They're not simultanious. 2nd stage plays the first part of the day, then main stage. Worry not, you'll get to see it all. There may be a small overlap when they change over, though.

awesome im so stoaked!

anybody know dream theater's set list on the gigantour?

6 hours!!!!!!!!! IM SO HAPPPPPPPPPPY

Also expect to hear Panic Attack along with some of the songs Med57 mentioned.

Dream Theater and DEP are a wierd combination, but it still works.

did any of you here about the cover of pantera's 'cemetary gates' that dream theater and dave mustaine did?

Dream Theater was brilliant last night...no other word for it.

The lights dimmed, and the crowd started to stir...then some weird staticy noise came in. I had a hunch what the song would be...turns out i was right. As the first bells rang, the crowd went nuts...then that great bass riff comes in, and the whole band started The Glass Prison as their opener. One of the best openers I've ever seen, save for Symphony X's opener, Inferno.

Anyway, Dream Theater proceeded to play a sort of "greatest hits" set...one of the best setlists I've ever seen. It included, but wasn't limited to: The Glass Prison, Home, Lie, A Fortune In Lies (I think), Pull Me Under/Metropolis Pt. 1, As I Am, and others.

I think the best part was, though, when Portney brought out the drummer from Death onstage, and both of them proceeded to play Portney's drumset. They did beats from many different songs, including Hot For Teacher (Van Halen), Run To The Hills (Iron Maiden), a Megadeth song, and various others.

If you have the chance, definately catch DT on this tour. One of the greatest shows I've ever seen.

[QUOTE=vashts80]Pull Me Under or Metropolis are the MoP-esque crowd reaction songs, probably...on Budokan they get a MAJOR pop when the opening of PMU starts.[/QUOTE]

Or when Instrumedley starts off with the DoE/Metropolis effect and they are all excited and cheering, then it goes into DoE and they all sit down. Classic moment right there.

i'm going to a dream theater/ megadeth gigatour on friday at the boston pavilion, anyone else going??

So good :thumb:

It's unfortunate that I'm going to miss Symphony X and Dillenger when I go see Gigantour on Sunday at the House of Blues in AC :(

My dad is taking me and he's not going to sit through a 7/8 hour concert, so we're going at 5 or 6 when it starts at (I believe) 3

OMMMMGGGG, JUST WENT TO GIGNATOUR LAST NIGHT! BEST CONCERT EVVVVEERRR.
The vibe you feel is not describable. SYMPHONY X WAS FUCCKING AMAZING why were they on 2nd stage with only 30 minute set? The crowd demanded another song after they were finished, and luckily we got one- a pantera cover (SWEET).
Michael Romeo=god. Dream theater fuccking ruled the stage, and megadeth -OMG MEGADETH. NEVERMORE RULED, FEAR FACTORY was better than i expected. This is how i rank the performances: 1. Symphony X 2. Megadeth 3. Dream Theater 4. Nevermore 5. Fear Factory 6. DEP bobaflex and dry kill logic absolutely suck btw

they played the Glass Prison live? :eek:

I wasn't there!!!
/cries

I must go when they play here in oktober

I would give my left nut to see DT live, but unless they come to Seattle, I dont think its gonna happen for me. :upset:

[QUOTE=Lars_ironcobra_doublepedal]
TAMA Drums Rule!!!!!!!!!![/QUOTE]

TAMA drums also cost about 40 trillion pounds..


but anyway, i got my first DT album last week in france (they seem to have better music shops there), it was some really new one called Octavarium. i looked on amazon for it but they didnt have it so it must be pretty new i guess.... anyway, i thought it was pretty cool, much more coherant than i expected. i expected mroe pointless wankery but i was dissapointed (or un-dis-appointed :confuse:).

anyway, they seem to have a pretty solid rhythm and it seems to flow even with the wierd rhythms and time signatures. the drummer's good, to be sure, and he does a load of stuff i cant get near at the moment, but then again so do most pro drummers. to me it seemed a bit more accessible than tool. they also use more 'way-out' stuff.


hmm but anyway i really liked it, so i might get another. amazon couldnt decide which was best so i might go for liquid tension experiment or something...

[QUOTE=Ollie The Drumming Legend] it seemed a bit more accessible than tool. they also use more 'way-out' stuff.
[/QUOTE]

Yeah but Maynard James Keenan is a total moron, I really dispise him>_<, tool should have Dio! :lol:

Octavirium is awesome, the melodic chorus on The root of all evil reminds me of muse for some reason.

I'm bored, here's my ideal DT detlist if I were ever to see them:

The Glass Prison
This Dying Soul
The Root of All Evil
Metropolis Part 1
YTSE Jam
Lie
The Spirit Carries On
Trail of Tears
Panic Attack
As I Am
The Dance of Eternity
Pull Me Under
Scarred
New Millennium
The Killing Hand
Home
Disappear

[b]Encore[/b]

Octavarium

That is roughly a 3 hour set (I hope).

I woudl give my left nut just to see them play The Glass Prison live.

I have to agree, I would too.
I don't need it anyway :naughty:

Edit: What's wrong with Mr Petrucci though??! Please see [url=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v381/papa_shank/11DTGigan72605Alina_001.jpg]this[/url]

Scenes from a memory!!!

My God, he looks like Wayne Static. :confused:

Can't wait to see DT, about 2 months now.

I wish they would play Space Dye Vest but it's just not going to happen, no matter how much I wish.

I finally bought Awake today... pretty different from Train of Thought and 6 Degrees... but I heard this one takes time to grow on you.

Awake was the first DT album I bought, took quite a while for it to grow on me.

Same, but I really love it now.

Oh my gosh. My mum used to think he was the most awesome thing since sliced bread (with short hair, and the slight goatee), but now she thinks he's not attractive at all.

Anyway, I like Awake. It has my favorite Dream Theater songs ever on it, so I didn't have to let it grow on me.

(my favorite DT songs are Space-Dye Vest and Erotomania)

I really like The Mirror and Lie.

Petrucci was awesome with long hair, and then for a small time after he got it cut he still looked decent. These days.. What the ****?! Mid Life crisis already :evil:

There's one thing wrong with Awake, and that's (The?) Silent Man.

Yeah, but otherwise Awake is a good solid album

i don't mind the silent man too much. i do like the LSFNY version a lot more though, with that heavier part towards the end, except i'm not sure that version would fit as well in A Mind Beside Itself on the album.

I second that!

[QUOTE=3rdplanet]There's one thing wrong with Awake, and that's (The?) Silent Man.[/QUOTE]


wtf I love that song, if anything it's Lifting shadows off a dream. I LOVE the acoustic guitar solo during Silent Man

He's gone metal. Its the way it should be. :thumb: :lol:

I enjoy both versions of The Silent Man, but definitely the LSFNY version a lot more, thanks to the solos.
