I'll be catching the Philly and NYC shows. The NYC show is actually on my birthday, so that should be fun.

Damn, in Brussels (of all places) they played To live forever, Only a matter of Time, and A CHANGE OF SEASONS!!!! Aaaaarghhhh!!!
I´m going to see them tomorrow in Cologne, and I´m quite giddy about it... 
I´m very excited to hear what unexpected stuff they pull out of their hats.
I´m very excited to hear what unexpected stuff they pull out of their hats.The show here in Norway was out of this earth, they absolutely RULED! Stream of Consciousness was fantastic. When the came out and played In the Name of God as first encore i was astounded, when they came out AGAIN and played Metropolis Pt. 1 it was totally exceptionable, indescribable.....amazing.....!

Yeah, I forgot a couple Velocity. (And I knew it as soon as I saw my own post, however I couldn't remember what it was.)
The set was absolutely amazing, but I would've liked to see a few more songs from I&W and Awake, if not ACOS...
Now I'm just wishing Pain of Salvation will bother to take the short ride to Norway and give us the concert we want!

Hey, when I first saw a DT pic, I said
"God, that chick is hot!"
Then, a few seconds later...
"Shit! She's a guy! I'll just go die now..."

To anyone going to the NY show, have you bought your tix yet? Did you go through the evil that is Ticketmaster, or is there something better I should be using?

Symphony X needs to take some pointers from Dream Theater when it comes to assembling a setlist. I've seen them live twice and have NEVER seen the same song twice. I'll be seeing them next month, and hopefully after that show I'll still have never seen any one song twice!!
Hmm, most likely you'll see the same song twice at some point. But you'll still get a lot of songs you haven't heard live yet. I've avoided reading about the setlists, but I have heard that they're really mixing things up again.
Holy shit! Saw them here two days ago (my second DT concert). I was wrong when I said nothing would ever top Symphony X in October- This show might very well have done just that, although they were both superb.
They played all of Train of Thought, and just about all the classics (Under a Glass Moon, Metropolis, Beyond This Life, Finally Free, Through Her Eyes, and a bunch of other songs). Also, to the people who don't like Train of Thought: It fucking ROCKS live!
First of all, LaBrie absolutely stole the show. After seeing Russel Allen, I thought I'd never appreciate another singer again, but LaBrie blew me away. He's had voice problems before (the food poisoning incident and subsequent vocal chord surgery after Awake can be blamed for this, as well as weight problems), and his live performances have never been up to par with his recordings, but all that is now gone. He's been practcicing a lot, as well as dieting and working out, and this has resulted in an ALMOST regained range (he avoids the EXTREME high notes of the past, considering his once injured vocal chords, but I think it sounds better like this anyway) and an AMAZING power and confidence live. Russel is still the man in many ways, but there's just something about LaBrie's soaring high register that's just magical, especially now that he can actually pull it off live. I've always loved the way he sounds on recordings (I&W especially), and in concert, Metropolis and Under a Glass Moon were simply orgasmic. Also, I believe the vocal production on Train of Thought doesn't do his newly regained voice justice. Too distorted, and way too dry.
Secondly, Petrucci is officially a monster. His days of having to stumble through some of his most difficult solos live are gone. He's practiced so much for this last tour and album, that he's now easily on par technically with super shredders like Michael Angelo. His right hand is simply inhuman now (especially considering the solos on Train of Thought). At the concert, he nailed every note, while looking absolutely bored. He even looked over his shoulder to check on Jordan during the insane unison at the end of This Dying Soul (constant 16th notes at 202 bpm for about 50 seconds). If you think Romeo is scary, catch Petrucci on this tour.
Bottom line, they should've made a live DVD of this tour instead of SFAM. Their performance back then pales in comparison to now.

I agree with everything, the concert herein Norway was also magical.
The solo in Stream of Conciousness WAS slower than on the record, but anyhow, blistering performace on the guitar, as well as all the other instruments and their players...
