Waaaay ahead of you.

[QUOTE=Lord Abortion]Whilst revising in a bored way...I came up with my current Ideal DT set.

Surrouded
Home
Trial of Tears
Misunderstood
Voices
The silent man
........................
This dying soul
Take away my pain
Goodnight kiss
solitary shell
Hollow years
Metropolis
..........................
Sacrificed sons
Disappear
The answer lies within
Vacant//In the name of God
About to Crash
The spirit carries on
.........................................
Wait for sleep//Learning to live
A change of seasons

I might make a playlist of this...no live versions of misunderstood or ATC (or obviously the 8VM tracks) :mad:[/QUOTE]

Bootleg?

I wish...

NP: scarred

the opening reminds me of like...FF7 or something. idk why. ace solo :thumb:

i couldnt come up w/ an ideal setlist. i'd like every song ever written played. now THAT would be an amazing show...

jesus that'd be a long show.

Ideal setlist would be WDADU to SFAM.

Tried listening to Octavarium for the first time in a few months, and it still doesn't work for me.

I mean a lot of the songs sound good, but in the same way that a pop song can sound good. DT have got all these great melodies, but I am no longer feeling any of those spine chilling/tingling moments. I no longer have this urge to sing along like I do with L2L, ACOS, or anything pre SFAM.

More importantly, they're not 'progressing' any more. All the song structures are practically the same. Compare with 'Only a matter of time' - I still haven't managed to identify that song's structure (it might be just me though). They've also been 'metally' for the last few albums.

One song: [i]I Walk Beside You[/i] once it catches you, you won't stop listenning.

[QUOTE=Chu]One song: [i]I Walk Beside You[/i] once it catches you, you won't stop listenning.[/QUOTE]

AKA the U2 song. Wailing (sorta) vocals, inspirational theme, delayed guitar melodies, poppy song with simple structure.

heres my ideal setlist:

Panic Attack
Pull me Under
Stream Of Conciousness
Overture 1928/ Strange Deja Vu
Fatal Tragedy
Take the Time
In the Name of God
-----------------------
Metropolis pt 1.
The Mirror
Lie
About to Crash (reprise)
These Walls
The Spirit Carries On
Solitary Shell
Space Dye Vest
-------------------
The Glass Prison
A Change of Seasons

one of these days im gunna put those songs in that order on a cd (most likely will take up 3) and listen to it all at once

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:

[QUOTE=eug008]I liked JP's solo in the "Jam Section" but i thought Rudess stretched it out way too long tho[/QUOTE]
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.
