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).

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 cra[i]p[/i], 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, [i]and[/i] all the covers, [i]and[/i] 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.)

The Instrumedly in Budokan:

Part of the crazy Beyond This Life jam, also from Budokan:

Yeah, it's a pity I have to watch 5 years in a livetime on a computer though, due to the reason of it being an American copy.
I love the version of surrounded, I hope they play that when I finally see them, apparently they did it on the 6DOIT tour alot... according to the DVD commentary anyway.

has anyone seen DT on their current tour?

[QUOTE=Happy]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[/QUOTE]

Row 7 for me mother FCuker

[QUOTE=Alex]has anyone seen DT on their current tour?[/QUOTE]

Not yet, but I will be.

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.

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

Does anyone here have live recordind of DT playing Master of Puppets album live? Because I do and I've never heard of anyone else having it before.

Oh yeah, right. Well you should right down every song that they can play so that we know what songs we'll be on the Radio City Music Hall DVD.

I will, even though they post the set lists on their web site.

Hmm, I'm thinking of doing a DT medley. What songs should I put in it?

[QUOTE=Happy]Hmm, I'm thinking of doing a DT medley. What songs should I put in it?[/QUOTE]


Some thing from A Change of Seasons, Stream of Consciousness, Under a Glassmoon, Ytse Jam, Octavarium, Erotomania, In the Name of God and Overture 1928.

I've already got bits from SOC, YTSE Jam and Erotomania. I never thought of ITNOG. Good choices.

Thanks. Glad I could help :thumb:

Will you let us hear it when your done?

NP: Metropolis: Scenes from a Memory (Strange Deja Vu)

I cant fully enjoy SFAM unless I listen to it un-interupted.

strange deja vu is my least fave off of SFAM :\ and it's what they're playing mostly this last tour besides fatal tragedy. but they've already played fatal tragedy in my town on the last time through.

i JUST got into ACOS. what's the part of the song around 13:00?

I'll try and get it recorded and if I do, of course I'll post it here. Trouble is I've got nothing to record with and my drummer plays far too loud for an 8 track.

Tell him the chaps over at the DT thread say to play lower or we will eSlap him.

Haha, it gets so bad at band practice I have to put toilet paper in my ears. I need some earplugs.

Im sure toilet paper won't help that much. :lol:

i dont quite understand how those in-ear monitors work.
can each band member hear the overall house balance?

oh and it was V. another world. thanks :] it's my favorite part

I thought it was to protect the ears.

[QUOTE=GenuineImitation]Im sure toilet paper won't help that much. :lol:[/QUOTE]
It worked actually. You have to make sure it goes properly into the ear and is all bunched tightly.

Thats cool. I'll try that out when I start a band in college.

That is a my favorite, followed by I. The Crimson Sunrise.

[QUOTE=GenuineImitation]I thought it was to protect the ears.[/QUOTE]

is it? cuz they keep saying they got rid of the on-stage monitors and started using in-ear monitors, which i assume does the same thing.

dual function perhaps?
