Great lineup!

i hope they stop by atlanta. this area always gets shafted for the "evening with DT" tours.

Here's hoping.

Unfortunately, the better venues in town (Roxy, Tabernacle) are owned by Clear Channel/LiveNation, and I'm just not certain they're willing to pay what the tour will be asking.
The first time DT finally played at the Tabernacle (instead of the Masquerade), they had to take a cut in their guarantee to play there. It was worth it, and they enjoyed not playing the Masquerade, but it makes me less sure of the tour.

Yeah pellaz i saw DT and Joe Satriani,& Kings x at the Tabernacle in 2002 i believe and on gigantour with Megadeth at the arena at gwinnett, i was hoping this year or 2008 they would come back atleast to the tabernacle so i'm not holding my breath on that one as much as i like Dream Theater i wish they were easier to see, i have a friend up north who has saw them 3 times this year! if they played the masquerade i won't go. lets hope for a tour though at a decent place..

True, but with the rising popularity of Opeth and BTBAM, I wouldn't be surprised to see LiveNation cave in to the guarantee. The Tabernacle would probably sell out for this show.

Um what?

 

[Kenso]

i would like to see dream theater but not with those bands...

opeth has a few songs i can get into

but between the buried is one of those bands i have no fucking clue why anyone likes.

Last time I saw DT here was at the Tab and the OPENED for Joe Satriani, which I still can't fathom! King's X opened the show and did very well.

I have yet to get into Opeth, but BTBAM rock! I saw them open for DragonForce and used to have their Alaska CD.

l saw that show also...if l'm not mistaken they were doing the alternating headlining thing on that tour...like DT did with Queensryche a year or so later. Satch is a huge influence for Petrucci.

KX did rock that night...very tight band. PP worthy.

They must have been because DT closed the show I was at for that tour. Seeing Satch and JP jam at the end was awesome too

 

[TheGraveDigger]

Should be a very good show. I did not see Dream Theater on their past tour or two so I am looking forward to this. I would like to check out Opeth as I have never seen them but as far as the other two bands go.. eh I'd rather Pagan's Mind and Circus Maximus be in these spots.

You've never heard much BTBAM... have you?

Yep, or come close.....the question is, will Clear Channel realize that?

No one has mentioned THREE. They were amazing on tour with porcupine tree... The cd (wake pig) has not left my cd player

I liked 'em, too. This should be an interesting night, lots of talent in different forms and genres. Basically, a musicians' night out.

The only thing I know about BTBAM was ZP of Dragonforce called them Between The Ballsack And Me.

Not that I like BTBAM but the idea of taking musical advice from Dragonforce makes me go
