Hello DT Fans, I have been thinking of what might the setlist be when Dream Theater plays the Parasomnia from start to finish. And I have come up with one that potentially could be a great set-list, and wanted to get your opinion. It is approximately between 2 hours and 40 minutes to 3 hours, and has 2 Acts.

Act1:
Metropolis Pt.1- Ouverture 1928- Strange Deja Vu- Parasomnia
Act 2:
Stream of Consciousness- Breaking All Illusions- Schmedley Wilcox (alternated version that is 15 minutes)- Count of Tuscany- Reprise/Grand Finale (From 6DOIT) - Pull me Under
Note: The Reprise can be replaced with The Crimson Sunset (and have The Crimson Sunrise in Act 1)

I'm not a huge fan of the 12-step Suite, but I'd be okay with that setlist as long as ACOS was the encore.

Jason Slater: For the Sake of Supposing
Roads to Madness: The Touring History of Queensrÿche (1981-1997)

I can't imagine them doing another "Evening With" tour right after this one. I would love it, but a year and a half of 3 hour shows...that's a lot! I feel like we'll get an opener for the Parasomnia tour.
Tower of ivory, house of gold? How could a woman be a tower of ivory or a house of gold?

Yea... That wouldn't surprise me at all. In that case, maybe they come right out and play Parasomnia (~70 minutes) followed by a ~20 minute encore. Leaves room for an epic such as ACOS or a couple more songs. :metal

Happy to be wrong!

They've already said they are playing the whole of Parasomnia so with that said do we think they will play it as a first half or second half in its entirety? Or other songs from the catalogue slotted in between?

I'm leaning towards a first set of mixed songs, half time break and then it leads nicely into Arms of Morpheus, finishing off with Bend the Clock and having Shadow Man as the encore.
