The Ministry of Lost souls was pretty damn good....and A Change of Seasons was OK. PS: Whither and the intro riff to In the Presence of Enemies pt.1 are really cool. but i still dont like dream theater  It's okay. There's not some rule that you have to like Dream Theater*. Yeah, there kind of is if your posting in this thread.

Progressive metal giants DREAM THEATER will play a few select headlining shows on some of the "off" days throughout the band's North American tour with IRON MAIDEN.

 

Commented DREAM THEATER drummer Mike Portnoy: "Please note these will not be traditional DREAM THEATER shows in terms of production. As it is in the midst of the MAIDEN tour, we are not carrying our usual lighting and video show... So instead these will be small intimate club shows... just like the good (?) ol' days!

 

"So come sweat it out with us..."

 

The dates are as follows:

 

June 21 - Roseland Theater, Portland, OR

July 02 - Newport Music Hall, Columbus, OH

July 10 - Palladium, Worcester, MA

[PlaysLikeMyung]

So psyched for Iron Maiden/DT

 

That is all

The Count of Tuscany what a great song......too bad theres not more DT like this song, or i might actually like this band Umm...   A Change of Seasons Octavarium Metropolis Part 1 Learning to Live The Ministry of Lost Souls Home   If you like The Count of Tuscany, you should like those. Count of Tuscany is a great song musically, but the lyrics are embarassingly bad.   Check out Scenes From a Memory, it will blow you away.

At 35 bucks a ticket the Palladium may replace Rush as my one concert this Summer.

Good call, Tick! I saw DT in 1992 for six bucks and their basic show was awesome! Just some colored lighting and strobes is all you need for a great experience. Trust me...

I know its likely that my some means I will see a show.

I am going to see Transatlantic next Friday!!! and I know its not a popular opinion on this board but I wouldn't trade that show for front row tickets to 3 Rush shows and I'm being completely serious. I feel that show is a once in a lifetime concert, and I can't believe I will get to see Neal Morse perform live!!!!

As the board continues to buy there Rush tickets(and rightly so) I will wake tomorrow and buy some Dream Theater tickets for there club show in Worcester MA.

35.00 to see DT in a club is a no brainer for me.

I will work on a Rush ticket as time goes bye.

The Palladium is a pretty decent venue for a show. Im surprised they are playing there actually. Its usually for smaller scale bands. Cool they are clubbing it.

Great First pick.....

 

 

Go with either "Metropolis pt.2: Scenes from a Memory" or "Octavarium" next.

[Territorial_Game]

June 9th, gosh it seems so far

 

Octavarium got me through finals studying this morning.

You really can't go wrong with 6DOIT. It's a double album and both CDs sound completely different yet both friggin' rock the house!   That being said I'm going to try to go to the Worcester show this summer. What are the odds of The Glass Prison being played? I'm hoping for it but guessing they'll save it for when they play the whole AA suite for recording purposes.   @Astromancer:   My first DT album was Scenes from a Memory and it's a classic.   Let's get a setlist like this:   A Nightmare to Remember 6:00 Take the Time Honor Thy Father Hollow Years In the Presence of Enemies pt 1 & 2 Fatal Tragedy Peruvian Skies The Glass Prison A Rite of Passage Finally Free Endless Sacrifice The Test that Stumped Them All Octavarium The Dark Eternal Night The Count of Tuscany Metropolis   --   I haven't been following the setlists and this is like 4 hours of music but hey who knows, right?
