i saw DT for the first time saturday night at the congress theater in chicago... what an experience first of all tickets were sold out so my buddy and i just went to the show looking for a scalper and we found this jolly middle aged man who sold us 2 tickets for 30$ a piece (which is less than face value) so that was cool it was standing room only so we were maybe 15 feet away from the band. the show started with a movie of all the DT album covers and the theme for the first half of the show was the heavy tracks from each album. the second half of the show was the epic tracks from each album. one major highlight was the drum solo, where Mike invited his friend charlie Benante (the drummer from anthrax) up to play a duel drum solo. it was the most incredible thing i have ever seen, at one point they were both ripping the bass drums and i could feel my internal organs violently vbrating. then they each started playing recognizable drum beats, Charlie played the drum intro to 'rock and roll' (Led Zeppelin), Mike countered with 'when the levee breaks' (Led Zeppelin) then Mike played some metallica song, then Chris played the drum intro to 'run to the hills' (iron maiden) and then ever John Petrucci started playing along and played the intro riff to 'rn to the hills' long with him, hen mike played another song that i cant remember (with john playing along as well) then Chris played the intro to '6:00' (DT) perfectly (again with john playing along) and finally Mike played the end of "Moby Dick' (Zeppelin) with John doing his best Jimmy Page impression as well. that was nuts i was floored. there were a few other suprises scattered throughout songs all through the night ('wish you were here' during 'under peruvian skies' and 'wherever i may roam' (metallica) during 'take the time') then the highlight of the show was the intro to 'octavarium', i dont know if any of you have seen the synth that Jordan uses for it but its called the http://namm.harmony-central.com/WNAMM04/Content/Haken/PR/Continuum.html - continuum fingerboard buts its a pretty new analog synth technology and it creates the most dynamic incredible sounds, Jordan really stole the show at this point, i cant even describe how it looked/sounded live i must addmit i wasn't expecting such a good show, i know Labrie has been known to sound pretty weak at times live, but he was right on and got lots of applause after his huge wails, i was also expecting no talking in between songs, but Labrie told a few stories, and talked to the audience a lot which i really like to see during concerts. i also didnt expect the show to have such energy, when i think of DT playing i usually think of 5 highly technical musical machines, but these guys were really loose, and animated on stage (except Petrucci who everytime the camera was on his face he just looked so uncomfortable and awkward, which he should because he looked like a tool with his hair and beard), Muyng was swaying and looking really fluid and relaxed, Jordan was spinning around on his keyboard, Mike was always standing/spitting while playing ( i dont know how he does that), throwing sticks into the audience (once during his drum solo he threw a stick into the air like Neil Peart, but he threw it too far behind him and dropped in and he started laughing), and making funny faces, Labrie was running around and doing a Robert Plant impression. it was great so basically i'm never missing a DT show in the chicago area |

I saw them the night before you, in Minneapolis on Friday. Awesome awesome show. I was about 25 feet from the stage. I took some vids with my smuggled digital camera, cleverly hidden in my jacket. Unfortunately, I got the idea that it might be safe to hold it up while filming because there was a rotund gentleman in front of me filming with his camera in plain view. So I whipped mine out in the attempt to get some solid footage, when what to my wondering eyes should appear but a mannish usher to take away my cheer.......and my camera. It was confiscated till the end of the show, when to my pleasant surprise I discovered they had deleted my vids. Thanks a lot, morons. I personally don't care what anyone says about taking videos at concerts: it was an attempt to get a token of rememberance for my first REAL concert, but of course bootlegging is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO BAD EVERYONE!!!! I got over it though. The show was awesome. Jordan's rotating keyboard = nuts. I couldn't believe they played the entire Octavarium song. And LaBrie was in very very tight vocal form, I couldn't believe it. Awesome night. And Portnoy also missed two stick flips during the night, haha. He also tossed one behind the curtain to his right mid-song, then had whoever was back there toss it back to him, still midsong. It was nuts. He is really confident about his stick flipping/twirling. ------------- OBQM: www.soundcloud.com/onebigquestionmark (solo project) nQuixote: www.soundcloud.com/n-quixote (ambient + various musical ideas) |

Im considering seeing them here in Philadelphia in about a week. Tickets are
expensive though at $41.50 and Im curious to their set list. Did they play anything like The Glass Prison or Overture 1928? What about Solitary Shell etc? A set list even if its partial would be great as it would help me determine whether or not I want to go! ------------- +FUSIONED+

Jaded...no, just amazed at all the DT bitterness here. Also I'm actually more of a 60's and 70's hard rock fan Posted By: Peter
Date Posted: March 22 2006 at 03:06
No -- hopefully I was (sometimes) that before I came here. Some sure seem to think so -- see The Velvet Room.... Again, I'm NOT really a DT hater -- they're just a favourite "target" of mine, as so many seem to take them so seriously. I actually kind of LIKED the first song I heard by them ("As I Am.") Re the "DT bitterness," I think DT are simply the most successful and visible example of a musical form than many old-time prog fans (like myself) just do not consider to be "prog." They do come in for a lot of flak, admittedly, but then prog metal in general does too. That may be regrettable and divisive, but perhaps we ultimately need two separate (but linked) forums (metal and classic/classic inspired prog) here. Modern metal (and a vocal cynical, less-than-articulate or sensitive minority of its younger fans) tend to irritate me -- but much less than rap
Sorry if my (attempted) humour and teasing offended you, or others! (I do that, from time to time -- offend and apologize....)
Peace -- as someone since departed used to say!

Dream Theater are just the current whippin' boy... those of us old enough to remember the ELP Wars of early 2004, and the frequent insurgent raids upon Radiohead fans in early 2005 (not to mention the weapons of mass destruction employed upon Queen fans a few months later) frequently harken back to those days with band related sideswipes to keep all the new forum members on their toes - this in itself is a bitter jealous act, due to the fact our Zimmer frames do not allow the use of our own toes...
I personally am a fairly major fan of DT up to and including 6DOIT, seen them a couple of times in London and enjoyed both shows. However, my early '70s prog loving self calls for one or two changes: 1 - bring back Derek Sherinian 2 - send LaBrie to vocal school Ahem - back on thread... good review, by the way ; nice to know they're getting back into occasional glimpses of Floyd during 'Peruvian Skies' (The live version of this was the first DT I heard a few years back).-------------

He's a fairly good singer, but often he sings too much in the high registers. "Awake" is the album where he does that in a very extreme way, and sadly - while it may work in the studio with many takes and lots of tweaking - he simply fails to reproduce that on stage. So my best advice to him (and those who write his melody lines): less (lower) is more (better)! ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

I hear ya Pete. I wasn't meaning to spar with you. Everyone has their opinions and passions for thier favorite artists. One funny thing, I have always described DT to folks as Prog Hard Rock, I hate the whole labeling thing, but I can see some folks perceiving them as Prog metal. I guess it's all pesonal perception regardless how "WE" lable them. I am curious though why you don't consider them progressive, because by my definition, they are more Progressive than quite a few MAJOR bands labled here. Again...personal perception and I'm not looking to piss anyone off talking bad about thier premier artists. Jim, I hear what your saying about the Floyd covers. I know many folks scratch thier head over the cover/tribute thing. I was lucky enough to see them in LA 2 weeks ago when they covered Sheep in it's entirety, it was astounding!! I really believe with DT, they are attempting to pay hommage to the greats past, and not just throwing tunes out there. Mike and Jim I agree with quite a bit you have to say regarding James Labrie. Quite frankly he has always been my least favorite of the ensemble. He is, of all the musicians in the band, the most "metal" to me. Although in the past 5-6 years he has caused me to re-evaluate my opinion. Taking pride in his craft is one thing,as Sleeper pointed out, but comparitively to other vocalists at his age and point in his career he's a step above. How many of our 70's and 80's favorites have gotten better with age vocally? It is definatly an oddity. Have to give him credit for that, regardless if he seems lacking comparatively to the rest of the band.

It's not that I don't consider DT (small p) "progressive," Sideways, but that I don't consider DT and metal as (capitals P & R) "Progressive Rock." That term, for me, indicates a sound, spirit and an era typified by the classic "founding fathers" of prog: early-mid 70s Genesis, Yes, ELP, Gentle Giant, etc. Many, especially the younger/non-native English speaking set, seem to adhere closer to a dictionary interpretation of the word to indicate artists who are somehow "progressing" in their sound, or doing something notably "different" from the bulk of their peers. For an artist to be "progressive," for them, they need not sound anything at all like the classic prog bands -- see Radiohead, metal, etc. As I've suggested many times here, I really think the term "progressive," as a means to categorize music, has outlived its usefulness. Always vague in meaning, it is now made to retroactively refer to older bands which were not generally regarded as "progressive rock" (or "prog") "back then," rock that imitates classic prog ("neo prog" -- IQ, etc), but fails to progress, and a host of other forms (metal with keyboards, folk with electric instruments, world music, etc) that bear very little in common with classic prog, or even each other. I do not like the term (because it is outdated and vague/subjective), but still use it -- for want of a better) to refer to that 'weird"/"difficult"/"complicated" 70s stuff, and the new, derivitive music that hearkens back to that sound. As I've posited elsewhere, it means something subtly -- or even radically -- different for each of us, and therein lies the problem, and the reason why a 45 year old Genesis fan is dismayed to find himself sharing "his" site with an increasing number of fifteen year old "death" metal fans. Yes, there can be (and often is) common ground and "cross-fertilization" in ideas and attitudes (musical & otherwise), but also, in my experience, there is too often rancour, resentment and fundamentally different outlooks & modes of communication along generational & musical lines. (That said, I genuinely believe the two major fan bases have come a long way in their short time together here in building mutual respect and/or appreciation for each other, and their respective preferred musics. The "gap" in perceived or actual differences seems to be narrowing, and while I personally am very unlikely to ever become a fan of music that irritates and alienates me (or -- shudder -- death growls), that coming together can only be good on many levels, in the long run. Still, I don't like the "P" word. Always rather amorphous, it is now being made to describe too many dissimilar things, and is simply inadequate for the purpose it is being forced to serve here. (As with perhaps most artists, I don't like the categorization/rationalization/quantification/qualification of art in general. Art is not math, science or sport, and our mere words do not contain it, or capture its essence. It is a spiritual/instinctive/individual thing -- not a "measurable" intellectual thing. There -- my long-considered (& oft-repeated) sincere response!

I really hate to extend this part of the thread, but... I appreciate your comments above and certainly have no problem with you not being a fan of Dream Theater or of "prog metal". There are many who are not. You also have your own opinion about the term "progressive" and its application. Always an interesting debate. Fine. So given that you're not a fan, the title of this thread is "saw Dream Theater saturday night" - obviously about a Dream Theater concert, where a member posted a review of it, and fans of the band can talk about their concert experiences, or talk about upcoming shows that they will attend. My question is, why post in this thread? Just to "stir up the pot", as it were? I don't know what bands you enjoy, but let's assume Genesis. I personally can't stand Genesis. Thus, when I see threads of the nature, "Best Genesis lineup" or some such, I avoid them as I have nothing useful to contribute. So while I agree that no one should take things too seriously or personally, can you see why some people would be a little aggravated that in a thread where they could be discussing the band and music, they instead end up participating in the back and forth that has now dominated this thread. Wouldn't you be a little peeved if I posted negative things about Genesis (or whoever) in one of those other threads? Don't take offense at all this, all is well because I know you're not malicious. Just throwing in my 2 cents. |

^ I usually do let such threads (about bands/topics I'm not interested in) be, but I was simply in a whimsical mood, and saw a chance to engage in a little humour and good-natured teasing, at the expense of a favoured target of mine. Call me silly, but no malice was intended. It was meant to be all in good fun, but offense was taken, and things carried on from there. The principle parties and I have since exchanged PMs, and peace has now been restored. Understanding of our respective positions/responses has been deepened, and a friendship or two may even result. I'm often silly/irreverent (the Stynx fans have yet to come for my head, or the Pallas fans Mr. Garten's), but hell, I live thousands of miles from my "real" friends, and have to amuse myself in some fashion.... So 'twas all in jest, but when I unintentionally offend, I apologise (both publicly and privately). No big deal. I'm a silly old sod, and unlikely to change, as longterm members will know (some, no doubt, to their chagrin). Life can be serious. I try not to be (at least here, among "friends"), for too long.

I`m goig to see them tonight with the kid next door who is still going
through his metal stage. Saw them last year at the same venue (
Metropolis, Montreal ) and they kicked ass. Hope to see a different
show this time around. That was the greatness of seeing Crimson so many
times since the 1980 reincarnation, always a different show. Another
point to make after scanning this thread seeing a band live is a
totally different experience. There are some bands I have gone to see
live which I never listen to on record. The whole point is to drink
some beer and get into the ambience which is not present on a recording.

Holy sh*t. Any one of you idiots in the flame wars want to actually take the
time to talk about this thread? How about answering if it's worth $41.50 + ticketmaster charge to go see DT live? I'm not a fan of all their stuff but I really enjoy the stuff I do listen to, like Solitary shell, Glass prison, Overture 1928, Strange Deja Vu, and some other stuff. Im more a fan of the neat hard stuff/stuff that sounds like a Super Nintendo Video Game. Which is prob. why I like more LTE more than DT. Is Petrucci sick live? How about some answers??? ------------- +FUSIONED+

This was my first Dream Theater show, and I must say, it was incredible. As for Petrucci....he was FLAWLESS live! Since nobody replied to your setlist question...

OK. I don't know if this is appropriate for the forums, but I
didn't see anything banning it in the various FAQs. Admins, feel
free to let me know if this shouldn't be happening. As mentioned above, I have two tickets to the DT show in Philly on March 28th (Tuesday). I had a couple friends in mind to grab the extra ticket but they can't make it, and I don't really know anyone else who would want to go (or who would enjoy it). If anyone in the area would like to go, I'd like to get $30 for the ticket - it's what I paid. Please PM me if you're interested, first come first serve. |

Am I the only one here that actually likes it when James Labrie sings high or at all in general??!?!?!?!?!?!?! . I say the higher the better. And to anyone who says he's not that good on stage- go to a concert, see for yourself/ get the DVD coming out in a while. I'm seeing them in Boston on the 30th and I can't wait.

Anyone going to the gig tonight
Keep a look out for mailto:M@x - M@x our webmaster who will be attending. He told me to tell you that anyone writing anti-Dream Theatre posts will be ejected. Or something like that...damn Quebecois is so difficult to understand...
