Any chance they go to an Evening With format this time, so none of the previous songs have to be pulled to make room for the new ones?

The announcement says "plus support", so not this time.

It sounds like, "ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk." Instead of the more pleasing kick drum sound of, "gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk."

I’m just hoping that the 2023 leg includes a more complete Oceania leg. Download Japan and Jakarta do not an Asian tour make and Australia’s still waiting from getting COVIDed out.
Let's go with a P for Deadeye has premature alphabetejaculation.

Damn. ATC and SG are hinted at, yet I'd enjoy Transcending time the most.

By the way, do we have anyone from Naples to keep us up to date on the set list during the first night?

They will start in Tel Aviv (my hometown). I’ll update post show :)

So Answering the Call is replacing Invisible Monster and Sleeping Giant is replacing Awaken the Master? That’s my guess. Probably switch out a couple of the older tunes. They’ll keep The Alien for sure. Probably keep the title track and TCOT.
Can't we find the minds

As much as I love TCOT, I think it'd be best to drop it and keep as much AVFTTOTW tracks as possible. Drop BITS too.

I would be *really* surprised if they dropped AtM since it's the chance for JP to show off his 8-string. Rather, I'd think that AtC and SG might alternate in IM's slot, and maybe they'll change out on of the older tunes for something different - I would hope BitS to get away from the taped vocal fiasco completely, but I don't think they will.
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.

Wouldn't go so far as to said it is confirm. Didn't they practice Room 137 and yet it didn't get played?

Not saying is not gonna happen, just saying I wouldn't take this videos as confirmation.

JP said mid to late 2023 at best. Maybe I'm not as patient as you, but that doesn't sound like soon to me at all :D

Same.  I was hoping for this.  Plus it shouldn't conflict with the Metallica dates I have tickets to in August.

Yeah, for a variety of reasons, my interest in Dream Theater as a live band has dropped off severely, but I will take as many studio albums as we can get from now till whenever they call it a day.

I agree. The two to three year tour cycles blow. I saw them last February. I'm ready for a new album. They'll come around with basically the same show this spring, and then it's wait another year.

I'm glad the LNF stuff has been coming though, but even that seems so half assed.
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've been averaging 3 per tour. But I did 3 on the last leg, and this one looks to be a bit different..So..it depends on the locations!

"And then the plan is that we're supposed to do something in the spring throughout North America. And then we'll finally get over to Asia, because we haven't been there… That was supposed to be our next leg when we finished in Glasgow in February 2020, just before the pandemic. We were supposed to be in Asia in April [2020]. That never happened. So we have to get to Asia, go through Asia. And then I think that's it."

When he refers to planned Asia dates in spring 2020, isn't that when the cancelled Australia dates were supposed to happen?  If so, this sounds like he's lumping Australia with Asia, so it may be good news for DT fans down under.


Hearing confirmation that Dream Theater will soon return to the studio makes my heart soar every time.

I haven't seen any such confirmation.  13+ months isn't "soon" in my book.
