Mesa, AZ 2/2/2022 - Mesa Arts Center (Setlist Spoilers)

[ledlemos08]

A View

Already? Should be a 2h setlist? 🤔

[lonestar]

Interesting, thought that'd be the encore... See you in 20 minutes lol

[Blazinarps]

No intermission?

[MrMike]

By time, been about 1:36 so far.  Cool that they pulled out some deep nuggets, but several great View songs still not played.  Hope SG is at least still to come.

[ledlemos08]

Well... To the encore, Octavrarium? 👀

Tuscany would be fine too... No problem lol

[UndercoverMyung]

I did the math and got only like 1:15 at most of music so far from adding up song lengths. After View that's like 1:35. Then is the encore like 20+ mins? Or is it a short set? Idk. Let's see.

[UndercoverMyung]

Actually, if it started at 10:30 PM local time then I guess it's been more like 1:30?

DT started playing around 8:30 local time.

My bad, meant to say 8:30. Just doesn't add up with my math I guess on the length being 1:30+ so far.

[Laughingplace56]

Encore has to be either an epic or multiple songs. What an interesting set.

[UndercoverMyung]

Now I'm worried that they'll swap out ATM and SG... I really hope they play both every night.

[Ben_Jamin]

The Count of Tuscany...

[Blazinarps]

I think its a safe bet ATM will be played every show, jp will ain't to highlight the new 8 string.

[MrMike]

Wow.  They really are playing two 20 minute epics.   

[gzarruk]

The Count of Tuscany...

What a ride!

[Ben_Jamin]

Yes it's happening

[UndercoverMyung]

Fuck. Tuscany encore? No SG? Bummer.

[Nmilton1]

Holy Shit, this is awesome!!

[UndercoverMyung]

I might be the one person alive who thinks Tuscany is super meh
Maybe it'll be better live? I mean it's not bad but I don't love it at all... would've rather had a lot of other stuff as an encore.

[ResultsMayVary]

Three epics in a row takes some balls.

Its much better live. Although I saw it live in 2010.

[lonestar]

Well shit.. I may have to rethink going this Sunday... Tuscany is one I've never seen live.

[UndercoverMyung]

My biggest beef with Tuscany is the Portnoy vocals... maybe without Portnoy I'll like it?
Is this the encore? I assume so...

[ResultsMayVary]

I'll be there in Cincinnati in two weeks.

I certainly wouldn't call it meh, but I'd also rather see SG and another 10 minute track instead.  Assuming TCOT will be the end, that's just 10 songs.

[UndercoverMyung]

I'll be there too! Where's your seat?

[Laughingplace56]

Last hour of the set is 3 songs?! Lmao love that idea. 2 of my top 10 DT songs and some left field surprises here. If they're gonna play 10 songs, these are 10 fucking great choices.

I really believe 6:00, ES, IM and AtC all have the potential to be swapped out nightly. Will be curious if that's the case! Can't wait for the Florida shows!

I guess it just feels like a fizzle of an ending to an otherwise fantastic set... I'd much rather have Octavarium or two 10 minute songs, like maybe Sleeping Giant and Learning To Live...

[Cool Chris]

The Count is a bit meh, but I thought it ratcheted up a couple notches when I saw it live back in 2010/2011?

Looking at this at a glance, About to Crash sticks out like a sore thumb.

Curious for the thoughts of Ben and those who attended. Specifically... which song(s) got the most pop from the crowd?

[UndercoverMyung]

Just a bummer that I went from such excitement to huge disappointment... Like, amazing set that has me all hyped up, and then the big finale is a song that I don't love. Idk man.

104 Balcony 1.

DT hasn't swapped out more than one song on a nightly basis since Portnoy was in the band.

[gzarruk]

Interesting to see that all the songs in the set expect the new ones and TMOLS had already been played live with MM before. I was hoping for something different, but still that setlist is

[MrMike]

Seems odd to me that they'd completely ignore their two most universally loved releases (I&W and SFAM).  Wanted to give others some love I guess.

They did for the ADTOE tour.
