2009/10 WORLD TOUR DISCUSSION THREAD

[Nick]

I just saw a video of PoW live.


......when did DT start using backing tracks?

This is the first time, was a little surprising when I saw it for sure.

But it's not like the members aren't doing something, it would be tough for MP to play the drum part and pull those lines off live.

I think MP's explanation is fair, but I disagree with the fact that he couldn't do the original version justice. They're very angry verses, it's not like he needs to be delicate with his phrasing or anything.

[Ultimetalhead]

What the hell was so special about the NYC show?

[Disappear]

 

[chrisbDTM]

What the hell was so special about the NYC show?

MP jammed with bigelf and Zappa

MP sang a song with Zappa

Dweezil came out for a solo improv with JR and JP during metropolis

[ResultsMayVary]

Anyone updating from Quebec tonight? If so, Bigelf is one right now i think.

[Crow]

Uh, this might be kinda odd...
I have a friend who said he went to the Asheville, NC show...
He says the band played TBOT... the setlist doesn't show that, though.
Other details of the show, according to him:
BTBAM subbed for Scale the Summit
Mike Portnoy had an epic drum solo during Erotomania after Petrucci's guitar malfunctioned
Petrucci and Rudess and a guitar/keytar duel during Metropolis

He says that Portnoy started crying halfway through TBOT and had to leave the stage.

Your friend tried to bullshit you and didn't realize you have primary sources?

[ResultsMayVary]

There was a show in Quebec tonight, anyone know the setlist?

Your friend is a bullshit artist. And not a very good one.

Although i think there was a short drum solo in Erotomania though...

[Crow]

I dunno... he wasn't sure if was TBOT or TCOT, actually 0_o
Don't know how he'd get confused...
But none of the other stuff is true either? >_>

I think the part about the drum solo in Erotomania was partly true. It was a rather short improvision because the guitar did go down for a short amount of time.

sounds like your bud needs to learn songs titles, and also not lie about what guys do onstage...

[skydivingninja]

In Asheville?  They definitely didn't play TBOT, but JP's rig DID fail during Erotomania so Mike did a drum solo before they all launched back into the Silent Man theme.

EDIT: Also, no Mirror, and no BTBAM

[SystematicThought]

Is that over 90 minutes?

[cyberdrummer]

Shit, not As I Am again.

Yup, I remember reading that somewhere.

Were you there ? I was, and besides Forsaken, it was a damn good set. JLB was on fire (as usual) and during Erotomania, they took a break and when they were about to start again Mike faked to play, so JMX was the only one playing (he played like 3 notes) and he actually SMILED !!! That was awesome.

[chrisbDTM]

[SystematicThought]

I want Boston's setlist.... over an hour and 30 minutes.

Really?  I mean, if they replaced RoP, PoW, and AiA with Metropolis, Erotomania, and Voices, it would be a perfect setlist IMO.

That's pretty much what I said...

[SystematicThought]

I would be content with this set for MN

[JoSeM90DT]

I would be content with this set for MN

I just want ITNOG instead of "As I Am" and that would be PERFECT!
