I was really looking forward to that new album :(
Well, I told myself that I wasn't going to spend any more money on music for the next year, so hopefully by then they'll be able to get it finished somehow.

Apparantly they had 4 big tours lined up this year, so Asia was definite possibility with that, but now that SPV has gone bankrupt its all on hold, that includes mastering the new album.

I hope they're willing to take chances to play Indonesia, if there's an opportunity...

That was temporary, during the Bush administration. Now they're willing to tour here again.

I was so thrilled about this show: I've attempted to see Dream Theater live three times previously, either due to finances or circumstance. I couldn't believe Pain of Salvation was coming back to the US, these are two of my top four or five favorite bands.
Unfortunately, none of the tour dates were close by so we were going to have to travel. Opportunity came up to see the Red Wings in the Finals, and we couldn't afford to do both events. After much deliberation, I chose to go to the game. Turns out that it was a good choice, since Pain of Salvation can no longer do the concert.

I would be going, but DT has once again seen fit to totally ignore the Midwest, and tour in a circle around the region. Me and my dad drove up to Chicago to see them last time (though it was definitely more for Opeth than DT) and would have probably made the trip again if PoS was going to be there.
I really don't get why they avoid St. Louis. There is a perfect venue here that would sell out for sure.

I'm a big fan of Scale the Summit and think Big Elf is a good and unique band themselves, still will be a great show I think..

I think my friend has seen ZpZ before and enjoyed it. If it were closer, we'd still go for sure. I missed ZpZ when they played the venue a block from my house, but as part of this bill, maybe I need to go ahead and just enjoy.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

Hi,
If you have not seen Zappa plays Zappa ... you got to!
I would actually like to see a double bill of Zappa plays Zappa and Dream Theater ... that, would be a magical evening and I bet that some folks are gonna join each other's doings ... and DT will have to do a couple of things from Apostrophe for an encore!

Just to be clear, PoS will not be on the American leg of the tour. I had already bought tickets to the Milwaukee show prior to the cancellation. My friends and I are considering getting a refund. I actually like Bigelf and Scale the Summit, but 4 groups that I it's difficult to travel 300 miles for 4 groups that I like but aren't truly excited about.

Most prog musicians don't agree with me on politics, but certainly none like Daniel Gildenlow.
I try not to let his awful political views ruin the music. It should only be a matter of time before he realizes Obama is a hell of a lot worse than Bush.

I have a kind of a love / ambivalence relationship with Pain of Salvation. I love 'Be', I have four of their other albums (12-5, Scarsick, The Perfect Element and Remedy Lane) and I've listened to them all a few times and they're all good enough, but they never end up making my regular rotation. There's usually ust something that I'd rather listen to.

Yeah, that's how I see it too.
I've never heard an album of theirs in full though, but I've heard samples from several different albums and wasn't amazed. I still may try them one of these days, but there's just so much music out there that they keep getting knocked down the priorities list.
I was planning on seeing them because I wanted to go to Prognation for DT, ZPZ, and Beardfish so badly, but it turns out I couldn't go because they weren't touring anywhere remotely close (closest was like 5-6 hours away and during the school year).

I do agree with you on his response. Quite weak. However I love the music, so I can't stay away 
I actually had the same experience as you when I initially heard their stuff, but trust me, once you hear an album of theirs in full, you'll appreciate them a lot more.

Exactly. You wouldn't play someone a single track from The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway or Scenes From A Memory and expect them to instantly grasp the genius of the whole. Why would POS's albums be any different?
