter setlist for you guys.

Lonk · « **Reply #243 on:** April 18, 2019, 09:46:28 AM »

Petrucci has confirmed they are NOT doing SFAM during the European tour. They might come back for the second leg and play it, but I am not sure.

Scottjf8 · « **Reply #244 on:** April 18, 2019, 12:42:16 PM »

How many songs in the first set?
