Might do Wolverhampton.

Might meet up for a beer...

looks like there'll be three of us at Wolverhampton. Just ordered my tickets. Can't wait but that means Autumn will be almost over

I'm looking at my ticket as I type...it'd be good to meet up...

although, with the crazy climate we are living under nowadays, I'm not too sure whether the term 'autumn' means much anymore...

hey guys... quick question.

what music of theirs will they be playing at the concerts? im going to the one at newport, so i was wondering are they gonna be playing their latest album or their best hits or a mix? cheers

DT will definitely be playing a mix, but with a lot of SC in thier, I think it will be the same with SX, but I'm not sure.

Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

I went last Thursday to see both of them in Antwerp. I had big expectation in terms of Symp X but was totally disappointed. They were hardly bearable. All their prog elements were left outside the concert hall. Truely awful. Setlist for them (they seem to play the same tracklist all over the tour) : "Oculus Ex Inferni", "Set The World On Fire The Lie Of Lies", "Domination", "The Serpents Kiss", "Paradise Lost", "Sea Of Lies", "Inferno (Unleash The Fire)", "Of Sins And Shadows".

In terms of "DT" they didn't play that many "Systematic Chaos" songs. No "The Ministry Of Lost Souls" for instance. Unfortunately both "Constant Motion", and "The Dark Eternal Night" were featured (but I'm more on their true progressive side, so...). Last song of the show was "In The Presence Of Enemies".

Concert was rather short (two hours including one encore). Portnoy was just magical and by far the most communicative. LaBrie seemed to be bored to death. Just doing his parts and then immediately disappring to the cloackroom. Not an inch aof charisma that night.

But their set is also changing (as usual). The week before they did include "Ministry" which is one of my fave from their latest effort. But usually "Presence" should be featured in each of their European concerts. We got "Home" as well.

You can get more info about the tour onhttp://www.jordanrudess.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9468

Hope it helps...

Cheers.

Ok... 9 days to go, and I'm getting excited....

Newport 9th Nov: Fandango & Snow Dog

Wolves 10th Nov: Fandango, Sleeper & LimeyRob

any other takers????

Since I missed the Wimbley show, I'll be in attendance at Wolverhampton. I did a bit of reconnaissance when I was in the area for the Summers End Festival.

As a result, I've decided not to stay overnight in Wolverhampton. :) Its been a while since I've seen so many drunks wandering the streets.

I agree, Chazzy...I don't think either of us would get a job working for the Wolverhampton Tourist Board......
