Prophets of War was actually very powerful, with all of the imagery that was being shown on the screen. Also, it leaded in perfectly to Sacrificed Sons. I remember watching the making of DVD for Systematic Chaos and that they had the audience do all of the chanting in the song, which was perfect because they flashed those words up on the screen and we shouted them out...and everyone was into it the response was loud. Cool audience participation song in my book.

I enjoyed the show and DT's musicianship was top-notch as always (and Labrie sang quite well, nice to hear he still has most of his range and power), but......yeah. The setlist was disappointing.
In keeping with my tradition, I managed to miss Scale the Summit AGAIN. Was really looking forward to seeing them after hearing all the raves at Texas MadFest (missed them there by less than ten minutes), but thanks to venue incompetence, my tickets didn't get there until well into Bigelf's set. I liked them, and also liked what I saw of ZPZ.
Epic fail on the part of the reserved-seating: Someone had the exact same seat ticket that I had (!), so I ended up watching DT's set from the back of the reserved-seats balcony, downstairs in the old Cotton Club (on the widescreen) or in the balcony bar (nice flat-screens).
Oh, beware the annoying loud dude from Long Island who will be seeing "ten shows, baybeee!" on this tour. It was funny...een though he loudly proclaimed himself the biggest DT fan in the universe, he spent most of the show walking around and loudly telling people why the audience sucked, why they're always better to see in NY, etc. Ahhh, how pleasant.

That's a phenomenal set...great mix of new & old. That set should get any real DT fan off.

I was thinking the same thing. Wish I'd been at the Asheville show!
AFAIK, Mike Portnoy still changes up each city's setlist so that any particular tour-stop gets as much new material as possible....guess it was Atlanta's turn to suck.
Anyone else notice how abysmally slow the people at the Tabernacle's will-call window were? Whew!

Agreed. That would have certainly been more worth seeing. Metropolis Pt. 1, hell yeah.

Your entire post appears to be complete dribble, and full of asinine comments. Dream Theater fans are some the most knowledgeable fans that exist. They know the songs like "Prophets of War," and "Sacrificed Sons."
If you still need to see songs like "Pull Me Under," then I feel sorry for you. It is a good song, I but I have seen it 8 times, and don't ever need to see if again. "Constant Motion" and "The Dark Eternal Night" were played on the last tour.
People like you, who don't go to the actual show, need to get off of your soap box and stop criticizing something that YOU actually didn't see. Leave that to true fan who goes to the show.

Hollow Years is not one of my favorites, but they changed the arrangement around and played it very loosely - it was cool. And Voices was great.
Yeah, I was quite pleased with the set list.
I think they've been playing Metropolis every night.

Yep. In fact, he was so stereotypically loud and annoying I had to have a bit of fun with him at one point.
"I'M SEEING DT TEN TIMES ON THIS TOUR, BAYBEE!"
"Cool, but did you see them at Malibu Beach Club on Long Island?" I asked. (I knew the guy wasn't old enough to have seen them on that tour.)
"--Woah. Where ya from?"
"Here -- but I was born in New York," I said.
"Oh."

I ran into that dude too!! He spotted my Angra shirt and started talking me up. He's apparently writing a book about his tour experiences as well. But yeah, he ended up near where I was during the show, annoyingly shouting things like "THIS SONG IS INCREDIBLE!!" when a song started or "JOHN PETRUCCI RULES!!" after a solo.

Yeah, I'm way wrong - they're only playing Metropolis like every other show.

Again, this largely depends on when the song was last performed in any one city on the tour. "Mike Portnoy knows all. Sees all."
--A bit like the Grand Galactic Inquisitor, only not as loud.
