My god, lucky bastards.

[scenesfromatheater]

It's annoying, I was trying to find the best set they played on the 8V tour, but all of them except about 3 had Panic Attack, Sacrificed Sons and Octavarium in them...ruins it.

[Happy]

I'd rather have SFAM played than Panic Attack and Octavarium.

[nowitzki]

Octavarium ruins it? Are you mad?!? Although I'm sure most people would prefer the whole of SFAM as a replacement.

[Petrucci]

Have you tried selling them on Ebay?
no i haven't.

[Happy]

no i haven't.
It's probably your best bet. Chances are very slim that anyone here will buy them.

SFAM


...nice.

That was for the second night in Sao Paulo, where instead of doing a classic album like DSOTM or MiJ like they have on this tour so far, they did SFAM. They played Octavarium and such the first night. :eng101:

[ghettoeddo]

the official DT site has the set lists for every show they have ever played...with the exception of a few here and there.

i'm already trying to figure out what my setlist will be when they come here :]
yea i'd rather hear SFAM in its entirety than 8vm, but why not both? as of right now, i would much rather have 8vm as the final encore than PMU/metropolis pt. 1

If they did Finally Free/Learning to Live/A Change of Seasons as an encore it would be beyond awesome.

[GenuineImitation]

That set list makes me wonder what songs they will play for the DVD.

[temporary]

That set list makes me wonder what songs they will play for the DVD.

Yeah, you're really lucky you're going. If the setlist is anything like Live Scenes From New York you'll get the concert of a lifetime.

[GenuineImitation]

I hope it is.

Waiting is driving me crazy. I think about it non-stop and I am loosing sleep because of it.

[Tails]

That set list makes me wonder what songs they will play for the DVD.

My guess is a standard song from every album like they've done on all the shows this tour from Majesty Demo ----->ToT
Something like:

The Glass Prison
(ToT song)
Another Won
A Fortune in Lies
UAGM
Caught in a Web
Lines in the Sand/Hell's Kitchen (heh I wish)
The Spirit Carries On
Losing Time/Grand Finale
----------
Octavarium(album)
----------
Some special finale

[Aaron_Of_Oz]

I would love to go to a Dream Theater concert, trouble is I don't think they like Australia

Yeah it'll probably be like that. I reckon it'll go in chronological order though.

[Stoo]

Question; Gonna buy DT Album...


...Which?

[GenuineImitation]

Question; Gonna buy DT Album...


...Which?


In order of greatness:

1. Metropolis Scenes from a Memory
1. Awake
1. Images and Words
1. 6 Degrees of Inner Turbulence
1. Train of Thought
2. Ocatavarium
3. When Dream and Day Unite
4. Falling into Infinity

All the ones with the number 1 are tied for first (i cant decide). Since you like Opeth, I would say Train of Though.

[Stoo]

Okay Cheers mate. I'll have a think. :thumb:

[GenuineImitation]

Okay Cheers mate. I'll have a think. :thumb:

You could probably sampel some songs from each album off of Amazon, myspace or the bands official homepage.

[periculosus]

honestly guys can somedy help and tell me about the cd some kind of homecoming please

[badtaste]

Question; Gonna buy DT Album...


...Which?

All depends on what type of DT fan you are? There are two main divisions: the metal enthusiasts and everyone else.

If you are looking for awesome riffs, go for 6DOIT, Train of Though, Octavarium. If you're looking for pure DT bliss (including countless musical orgasms), go for Image and Words, Awake, WDADU or Falling into infinity.

I recommend Images and Words as a first album. It consists of various metally bits (mainly Metropolis), tonnes of great solos, tonnes of highly inspirational moments (Learning to live!!!), and generally each song is a song of its own.

[nowitzki]

I'd reccomend SFAM for your first DT album, or possibly ToT if your after something more metal. Every album GenuineImitation ranked as #1 are just incredible though.
honestly guys can somedy help and tell me about the cd some kind of homecoming please
Never heard of it, what do you know about it?

[ghettoeddo]

tonnes. haha you aussies :]

so i did research on the recent asian setlists and i've concluded that their NA setlist will go something like this if it follows a general pattern:
set 1:
1) The Root Of All Evil
2) Another Won/Never Enough/Panic Attack
3) A Fortune In Lies
4) Under A Glass Moon
5) Caught In A Web
6) Peruvian Skies
7) Strange Deja Vu/Fatal Tragedy
8) Solitary Shell
9) About To Crash (Reprise)
10) Losing Time/Grand Finale
~~~~intermission~~~~
1) The Glass Prison (As I Am)
2) Endless Sacrifice
3) I Walk Beside You
4) Sacrificed Sons
5) Octavarium
~~~Encore~~~
1) Pull Me Under/Metropolis Pt. 1
OR
1) The Spirit Carries On/Learning To Live

not totally happy w/ the choices, but im not complaining. wish they'd do take the time or surrounded though.

[GenuineImitation]

They should remove I Walk Beside You and replace it with In The Name of God.

[periculosus]

I'd reccomend SFAM for your first DT album, or possibly ToT if your after something more metal. Every album GenuineImitation ranked as #1 are just incredible though.

Never heard of it, what do you know about it?

just know its a limited album that is supposedly recorded live

tracks:
01. Nyc Radio Ad
02. As I Am
03. Honor Thy Father
04. Caught In A Web Pt. 1
05. Mike Portnoy Drum Solo Duet With Scott Rockenfield
06. Beyond This Life Improv Jam
07. The Oakdale Odyssey
08. The Spirit Of St. Louis
09. John Petrucci Guitar Spot
10. Vacant
11. Stream Of Consciousness
12. Disappear

[ghettoeddo]

agreed genuine. i walk beside you is one of my least favorite DT songs ever.

[GenuineImitation]

agreed genuine. i walk beside you is one of my least favorite DT songs ever.


I like the song, but its not great. Its tied with 6:00 as my least favorite DT song.

[Aaron_Of_Oz]

Yeah I never really liked 6:00 either

[ghettoeddo]

i'd have to say lines in the sand is my current least favorite.
too long and boring for me.
either that or the test that stumped them all. i can't stand it for some reason.

[Mr.Metalton]

I dont know i like a lot of DT songs i really dont like Honor thy father actually. Its the only song i dont like listening to.

[Happy]

I quite like I Walk Beside You but it'd be better if it was replaced with In The Name of God, I agree with that.

[ghettoeddo]

yea honor thy father is my least fave off of ToT

[Happy]

It's a bit angsty and childish. It's one of the reasons I don't like Portnoy's lyrics too much

[nowitzki]

Has anyone heard any of Jordan's solo material? I'm tempted to get Rhythm of Time.

[bwnstl]

Yeah, I like it considerably better than his material with DT.

[Dimebag Johnny Patton]

Does anyone know when DT are releasing their new "four hour long" dvd?
I can't wait.

[Clunge]

Advise me.

I have Images And Words, Train Of Thought and Octavarium, each of which I love.

Which album should I get next?

[bwnstl]

Advise me.

I have Images And Words, Train Of Thought and Octavarium, each of which I love.

Which album should I get next?

Six Degrees of Inner Turbulance or Awake. It will take a little while for Awake to grow on you, but it's arguable their best album. 6DOIT, on the other hand, is fantastic right from the get go, and is also one of their best.

[classicrockman]

Advise me.

I have Images And Words, Train Of Thought and Octavarium, each of which I love.

Which album should I get next?
Get 'Scenes From a Memory.' You have the best albums, but not without SFAM. From start to finish, SFAM is a mind-blowing concept album. After that, then I would get 'A Change of Seasons.'

[bwnstl]

Oh wow, I forgot SFAM, I'm stupid. Yes, get that one, and THEN get Awake or 6DOIT

[Clunge]

:chug: Many thanks. Can't believe I went so long without knowing of DT.

[GenuineImitation]

Does anyone know when DT are releasing their new "four hour long" dvd?
I can't wait.

If I am thinking of the same DVD you are, it hasnt been filmed yet. Its being filmed April 1st. Not sure when it will be released though.

[Darkness]

How do you know it's not an April fools joke? :p

It better not be. I spent $350 on tickets.

[Darkness]

It better not be. I spent $350 on tickets.
Wow, thats pricey... How many did you buy?

It probably isn't a joke, they aren't Tool...

[GenuineImitation]

Wow, thats pricey... How many did you buy?

It probably isn't a joke, they aren't Tool...

3 tickets. One for me, one for my cousin and one for my dad (my dad loves DT).

[HNLzero]

I'll be totally satisfied if they play Learning to Live in Boston.

[classicrockman]

Wow, thats pricey... How many did you buy?

It probably isn't a joke, they aren't Tool...
:lol:

[Happy]

I'll be totally satisfied if they play Learning to Live in Boston.
Be better if they played Take The Time :dribble:

[Mr_Bounce]

I listen to Octavarium, and, yes, it's a masterpiece as usual, but it just doesn't seem as great as I thought in my mind it would be. Of course, many random parts of the tracks are near-ORGASMIC, but still. Maybe I'm crazy ::wave:

[Happy]

It was better than I expected. Much better.

[Clunge]

Octavarium in the space of about a month, has become one of my all-time favourite albums.

Every song is immense.

[temporary]

I like the song, but its not great. Its tied with 6:00 as my least favorite DT song.

Meh, I like 6:00. Honor Thy Father is definitly one of my least favorite DT songs.

[Lord Abortion]

I love the drumbeat at the beginning of honour thy father.
And the "Don't cross the crooked step!" part.


it's probably the worst song on ToT though...well bar stream of conciousness. But it's just because I don't like instrumentals much.

[Duman]

Get 'Scenes From a Memory.' You have the best albums, but not without SFAM. From start to finish, SFAM is a mind-blowing concept album. After that, then I would get 'A Change of Seasons.'

I second that completely, it is my favorite DT album, followed closely by Images And Words. A Change Of Seasons is definitely worthy of its own EP and is probably my favorite DT song.

Thanks. :)

I'm listening to that Zeppelin meddly a lot lately. "The Rover" just has the coolest riff.

[Happy]

I didn't like the Zeppelin covers. The Deep Purple one was brilliant though.

[GenuineImitation]

I like the Queen and Kansas covers the best. The Zeppelin and Deep Purple covers are pretty good also.

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah, I preferred the Elton John and Deep Purple covers on ACOS.

[Mr.Metalton]

The Iron Maiden covers were my favorite

[Ace_of_Bass2112]

March 18. congress theater. i am going to go see DT for the very first time.


i feel as giddy as a little school girl

[Happy]

Hopefully my band will be covering Afterlife at an upcoming gig :D

[nowitzki]

Just watched the When Dream and Day Reunite DVD for the first time. Its great, well worth getting hold of, the solo duel between Sherinian, Rudess and Petrucci is just :eek:

[Happy]

I'm too poor for DVDs :(

[Lord Abortion]

I need the reunite one, it's only YTSE records, I take it?

[GenuineImitation]

I have that also. My favorite is Metropolis at the end.

Yeah, I got it off ebay.

[Ad Absurdum]

I listen to Octavarium, and, yes, it's a masterpiece as usual, but it just doesn't seem as great as I thought in my mind it would be. Of course, many random parts of the tracks are near-ORGASMIC, but still. Maybe I'm crazy ::wave:I totally agree, one part that comes to mind is the "trapped inside an octavarium" part of the title-track :naughty:

[classicrockman]

I totally agree, one part that comes to mind is the "trapped inside an octavarium" part of the title-track :naughty:
Oh yeah. My favorite part of Ocatvarium is when James is naming all of those songs. "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds..."

[Lord Abortion]

Oh yeah. My favorite part of Ocatvarium is when James is naming all of those songs. "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds..."
That's amazing.

[classicrockman]

That's amazing.
Yeah, I was checking out the lyrics I was like "Whoa! How'd they do that?"

[nowitzki]

It was even better live, on the big screen they had pictures to fit the lyrics.

[bwnstl]

Quit shoving it in our faces that we'll never seem them live. :mad:

[zabbit82]

Oh yeah. My favorite part of Ocatvarium is when James is naming all of those songs. "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds..."

I was floored when I heard that in the song. Like an instant "WTF" went into my head before realizing it was awesome.

I couldnt pin-point a specific part in that epic that's my favorite. :)

NP: Dream Theater - These Walls

[Darkness]

Does anybody else not like this thread title... sorry, I just think it's weak.

[Flynn]

Does anybody else not like this thread title... sorry, I just think it's weak.


It could be better, this title it weak yea

[Happy]

Bit late now, but the Octavarium parts that Mike wrote are my favourite MP lyrics.

[scenesfromatheater]

It was even better live, on the big screen they had pictures to fit the lyrics.
Haha. The "sailing on the seven seas..." bit it showed Primus - Sailing the Seas of Cheese album cover...classic.

[Lord Abortion]

Man, Octavarium would be amazing live.

James just doesn't sound right on Afterlife. :-/ Is it just me that thinks this?

im laughing at Charlie, but he sings those songs a hell of a lot better than labrie.

[ghettoeddo]

wow derek's better than i thought.

i think it's cool how he plays with the keyboards angled.
and i really think JR needs to lose that...moogy, guitar-simulator tone he uses on ToT and his budokan solo...it's absolutely horrible.

[Tails]

wow derek's better than i thought.

Derek is a great keyboardist, you guys should check out some of his solo stuff, or his Planet X work. Fantastic writing.

I agree about JR's tone. He needs to lose that wah pedal-wannabe guitar tone.

[ATC]

Take away my pain=one of the most underrated DT songs.

"Look at poor Gene Kelly,

Agreed. And it's off the most underrated album too.

[nowitzki]

im laughing at Charlie, but he sings those songs a hell of a lot better than labrie.
Are you serious? I'll agree he does a decent job to say hes not been singing in 15 years, but LaBrie destroys him. Charlie's voice just doesn't suit DT at all.

[Lord Abortion]

Agreed. And it's off the most underrated album too.
Also Agreed...FII rises in my estimation every time I listen to it.

[Rounder]

Are you serious? I'll agree he does a decent job to say hes not been singing in 15 years, but LaBrie destroys him. Charlie's voice just doesn't suit DT at all.


I agree that charlie aint that great, but the only thing Labrie destroys is the song. His vibrato is so wide it goes out of tune. Reminds me of those old ladys you'd sit next to in church as a kid. When he has to go high he starts sounding like a castrated elmer fudd replacing his r's with w's. He's so loud in the mix he overpowers everything. They need to fire Labrie and put Sebastian Bach in there. Ever hear the Jacob's Ladder from the Rush tribute Working Man cd? He could totally do prog metal.

[Rounder]

Also Agreed...FII rises in my estimation every time I listen to it.

Although still not my favorite album, I do miss the proggy side of DT.

[Happy]

Also Agreed...FII rises in my estimation every time I listen to it.
Same here. It has some great songs on it that go ignored.

A lot of people knock Labries voice, but I think its awesome. It can sometimes be a little shakey, but on the whole I think his voice is great live. I don't see how anyone can honestly say they would prefer DT to have kept Dominici.

[Happy]

I think LaBrie doesn't suit WDADU stuff but he doesn't destroy the songs. And I love it when he sings high, it's just awesome, I wish I could do that.

And Dominici really let himself go...

[nowitzki]

I do think if Labrie had been in the band during the writing of WDADU it would have been a much better album. The way in which Dominici sings some of the songs I don't really like at all. For example Only A Matter Of Time, I think its one of the best songs on the album, but I don't like the way the vocals are sung during the verses, the lines contain too many words and are sung too high.

[eighty d]

His vibrato is so wide it goes out of tune. Reminds me of those old ladys you'd sit next to in church as a kid.

It wasn't his vibrato going out of tune that got me so much as when he tried for some of the high notes but couldn't quite make it so he just ended up terribly flat. "As a child, I thought I could live..." No James, you can't hit that note anymore.

[Happy]

Sometimes he can. I just think it's very difficult for him now.

[nowitzki]

It wasn't his vibrato going out of tune that got me so much as when he tried for some of the high notes but couldn't quite make it so he just ended up terribly flat. "As a child, I thought I could live..." No James, you can't hit that note anymore.
On the 8VM tour he's been phenomenal, he even hits the high F# in Learning To Live.

[Happy]

When was WDADRU recorded?

[Rounder]

A lot of people knock Labries voice, but I think its awesome. It can sometimes be a little shakey, but on the whole I think his voice is great live. I don't see how anyone can honestly say they would prefer DT to have kept Dominici.

don't get me wrong, I'm glad they got rid of him too, But I still think DT would be a lot better with a different singer.

[Happy]

Who could replace LaBrie though.

Hetfield? :lol:

[Rounder]

Who could replace LaBrie though.

Hetfield? :lol:

no way...kelly clarkson all the way.

[Happy]

That could be interesting...

[Tails]

When was WDADRU recorded?

It was on the ToT tour, so early 2004 is likely.

YtseJam says it was recorded March 6, 2004.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbPbFSpntjs&search=dream%20theater

I thought the jam in that was great, except Rudess' crappy poor man's guitar sounding solos. I was really impressed by Sherianian, though, even if the vocals were a bit shoddy.

[Lord Abortion]

On the 8VM tour he's been phenomenal, he even hits the high F# in Learning To Live.
He remains my favourite member of DT and my second favourite vocalist, behind Bruce Dickinson.

[classicrockman]

He remains my favourite member of DT and my second favourite vocalist, behind Bruce Dickinson.
I agree. Anyone who doesn't like James should go to hell.

[Rounder]

Anyone who doesn't like ______ should go to hell.

[ATC]

I'm unimpressed by Rudess and Petrucci but LaBrie's actually quite good.

[IbanezSamurai]

I think without James, DT would'nt be what they are today.

[Rounder]

I think without James, DT would'nt be what they are today.

Maybe, but I think they would have been a much better band with KM and a singer in, JR and JL out. I'd like to hear DT with a voice that doesn't belong in power metal.

[Happy]

I finally got round to ordering Live at the Budokan. woop.

[GenuineImitation]

I finally got round to ordering Live at the Budokan. woop.


Cd or DVD? Either way its a great purchase.

Yep, they would be nowhere near as Godly.

how can you not like rudess or petrucci

[Happy]

Thats because it has to travel across the pond. That takes some time.
What can I say, I don't like to wait.

How can you not be impressed by Petrucci? Some of his riffs and solos are amazing. I wish I could write stuff like that. And his lyrics are brilliant too.

True, But it doesn't really matter who does the lyrics on DT songs, really, they work well anyway.

I really like JLB's lyrics on Vacant...it's a song that does basically the same thing as Wait for sleep.

[Alex]

i just got tix for ****en 6th row at DT concert in toronto, anyone know what the setlists are for the 20th ann. tour?

I really like JLB's lyrics on Vacant...it's a song that does basically the same thing as Wait for sleep.
I've really been impressed by his vocals on Awake, the parts where he sings high. Like Innocence Faded.

The 20th ann. Tour set list usually has a song from each album played, including one of the Majesty demo.

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah, same with caught in a web.

NP-Take away my pain(live)

I like the caught in a new millennium medley from LSFNY

[classicrockman]

Hopefully something like this:

WD&DU: Ytse Jam
I&W: Pull Me Under, Take The Time, Under A Glass Moon
AWAKE: Erotomania, Lie
ACOS: A Change Of Seasons, Perfect Strangers
FII: Hollow Years
SFAM: Beyond This Life, The Dance Of Eternity
SDOIT: The Glass Prison
TOT: As I Am, Endless Sacrifice
8VM: Sacrificed Sons, Octavarium

(that would be my dream setlist at least.)

[temporary]

how can you not like rudess or petrucci

I usually enjoy Rudess' playing, but from time to time its way to wanky and formless. Some of his solos are ace. Petrucci I almost always like, except on a few overlay wankish Train of Thought song. He's still one of my favorite guitar players, though.

I agree whole heartedly. ToT goes horrible in wankiness and The Dance Of Eternity is probably my least favourite DT song.

We do this every so often, but...

The answer lies within
Surrounded
A fortune in lies
Metropolis
Hollow years
Take away my pain
Goodnight kiss
solitary shell
Misunderstood
This Dying soul
These walls
Space Dye Vest
Voices/The silent man
Beyond this life
The spirit carries on
Pull me under
..........................
In the name of God
Learning to Live
A change of seasons

How do you mean?:confused:

[Happy]

The scratching record at the end of SFAM is the intro to The Glass Prison and the intro to As I Am is the last chord of 6DOIT(or so I'm told, haven't listened to it for ages) and the last piano note in In The Name of God is the opening Piano note in The Root of All Evil.

[Lord Abortion]

Ah, I see

Wow...it's true too!

[temporary]

Actually kind of like the wanky solos on Dance of Eternity to tell you the truth.

[nowitzki]

I got one of Jordan's solo albums, Feeding the Wheel. Its really awesome stuff well worth getting, especially if you like the LTE albums.

[Lord Abortion]

Anyone got James' solo album, elements of persuasion?

[nowitzki]

Yeah, thats also really good. A lot heavier than I thought it would be. He's got some awesome musicians playing with him, there's some great guitar solos.

[GenuineImitation]

Whats the name of the album with Petrucci and Rudess?

[Happy]

You mean Liquid Tension Experiment or another project?

[thunderzstruck]

Whats the name of the album with Petrucci and Rudess?

Thanks. I think I saw it in the store the other day.

It's alright, but not as good as Petrucci's solo album 'Suspended Animation.' Now that record has some hot-**** guitar playing.

Ebay actually sell Rock Dicipline (sp?). I was going to buy it, but I didn't have enough money.

[ghettoeddo]

an evening w/ JP and JR is orgasmic. it's stuff you can pop in, take a bubble bath with your girlfriend (or boyfriend), and eat a candlelight dinner.
some of it anyway. it'd be kinda weird if bite of the mosquito was the bg music for a dinner...

i have rock discipline :O mooched it though...

the ragtime/western saloon piano part in dance of eternity is probably the best part

[Lord Abortion]

the ragtime/western saloon piano part in dance of eternity is probably the best part
I can agree with that.

the best bit is all of it up until the end of the ragtime solo

I love to play along with The Root Of All Evil on guitar. Fun stuff...

Maybe the next album will start with the same note then. Maybe it'll be the next step in the 12 steps thing. Or maybe they won't because they're bored of it.

I have all DT's easily available works now.

No YTSE cd's though, that's the next step!

So... in which album is the piano-only version of Ytse jam?

Of course, I suppose it's by Jordan Rudess.

I hate it how he adds like 1 bar of shred to Another Day just to make it impossible for me to say "I can play Another Day".

[bwnstl]

To all those interested, I'm playing a Dream Theater artist feature on my college radio station tomorrow (Monday) at 6 PM, and it will last until 7:30 PM. Those times are US Central Standard. If you'd like to listen, visit http://marconi.kmnr.umr.edu/kmnr-web/ and click on the "listen live" in the upper right corner. Just add the file that it prompts you to download to your winamp playlist and you can listen!

[Happy]

Is it going to be recorded so people can listen later? That's at like 12AM for me.

Anna Lee is a great song.

That's a shame. I'd love to hear it.

Why aren't you staying up till 1:30? It's not THAT late. :)

Anyways, for anyone that cares, I'll be playing:

Scarred for Awake
Peruvian Skies for FII
Dance of Eternity for SFAM
Solitary Shell for 6DIOT Disc 2
The Glass Prison for 6DOIT Disc 1
This Dying Soul for ToT

In between each song I'll be explaining the history of the band and what they were up to between each album.

Sorry, I know you're a fan of the ballads, but I prefer more of the heavier stuff.
Another factor that was more important, though, was time. I only have an hour and a half.

Oh, and I picked This Dying Soul because I wanted to finish off with the AA suite.

If any of you listen to it, post here and let me know what you think! I'm always open to some constructive criticism.

NP: Dream Theater - Beyond this life

[Lord Abortion]

See, DT do that alot for me, hearing a live version makes me really appreciate the song.

The A mind beside itself versions on LSFNY got me into that bit.
The live versions of FII songs made that album more acessable to me
as did the LATB versions of the 6DOIT songs.

I really started to get those songs when I heard live versions

[Shattered_Future]

I did THE single greatest thing last night.

All of you who have A Change Of Seasons, and iTunes with the visualizer, put on the song, and then turn the visualizer on full screen. And just sit and watch it for the whole time the song is on.

It will make you appreciate the music so much more.

[Permanent Solution]

Woo, first post in the DT thread.

Ok, so here goes...

I've never been big on DT, I just can't force myself to like LaBrie's vocals. LTE is pretty good though admittedly the wankishness of both bands does edge on me after a lot of listening.

That said, I got my mom into DT awhile ago because I knew she'd like it, and she does, she has all their CDs now. So my parents decided to take the whole family (minus the little one because the show is 16+) to see DT live while I'm home for Spring Break. I love shows and I know I will enjoy it regardless, but for those who have been, what can I expect from it? WIll it be really good? What will they play (so I can d/l and familiarize myself a little better)? Any good or bad concert experiences with them? It's like 2+ hours of just them so it'll be quite the interesting show I hope.

I havent been to any of their shows yet (Im going April first), but I have a few live cds and DVD's.

I cant tell you what they most likely will play because they change the set list every concert. They usually close with Pull Me Under though.

[Shattered_Future]

Dream Theater live...

Don't expect them to interact with the crowd too much...they somewhat just stand there and play their instruments. And move occasionally. That's about it.

However, if you know a lot of their songs by heart, they do play them spot on, and the effect is immense, as many of their songs have that epic feel to them.

They'd be touring in lieu of Octavarium, I'm assuming, so it would be good to familiarize yourself with that.

Others:
Home
The Glass Prison
As I Am
Awake (the album)

Dude, when you get there, see if there's any empty seats in rows up ahead. When the band starts playing, if they're still empty, fill them! That's how I got from General Admission to row G. If someone comes for the seats just say "oh, I thought these were mine/ours" and move on to some other empty seats.

I can play Silent Man. No shred in that :p

You can guarantee quite a few from Octavarium, they have usually been opening with TROA. They likely will close the set with either Pull Me Under, Metropolis pt.1 or Learning to Live. The set changes every night, but there'll be at least one song from each album.

And I have to say they are the best live band I've ever seen. While they might not run around the stage, the music more then makes up for it, and they usually have a pretty cool video show as well.

Yeah, they'll play alot of stuff from 8VM and then they'll usually encorewith an I&W track and a couple of others or maybe just Octavarium or a change of seasons.

They tend to close with The spirit carries on, in the name of God or similar.

[GenuineImitation]

How many songs do they close with usually?

[Lord Abortion]

Three or four encore tracks or one epic :) for encores

It all depends on what they want to do, all the sets are so varied!
That was just going on what I was hearing about the recent tour.

From what I've heard they've played it at almost every gig on this tour. I hope they drop Caught in a Web for their Awake track, though. I'd love to hear them dust off Scarred.

[Blue Collar Man]

I bought my DT tickets for Hollywood and like a week later they added a show in Anahiem which is like 10 minutes away from my house. Hopefully the longer drive will make the show more rewarding.

BTW does anyone know or have an idea of what they've been playing so far?

I'm personally not a huge fan of "Space Dye Vest." I think that song is a little overated. 'Awake' is a good album, I can't stop listening to "Voices."

[Lord Abortion]

Voices is amazing, as is SDV though.

I love that note James hits.

"Voices discussing me!"

[classicrockman]

Voices is amazing, as is SDV though.

Yeah. That part is sweet. "Erotomania" is still my favorite of that record though. The first time I heard it, I think I crapped my pants. It's that amazing.

[nowitzki]

Am I the only one who doesn't like scarred much?
I think its the best song on Awake

[Lord Abortion]

I just never got into it much...I much prefer...well, most stuff on there.
Scarred, the mirror and lifting shadows off a dream, I have never much cared for on Awake

[nowitzki]

Those 3 and SDV are probably my favourite songs off the album. And the Silent Man (although I much prefer the LSFNY version). But overall theres not really any songs I don't like on Awake other than 6:00.

[Darkness]

Those 3 and SDV are probably my favourite songs off the album. And the Silent Man (although I much prefer the LSFNY version). But overall theres not really any songs I don't like on Awake other than 6:00.
Same, that is by far the weakest track. The whole "6:00 on Christmas morning" thing really, really sucks.

[Rounder]

the best jam on the album is the end of scarred, I wish DT played more stuff like that, It a perfect jam. I like scarred, I didn't like the production as much as their later work, but I liked most of the songs, but I still hate labries singing. 6:00 part thing I agree is dumb. Almost as dumb as labrie saying, 'and you can tell your stepfather I said so' with the same tone most people say '**** off'. kinda weak imo.

[ghettoeddo]

Yeah. That part is sweet. "Erotomania" is still my favorite of that record though. The first time I heard it, I think I crapped my pants. It's that amazing.

123
something abt that melodic middle section does it for me everytime.

JP's solo in scarred is awesome.

my next big project is to learn take the time, it being my current fave DT song :]
i can also do silent man, hollow years and answer lies within, but that doesn't really count does it? oh and all of 8vm except for the shredding!

[Lord Abortion]

Meh, I'm not much of an instrumental fan, erotomania is good, I just don't get them.
Curse of being a vocalist I assume :)

[temporary]

Hm, as to the songs on Awake, I'd have to rank the top five like this:

1. Space Dye Vest
2. Scarred
3. Erotomania
4. Voices
5. Lifting Shadows Off a Dream

The Silent Man would be a close one after Lifting Shadows.

I found some great videos on Youtube, heres one of them playing Under a Glass Moon (I think its from the Images and Words in Tokyo DVD.) LaBrie kind of destroys the song with some near inhuman shreiks, but the rest of the band owns especially Petrucci.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Xu35xO-ZfYs&search=Dream%20Theater

And heres one of Pull Me Under from the Budokan DVD:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=kpv7cP3xmRE&search=Dream%20Theater

[Lord Abortion]

I love that version of UAGM, if it's the one on me DVD.

I really like Labrie's vocals on it, he should unleash some shriekin' nowadays, too.

I don't think it's a great album

[Happy]

I didn't at first but then it grew on me and I love it.

[nowitzki]

I was the same, it took me the longest out of any DT album to get into, but now I think its great. Still doesn't compete with my top 2 though (I&W and SFAM).

[temporary]

Awake might be my second favorite Dream Theater album now. Images and Words will forever be number one, but Awake is giving Scenes From a Memory some serious compitition.

Holy crap, I checked out the Images and Words Live in Tokyo/Five Years in a LiveTime DVD and I've decided I absolutely must get it. After seeing two videos from the Live in Tokyo part, I'm convinced that's a good buy. And then theres the second disk with an awsome setlist, and all the covers, and guest apearences from Steve Howe and two guys from Marillion.

I also found some more videos on Youtube:

Surrounded in Tokyo (this ones for Ollie, the vocals are great.)

I was pissed off at DT for not coming anywhere near St. Louis this tour and me not having any way to get anywhere else. All of a sudden, this guy that I know (coincidentally, the boyfriend of this girl that I used to be friends with and now never speak to) asks me to be the fourth on a road trip to Chicago to see them. I'm so f'ing excited. It's on March 18th.

[ghettoeddo]

take the time and surrounded = best I&W songs right now
