Thats a more realistic set

k here's my horrible attempt at a forced ideal/realistic setlist:

as i am
the mirror
lie
voices
afterlife
take the time
metropolis pt. 1
wait for sleep
learning to live
---------------------
the glass prison
this dying soul
the root of all evil
peruvian skies
home
the spirit carries on
misunderstood
endless sacrifice
sacrificed sons
in the name of god
--------------
octavarium
a change of seasons

tbh I'd be pretty happy seeing The Glass Prison, In The Name of God, The Root of All Evil... A Change of Seasons, and Octavarium.. And maybe some solos (Give a few hours for solos.. I like my wankage :p)...

as much as i love petrucci...
i could not bear to stand hours of him soloing endlessly.
dear god.

Here's mine:

Overture 1928
Strange Deja Vu
The Silent Man
Another Day
Endless Sacrifice
War Inside My Head
The Test That Stumped Them All
--------
These Walls
Home
The Dance Of Eternity
Metropolis Pt. 1
Scarred
The Mirror
Under A Glass Moon
The Answer Lies Within
--------
Panic Attack
Erotomania
Learning To Live
Finally Free
Pull Me Under
A Change Of Seasons
------------------------
Octavarium

Yah, tad unrealistic I guess, but still it'd be awesome. :)

Agreed.
I got bored during the LATB version of Beyond This Life.
I know most of it wasn't JP but I get bored watching them jam halfway through songs and stretching them out to 4 hours long.

I just created that setlist I posted above, and it's all renamed and put into Disc 1, 2 and 3, and I've made the album "Dream 'Dream Theater' Setlist!' fo shizzle. Listening through the whole thing now. It's awesome!

How long is it :p

Fecking long. :P But hey, it's a Dream one! Not a realistic one lol.

Can't imagine how fecked Portnoy would be after it. Even more-so than the Roseland show.

[QUOTE=Flower Dance]Agreed.

I liked JP's solo in the "Jam Section" but i thought Rudess stretched it out way too long tho

Completely un-real/unlikely setlist.

Take into account also I only really like DT's later work.

Root Of All Evil
As I Am
Honor Thy Father
Beyond This Life
This Dying Soul
Panic Attack
-----
Blind Faith
Disappear
Misunderstood
The Glass Prison
The Great Debate
-----
Strange Deja Vu
Never Enough
Sacrificed Sons
These Walls
In The Name Of God
-----
Octavarium

Yeah I figured that. :P

But that's a pretty nice setlist. Good ending. :thumb:

Rudess seems to live in his own world anyway.

Yeah, I deliberately chose between 8VM and ACOS, and left out SDV, because they won't play it without Kevmo.

You're telling me they wouldn't play it at gunpoint at your festival?

[QUOTE=Flower Dance]You're telling me they wouldn't play it at gunpoint at your festival?[/QUOTE]
Oh...I forgot about that:D

I feel an extra encore coming on...

[QUOTE=Flower Dance]Rudess seems to live in his own world anyway.[/QUOTE]

i liked the improv jam in BTL on budokan. it was kinda cute the way portnoy bounced around hitting the little coconut things haha. those tiny cymbals are kinda "flirty"-sounding if you get my drift.

i take it you're not a fan of rudess?

Yeah, I love the little call and response thing with the drums and keyboard, it's brilliant.

no news yet of a new DT album/tour huh.

*sad*

I would suspect they'll be writing by the end of Autumn.

hope so. hope so.
i wouldn't mind them taking their time in getting a good album out.

if i recall correctly...train of thought was written and recorded in 3 weeks? i like ToT but everything is...the same.

Vacant?

I'm listening to all of LSFNY tonight.

On Home now...love this song.

vacant was nice, but everything else the same. endless sacrifice is my favorite off of there, followed by ITNOG.

i need to get the CD version of LSFNY

I am a fan. It's just he sometimes drags things out. And smiles for no reason, which scares me.

You do...the extra songs are amazing.

yesyes.

NP: the wretched spawn-cannibal corpse

i like their instrumentations, but the vocals REALLY dont do it for me. im not into the death metal/black metal deal w/ growling vocals. i prefer singing.

maybe rudess is a child molester.

Try The Bleeding, the vocals are more comprehensible.
They're my third favourite band now, and when I first heard them, it took me a while to get into the vocals too.

While he may look like one, no one from Dream Theater is capable of such a thing.

Anyone got "acoustic dreams"?

It's like a load of live acoustic stuff...

Never heard of it. is it a bootleg?

[QUOTE=GenuineImitation]Never heard of it. is it a bootleg?[/QUOTE]
Apparently so. I'll get it sent to me tomorrow from someone I know.
a female someone:)

I'm lucky with the girls who like DT, it seems:)

A GIRL WHO HAD HEARD AND ENJOYS DT? Sorry for the caps, I just got excited. I have never heard of such a thing, at least where I live. Even the so called "metal head" listen to Fall Out Boy and Eminem.

Yep...it's great

/is loved up:)

I need to find a girl like that. Maybe I'll find one at my university next sepetember.

i took my girlfriend to see dream theater two times; once at gigantour and the other on this last tour.

she likes the ballads, but not the heavy/progressive stuff.
it's a start right? ><

could i get that acoustic dreams bootleg if you do? thanks :smoke:

It is a start. I got my sister into Metropolis, but its not the same as getting a girlfriend into a band.

Yeah, I'll send it on when I get it.

she turned on backstreet boys and fall out boy in the car today so i made some snide remarks about 'em and she goes "well, at least they dont have the same old solos in every song."

and i went "so...what's the problem again?" :smoke:

Should have slapped her right then and there. Outbreaks like that cannot be tolerated.

Really. You can't have that.

I know no metalheaded girls...though I try, it doesn't work.
