Dream Theater Australian Tour - Page 2

Cryptor · November 19th, 2007, 01:24 AM

I did the whole meet and greet platinum package when I saw DT open for Yes in North America in '05, and it is still one of the greatest experiences of my life! Definately worth every cent!

Amen Crabby, this is the tour I have been waiting for, I am also doing Melbourne, hope to meet some Melbournites at the show!

ImprintedLife · January 9th, 2008, 09:14 AM

Many people from the forum heading to the Melbourne show? I am travelling down for the show @ Festival Hall, hopefully might run into a few of you there!

Aussie_Metalchild · January 9th, 2008, 02:31 PM

Shall be at the Sydney show

Bucko · January 9th, 2008, 04:27 PM

Pass will be at the PM's XI eating Bananas... and drinking Beers

Zen · January 10th, 2008, 02:16 AM

I'll be hitting up the Melbourne show then staying down there for a week or so until after Maiden, if anyone wants to give my mates and I a tour of some awesome pubs/restaurants

Winmar · January 10th, 2008, 03:20 AM

I'm making the 5 minute walk from my place to Festival Hall that night. Should be fun! I'm sitting in the balcony so I can get an awesome view of proceedings, but it'd be cool to meet up with people from here.

fire_angel · January 10th, 2008, 06:50 PM

I've got a spare ticket for Sydney (standing) should anyone want to pick it up shortly before the gig. I was stupid enough to order two tickets while smashed, and then later buy another thinking i hadn't gotten one for my little brother, which i of course had.

Speaking of which, this will be my little brothers first proper gig, not to mention i'm dragging him along to NW and Maiden shortly afterwards. He isn't a fan of metal per say (loves Silent Force, Seventh Wonder, and Masterplan almost exclusively), but i'm sure DT will blow his socks off - i know they did for me back in 04 when i was still relatively new to prog.

Let's all just hold hands together and pray they don't play too much off the new album. Seriously, if they want to play Scenes and I&W in their entirety, i wouldn't say no

Thank god i'll be up in Sydney...otherwise i'd be serving the entire PM's XI crowd at the Kingo.

ImprintedLife · January 25th, 2008, 03:56 AM

Looking forward to the Melbourne and Sydney gigs, going alone to Melbourne, hopefully might run into a few of you there!

Awake_In_Animosity · January 25th, 2008, 05:32 AM

I am still thinking about this, I will probably kick myself if I don't go.

Pyro · January 25th, 2008, 06:56 AM

I think someone will be kicking me to wake me up during this...we'll see. 'long as I miss nothing off Images And Words...

fire_angel · January 25th, 2008, 07:38 AM

Here's hoping we get even a portion of Paradigm Shift thrown in like with 'Instrumedly' on Score.

reidie · January 25th, 2008, 05:40 PM

Today cunts!

reidie · January 26th, 2008, 06:01 PM

What a memorable day!

Clinic - Fucking awesome. John didnt have backing tracks made up so who should come along and play them live? Jordan Rudess of course! Was great to see John and Jordan jamming together over some progressions.

Concert - Truly Amazing, got a spot on the rail in front of myung and rudess, myung is a fucking freak!

Setlist was as follows:

Fan made Hitler parody video!

----------------------------
Constant motion
Panic attack
endless sacrifice
The dark eternal night (awesome animation thingy on the big screen for this one, kinda like the octavarium one)
Keyboard solo
Lines in the sand
Forsaken
I walk beside you
Take the time
-------------------------
Overture 1928
Strange Deja Vu
Through my words
Fatal tragedy
Erotomania
Voices

It was during voices that the unthinkable happened. All the inear monitors fucked up (lost power to them or something) and the band went of stage... half an hour later they came back on an bowed, apologies for the shortened set and that was that. The shortened second set was seriously the most enjoyable concert experience iu have ever been apart of.... amazing!

Unfortunately i got Myungs setlist from a roadie and got to see what we missed out on

The spirit carries on
In the presence of enemies (cant fucking believe we missed it, john and Jordan played the lyrical intro bit at the clinic and i creamed myself. Cant imagine seeing the whole thing!)
---------------------------------
As I am
Pull me under/Metropolis

All in all a great show, just glad I got to see the guys live, if not for a shortened set length. We were trying to make analogies for how we felt after the show and the closest we could get was: "Its like giving birth to a child and just when you are really overwhelmed with happiness etc. the nurse accidentally drops it on its head"

Aussie_Metalchild · January 26th, 2008, 08:07 PM

Very cool and awesome set by the looks of it. Looking forward to Wednesday

Balthasar · January 26th, 2008, 08:09 PM

Glad you had a great time. I had read about the stuffup on the DT forums, thats so unfortunate. I just hope they get it right in Adelaide tomorrow night.

P.S. Hiltler parody = Fucking hilarious

ImprintedLife · January 26th, 2008, 10:47 PM

Seriously cannot wait for Tuesday and Wednesday, hope to see some of you there!

Balthasar · January 28th, 2008, 07:22 AM

Just got back from the Adelaide DT concert.

I am utterly speechless.

My first Dream Theater concert and it was fucking awesome!!! The band were tight as and sounded great considering that they were playing in a tin shed.
Fortunately there were no issues like the perth concert except, I think, for a stuff up with the samples in Voices (why are there so many hassels with this song?)

The set list was the same as perth minus As I Am and Lines In the Sand.

Love the Keytar
