Dream Theater in Engerland

Freakitchen · 6 Mar 2009 at 19:03

Headlining 2 shows this summer, Southampton and Leeds

Got my tickets for the latter! Just thought I'd give a heads' up to any fans, since it's not a 'tour' as such and hasn't been made much of. Wonder what the setlist will be like, since they don't really have an album to promote this time. Here's hoping for Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence pt2!

Bought my ticket a few days ago for Leeds. Can't wait!

I hope they play the AA suit in full. Would be epic

The Glass Prison
This Dying Soul
The Root of All Evil
Repentance
New Song

I'd like to see some Awake songs as well.

Their new album comes out in early June I think.

I shall be getting my ticket, I used to be a huge Dream Theater fan, not so much any more.

I'm mainly going for Frost* the support act -http://www.frostmusic.net/myspace.html fantastic band.

I saw Frost last year supporting Spock's Beard (also at Leeds), having to cram themselves around SB's masses of gear on the small stage at Rio's. Thought they did an excellent job, and I listen to Milliontown lots. It's great when you like the support almost as much as the headliner.

Me and 7 mates from college are going to the southampton gig, been wanting to see DT live for some time now so should be good - still got no idea how we're gonna get there though

i wish i could go see them, money is a bit tight

RIZZEE · 7 Mar 2009 at 23:34

They play in the two places where i dont live...

this sucks

Thought I'd resurrect this, anyone see DT in Manchester? Superb show, shame about the relatively short set! Could quite happily have lived without any of the support bands in exchange for another hour or so

VERY chuffed they played Scenes from a Memory, not heard it live before and it was brilliant.

Yeah just got back. DT + Opeth were epic.

I wet myself when Opeth played Harlequin Forest.

I was pleasantly suprised by DT's setlist. A Rite of Passage was the only song played last time I saw them.

They played:
A Nightmare to Remember
A Rite of Passage
Sacrificed Sons
Wither
The Dance of Eternity
One Last Time
The Spirit Carries On
In the Name of God
The Count of Tuscany.

Saw them in Glasgow on Sunday night. Put on a great show, with a set just under 2 hours.

Maccy · 13 Oct 2009 at 16:13

Saw them at Wembley on Saturday - fantastic!

The setlist was slightly different to Nazca's - will post it up shortly!

EDIT - here we go!

A Nightmare to Remember
The Mirror
Jordan Rudess Solo
Prophets of War
Wither
Dance of Eternity
Mike Portnoy solo, with support band drummers joining for his Percussive Nation 2009
Take The Time

I the the setlist further up looks better to be honest
